Page 2 of Not My Type, Not Yet.

"Idiots like you belong 6 ft below the ground," I mocked him. His jaw clenched as I held him down. I cocked my head with a smug smile on my lips to mock him even more.

"Fuck you! You're such an asshole Austine! Putanginamo!" he spat. Napahalakhak ako before I threw another punch in his jaw, knocking him down.

"I've heard it so many times to the point that I already consider that as a compliment. Thanks James, I appreciate the compliments," I bend my knees and grab him by the collar before punching him again.

The wind made the trees sway to its rhythm, birds started chirping, resonating their heavy breaths.

"Chill Aust," Rayne chuckled from behind. I looked past my shoulder and saw him leaning against the tree while crossing his arms, puffing his cigarettes.

Rafael sat at the nearby tree trunk, smirking.

"Kalmahan mo, baka mapatay mo yan baka nakalimutan mong pwede ka ng makulong," he laughs. Napaikot ang mata ko dahil sa sinabi nya.

"Gago." Binitawan ko ang kwelyo ni James. He groaned when he met the ground with a loud thud.

Pinagpagan ko ang uniform ko bago tumungo sa pwesto ni Rayne. I snatched the cigarette from his hand and puffed a smoke out of it.

Nilibot ko ang paningin ko and saw that seven guys were lying on the ground, some of them are unconscious and some of them are groaning in pain. Nasa likod kami ngayon ng University kong nasaan nakatayo ang isang abandunadong building.

Hinamon ng suntokan eh kaya ayun.

"If it's not Rayne, its Austine," Nabaling ang tingin namin kay Rafael. He shook his head while grinning. Nakapamulsa syang tumayo at naglakad papunta saamin. "You guys are trouble itself, nadadamay ang good boy na kagaya ko," he chuckles.

Rayne sway his jacket at him, he clicked his tongue, "Tangina kasi kasalanan ba naming nilalandi kami ng mga syuta nila? di naman ako pumapatol sa taong makatali na, di tulad ng isa dyan."

I snorted, binuga ko ang usok bago bumuntong hininga. "Did you see their faces when they realized they've been cheated on?" I puffed another smoke. "It's hilarious."

"Malala kana," Rafael patted my shoulder as if taking pity on me. Gago. I yanked his hands off of my shoulder and started walking away.

"Let's go, baka malate pa tayo," aya ko.

"Diligent asshole," Tumawa si Rayne na sya namang sinundan ni Rafael. Napailing nalang ako.

Trouble and Studying are two different things. Gago lang ako pero gusto kong pumasa. Tangina ba ang mahal ng tuition tas magbubulakbol ako? kurot sa tagiliran aabotin ko nyan pag nalaman ni Lola.

I fished out my phone out of my pocket when it vibrates.

Elise smiling face welcome me kaya napangiti ako.

When she learned na luluwas ako ng maynila para mag-aral, she won't stop crying dahil malalayo daw ako sakanya. As much as I hated to be away with her, I have no choice dahil nasasakal ako sa pamamahay na yun.

I quickly pressed the answer button.

"Kuya! how have you been?" Elise energetic voice rang through my ear dahilan para mailayo ko ang cellphone sa tenga ko.

"Hey Elise, I'm fine, did you miss me?" I asked. I heard her giggling on the other side.

"Yes po! I'm currently learning how to bake. I'll bake some cookies for you when you get home so come home quickly ok?!"

Napatawa ako dahil napaka hyper nya talaga, "Then, made sure you learn lots dahil uuwi ako dyan samakalawa."

"Really?!!! Yes!! I'll make you a cookie you never had before---Ms. Elise, tapos napo yung break time ninyo." I heard nanay Melda's voice on the other end. Looks like breaktime nila and she chooses to call me instead of playing.

"Looks like times up little girl," I chuckle.

I heard her tsk before sighing. "Boomer. Sige na nga po, basta umuwi ka ha! hihintayin kita."

