Isang ngite ang namutawi sa kanyang mga labi bago ito tuluyang hinarap. "What?" paingos niyang tanong dito. Namumula sa galit ang may kaliitan nitong mukha at halos umusok na ang ilong nito sa galit. Nakakatuwa talaga itong pagmasdan kapag nagagalit. Ngunit isang malakas na batok ang ibinigay nito sa kanya dahilan nang pagkakatayo niya sa kanyang pagkakaupo. Napatingala ito sa kanya nang tuluyan na siyang tumayo. Halos hanggang balikat niya lang ito. "Hindi ka na naman pumasok sa klase natin. Isusumbong na talaga kita kay Uncle," panenermon nito sa kanya. "Tss." 'Bakit naman siya papasok sa loob ng room nila kung wala din naman ito doon.'

Kung saan-saan ka na agad napapadpad gawain ba nang matinong estud-" Naputol ito sa pagsasalita nang hablutin niya ang maliit nitong beywang saka ito siniil ng halik. Halos ramdam niya ang paninigas nito dahil sa ginawa niya. Nang bitawan niya ang mga labi nito ay nakita niya sa mga mukha nito ang pagkagulat. "Your too noisy Eury," he huskily said and intertwined his hands with hers. "Bumalik na tayo sa klase." Hila niya rito. Eurydice Solarte is the Mafia's son obsession.

Room 1167. I was just about to knock, nakataas na yung kamay ko, my fingers hanging just inches away from the door matapos walang sumagot sa doorbell. For a second, napahinto ako. And I was about to step back, ready to leave and just report it, when suddenly— Biglang bumukas ang pinto at hindi pa man ako nakaka react nang tuliyan ay may kamay na biglang humablot sa pulso ko papasok sa loob ng kwarto. “Ah—!” Sa hindi inaasahang pangyayari, I was pulled inside. “Argh.” Mahinang halinghin ng lalaki, his arms wrapped around my body like he had no strength left to keep himself up. His head suddenly dropped onto my shoulder, the weight of it catching me completely off guard. May kakaibang amoy ang kaniyang kwarto, mabango ngunit sa katagalan ay nakakahilo, hanggang sa bigla nalang akong nakaramdam ng pagkainit sa aking katawan. “W-what are you doing…” I managed to say kahit medyo nanginginig ako ng kaunti at kinakabahan. I could feel his breathing against my skin, uneven and warm, slightly shaky. “A-ang init.” Mahina niyang bulong habang dahan dahang inaalis ang kaniyang suot na coat. “What the fuck is happening?” Bulong ko sa aking sarili at mas lalong nakaramdam ng kaba. “Put me down!” Sigaw ko matapos niya akong buhatin at biglang ibaba sa kama. For a second, everything happened too fast. Nasa ibabaw ko na siya at mukhang hindi na kayang pigilan pa ang kaniyang sarili. “Ohhh…” Mahinang ungol ko nang unti unti na niya akong halik-halikan sa aking leeg habang ang kaniyang kanang kamay ay marahang binubuksan ang butones ng uniporme ko. My hands were tightly wrapped around his neck habang pilit siyang idinidiin sa aking leeg. “Shit!” Ungol ko nang biglan niyang sipsipin ang aking dibdib habang bumababa ang kanang kamay niya sa aking pagkababae.
