Sam's POV
"Are you really okay now?"
"Yeah, how many times do I have to tell you?"
She rolled her eyes, "Bitch."
I laughed. She's Naomi Allison De Vera, my non-biological b***h twin.
"What did really happen? You rarely get sick Samantha,"
I shrugged, "I don't know either, the doctor said it was overfatigue."
"You should sleep a lot more, look at your eyebags." She laughed.
"You don't have to worry guys, I'm okay."
"We're not worried about you, but you're scaring us everytime you walk on the corridor. You look like a zombie from the movie The Living Dead." Naomi rolled her eyes while Kim started laughing.
I glared at her, "Can you just shut up?"
"Oh sorry but I don't wanna," She showed me a bitchy smile before she started eating her vegetable salad.
"Where are the guys anyway?" Kim asks out of the blue. As if on cue, Dylan came out behind Naomi, stealing a kiss from her cheek.
"Stop doing that Dylan, the student council might see us!" Naomi hissed.
Dylan seems not to care at all. He sat beside her, putting his arm around her shoulder. I forgot to mention, they're my group, my circle of friends, childhood friends to be exact except for Naomi. Dylan's parents are Tito Brent and Tita Diane, making him my cousin, while Kim's are Tito Tyler and Tita Claire.
Naomi's originally Kim's friend who happened to ride on our jive that's why she's with us now. She's with a gay friend under the name of Cuttie and I don't know why but I feel like puking with the name. His real name is Carl Trey but they call him that way and I don't know why that kind of name.
Dylan and Naomi's in a relationship for about a week already. We just know how long will they last. Dylan's a playboy too, making him bestfriends with Sean.
"Where's Sean?" Asked Dylan.
I shrugged, "Why find a casanova from me?"
The three of them laughed, "Easy there honey." He winked at me and then started his crazy stuffs with Naomi again. I avoided watching them because they are being so clingy to each other and I'm starting to dislike it. It's too annoying to see them flirting.
Kim's just doing her own stuff too.
We are all busy with our own businesses when someone placed his tray of food beside me. I looked up and saw those familiar eyes. Who else could it be but the Sean Park? I scoffed.
"You should eat more," I was surprised when he placed some of his food on my tray.
"I don't need an order from you."
He didn't listen though. He sat beside me while I was just glaring at him. How can he act like this like he did nothing at the weekend?
The three were just watching over us when a girl suddenly came. I recognized her immediately.
"Hi babe, aren't we eating together today?" Nicaseane walked towards Sean, linking her arms on his.
I rolled my eyes. I caught Naomi eyeing Nicaseane while Kim's looking at me with eyes full of concern. I almost scoffed.
"Hi Dyls," Nicaseane's friend greeted Dylan despite seeing he's with Naomi. Naomi shot them a deadly glare. I let out an exasperated laugh, sluts will always flock to playboys.
"Nics we've talked about this already right? I'll have lunch with my friends today."
Nicaseane made a sad face, "But I'm jealous.." And then her eyes drifted to me.
I remained silent though. I don't care if they flirt infront of us, I don't give a damn.
"Excuse me miss, but I believe you should go now." Naomi said. I can see how pissed she is right now. Maybe because my cousin is smiling at the other girl.
Nicaseane smiled at us, acting oblivious that we don't want them here. "Would you mind if we share the table with you? I really want to be with my baby."
Naomi's about to answer when I stood up, "Yeah sure, anyway we're actually leaving. The table's all yours."
I'm not really done eating but I suddenly lost my appetite seeing her so I guess I'll just leave them here. Kim and Naomi understood what I meant so both of them stood up as well.
I didn't dare to look at Sean anymore to say goodbye. I just left them there. Dylan and Naomi perhaps went to some other place while Kim's left with me.
"Did you had a fight with Sean?" Kim asked me when we got into our class. It's too early to go to our class but I'd rather sit here and get bored than to stay there and watch Sean and his girlfriend flirting.
"Sort of,"
"You can tell me," she gave me smile.
I smiled back, "It's jus a petty matter, you don't really have to worry Kim. How about you and Dylan? You look mad at him a while ago,"
She then pouted, "I warned him before to stop hitting on Naomi but he pursued her. I'm afraid he might break her heart. She's our friend, I can't afford to see her cry because of Dylan's playfulness. "
"That's Naomi's decision, we already warned her of the possibilities but she still entertained him. Besides, she showed him that she likes him too. We can't do anything about it anymore Kim. Everyone knows Dylan's a casanova, I'm sure Naomi knows that as well."
