Zay's POV

Six in the morning and I'm all ready.
I just wore our uniform that is white longsleeve—na hindi pa nakabutones ang parteng ibabaw—and a necktie—na maluwag pa ang pagkakatali—and also a dark blue skirt with white knee socks and shining black school sandals. Binitbit ko muna ang dark blue blazer ko dahil alam kong maiinitan ako mamaya.
Nagsuot na rin ako ng black contact lens to hide the real color of my eyes.
I put my hair into a messy bun and pick up my phone saka lumabas na at sumakay sa kotse. Magpapahatid lang ako kay Butler Clein malapit sa school.
I planned to be a nobody in my school so that magpapaka-low profile ako from now on.

This was my first time to study in a school. I was a home schooler—just for my safety because I was prone to danger—so that's it pero hindi ibig sabihin na wala na akong alam sa paaralang 'to. I know everything about it because it's my school.

Enough of that. Pinahinto ko na ang kotse malapit sa Université Suprême (Supreme University).

"I'll just call you if you're going to pick me up, Butler Clein." malamig kong sabi sa kanya saka siya pinaalis kaya naglakad na ako papuntang gate. I just hang my bag on my right shoulder habang bitbit parin ang blazer ko na nakasampay sa kaliwang braso ko. Hinayaan ko nalang munang naka open ang pang-itaas na butones ng uniform ko at maluwag ang pagkakatali ng necktie ko. Aayusin ko nalang iyan mamaya sa room kapag may aircon na. Mainit eh.
It took five minutes for me to be in front of the main gate.

I just sighed. I will just act normally like the other students here so that no one will notice me.
It's just seven in the morning at seven-thirty pa ang klase ko.
Pumunta muna ako sa Dean's Office para kunin ang room number ko saka schedule.

Bumungad sa akin ang seryosong mukha ng Dean na agad na napalitan ng malapad na ngiti nung makita ako. I just tsked then sat at the chair in front of her then rested my head on its headboard before I closed my eyes.

"Welcome back, Queen."
Minulat ko ang mga mata ko saka tumingin sa kanya na nakangisi.

"My room number and schedule." diretsong sabi ko sa kanya na ikinatawa niya.

"Still the same, my dear niece." nakangiti pero naiiling niyang sabi.
Tsk! Well, yeah. She's my Tita. The wife of my uncle who's hiding and also my mission.

"Here. Your schedule and your room number." sabi niya sabay bigay sa akin. "By the way, all about you is safe. Just be careful, Zay. We can't be complacent because we knew how shrewd and cunning the Sàlváderàx is."

"And so I am." sabi ko na ikinangiti niya. "I gotta go now."

Tumango nalang siya saka ako tumayo at lumabas.

Room 11-A.
Tsk.
Hindi nagtagal ay nahanap ko naman agad iyon. I just knocked three times before someone opened it.

"Cool~" said the guy who opened the door that is still checking the whole me.

"Done checking me out?" I said with my cold voice that made him shiver.

I just tsked then stepped inside the room and went to the last chair at the end of the last row which is near the window.

I didn't waste any time on the people around and just lean on the wall then closed my eyes.

"Who's that girl?"

"Is she a newbie?"

"So cool!"

"Ugh! Another target victim for sure."
