Chapter 23. Viennathalia

Aeon's POV

"Any news about the whereabouts of your friend?" tanong ni Dark sakin habang kumakain kami sa may cafeteria. It's already lunchtime.

"I got his location and he's just near the school" sagot ko sakanya. Nang natrack ko kung nasan si T kagabi, nagtataka ako sa lokasyon niya. Malapit lang siya dito sa labas ng bakuran ng eskwelahan.

"So, are you considering my suggestion that maybe this is a trap?" tanong niya pa.

"I already know that it is a trap but I just can't leave him behind and something is definitely off about his disappearnce" sagot ko sakanya saka sumubo ng pagkain.

"How about our investigation with the case of Holy?" ako naman ang nagtanong sakanya.

"The school investigated her for a week but Thalia said they didn't find anything. I don't know what's going on anymore" sagot niya sa akin.

"Hi" nagulat nalang kami ni Dark ng may magsalita sa likuran naming dalawa. Nang lumingon kami ay nakita namin si Holy. Speaking of the devil.

"Hi" nakangiting bati ni Dark sakanya habang ako ay nanatiling walang emosyon ang mukha.

"How are you guys?" tanong niya sa aming dalawa ni Dark.

"We're fine" si Dark ang sumagot. "Ikaw? Kamusta ang kaso mo?" I can't help but smirk by the way Dark asked. She's like, implying that she's really the suspect.

"Kaso?" nakakunot noong tanong naman ng isa.

"About the guy who was killed in front of your eyes?" I want to laugh so damn hard by the way Dark talks about it.

"I think it's rude for you to accuse someone without an evidence" narinig naming sabi ng isang tinig. Nang tingnan namin ito ay nakita namin si Thalia na nakatayo hindi kalayuan sa mesa namin.

"Oh, we're not accusing her," Dark said while smiling innocently and at the same time waving her hand up and down like Thalia said something wrong.

"We're not actually accusing her. I already told you, didn't I? That anybody can be the suspect" diretso kong sabi kay Thalia habang nakatitig sa kanyang mga mata.

"Did I do anything for you to doubt me?" nakasimangot na tanong ni Holy sa amin.

"Oh no. You didn't do anything at all" sagot naman ni Dark.

"Quit the sarcasm Dark" naiinis na sabi naman ni Thalia. I glance at Holy and I saw her smirk when the two argue.

"Then stop acting stupid and naive" ako ang sumagot kay Thalia habang nakatingin ng matiim sakanya.

"And stop acting good and innocent" sabi ko tsaka binalingan si Holy ng tingin.

"Let's go" sabi ko kay Dark saka ako tumayo at naglakad pabalik ng classroom.

"Did you see that?" tanong ko sakanya na ang tinutukoy ay ang pagngisi ni Holy kanina.

"Yeah. I really want to smash her face earlier if it's not for Thalia" naiinis na sagot niya.

"Thalia trusts her too much" I stated.

"Yeah, and that's definitely not a good thing" sagot naman niya. Ilang minuto pa kaming naglakad hanggang sa makabalik kami sa classroom.

Nagpatuloy ang klase namin hanggang hapon at nang matapos ito ay napagdesisyonan kong pumunta ng library.

"Library again?" tanong ni Dark ng makatayo ako.

"Yeah. It's more peaceful there" sagot ko sakanya.