"I promise."

She shouted once again kaya nalayo kong muli ang cellphone sa tenga ko. "Sige po babye kuya!!"

I just hum a reply and end the call. Binalik ko ang cellphone ko sa bulsa ko.

"Elise huh? quite hyper, ilang taon na nga sya?" Rayne asked.

"Mag aanim na taong gulang this year," I answered boredly.

Umiba naako ng daan dahil nasa kabilang wing and department ng Architecture. I'm minding my own business while peacefully walking not minding the eyes that's been following me. Hirap talaga pag gwapo. Habang binabaybay ang daan tungo sa classroom ko, some random girl stopped my tracks.

"Umm... Austine right?" I did not answer her. I just looked at her jadedly, I'm afraid I don't have the energy to face yet another confession.

Tiningala nya ako pero agad din syang nag-iwas ng tingin. She handed me a letter na syang walang gana kong tinignan. "S-sana mabasa mo, I pour my heart into that letter," she timidly utter.

I was about to reject her when I saw someone from a distance glaring at me. Kong nakakamatay lang ang tingin siguradong kanina paakong nakabulagta dito. I smirk, oh boy! this is gonna be fun.

I accepted her letter, agad na dumako ang tingin nya saakin, she beamed at me. Pinasadahan ko sya ng tingin, she's cute. Probably my type.

"What's your name?" I asked. She fiddles with fingers before answering.

"Jessie." She answered.

"Hmm...Jessie huh? Pretty name, like its owner." I lower my head and cup her cheeks with my left hand. Her eyes widen, I run my thumb in her lips. I lick my lips and meet her gaze.

I lean closer "Say Jessie, wanna go out with me?" I whisper to her ear. Agaran naman syang tumango habang namumula ang kanyang mukha.

"Y-Yes," I grin with satisfaction. Lumayo ako ng unti sakanya.

"Good girl, I'll see you later." I brush my lips against her cheeks and walk past her.

Hindi paako nakakalayo when I heard her squeal, follow by the screams of delight by her friends who was at the corner. Dumako ang mata ko sa lalaking kanina paako pinapatay gamit ang mata nya. I grin. That's it.

When I walked past him, he grabbed my wrist forcefully.

"Putanginamo." Napatawa ako dahil galit na galit ang boses nya.

"Yeah?" Binawi ko ang pulsohan ko and stood firmly. Mas matangkad ako sakanya kaya naman halos tumingala na sya. I look down on him, a mischievous smile plaster on my lips. Irereject ko na sana eh, but you showed me with such contempt, so I have no choice but to play with you.

"Stay away from her! alam naman nating pinaglalaruan mo lang sya!" he yelled at me. He looked at me with pure hearted hatred.

I snicker, I brush my hair up and look down at him, but I really can't contain the joy I'm feeling right now so I burst into laughter. He balled his fist and was restraining himself to punch the hell out of me. Damn. It's so refreshing

"Sorry not sorry, if you want her, go and snatch her." I challenged him. Once I caught you there's no turning back, and it seems that Jessie girl got caught in my trap, thanks to this guy.

Don't show what you desire or else I might take advantage of that desire for my own leisure.

I sneer at him before turning my back. My, my, what a pleasant day.

I spent the rest of the day in a good mood, hay nako.

Humans are so easy to read, to sway, to manipulate, the driven force? of course, their emotions.

They're like fire that ignites your soul with underlying passion, a force that pushes you forward, fueling your every step. But that same fire, once it burns out of control, becomes the very thing that consumes you. It eats you away from the inside leaving you hollow and broken.

From flames to ashes and you're left as a mere fragment of what you once were. And when that happened you became insignificant, unnoticed, invisible, and the very last thing, useless. That very essence drags you down into despair, leaving nothing but regrets.

Once the bell rang, I immediately jump out of the class. And there I saw Jessica waiting for me. Nang makita nya ako agad syang lumapit sakin.

