Chapter 2

Dark's POV

I woke up with a smile on my face. Unang araw namin ngayon sa Morphil High kung kaya't nagbihis ako ng maganda at pinagterno ang bago kong cropped top at high waisted shorts.

Nag rubber shoes lang din ako at nakalugay ang buhok, leaving my face with a little bit of makeup. Even my tattoo was tended by me. I covered it with a concealer, wishing that anyone wouldn’t be able to notice. 

It's the face of a girl with a half mask on its face – showing only its red lips, fangs, and the gun she's holding in her right hand. A mark I had made when I entered the Gangster Society as Black Vampire.

Nang matapos akong mag-handa ay agad na din akong umalis, knowing na nasa baba na si Rage and he always fetch me during the whole duration of our friendship.

I smiled sweetly at him. Hinila nya ako palabas at agad na hinalikan.

"Good Morning babe, you look stunning today."

"Don't state the obvious, Rage." I jokingly replied.

"Humangin naman bigla."

I chuckled.

"Anyway, nasaan na ang mga parents mo?"  Nagtataka ng tanong nya. Ngumiti ako ng malaki.

"Apparently, they will need to stay in South Korea for some time, maybe even a year. Balita ko, may inaasikaso silang mahalaga doon tungkol sa business namin."

"Seriously, why are you so lucky, Dark?"

"Hindi ako swerte, malas ka lang talaga." tumatawang sagot ko. He just smiled at me as a response at bahagya akong pinagbuksan ng pinto.

As expected, naging tahimik lang ang byahe namin patungong Morphil High. Dorm school ang papasukan namin kaya may dala dala kaming mga maleta, dahil din siguro aalis sina mom at dad kaya nila ako ipinasok dito.

Well, according naman sa student handbook, pwede naman daw lumabas ng school every saturday and sunday. Not bad, right? Kaso panigurado, Si Rage at mga kaibigan ko lang din ang kasama ko tuwing sabado at linggo. What can I do? That's the normal cycle of my life. It's just how it is.

Nang makarating, ay nagpark na agad si Rage sa isang tabi at inalalayan akong bumaba. The campus was fast filled with whispers. Napailing ako nang mapansing wala pa man kami sa loob ay pi-nagbubulungan na agad siya ng mga babae at binabae sa paligid.

I saw him lose his smile. I know him, he never really liked the attention. Unless it’s me or the girl he’s interested in that pays attention to him, he doesn’t like standing out. 

"Want me to help you?"  I asked, grinning.

"How?" Kunot noong tanong niya. I didn't answer. Instead, I left him shocked and pulled his collar towards me while I gave him a kiss and let his hands wrapped around my waist. Bumitiw ako sa kanya at ngumisi.

"That's the best help I've ever received." he replied, chuckling.

I laughed. If only I'm built a little bit different, maybe I would even end up liking him.

"Well, It's effective, right? They finally shut up." I paused.

"We better go now though. Baka malate pa tayo, maghahanap pa din ako ng mga bagong crushes no!"

Rage laughed. "Yeah, yeah. Sure babe."

*****

Hindi din nagtagal ay nakarating na kami sa loob ng room namin. Our blockmates immediately fell in silence, pagkatapos ay sabay sabay na nag bulungan. As expected.

Napangiti ako. Maybe I'll have a better year this time. Good thing Rage & I take the same course. At least hindi ako ma-hihiwalay sa kanya.

Wala pa naman ang professor namin pagdating namin, so it's best to say na pwede pa kami mag observe and chill. Besides, I am still very weirded out by the fact that every one of them stopped what they were doing when they saw the both of us. Akala mo naman talaga Grand Entrance. Tss.

Tinaasan ko ng kilay ang mga babaeng nahuli kong nakatitig kay Rage, It was then the time that all of them automatically knew that he isn't available.

Kalaunan ay nilibot ko ang paningin sa paligid, curving a smile into my lips as I saw hot men staring at the very own direction of mine. Target Detected.

Kakaway pa sana ako pero hinila na agad ako bigla ni Rage papunta sa likod nya kaya nasira ang plano ko. I frowned.

Seriously? Kaya ko namang maglakad mag isa.