She sighed. Our classmates came just a few minutes after and soon enough the discussion has started.
I was too bored to listen so I just listened to the songs on my ipad. The dismissal came fastly.
"Are you going home? We can give you a ride, my dad will pick me up." Kim offered. I appreciate her but I have to say no because I don't want to disturb them.
Kim's like one of my most cherished persons in my life and I don't want to depend on her just because she's good. Besides, I live the opposite way so I don't want to cause them so much time on the drive. I have learned to commute for the past few days and there's nothing wrong going home alone.
I waved Kim goodbye when her dad came. I went to my locker to leave some of my things and then I headed out of the university. There were too many students waiting for jeepneys outside so I decided to walk to the terminal since it's not that too far from here.
I was walking on a deserted street when I noticed something. Two motorcycles passed by me and went back and stopped near me. I felt anxious when I saw them looking at me so I started to walk faster.
But that's when a black van stopped infront of me. The beating of my heart raced evenmore when I saw the two motorcycles behind me. I trembled in fear.
The door opened and a guy in black went down. I stepped back when I recognized his face. I hugged my bag as I watch him stare at me. It was the guy from the parking lot, the guy who's staring at me back then. He smiled when he saw the fear on my face.
"Who are you?"
He smiled evenmore. Like seeing me tremble in fear is fun for him, like he wanted to see me like this. He walked towards me and I was stone cold horrified, I couldn't move an inch anymore.
"It's nice to finally meet the Samantha Andrea Marcoitte,"
"I'm asking you, who are you?"
"Sshh, don't be scared,"
I want to laugh because of that. How can he say that if he looks like he'll kill me?
I tried to run away but I felt two people holding me on my shoulders, stopping me from any steps I can make. I didn't try to move anymore because I know it's impossible to run away from them.
"You won't get hurt if you'll cooperate,"
"What do you want?"
He smiled. I don't know what's with this guy but his aura is just so scary I couldn't stop myself from getting scared. He induces fear just by merely standing infront of me. Who are they? Why do they know me?
"You're friends with Sean Park right?"
Sean? Is this about Sean? Why are they asking him from me?
I decided not to answer. I don't know these people, who knows if they have some evil plan to Sean. I can't afford to see that bastard get hurt even though he pisses me off most of the time.
But what are they gonna do to me then?
As if on cue, I felt something pointed at my waist and I immediately know it's a knife. I swallowed hard to stop myself from shaking in fear. Oh God, help me please.
"Come on Samantha, tell us something about Sean Park?"
"W-we're schoolmates.."
He smiled, "Other than that?"
"P-please..I don't know him personally. We're just schoolmates," I lied.
He stepped closer, too close till I can already feel his breath on my neck. I closed my eyes to prevent my tears from falling. He's scaring the hell out of me.
"You taste like a liar.."
"I-I'm not..please.."
"Really? Let me ask you again Samantha, how are you related to Sean Park?"
That's when I wasn't able to stop myself from crying anymore. I felt his hand crawl from my back up to my neck, acting like he's about to choke me. I just want to pass out, I can't breathe properly.
"We're just schoolmates, I swear."
"Really? You won't tell me his your neighbor and you're childhood friends? Oh well, I already know that. I want something new like.."
"No..no please.." I started crying really hard when I felt his other hand crawl under my shirt.
"..like who you are to him."
"I'm nothing! We're just friends!"
"Girlfriend?"
"No! It's Nicaseane, she's his girlfriend!" Oh God I'm sorry. I never wanted to put anyone in danger but I hate it for myself.
He pulled his arm out of my shirt when he heard that. Now he looks interested, "Nicaseane?"
"Nicaseane Monteverde,"
He then finally let go of me. He stared at for a few seconds before he decided to leave. He motioned the two guys behind me to leave too.
I fell sitting on the floor while crying. I watched the van and the two motorcycles drive away.
It's okay Samantha..everything's fine now. Hush now.
I looked at my phone and saw Sean calling.
I cried evenmore. I want to answer the call and tell him about those people. I want him to punish them like what he always do to the people who hurts me. But then I don't want him to get mad and put his life in danger.
In the end I decided not to take the call. I still don't want to talk to him, I realized I'm still mad at him even though I care for him.
