Page 5 of Not My Type, Not Yet.

"Must wear complete uniform, must adhere to blablabla whatever," I closed the handbook and threw it in my bed.

I faced the mirror and brushed my hair up, nakauniform naako but then I read what's in that handbook. I grinned, I took off my blazer and polo and changed into a simple white sando and a black leather jacket.

"Pogi ko talaga," I praised myself.

If god does exist it would be me. I licked my lips; I grabbed my favorite wristwatch. It was a Rolex oyster Perpetual gifted by my grandfather. I put on some cologne and checked myself one last time in the mirror, I grabbed my bag at isinukbit iyon sa balikat ko before going out.

It's 6 in the morning, maaga talaga akong nagising because I can't wait to pester our dear school president. Speaking of, nadatnan ko syang nagluluto sa mini kitchen nitong dorm. A small smirk tugged the corner of my lips as I leaned against the kitchen wall.

Neat as always, clean hairstyle, clean clothes, and presentable aura...unlike me. Naglakad ako sa likod nya, this guy is also tall and well-built but I'm way taller and broader. Nang medjo nakalapit ako sakanya, my nostril flickers because I picked up some of his scent.

Anong klaseng amoy yun? I cock my head; that's not the issue here.

"Mornin'" I greeted but he just nodded and continued what he was doing. "Watcha doin'?"

I laugh mentally, tanga malamang nagluluto sya.

"Naglalaba,"

Napahalakhak ako dahil sa naging sagot nya. "Anong flavor ng sabon mo?"

"I don't know, tikman mo nalang, nandon sa cr." Muli akong napahalakhak dahil sa sagot nya, tangina, hindi naman ako na inform na joker pala ang isang to.

Hinayaan ko syang magluto, pinagtuonan ko ng pansin ang mga condements na ginagamit nya. Tumabi ako sakanya, akmang kukunin nya na sana ang lagayan ng asin nang kunin ko iyon at nilayo sakanya.

He boredly looked at me kaya tinaasan ko sya ng kilay habang nakangisi. Bumaba ang tingin sya sa suot ko.

"I'm pretty sure I did give you the student handbook," aniya at inabot ang asin.

Napangisi ako, nice napansin nya Mastress ka nga sakin.

Nagkibit balikat ako, "Require palang basahin yun? akala ko kasi display lang."

"It's common knowledge that you must wear your school uniform, unless you even lack that common knowledge."

Napatahimik ako, barado ah. I clear my throat, "Then Pardon my impudence as I'm a role breaker and I don't know about that," I retaliate, trying to sound smug and all.

"Make sense."

Napanguso ako, mukhang ako pa ata ang mapipikon dito ah. Para man lang makabawi hinablot ko ang spatula na hawak nya at nilagay sa loob ng cupboard. I know it sounded petty and childish but who cares?

Naupo nalang ako sa lamesa at pinagmasdan syang magluto, he moved swiftly na para bang sanay na sanay na sya sakanyang ginagawa. Pumasok ang amoy ng bacon sa ilong ko kaya napalunok ako.

Nang matapos na syang magluto agad akong tumayo at pumunta sa harap nya, "Yung akin?" I shamelessly asked.

He looked at me straight kaya nginitian ko sya.

"You are not my obligation, magluto ka ng sayo," aniya at nilagpasan ako.

Nabura naman ang ngiti sa labi ko at napalitan nang simangot, pambihira.

I stormed off at hinayaan nalang sya don. Sabi ko sya ang pipikonin ko hindi yung ako yung mapipikon, kay gandang umaga.

"Kaya pala pangit ang langit dahil pangit din tong nasa tabi ko," Si Rayne.

"Fuck off," singhal ko but the bastard just laughs, it irks me even more.

Why these bastards always appear whenever I'm in a bad mood. Siguro pinanganak ang mga hayop nato para mas lalong pasamain ang loob ko. Sarap tadyakan.

"What's the deal? bat dika naka-uniform?" Rafael asked.