"Hi Austine," maligalig na bati nya. I grabbed her waist and pulled her closer to me making her face red and her friends scream.

"Hey, baby girl," I whisper.

She hugged me tightly, "Wanna go out together?" she prompts.

I chuckle from her boldness, "I would love too, but I couldn't," kumalas ako sa pagkakayakap nya. She seems upset but I don't mind it.

Timing naman na dumating sina Rafael, they smirk when they saw the girl. Palipat-lipat ang tingin nilang dalawa saamin. Tumaas ang gilid ng labi ko bago magkibit balikat.

Rayne immediately rested his arms on my shoulder when they reached our spot.

"Quite a pretty girl," he said with playfulness in his voice. Jessica's face reddened even more from his compliments.

"Iniwan kalang namin sandali tas may syota kana agad," si Rafael habang nakapamulsa. "Would you mind if we borrow this guy," he pointed at me.

She shook her head, a small smile tugging her lips. "Not at all."

"Great! let's go. Bye ladies," Rayne wink, making the other girls squeal in excitement. Gosh this one.

Agad naakong tumalikod at naunang maglakad. What was her name again? Jessica? Jessibelle? well, I don't know. I forgot.

"Gago ka sino yun?" hagikhik ni Rayne.

"Jessica ata, I don't know I forgot her name." I shrugged. "Nag confess pero I was about to turn her down when opportunity presented itself to me, so I took it."

"You're like a wolf in sheep's clothing, masyadong tuso ang gago, I pray na sana makahanap ka ng katapat mo balang-araw," ayun na nga nanermon nanaman ang tatay Rafael.

Katapat sus! Walang magtatagal sa ugali kong to.

We went to Xylo after our long day, damn just what I needed.

A cup of good beer and a sight of good looking fucking chicks.

Once we entered the bar we were welcome by a stench of cigarettes and spilled beer.

The lights were blinding, flashing in all sorts of chaotic patterns.

The inside was lively, full of feral animals, by means ang mga tao dito.

Their shouts resonate with the bass of the speaker, it feels like it's vibrating through my bones. Agad kaming umupo sa pwesto namin.

"Damn, I miss this," tumango kami. The smell, the sight, everything about this place is magical.

Smack That by Akon, ang tumutugtog sa background and it's damn hot. The heat in the air makes everything feel even more intense. Some waitress comes over, with our drinks in her hands. My eyes immediately caught her curves, hapit na hapit ang kanyang damit sa kanyang katawan and I couldn't stop myself from biting my bottom lip.

Fuck, that rack was unreal.

I'll definitely smack that shit.

"Calm your dick Austine, kakapasok palang natin," Rafael jeered at me while sipping the cocktail he just ordered.

I grin, grabbing the beer from the center table before chugging it down.

"Rude." I jested. I brush my disheveled hair and loosen my tie as I lean my back against the sofa.

I licked my lips, nilibot ko ang tingin sa paligid, napangisi ako dahil marami akong nakitang naglalampungan sa tabi-tabi.

Napunta ang tingin ko kay Rayne, when he stood up, pansin kong may tinitignan sya kaya I followed his line of vision and saw that he's staring at the girl just acrossed our table. Red dress, nice rack, bunny teeth, I smirk just his type.

"Got some business," ang tanging saad nya bago lumisan.

"Babaero," natatawa ngunit naiiling na saad ni Rafael. Napatawa ako habang nginunguya ang cha-charon na inabot ko sa mesa.

"Bakit ikaw hindi?"

He scoffed, he leaned forward parting his legs and rested both of his elbows on top of his thigh, he clasped his hand together, his mocking stare never leaving mine.

"Can you think of any scenario kong saan may hinawakan akong babae?" he grinned. The corners of his lips rose, it appears to be a smirk to challenge me, but as a person who knew him basically my whole life, there's more to that damn grin of him.