Nasa 4th row na kami at ramdam ko pa rin ang tingin ng iba. Ganun ba talaga kami ka-ganda at ka-gwapo para sundan ng tingin kahit saan pumunta? The looks on their faces are really annoying! Nevertheless, they really are not worth  of my time kung kaya't hindi ko na lamang sila pinansin at pinaglaruan na lamang ang kamay ni Rage. Sya pa tuloy ang pinag diskitahan ko ngayon.

I traced every tip of his fingers before intertwining his' with mine. Umurong siya papalapit sakin.

"Don't make me want to kiss you now babe, I might put my guards down." He huskily whispered while kinda nibbling my ear.

Medyo napa-tikhim ako dahil sa ginawa nya. Tinitigan ko sya ng matiim.

"That can wait, Rage. The teacher will arrive five minutes from now, it’s nearly time."

He nodded and sighed. Pagkatapos ay ibinalik ang atensyon sa bintana. He's obviously longing for his dream girl.

Ngumiti ako sa kanya. "You missed her right?"

"Yeah, I do." Nakapikit nyang sagot.

I chuckled.

"Don't worry, we'll go see her this coming Saturday. Makikipagkita din naman ako kay Axel, I miss him already."

Pagpapagaan ko sa loob nya.

He excitedly looked at me. A glimpse of his happiness was immediately obvious.

"Really? Nasabi ko na ba sayong dabest kang bestfriend?! I can't wait to see her!" He replied with glee. I laughed.

"Wag kang masyadong magsaya Rage, We're still not sure if she'll let you hang out with her this time."

His smile dropped.

"Wow, panandaliang kaligayahan." Napa-halakhak ako dahil sa sinabi nya. He’s kinda cute. 

Bumuntong hininga na lang ako at nilagay ang magkahawak naming kamay sa ilalim ng lamesa. I really don’t want to let his hands go, maraming naghahabol sa kanya. I want Drea for him, at ngayong wala si Drea, I believe that I should at least guard him from other girls.

Besides, alam ni Drea na fling ko sya pero hindi naman sya nagagalit, I guess it’s because there’s little to none feelings yet pero maybe I'll let go of Rage when Drea is already his girlfriend and when it's finally time. Kahit ganito ako, ayaw ko namang maging kabit no. Ibang usapan na yun. I'm always making sure that I will not fall for a man's trap but they'll fall on mine instead.

Dumating na ang guro namin at tinawag kaming dalawa upang magpakilala.

Rage was called first. Nagsi-tilian lahat ng babae kaya agad akong napa-simangot.

Rage's heart is only for her and I should leave it at that. Kampante naman kasi ako na hindi sya mahuhulog sa akin at hindi rin ako magkaka gusto sa kanya.

"Hi Blockmates! I am Rage Crain Brandon, but you can call me Rage.  I'm a new student and do look forward to meeting you all, however, I don’t accept unsolicited attention. Please stop staring at me or else, that girl sitting beside my seat will get jealous.'' Nakangising pagpapakilala nya sa harapan. My eyes automatically rolled. Seriously? That's his best shot?

Sinamaan ko na lang sya ng tingin. Rage laughed in response, pagkatapos ay umalis na din sa harap while I'm just sitting here, suffering from the glare of his fast admirers.

Sunod akong tinawag, pero bago pa man ako makapag- pakilala ay may pumasok ng limang lalaki sa harap ng pintuan. Automatically, all the girls in our room screamed their name. Napangiwi ako.

"OMG!!!! DRAZZ MARRY ME!"

"GRAZE, I LOVE YOU!"

"ANDREW! ANAKAN MO AKO!"

"BABY KYLE, UMUWI KA NA HINDI NA AKO GALIT!"

"EMEGED, ANG HOT MO DRAKE!"

Samu't saring sigaw ang naririnig sa paligid. I'm guessing that this are the cliche group of popular boys na kinababaliwan ng lahat sa bawat school. Every university has them, so it's not that new.

Pinagmasdan ko silang lahat. Tahimik lang ang iba sa kanila pero ang tinatawag na naman ng mga kaklase kong "Drazz" ay kumikindat at kumakaway sa lahat ng mga babae sa aming klase.