"It's suffocating," I plainly answered.

We are on our way to the cafeteria, maglalaba kami don pagkatapos lalangoy kami sa gitna. Tsked, that's all the answered I got from him. Kong hindi lalangoy, maglalaba.

"Nakakainis ang Villanueva na yun," I ranted. Dapat sya ang naiinis ngayon eh.

"Let me guess pinagalitan ka dahil hindi ka naka suot ng uniform?" Rayne theorized. He brings his fingers on his chin and nodded. "Make sense, sermon ba naman ang umagahan mo."

I clicked my tongue, "I don't know what's his deal but where did he get all that courage to just ignore me," I scoff. "Me as in Austine? What the fuck."

"Kong ako yun, di rin kita papansinin bakit sino kaba? si mommy?" I feel like Rayne, just chastised my whole existence.

Napapalatak ako, "The acidity??!!!!" singhal ko sa pagmumukha nya.

"Diba 'The Audacity' yun?"

Napabaling ako kay Rafael, I raised my eyebrows. "Bakit ba? may originality ako eh, dati kabang correction tape? bakit mo ako kinokorek?"

His face crumbled. "Nakakabobo kang kausap alam mo ba yon?"

"Hindi, pero ngayon alam ko na. Salamat," I sarcastically utter at nauna nang maglakad.

Mainit na nga ang dugo ko dumagdag patong mga kumag nato. Pag-untogin ko sila eh, total dyan lang naman sila magaling.

Nang makarating sa canteen agad kaming naghanap ng mauupoan. I roamed my eyes around the cafeteria, unti palang ang tao dahil maaga pa naman, classes start at 8 am.

At may kanya-kanyang kusina ang bawat dorm kaya hindi ko gets kong ano pa ang purpose nitong cafeteria, maybe they built this for those students who are so lazy to even lift a single spatula.

Rayne ordered our food, nang dumating agad na kaming kumain. I still want that bacon though.

"I wanna go out," buntong hininga ni Rayne kaya mapalingon kami sakanya. "I miss riding my baby to school."

Rafael shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know about you but I'm enjoying here," he grinned.

"Nasstress ako dito, pag ako talaga nag kawinkle kasalanan ni Villanueva," I scoop a handful of rice, parang walang lasa pati yung tocino, I badly wanted that Bacon.

"Diba wrinkle yun?"

"Confirmed dati kang correction tape,"

"Gago."

Napailing nalang ako habang nangingiti.

When we finished eating, dumeretso na muna ako sa garden dahil masyado pang maaga. The cool breeze embraces me as soon as I arrive, napangiti ako and secretly fished out the cigarettes that I've been hiding this whole time.

I lit it up, puffed a smoke and threw my head back, this is mentally torturing me to be honest, I mean we came from different ways of life and then in a blink of an eye we were locked in this boarding school.

I know it's my fault but who could have guessed that my father would take such measure to oppress me.

"Boring," I whisper under my breath. The wind had carried it far away from here.

I saw a tree and decided to climb it to chill. I still have an hour left before my first class so why not take a nap. I position myself and close my eyes.

The bird sang as the wind caressed me to sleep. It was peaceful...quit and c---

"R-reese,"

I opened my eyes when I heard a trembling voice coming from below. I tsked inwardly and decided to look down to see what was happening. I squinted my eyes when I saw two people standing under the shade of this tree.

He stands with his head hanging low, holding a bundle of roses. My eyes twitched ang aga ha.

"Yohan, ano to?"

Napangiwi ako ng marinig ang pangalan ng lalaki, tangina kapangalan ko pa talaga ha. I mean ka second name ko pa talaga.

With a trembling hand he held out the rose in front of her, "Para sayo," he said shyly. He scratches the back of his nape, his lips stretching.

The girl sighs, shaking her head frustratingly. "May boyfriend na ako," she answered. Upon hearing her answer the boy's shoulder loosen. He met her eyes with displeasure.

I gasped, what a pity.

