Jerk Butler and the Mischief

Chapter 19: Ex

Kasalukuyan kong tinitingnan ang sarili kong weirdong nakangiti sa salamin. Isinuot ko ang half moon necklace na ibinigay sa akin ni Mister Mashimo. Hinawakan ko ito at tiningnan ng mariin, color black with red like smoke inside of it. How beautiful, especially who wears this kind of necklace. I smiled again. I comb my white hair using only my finger. I put some liptint on my lips. Suddenly, I remembered the memory of yesterday. Yes, he hugged me because he's worried. As my butler. No more than that. Come to your senses Patricia Yuri Mizumi! What you're thinking?! Itinago ko sa loob ng uniform ko ang kwintas.

Lumabas na ako sa dorm at nakita kong naghihintay sina Kriz at Joanna sa harap ng elevator. I smiled at them na tila ikinagulat nila. Did I do something wrong?

"Epekto siguro ng lason." saad ni Kriz at tila sumang-ayon naman si Joanna na mejo ikinagulo ng utak ko.

Pumasok na kami sa loob ng elevator. Hanggang sa pagsara ay nagtatakang nakatingin pa rin ang dalawa sa akin. What's with them?

"Why are you looking at me...like that? Did I do something-"

Di ko naituloy ang pagsasalita ko nang magsalita si Kriz.

"Weird."

"Yes. Weird. Di ka naman ganyan sa amin noon, you don't even smiled like that to us. Yung feeling ba na... na..." saad ni Joanna na tila nasa dulo ng dila nya ang sasabihin pero di masabi.

"Walang halong kaplastikan." padudugtong ni Kriz sa gustong sabihin ni Joanna.

"Well, I just realized." saad ko at nagsalamin sa elevator.

"Realization. About what?" pagtatanong ni Kriz at parang ganoon din ang gustong sabihin ni Joanna.

"That you're not that bad to be my friend." saad ko na mejo ikinagulo ng bungo nila.

Napailing nalang ako.

We reached the ground floor. Nakita kong naghihintay sina Tyron at Zyco sa labas. They're seem talking about random topics. Tahimik lang kami ni Zyco na naglalakad habang sina Tyron naman ay nauusap sa unahan namin. I saw the school field, may iilang estudyante na naglalaro ng soccer, mayroon din namang couples na naglalandian sa ilalim ng puno. So annoying. But the one who really got my attention is Brent standing while talking with that woman. The woman who owns a dangerous poisoned dagger and has a plan to kill him! They seem serious. I should tell him what's that woman thinking and planning about him. That Mr. President who she plan to kill was Acer Brent.

"Mauna na kayo, may gagawin lang ako." pagpapaalam ko but Zyco quickly take and hold my wrist. I gave him a 'what?' look and I think he get it. Tumigil at napatingin ang tatlo sa amin.

"Where are you going?" he said while still holding my wrist.

"I have to talk with Brent. I just want to say something... I want to warned him. Please , let go of my wrist. " saad ko at lumuwag ang pagkakakapit niya sa akin.

"What do you mean?" he seems like puzzled. He didn't know yet about that woman.

"She have a plan to kill that guy, Brent."

"How did you know?"

"She said that to me. I was with her that night, before you and those three saw me. He was going to kill in the way he killed his son." saad ko habang nakatingin sa tatlong naguusap pa rin. They looked at us. He sighed.

"Don't mind their business, stupid woman. Hindi ka ba nagiisip tungkol sa posibleng gulo na dalhin mo? They're both killers. Then, just let them."

I gave him a death glare. This is the reason why I can't tell him about what's going on with me and about my plans. He seems right but I just want to help.

"Then. Just go with them. Well, I don't... need you" I lied.

Yes. I lied. I can't find myself safe here anymore. I admit that this guy was stronger and more brainy than me. I need him. Really need a butler like him.

"I'll come with you." saad nya.

Wala na akong nagawa at syempre wala din siyang choice kundi ang protektahan ang master nya. That's his responsiblity. Nauna nang pumasok sina Tyron. Dali-dali akong pumunta kay Brent, the woman and that Brent looked at me. Nang makarating ako sa harap nila ay tinitigan ko muna si E.R. na sakto namang nakatingin din sa akin. I need to warned Brent from this witch b***h plan.

