Her Extraordinary Revenge

HER: Cannon Fodder?

"Geez, what Insan Lunes?” biglang tanong ni Kaeley, dragging her back from her reverie.

Smiling, she shook her head as she muttered, “Nothing.”

“Okay, anyway tabi tayo Insan Lunes ah? First day pa lang naman at for sure, since senior highschool naman na tayo ay wala ng seatplan,” nakangiti at excited na sabi ni Kaeley at hinila na si Lunez papasok sa room.

“Sure, sure,” natatawa lang na sagot ni Faye at hinayaang hilain siya ni Kaeley samantalang hinila naman niya ang pinsang si Kaevyn na tuwang-tuwang nagpahila rin sa kanya.

Pagkapasok ay nagulat siya na ang imbes na maingay na classroom na dapat sana ay bubungaran niya ay napakaayos at tahimik. Well, medyo maingay naman, since parang may mga bahay ng bubuyog sa paligid dahil sa mga nagbubulungan.

“Wow, himala!” biglang sabi ni Kaeley, kaya napatingin siya sa pinsan.

Kaeley was looking in front—sa backdoor kasi sila pumasok—so she also looked at where Kaeley was looking, and there, her eyes could almost fall out of their sockets when she saw the familiar figures that were in front.

“Uy, Kaeley babe, wazzap!” Saeji, the man with a white skin, tall posture, and had a very Asian features, specifically Japanese, playfully wave at Kaeley.

“Babe moto Saeji!” Kaeley said, irritatingly, and even lifted a middle finger at Saeji. “Wag mo ‘nga akong ma-wazzap-wazzap diyan!” she added before rolling her eyes and dragging the still surprised Faye to their seat.

Sabay-sabay na tinawanan lang naman ng mga kasama si Saeji. Naiiling na napangiti na lang ang lalaki.

“Anong me’ron at first day pa lang eh, nasa klase na kayo? At na’san ang butihin niyong leader?” seryosong tanong naman ni Kaevyn na nawala bigla ang pagka-isip bata at napalitan ng pagseseryoso ang boses.

A handsome man with some foreign features stood up and walked towards Kaevyn while his hands were in his pocket. “Ano naman ‘yun sayo kung pumasok na kami?” maangas na tanong ng lalaki na nagpatahimik lalo sa kanina pang tahimik na classroom.

Doon lang si Faye nabalik sa wisyo at agad na napalitan ng kunot-noo ang mukha bago tumayo para sana lapitan ang pinsan. Mabuti na lang at mabilis siyang napigilan ni Kaeley na inilingan siya. “Don’t worry, Kae can handle it,” nakangiti pang sabi ni Kaeley sa kanya.

Napatango na lang siya at napaupo ulit sa upuan at pinanood na lang ang susunod na gagawin ng pinsan.

Kibit-balikat ay napamulsa rin si Kaevyn at napailing sa lalaki. Then he shrugs at naglakad palagpas sa lalaki.

“I'm just asking, bro. ‘Wag masyadong mainitin ang ulo, you’re not actually hot,” pahabol pa ni Kaevyn at pabagsak na naupo sa upuan niya.

“You—”

“Hey Val, stop.”

Before the guy could continue, he was signal by another friend to stop. Ayaw man magpatalo ay wala na itong nagawa at naglakad pabalik sa kinauupuan.

Sinundan naman iyon ni Faye ng tingin hanggang sa makabalik ito sa kaninang kinauupuan. Doon lang niya napansin na nakatingin na rin pala sa kanya ang lalaking nagpahinto sa kaninang lalaki.

Mabilis na napaiwas na lang siya ng tingin at nakinig na sa pagkukwento ng pinsan niya. Mukha man siyang nakikinig ay sa totoo lang ay may ginagawa din siya sa isip niya.

She was really shock seeing those guys at the first day of school. She could clearly remember it. It was one week after the first day when those guys should come to school.

Pero ngayon, although it was only the gang members, and their leader is still not in the area, hindi pa rin maiwasan ni Faye ang mag-alala.

Yes, she knows those guys. How can she not know, when those guys were friends with the reasons for her fall?

The guys named Saeji and Val, who was the guy who talked with Kaevyn, and the guy who called Val and stopped him, is Marius. The other guy who was just silently watching was Rosh, who is also one of the guys under Kirth. They were all Kirth's gangmates and friends.

“Hey!”

Sabay-sabay sila ng mga pinsan na napatingin sa babaeng bigla na lang tumayo sa harap nila. And Faye’s one brow rose up when she realized who the girl is.

“Hi!” Faye greeted back, happily kahit pa nga pansin niya na, na hindi naman natutuwa sa kanya ang babae.

Because of this, napatingin ang ilang kaklase sa kanila.

“Bakit yun girl? Anong kailangan mo?” masungit naman agad na tanong ni Kaeley sa babae.

