The Girl Has A Secret

CHAPTER 15

CHELSEA'S POV

"LOOK how stupid she is," I said, looking at Ayesha who just walking back. "Anyway, I have a plan," malambing kong sabi at dinausdos ang hintuturo ko sa pisngi niya.

"Ano?"

I looked around, napansin kong masama na naman ang tingin ni Alexander sa akin. I just smiled mischievously. Lumapit ako kay James at ibinulong ang plano ko. Nakita ko namang nangasim ang mukha niya kaya't hinalikan ko siya sa pisngi habang tinatawanan.

"Bakit ko naman gagawin 'yon? Kadiri," he said, acted disgusted.

"Oh, come on. 'Yun na nga ang chance para masira na siya ng tuluyan. Don't worry, hindi ka naman mapapahamak, I swear."

"I really want to stop it!"

"Matapos n'on, matatapos na 'yang paghihirap mo."

"Hays, what if masuka ako?"

"Anong magagawa mo? Lunukin mo na lang," biro ko at hinaplos ang ulo niya.

"Damn it," tinanggal niya ang kamay kong nakaakbay sa kanya at saka kinuha ang gitara. "Idadaan ko na lang sa kanta 'to," naiinis niyang sabi at nagsimula ng mag-strum.

ALEXANDER'S POV

I was gripping the book page firmly out of irritation. Chelsea's groans and their voices, made my teeth grind.

James continued to kiss that woman while singing. Nakakabanas.

My sister is his girlfriend, and I'm sure she's keeping an eye on them. I shouldn't let them be. I don't like him, he's a piece of trash. But Ayesha is being punished right now because she has been too defiant.

Ayaw kasing makinig, mas naiirita ako kapag iniisip ko 'yon.

I'll break your face one day so that no one will like you.

He took advantage of my sister's stupidity. I am aware that his relationship with my sister is not deep or serious. I should cut it. Hindi pa naman siguro huli ang lahat. Alam kong laro-laro lang sa kanya 'to, pero 'yung isa ayaw akong pakinggan. The heck, saan ko naman ilulugar 'tong gusto kong mangyari?

"What's with that glare, bro?" Casper asked and he patted me on my shoulder. Isinarado ko ang libro na hawak ko at huminga ng malalim para kumalma. I was shivering my lips out of annoyance like I wanted to punch something to displace my anger.

"He's getting on my nerves," I mumbled. I closed my eyes and hung up.

"Who?" Hindi ako sumagot. "Ah, gets. Akala ko pa naman wala kang pakialam. Naiinis din ako riyan, sa dalawang 'yan. Kung noon kulang na lang ipagsigawan niyang mahal na mahal niya ang kapatid mo sa buong mundo, tapos ngayon nakukuha niya pang makipag-landian sa harap ng girlfriend niya," seryosong sambit niya. I sighed. Casper is my very close friend. Siya ang pinagkakatiwalaan ko, and he never insulted my sister not like our other friends.

I really want to take their tongue away so they can't talk while they are mouthing off about her.

Since then, I haven't done anything kind for my sister, but our parents have warned me not to let her know that I am worried about her, even though I am still angry about what happened. They want to alienate us, except for my sister Alex.

I'm still perplexed as to why they treat Ayesha with such disdain. They don't keep Alexandra away from me, but when it comes to Ayesha, it's unfair. She's still my sister.

The fact is, I feel at ease around Ayesha. She is still my baby sister I used to play with, but in an instant, things changed.

I believe that Ayesha may have done something to offend our parents that I am unaware of. Regardless, there is no justification for how they treat her. My sister is also their daughter.

"Hey, Xander," tawag ni James sa akin pero tiningnan ko lang siya ng matalim na ikinatawa niya.

Glaring at other people is normal for me, but this time, I'm mad at him.

"Hey! Ba't ka ganyan makatingin? So how's Aye?" tanong nito na para bang wala lang siyang ginawang kalandian.

I looked away and sighed. I feel a headache now. Minasahe ko ang sintido ko.

"Hiwalayan mo na ang kapatid ko," I said and faced him with threatening in my eyes but he just smiled.

"Easy. Okay, okay, hindi ko siya hihiwalayan, ano ka ba? I love her. Miss na miss ko na nga siya kung paano siya manlambing sa akin," bakas sa boses nya ang pagiging sarkastiko.