Bumalik ang tingin ko sa lalaki. He shook his head violently, refusing to believe what he just heard. "You're just making excuses to reject me, Reese." He pressed, he then grabbed her hand and tried to pull her closer to him.

"Ano ba! Yohan bitaw!!" she shouted as she tried to wriggle her way out from his grip.

"Reese please, pwede bang ako nalang? I promise to treat you better than any man can, just please choose me," he begged with his trembling voice. His voice sounded desperate and hurt.

She pulled herself away from him, "Tigilan mo naako ano ba! may boyfriend na ako wag kang masyadong desperado," with a knitted brow, she shouted angrily as she massage her wrist.

He lowers his head, his chest heaving heavily. "Reese, you can't do this to me, you have to choose me," he utters insanely. My brows met; I wriggle to make myself comfortable, the tree branch is making my back ache.

"I can! stop this act Yohan, you look dumb," malamig nitong saad, it was laced with such disgust na pati ako ay napangiwi.

Rude, I like it.

She was about to leave when Yohan forcefully grabbed her wrist and started hovering her. He forces himself on her, making the girl scream in panic. Disgusting.

"Fuck! Yohan, let go, are you out of your mind?! Help!!" She struggles.

"If I can't have you then no one should Reese, kasalanan mo to why are you so nice to me? I know that you like me pakipot kalang."

He then grabbed her blazer and was about to take it off when I jumped out of the tree and landed beside them.

Once I landed I steady myself, I lazily brought my eyes to look at him. He seemed surprised at first but then he became aggressive.

I chortle and raise both of my arms, "Easy there tiger." A grin tugged the corner of my lips.

"Puta sino ka?!" he roared.

My lips turned upside down, I shrugged my shoulders, "Her boyfriend." I answered, it was bad enough that he got rejected tas dumagdag paako. I sneer, fancy.

The word boyfriend made him even more furious, he let go of the girl and was fuming as he approached me. I eyed the girl and signal her to run away, she seemed hesitant at first but eventually left.

"You!" duro nya saakin.

"Me?" I mocked. His fist balled, he gritted his teeth and eyed me with such jealousy and contempt.

"Ikaw! kasalanan mo ang lahat ng to, she should have been mine, but you snatch her! Die you bastard," he threw his fist in my direction in which I only dodge.

I let out a loud and mocking laugh as I dodge each one of his attacks. How come there's still people who become irrational when feeling jealous and rejected by those people they like.

I think I angry him even more, pulang-pula ang pagmumukha nya habang nagsisilitawan ang kanyang ugat sa leeg.

"Why? Are you mad at me?" I teased, hands in my pocket. The same mocking grin is still dancing on my lips.

"Puta ka, bat di ka nalang kaya mamatay?" he's voice is loud and rough, edging with so much hatred.

I chuckle mentally, damn kakapasok ko lang dito may kaaway na agad ako.

"Rotten people like you should go first. Forcing someone who's clearly not into you is pathetic, you look dumb and desperate to be honest. "I provoke him, his eyes became bloodshot... not because he was about to cry but because he wanted to unalive me.

I kept on backing up, still dodging his attacks.

"That's all you got? throwing punches like a little boy?" I added fuel to his fire, making him burst into flames and debris.

He's beyond mad.

"I'll kill you, you bastard," madiin nyang saad and pounch on me. It caught me off guard and his fist landed on my jaw.

I stumbled, kamuntikan naakong matumba kaya humalakhak ako, I held my jaw, lick my lips only to taste the metallic taste of blood. I spit it out, he grew cocky just because he hit me once.

"See that? I could easily kill you, you motherfucker," mayabang nyang saad. Disgusting.

Without saying a word, my heavy fist landed directly on his jaw, and he met the garden floor with a loud thud.

"And so do I," I utter, looking down at him.

"Puta ka!"

This compliment again?

He got up, akala ko aambahan nya muli ako ng suntok but no, he grabbed a stone right beside him and threw it at me, I was a bit slow to react dahil ang lapit nya causing it to hit my forehead.