I retaliate by manly rolling my eyes, tangina wala naman akong naiisip. Ni hindi ko nga nakitang humawak yan nang kahit buhok ng babae. Saaming tatlo I can totally tell that this guy is on a serious side of the world.

Dull and boring.

"Are you impotent or just gay?" I theorized. Napahawak ako sa baba ko habang patang-tango. Make sense actually.

Umasim ang mukha nya, dinampot nya ang wallet nya at binato sakin yun. Natatawa kong sinalo yun. Gago, feel ko hindi pera ang laman nitong wallet nya kundi bato, ang bigat! rich assholes.

"Buntisin kita dyan eh," biro nya na syang ikinahagalpak ko.

I cover my imaginary boobs, "No please," saad ko sa impit na boses. Humalakhak sya, kinuha nya ang bote ng beer at akmang ibabato saakin,"Hoy gago! masakit yan," naalarma ako dahil ibabato nya talaga sakin yun.

Tangina ha.

"What a pussy,"

Gago.

Nilaklak ko nalang ang natitira kong beer, damn it's hitting the spot.

"Hey boys,"

A seductive and slender hand crept in my shoulder, cascading down my chest. I threw my head back and saw a gorgeous lady standing behind me, my eyes immediately caught her plumpness that was about to spill in her bralette. I smirk and hold her hand.

"Hey gorgeous, wanna come?" I playfully utter edging with double meaning.

Mukhang na gets nya naman ang ibig kong sabihin as she bit her lips, "Sure why not."

I let go of her hand, umikot sya sa sofa, as she slowly walked towards me, I was just glancing at her, I bit my lips, damn hot. When she reaches me agad naman syang umupo sa kandungan ko. I snake my hands around her waist.

"Aren't you a gorgeous little thing?" I leaned in and whispered in her ear.

She chuckled and wrapped her arms around my neck, mas lalo syang lumapit saakin kaya damang-dama ko sya. Hot.

"Wanna go somewhere el----holy shit!!" napatili sya dahil bigla syang bumagsak sa sahig when someone forcefully grabbed my collar.

I was welcomed by his deadly stare, "Ikaw. Putanginamo sabi na nga bang pinaglalaruan mo lang si Jessie, hayop ka!!" he then punches me, kaya napaatras ako.

Jessie was it? ah. That girl.

Humalakhak ako, I click my tongue, I lick my lips only to taste my own blood. Napahawak ako sa panga ko, masakit?

I crane my neck, my lips tugging for a mocking smug smile.

"Who are you again?" I asked. The music stopped and people gathered to watch us. "Who are you to land your filthy fist on my face? Like what I've told you, you can have her if you want. Bagay naman kayo eh isang gago at isang easy to get."

His fist balled, feel ko dalawang beses naakong namatay dahil sa mga tingin nya. "Eh gago ka pala eh!!"

Susugorin nya na sana ako ng unahan ko sya. I punch his jaw causing him to tumble, humalakhak ako habang paulit-ulit syang sinasapak. Seeing them crumble beneath me is satisfying to watch, their cries of agony sounded like music to my ear.

"Just make sure not to kill him Aust, remember what I've told you about your age," hirit ni Rafael na nakaupo parin. Alam ko gago.

He continues to shield himself, but it was futile, natumba sya. I grabbed that chance to rode him. Sunod-sunod na suntok ang iginawad ko sa pagmumukha nya. I was enjoying myself when I felt a strong hand pulling me away from this guy.

"What the heck Austine?!" galit na singhal ni Rayne. Kumunot ang noo ko ng makita ang pagmumukha nyang nagpapanic kaylan pa dumating ang gagong to?I glance past his shoulder and saw Rafael panicking. Napatingin ako sa sahig, oh fuck.

He's unconscious. Puno ng dugo ang kanyang pagmumukha. Gago mukhang makakapatay pa ata ako. I laugh mentally. Oh well, what now?
