Chapter 4

Nang mag alas tres na ay nagdesisyon na akong bumaba bitbit ang bag ko at suot ang aking uniporme.

Pagbaba ko ay nadatnan ko si Mrs. Fleur na naghahanda ng meryenda, tumigil siya ng makita ako.

"Matthew, iho? Aalis kana?" gulat na tanong niya,

"Opo, I need to go home now or else, my dad will kill me,"

"Naku, hapon na ah? Magpalipas ka nalang ng gabi rito, baka mapano kapa sa daan,"

"Hindi na po, masyado na po akong nakakaabala pakisabi nalang po kay Mom na umuwi na po ako, hindi na niya kaylangan pang mag-aalala tungkol sa pagpunta ko rito,"

Kita ko ang pagdaan ng lungkot at gulat sa mata niya.

"Sige po, mauna na ako,"

Hindi ko na hinintay ang sasabihin niya at tumalikod na ako patungo sa labas.

Because of what my mom told me, I decided to go home. Since I have nowhere else to go and that I can't be with my mom.

I guess I was just expecting something but to think that things will turn out this way is really painful.

Haah. But going home is pain to think that I'll get a beating to that assh*le Michaelis is really a pain.

Nagtungo ako sa bus stop na papuntang S**** City.

Pagdating ng bus ay agad akong sumakay at naupo sa pinakadulong upuan.

'I guess I'll just see you again, mom...'

Michaelis's POV

Nabalitaan kong hindi umuwi si Matthew sa kanila, that troublesome punk! He's really an idiot.

Maaga akong nagising kaya't naligo at nagbihis na ako ng uniporme pagkatapos ay dumaan pa ako sa mansion ng mga Hidalgo.

"Yow, Sid!" bati ko sa butler ng ka edaran ko lang,

"Uy tol, ikaw pala!"

Tinanguan ko siya at nagtungo sa office ni ninong upang magreport.

Kumatok pa muna ako bago makarinig ng pahintulot na makapasok.

"Goodmorning ninong,"

"Ah ikaw pala Michael, magandnag umaga," bati ni ninong habang tutok sa paperworks.

"Tumawag kagabi sina Shun at Kiba, wala raw sa buong S**** City si Matthew," ani ko,

"That child, now where did he ran off to?"

Right, I've been thinking about it for years. That punk seems desperate for running away to the point that he's been taking my beatings is nothing to him.

He must have his reasons, aren't he? He must have something to do that's why his running away even if he gets hurt.

"I think he has a reason for running away?"

"Huh? Why have you come up with such thoughts?"

"Just because? I just feel that he's been up to something."

Yeah, he's been up to something that's why. He's not in the whole S**** City, and we don't know what's going on in that kid's mind.

"Hmnn, now that you've told that, I think I have an Idea where'd he run off to,"

Kalmadong ani ninong, kanina lang galit siya ah? Hays.

"Then, I'll head to school now,"

Tumalikod na ako at lumabas ng office niya. Well, I don't want to get involved to that troublesome punk with his father anymore.

.  .  .  .  .

Pagdating ko sa campus ay nagkalat na naman ang mga nagchichismisang estudyante.

Too many students this day, anong meron? Bakit sobrang dami ata ng nagkalat ngayon.

"Oi, get out of my way!" sigaw ko at nagsitabihan ang mga kababaihan.

Huh? Isn't that Matthew? Woah! Himala at bumalik siya?

"Oi Matthew!" sigaw ko at lumapit para batukan siya.

"What?" iritadong aniya at nilingon ako

"Woah, what's with the bad temper," biro ko dahil iba ang temper niya kumpara sa dati.

"Tsk,"

Rinig kong usal niya at dinaanan ako, what the? What's with that attitude?

"Oi! Where did you go yesterday?"

Sinundan ko siya at tinignan niya ako ng masama at hindi ako sinagot. I feel annoyed when he's sulking like that.

"Your dad is very mad," dagdag ko pa tumigil siya sa paglalakad,

What?

"That's why I'm here."

Huh? What? What does he mean that's why he's here? I don't get it.

"Eh?" tanong ko,

"Now will you leave me alone, you're annoying."

This punk!!! Me? Annoying? HAH! A handsome guy like me annoying? Huh!?!

Sinundan ko pa siya at natigil ng makita kong pumasok na sa classroom nila, hays, I guess I'll just go to my class too.

Matthew's POV

That assh*le is really annoying as ever, and I don't know why he's been following me.

Dali-dali akong pumasok ng classroom para lamang lubayan niya ako.

Pagpasok ko ng classroom nakatingin sa akin ang lahat lalo na si Mrs. Smith. Now what?

"My, my, my, Mr. Hidalgo... You're late again, aren't you, hmn?"

Hindi ko siya sinagot at naglakad na ako patungo sa upuan ko, at nagsimula na namang magbulungan ang lahat.

'How rude!'

'Is that how Mr. Hidalgo raised his son?'

'What do you expect for? I think he didn't raised him well because he's just an illegitimate child, he's just a wait of time'

"If all you're gonna ever do is talk about me and my life, why don't you just go out instead of studying. You guys are annoying,"

"Nakakapagod na 'yang mga bunganga niyo, paulit-ulit nalang 'yang mga sinasabi niyo, haha, don't be too confident in provoking me just because you know a bit of my life." dagdag ko pa bago tignan sila isa-isa.

'Omg!'

'He's crazy,'

"I know everything about you guys better than myself, so just shut up, and do nothing."

Mahabang katahimikan ang nanaig at nagsimula na ang klase. And I was just listening to her discussions even though it's boring.

Tumingin ako sa labas, at pinanood ang mga estudyanteng nasa labas na nakatambay. How I wish I can go outside too.

"Oi, Kiba! Saan ka pupunta? Let's go and have lunch!"

Huh? Isn't that Michaelis? He really is shameless to shout in front our classroom while someone is having a class.

I flinch when he suddenly turned his gaze on me and then he smirked at me, bast*rd!
