-chapter thirty-four-
"I might not be the best front attacker but I'll always watch your back. Always, Serena."
Isang blankong tingin ang naisagot ko sa sinabi ni Keian.
"You're weird." sagot ko. "I can take care of myself."
Mahina lang siyang tumawa sa sinabi ko. I frowned. This one is really a piece of work. Maliban sa wirdo na, ang hirap pang intindihin. Inihagis ko papunta sa kaniya ang dice at mabilis niya itong nasalo.
"Your turn." tugon ko't muling tumingin-tingin sa paligid.
Naging mabilis ang paglalakad ko nang makita ang pag-usbong ng rails. Baka malapit na ang exit o entrance!
"Serena." tawag ni Keian kaya sandali ko siyang nilingon. He showed the dice to me. "Seven."
I blinked. Is it just me or has seven been haunting me these past few days? Or is it just the twins that are so fixated with the number?
"Seven what?" hinayaan ko siyang mag-isip muna. "Bilisan mo. We're probably nearing the opening, the rails are starting to show up."
Tumango siya at binilisan nga ang lakad pero halata namang nasa ibang dimensiyon ang utak niya. I just let him be. Siguro tatanungin niya lang ako kung ano ang pitong gusto kong pagkain o tv shows-
"Who are the seven people you're watching for in this academy? Or better yet, the seven people who caught your interest?"
Natigilan ako sa tinanong niya. I faced him with a frown on my face.
"What?"
"Seven people you're interested in or is watching out in this academy." ulit niya.
I studied Keian's face, trying to see if he was only kidding or not. But the seriousness in his eyes and the slight anxiety that he's emitting is enough to confirm that he really want to ask this question. With his desire is also the fear for the answer.
Napabuntong-hininga ako. Ano ba klaseng tanong 'yan? He could have asked about Anathema or it's secrets but he's going for my personal information and interests.
So he wants to know me more personally and not to get information? But how can I confirm that assumption when people can change skins better than snakes.
Isa pa, ang pangunahing problema ko ay kung ano ang isasagot ko. Interested in? Am I even interested in people here without any ulterior motives. Watching out... that I can probably answer.
"Well, of course, the very person I'm watching out for is my partner." nanlaki ang mata niya sa sinagot ko. I shrugged. "I mean, he's with me all the time. It's only natural I'm keeping an eye on him. The dog can also be quite amusing."