I saw Brent looking at my back. He was looking at Zyco and Zyco keep looking into him too. Alam kong masama ang una naming pagkikita but, let's have a peace... a peace of mind.

"I need to go now, Mr. President. Seems this girl wants to talk with you." she said while looking at me and smirking. She take a step.

"Oh, by the way. You survived. Be careful next time." she continued and walked away from us.

Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya hanggang sa marinig ko ang tinig ni Brent.

"Why you're here , Juliet? "

Ibubuka ko na sana ang bibig ko nang muling mag-echo sa isipan ko ang mga katagang sinabi ni Zyco.

'Hindi ka ba nagiisip tungkol sa posibleng gulo na dalhin mo? They're both killers. Then, just let them.'

There's a side that I think he was right and a side of he was wrong. I'm not so sure about this. About that 'Mr. President' who killed his son was Acer Brent.

Member sya ng Black Bullet Organization, he's the president here in school and I guess, with that organization too. Aish. Fine.

"N-nothing. I just want to thank you." saad ko na mejo ikinagulat niya, ramdam ko din ang titig ni Zyco.

"Oh, about yesterday? Thank you too, for the sweet coffee you gave to me." he said while doing a freak smile!

"How did you entered girl's dormitory?" pagtatanong ni Zyco.

"Well, they just let me in. Because I'm the president. You? How did you entered girl's dormitory?" pagmamayabang naman ni Brent na mejo ikinatawa ni Zyco pero kita ko sa mga mata nito ang pagka irita.

"Well, they let us in. Because of this stupid sick woman." saad nito habang nakaturo sa akin.

I gave him a death glare!

"First of all I'm not Juliet ok? and I'm not stupid, jerk." pasigaw na saad ko sa sobrang irita. Tumalikod na ako at humakbang paalis sa lugar na iyon.

How annoying! That jerk and that asshole! Ha! Bago pa man ako humakbang papasok, nakita kong naguusap pa rin ang dalawa. Kita ko ang seryoso nilang mga mukha. Ano nanaman kaya ang pinaguusapan ng dalawang iyon? Bagay sila magsama. Both Jerk. Both assholes. Both annoying! Di ko maimagine kapag nakasama ko ang dalawang iyan.

"Where's Zyco?" pabulong na saad ni Tyron habang may lecturer sa unahan.

"I don't know. Baka nasa klase na." saad ko habang nagkokopya ng lecture. Ang dami ko palang habulin na topics and some quizzes and test.

"Bat di mo kasama papunta dito kanina?" pagtatanong muli niya.

"He was talking with Brent."

"Brent? That man? He's a member of Black org right?"

I nodded. Nakita kong may kinuha si Tyron sa bulsa nya at iniabot ito sa akin. I just looked at that thing.

"Kay Zyco 'tong phone. I forgot to give it back to him. Ikaw na lang magbigay mamaya. May lakad ako e."

I take the phone. Samsung Galaxy huh? I press the button and I saw his lock picture. A blue-sky? Siya ba ang kumuha nito? I unlock the phone. He didn't used any password and just a slide? Siguro nga e wala naman siyang tinatago dito. I opened his gallery. Wala naman siyang masyadong self cam niya. I was just looking at the other picture then suddenly, I saw an album that has only a heart symbol.

Tiningnan ko ito , bumungad dito ang thousand of pictures and some videos of him with the girl. It's Hera. Habang tinitingnan ko ang mga pictures, napansin kong kanina pang nakatingin sa akin si Tyron.

"What?"

"Don't worry. Di naman ako boto sa babaeng iyan. Boto ako sayo."

I rolled my eyes. Whatever. Pinagpatuloy ko lang ang pagscroll ng mga pictures. They're really sweet and he really love this girl that much.

"She broke up with Zyco. Because of the opportunity gave to her."

Napatigil ako sa pagsscroll at napatingin sa kanya.

"They broke up?"
