Am I Cursed?

Cursed 19

"Don't you ever get cold?" Maver asked Ayrille as he looked at her from head to toe. 

"Yes, I do, but this shirt is so cute I just wanna wear it at least once." she answered and smiled sweetly. She's wearing a white long sleeve sweater croptop and black leggings paired with ankle boots. Maaga pa kasi masyado ngayon kaya nilalamig kami lahat, naka jacket tas hoodie kami halos at si Ayrille lang ang naka shorts.

"And you decided to wear it today of all times?" taas kilay na tanong ni Pyro habang naka halukipkip. Ayrille just pouted and tried to pull her shirt down to cover her skin.

Nasa faculty office kami ngayon kasama ang buong elysians, nasa kabilang conference room pa ang mga teachers dahil nag meeting muna sila bago namin simulan ang araw na 'to. Today's the first day of our camping by the way, we're leaving right after some mini briefing.

Nakaupo kaming lahat sa isang pabilog na sofa sa isang malaking sala, kasama ko sa iisang sofa si Avid at Alaina. I was playing with the white furred fox Avid made and let it lay on my lap. She said it was the only decent thing her mind could come up with. It was beautiful, and she made it just for me.

"Don't worry Ayrille, you look good with it. But if you're really cold, then you should change." sabi ni Alaina sabay tingin ng masama sa dalawa. Sa tingin ko naman sinasabi lang nila 'yon dahil nagaalala sila kay Ayrille.

"What's it called?" tanong ko habang hinihimas yung ulo nong puting soro.

"Arctic fox, it doesn't have a name yet." simpleng sagot ni Avid sabay ngiti ng tipid. "Can I name it?" tanong ko, tumango naman siya bilang sagot. "Shiro, his name is Shiro." I answered, tumango lang rin siya at ngumiti.

I actually still don't know what to feel about this training camp right after what happened yesterday. I couldn't sleep, I spent my whole night searching and reading about her, but nothing really helped me. I've read some stories and theories about her reign, but it only added up to my questions.

And I wouldn't wanna miss the chance of enhancing my ability more, just because a dead person showed up on me. At hindi ko rin alam kung anong idadahilan ko sakanila kung sabihin ko mang ayaw kong sumama. I'll be selfish, and pretty insensitive if I won't come.

"Good morning, everyone. Handa na ba kayong lahat?" Sir Herman's voice echoed inside the small room. Agad kaming nagtayuan para magbigay galang. "Yes sir, I couldn't even sleep last night." komento ni Pin sabay ngisi ng malapad. Napangiti rin kaming lahat dahil sa sinabi niya.

"Well, I'm glad to hear that mister Javier. Because this week will surely be the most memorable week of your lives." sir Herman said. He just gave us some typical reminders for the trip, during and after. I was listening to them talking about our do's and dont's, but was completely distracted when I felt a warm hand rubbing my neck.

My eyes went from sir Herman to him, he was looking down with both of his hands inside his pocket. I stared at him for a whole hot minute, waiting for him to stare back. When he did, he was already trying to stifle a smirk. I rolled my eyes and ignored his fingers stroking my hair.