Inirapan naman siya ng babae na nagpataas lang ng kilay ni Kaeley at hindi na nagsalita. Alam niya kasing matapang lang ang babae dahil isa ito sa naging babae ng mokong na Saeji. Hindi na lang pinatulan pa ni Kaeley at hinayaan ang pinsan na siyang bahala sa babae.

Napangisi pa siya ng maisip kung ano ang kayang gawin ng pinsan sa babae kapag naubusan ang pinsan ng pasensya. She wishes her luck in her mind and ignores everyone and just watched the play.

“Ikaw babae, akala mo ba hindi ko napapansin ang kanina mo pang patingin-tingin sa boyfriend ko?” galit na baling nito kay Faye na napataas lang ang kilay habang pilit na pinananatili ang pagkakangiti.

“Boyfriend? Who is your boyfriend from them?” painosente pa niyang tanong sabay turo sa kinaroroonan nina Saeji.

At dahil sa medyo nilakasan niya talaga ang boses ay lahat na sila na nasa loob ng classroom ay napatingin sa kinaroroonan nila at nanood ng drama including Saeji and the company.

“I-I . . .” Biglang nauutal na sambit ng babae at namula pa ang buong mukha.

Gusto namang matawa ni Faye sa isip pero pinanatili niya pa rin ang inosente niyang mukha, as she looked past her and looked at Saeji and his group, asking with curiosity and innocence, “Who is her boyfriend among you guys?” She asked the guys curiously, making Kaeley and Kaevyn pfft-ed.

Nagtatakang napatingin naman siya sa mga pinsan at pilit na pinanatili ang mukha ng makita ang nakakatawang pagpipigil ng mga pinsan.

“What? I was looking at them and staring at that guy, so I think her boyfriend was one of them. Am I wrong then?” she added, na tuluyan na ngang nagpatawa sa mga pinsan.

Napanguso na lang siya, para matakpan ang natatawa na rin niyang mukha. Napatingin naman siya pabalik sa babae na ngayon ay hindi na namumula sa kilig kung ’di sa galit at hiya na.

“Am I wrong?” she even asked, adding fuel to her anger.

“How dare you!” galit na sigaw sa kanya ng babae.

Umakto naman siyang nanlalaki ang mga mata sa gulat na napatingin sa babae sabay taas ng kamay at turo sa sarili. “M-me? B-but why? What did I do? I was just asking you . . .” she asked slowly, making sure she sounded hurt and wronged.

“What?! Don’t act like that?! Nakakainis!” frustrated na sabi pa ng babae bago hinawakan siya sa wrist niya ng mahigpit at balak siyang hilain palabas.

Binigatan naman niya ang sarili para hindi agad mahila, kahit pa mas humigpit lalo ang pagkakahawak sa kamay niya. “W-what now? Why are you holding my wrist tightly? I-it hurts. Where are you planning to take me?” sunod-sunod na tanong niya at medyo natataranta pang napalapit sa babae.

Making sure that her face was hidden to everyone, her face who was afraid a while ago change into a smirk making the girl a bit surprised.

“You’re the first one to made a move to me and I will give you a reward for that,” she whispered, enough for the girl to hear, “Hey, it really hurts now, let go,” then she said loud enough for everyone to hear.

“Y-y-you . . .” biglang utal na sabi ng babae, gulat pa ring nakatingin sa kanya pero ang pagkakahawak sa kamay niya ay mas humigpit.

She hissed and cursed the girl in her head. “O-oow . . .hurt . . .really hurt . . .” she mumbled, leaning closely again to the girl as if she just wanted to remove the hand on her wrist. “You piece of sh*t, let go of my hand or I will really end you earlier than you should, like a real cannon fodder,” she whispered again, instantly making the girl let go of her wrist.

Massaged the wrist, Faye looked up at the girl. Her smirk was gone as her eyes started to tear up.

“Shameless! How dare you to trick me?! Who are you!” galit na sigaw ng babae habang dinuduro siya.

Although galit, when closely watching, you could see her hands, which were pointed rudely towards Faye, were shaking uncontrollably.

Napayuko naman si Faye, like she was wronged once again. “What now? Acting strong when in fact you’re trembling like a scared cat? What a weakling. You acted brave in front of me and when I showed my fangs, you want to hide your tail now? Truly a cannon fodder. This time, I will make you my story’s cannon fodder, b*tch,” she whispered again wickedly while acting on the other side, nervously fidgeting.

She really wants to laugh herself now, like how her cousins were laughing their a*ses out. Unlike the other students, aside from the girl in her front, her cousins are the only people who know her real character. And they really enjoyed watching her act like a good girl, even though she was far from that.

“Y-you! W-what did you say?!” she bellowed angrily. Gritting her teeth, she lifts her hand as if she planned to slap the hell out of Faye and say, “How dare you—”

“And I dare you continue that,” A cold, loud, deep, and a very familiar voice echoed on the silent room.

So cold that the girl was frozen stiff from her stance. Even the little devil Faye was frozen on her place as everything in her freezes, including her beating heart.