"Tigilan mo nga ako. You love her but you're flirting with Chelsea. 'Wag mo 'kong sagarin James, kapatid ko pa rin ang niloloko mo." He raised his both hands and nodded.

"Si Chelsea naman nagfi-first move, pinagbibigyan ko lang naman siya," katwiran niya.

"And then you are responding?" Ginagawa ba niya akong tanga?

"Relax. I will talk to her and explain everything. Just don't be too upset with me. Anyways, I'll go ahead, see you around," paalam niya at saka na umalis. Napabuga ako ng malakas na hangin. Mukhang hindi pa talaga kilala ni Ayesha ang boyfriend niya.

But I warned her and I told her that James was not good for her. Pinili niya pa rin ang gusto niya.

Biglang lumitaw si Xandra na hingal ba hingal. Hinawakan niya ang kanyang mga tuhod para makahinga ng maayos. I stood up and caressed her back. "What happened?"

"Kuya! Binubully na naman si Ayesha!" Xandra raised her voice, What the? Aren't they tired of bullying my sister? I can't let this time anymore. My conscience is killing me, pero hindi ko naman sinasabi na ako ang may gawa lahat ng bagay na nangyayari sa kanya. "This is worst, kuya."

"Let's go," I said, holding her arm.

F*ck you, James! My Sister needed you always, pero never kitang nakitang tumulong kahit sa anong bagay sa kapatid ko.

Hindi ko na siya inisip at mabilis na akong naglakad kasama ang kapatid ko. We stopped when we saw Francheska with her friends, laughing and talking about someone. I'm sure that they are the ones who command the students to bully my sister. I clenched my fist so tight. Tamang hinala ako, they up to something.

I approached them, and as soon as she turned to me, I grabbed her collar and looked at her sharply. Her fear of me was obvious but it disappeared immediately and was replaced by a sweet smile. I hate her smile, it encourages me to crash her face. Kumukulo talaga ang dugo ko pagdating sa kanya.

She desperately want me, and she was pursuing me by giving me things na akala niya ay madadala niya ako.

"Why? Did I do something?" Bakas sa tono niya na inaakit ako dahil kinagat niya pa ang labi nya. Marahas ko siyang binitawan at ipinagpag ang kamay ko. I don't wanna waste my time in this b*tch. Mukhang pinagsisihan ko na na tinatanggap ang bawat binibigay niya sa akin.

"I know that you did it. How dare you?" pigil na pigil ko na galit sa kanya. Halata sa mukha niya ang pagtataka. "Don't tell me that you don't have any idea of my point? Ginagamit mo ang kapatid ko, for what?" dugtong ko pa at nagulat siya sa sinabi ko.

"W-We're not using her-" I cut her trembling voice.

"I saw you three, you were with my sister a while back and you give me some things na ipinaabot sa kanya and she's bullying there and yet you're just laughing? That's irritating! And one more thing, I heard what you have said! Nararapat sa kanya?" I really wanted to grab her again.

"Please, 'wag mong isipin na kami ang nag-utos" Casha interrupted, bakas sa kanila ang takot.

Xianna was biting her lips, as well as Francheska.

"And then why are you so sound defensive, huh?! If I find out that you did it, be ready, this time I will not let you hurt my sister again, and you!" duro ko sa mukha ni Francheska, "If ever I find out that you are just using my sister, I won't hesitate to throw your letters and burn it all."

"N-No, please," she begged. I hissed and rolled my eyes as I left them. Nakakakapit na sa braso ko ang kapatid ko.

The important thing now is that I can go to my sister and this time, I won't let her be bullied.

Nang makalapit ako, hinablot ko ang trash bin at ibinato sa pwesto nila. "Stop!" My scream echoed. Mukhang nakaramdam naman sila ng takot at dali-dali silang nagbigay daan sa akin. "All of you, go to the office! If one of you escapes, I'm gonna kick you out of school and will not give you any more chance!" I have my full permission from my dad to do better for this school. Kung pwede lang na paalisin ang mga nakapalibot kay Ayesha na madalian lang, ginawa ko na.

I ran to catch Ayesha but she was unconscious, I took a handkerchief and wiped her face. She has a lot of flour and eggs.

Don't worry, they will pay for this. I will make sure that all of the students who did this will be punished or worse will be expelled in this school.