He's a playboy. I just know from the first look. He's hot, pwede na. But not interesting enough. 

Ibabalik ko na sana ang paningin sa harapan when I caught the very own lad smirking and winking at me. I decided to reciprocate his moves. I basically just flirted back at him. Napangiti ako. You're not the only player here, Drazz.

Hindi din nagtagal ay pinatahimik na ng guro ang lahat ng maingay sa klase bago tuluyang sumenyas sa akin na magpakilala.

I heaved a sigh as I faced the majority of our class.

"Goodmorning, Blockmates. My name is Dark Phyra Serenity Blaire, Dark for short and a transferee student. For those who already have a problem with me or will have a problem with me in the future because of that lad over there," Tinuro ko si Rage.

"Please do remember that unlike him, I am not friendly and if you want a brawl, then I'm up for a fair one. Nice meeting all of you." Pagpapakilala ko. 

As expected, Rage was already laughing while the girls that I pertained to were already fuming in anger. They obviously want him, too bad I won't let them.

Ngumisi ako kay Rage at kinindatan sya. Natawa lang din sya sakin at hinintay akong makaupo pabalik sa upuan. That was also the time when I recognized who was seating in the other vacant chairs beside mine. It was Drazz and yes, his gang na napaka obvious ng group tattoo. Not an issue though, may gang din naman kami ni Rage. I actually feel like ours is much better.

We are basically called the Bloodsuckers and consist of four male members and one woman which is me. I didn’t like including women because they all ended up falling in love with the other four and it caused problems within the group. I want everything to be just minimal and with these boys, I believe that it's possible.

Brief introduction. My first member is Andrei Margock, Second is Dryle Medina then the third one is Kray Silinda.

Yeah right, I know they all have weird names. Mga weirdo naman din kasi talaga.

Currently, Sa ibang school pa sila nag aaral pero mukhang next week ay makakalipat na rin sila dito. Good News, isn’t it? Mas masaya pa rin kasi talaga sa tuwing kompleto kami. I grinned because of the thought.

Nagkunwari nalang din akong nakikinig sa professor namin na dada ng dada. Not until someone decided to bother my thoughts and poked my arms.

Napasimangot ako agad nang makita ang nakangiting si Drazz sakin.

"You're Dark right?" He asked.

Tumaas ang kilay ko.

"Don't make me repeat what I already said." I hissed.

"Chill, why are you so grumpy? I was just asking." He answered.

Umirap ako. "Ano bang pake mo? And will you stop talking to me?" Istorbo.

"Whatever you say, Missy. I'll decide whether I'll talk to you or not. So instead of lashing out on me, why don't we just get to know each other?" He stopped midway. "My name is Drazz Craige Phoenix, would you like to eat with me?" Pagpapatuloy nya.

I frowned.

Tsk. Seriously? I never imagined na sa unang araw ko ay makaka-halubilo na agad ako ng kauri ko.

"I'm with Rage, I can't leave him alone." Pag-tanggi ko.

"Tsh. Boyfriend mo ba yan?" He asked nonchalantly.

"It's none of your business."

Nakasimangot na sagot ko sa kanya.

Nang matapos ang morning class namin ay agad akong hinila ni Rage papunta sa likod ng building namin. He pinned me into the wall and kissed me with his tongue playing with mine.

I automatically wrapped my arms around his neck because of the good sensation his kisses bring. Five minutes into making out with each other and he already had his hands inserted inside my shirt while caressing my back up to my side boob.

Ipagpapatuloy pa sana namin ang ginagawa namin nang may marining na pumalakpak, hindi malayo sa pwesto naming dalawa.

I automatically pulled back at tumingin sa pangahas na nang-istorbo samin.

"Making out with your boyfriend huh?" This Drazz guy suddenly exclaimed. My forehead creased.

"And how exactly is that your business? Bakit ba ng i-istorbo ka pa? You should have just let us be." Ungos ko.

He smirked. "Why would I? I'm enjoying your show."

I glared at him. "Is that your kink? Because I'm telling you, kung gusto mong manood ng porn, don't make us your live show cause you will never have the privilege to see me in that way. Asa ka."  Was the last thing that I said before eventually leaving him behind as I walked away together with Rage.

XOXO