My eyes twitched, I thought my ear rang for a moment, gago yun ah. My pulse beats profoundly as an electric of pain seers through my system. Kinapa ko ang noo ko, may nakapa akong malagkit at mainit na bagay kaya I curse under my breath. Dumugo ang noo ko.

Seeing me bleeds he laughs, "Yan, yan ang bagay sayong putanginamo----"

I look at him coldly, arrogant bastard. Before he could even recover from his laughter I attack him. I punch him continuously, nahihirapan syang sanggain ang lahat nang suntok na iginagawad ko sakanya kaya tumatama ito sa iba't-ibang parte ng kanyang katawan.

"Oh my gosh!!!!!"

As his body hit the floor again, a loud scream erupted in the air. I cock my head only to see a girl standing by the entrance, eyes widening in terror as she covers her mouth. I guess may pumupunta din dito tuwing umaga. Her scream attracted passersby.

I sigh in exasperation, naglakad ako papuntang ilalim ng puno, isinalpak ko ang sarili ko sa ugat nito and rested my back. I'm getting bored. Dealing with obsessive crazy guys is exhausted. I closed my eyes, wala na sira na ang araw ko.

I heard him move but I did not dare open my eyes to check what he was doing, I just let the breeze embrace me.

"Hoy!! ibaba mo yan!!!"

"Puta! call Knox, bilis!!!!"

"Open your eyes!!!"

A panic scream reached my ears; I slightly opened my eyes only to see him holding a rock...practically a boulder. Instead of panicking, I looked at him smugly, I bent my knees and rested my elbows on top of it as I leaned my back to give him a boyish and mocking grin.

"Is that how you fight Mr. Lover boy?" my voice was laced with clear mockery.

"Papatayin kita," he strongly declares.

Pang-ilang beses ko na nga ba to narinig? nakakainis na ha.

"Just because a girl rejected you nagkakaganyan kana? even forcing yourself to her? threatening and harassing her? if you truly love her then let her go, hindi yung nagpupumilit ka. Mukhang tanga ka talaga kanina alam mo ba yon?" ani ko.

I think I provoked him again, he raised the rock and was about to throw it at me, when an authoritative, cold and airy voice rang through our ears.

"What do you think you're doing?"

I looked past his waist and saw Knox, standing. A wry smile escapes my lips, my prince charming is saving his princess who is in distress. I chuckle, what a joke.

"P-pres," he nervously utter, he dropped the stone he was holding at pinagpagan ang uniform nyang nalukot. "I-It's not what you think," kinakabahan nyang saad.

Nakita ko ring nakasunod ang iba pang officer's kay Knox, kaya mas lalong dumami ang estudyante dito sa garden.

Knox did not utter another word and pierce his gaze to see me. Our eyes locked and I just shrugged my shoulders, nonchalant of what was happening. He started walking towards me, nilagpasan nya ang nagpapanic na Yohan.

When he reached my spot, he crouched down.

"You're bleeding," he said.

"I'm aware," I answered.

He sighs, he fishes out his handkerchief in his pocket and directs it to my bleeding forehead.

"Second day and already causing trouble, aren't we?"

I purse my lips at tinuro ang sugat ko sa noo, "Injure yung tao oh, maya mo na ako sermonan," angal ko but he just looked at me coldly.

Tumayo na sya at tinalikuran ako, "Bring him to the disciplinary office, we'll have to investigate what happened here." He commands his subordinate.

Hearing what Knox had said Yohan's hand trembled and he turned pale. I guess the disciplinary office or whatever is a big deal here.

Nagsimula na syang maglakad papalayo kaya nagkasalubong ang kilay ko.

"Ah hello! injured po ang tao oh! paki-alalayan naman po sana," pangunguha ko sa attention nya.

He stopped in his tracks and looked back at me kaya malapad ko syang nginitian.

"Kaya mo na ang sarili mo."

Bastos!!
