Chapter 16
Al
"SHE'S scary."
"Yeah, feeling ko tama yung huling sinigaw ni Lilia na monster sya."
"Ano kayang pangalan ng transferee na iyon?"
"Wag mo na alamin sis. Mamaya pang monster din ang pangalan nya. Himatayin kapa sa takot."
"Hindi ako kasing hina ni Lilia."
"Talaga lang ha?"
"Mapapalitan nya na sa pwesto ang Re--" The student stopped talking when she saw me staring at her. She's nervous of course. Ang kausap nya ay tumakbo na.
"Who are you talking about?"
"A-annaliese." Namumutla nyang saad sa pangalan ko.
"Why you're not answering my question?" Malambing kong tanong sa kanila.
"I-it's just t-there's a t-transferee. A g-girl. S-she's so s-strong l-like a-a s-sovr-ran."
I smirked. I roughtly hold her jaw.
"How dare you to compare a newbie to a sovran like us, huh?" I said, her cheeks had a cut because of my nails that deepen in her skin.
"I-I'm s-s-sorry, A-annaliese."
"Who is she?"
"N-no o-one k-knows her i-identity."
Tinulak ko sya paupo. I stared at the blood that runs in my fingers to my hand.
"A douchebag." She fastly run. Terrified in my presence.
I'm one of the sovran.
Pumasok sa isip ko ang babaeng tinutukoy ng estudyante kanina. Who is she? That a mere student compare her aura and strength to a Sovran like us.
I erased my thoughts about that girl. No one can beat the real Queen. I smirked.
I just came back from Canada, tapos ganto ang sasalubong sa pagdating ko? Mga bubuyog?
Someone put his arm into my shoulder. I know his a guy because of his big hands. I immediately hold his hands but he control it and make me lock into his arms.
The fuck.
Naamoy ko ang pamilyar nyang amoy.
"Let me go, Finlo Isidore Wellington!"
"Langya, full name nanaman?" Binitawan nya ko. Napakunot ang noo ko sa remarks nya.
"What do you mean?"
"Wala, masyado lang gwapo ang nagmamay ari ng pangalan ko kaya lagi nyong sinasabi ng buo."
"Very humbly said, Wellington." I clapped my hands.
"How did you know that it's me?" I rolled my eyes.
"Duh! Of course, because of your perfume! Tumatagal lang ng 3 days sayo ang perfume mo. Dahil pinapaligo mo." Inamoy nya ang sarili nya.
"Alam mo ikaw, inggit ka lang kasi mabango ako."
"Yuck, hindi ka kasi naliligo kaya mo pinapaligo ang pabango mo!"
"Personalan ba gusto mo, Annaliese Blair?" Natawa ako sa mukha nya. Mukha syang pinagsakluban ng langit at lupa dahil binuking ko sya.
"Did you missed me, Blair?" My eyes widen when I heard the voice of my bestfriend. Everyone thinks that we are in a relationship but it's really a one-sided love.
"Dion!" I run and hug him tight. I love him really hard, but he just see me as his sister.
"May pa nickname pa kayo sa isa't-isa eh ampapanget naman ng second name nyo." Nakanguso sabi ni Finlo. Nagkatinginan kami ni Dion at sabay na humagalpak sa tawa.
"Isidore!" Sabay naming sabi kaya mabilis na tinakpan ni Finlo ang tenga nya. Ayaw na ayaw nya sa second name nya.
"Balita ko pumapasok na ulit kayo." Sabay na umasim ang mukha nilang dalawa.
"Oo." Sagot ni Dion sa akin.
"Our schedule is now back." Biglang sulpot ni Baxter sa tabi ni Finlo.
Napa-'yes' ng malakas si Finlo. Buti nalang walang mga estudyante. Dahil para syang bata.
Napakiskis lang ng dalawang kamay si Dion. Napakunot ang noo ko sa reaksyon nila.
"Ikaw lang mag-isa ang bumalik Annaliese?" Tanong ni Baxter.
"I don't know about the others wherebouts and please stop calling me Annaliese. It's too long, just call me AL."
"No!" Nagulat ako sa pag alma ni Finlo. Ano nanamang naiisip nito?
"Mas maganda ang Boo." Iba ang pakiramdam ko sa boo na yan. Sabay na napatingin ang dalawa kay Finlo. Ngising-ngisi pa ang gago.
"Pang mag jowa yang tawagang iyan, bro." Medyo natuwa ako sa tono ng pagsasalita ni Dion. Feeling ko nagseselos sya. Naramdaman kong namula ang mukha ko.
Natatawang umiling si Finlo. "The meaning of it will be boo-ang. Short for boo. Parang avatar diba? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA"
Tumigil sya ng marealize nyang sya lang ang tumatawa sa amin.
"Hoy tumawa naman kayo! Joke kaya yon. Tapos pinag-isipan ko pa maigi!"
"REALLY HA? HA HA HA HA HA." I sarcastically laugh
"Yeah. Nice joke, Finlo." Baxter said while clapping slowly.
"May isip ka pala, bro?" Humahagalpak ng tawa si Dion.
Finlo pouted like a duck. Tatlo kami at isa lang sya.
Before he said anything, I ask a question. "Where is the Czar?" They went in silence.
"The Czar?" Baxter also questioning my question
"Yes, where is h--"
"Annaliese." Nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig. Pati ang tatlong lalaking kaharap ay ganoon din ang reaksyon. Ang malambing ngunit nakakakilabot nyang boses. Mabilis akong napaharap sa kanila. Tama nga ako, naramdaman ko agad na lima sila.
"They should prepare us a welcoming party.." Denzel said while playing a lollipop in his mouth.
Isaac walked at me and kissed me in the cheeks.
"Yo, bros." Binati nya ang tatlo na hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa nakakarecover sa gulat. Kung nasa normal na sitwasyon lang ako ay hahagalpak na ako ng tawa sa mukha nilang tatlo ngunit hindi.
Napatingin ako sa babaeng nakangiti. Ang maamo nyang mukha na ginagamit nya para madeceive ang kalaban. Delikado syang tao. Kahit dalawang taon na namin syang kasama, ang Czar lang ang kinakausap nya kahit hindi sya nito kinakausap. Kahit ako ay hindi nya pinapansin.
"Why you're all here?" Baxter was the first that recovered in shock.
"Why? You don't want us here, Henderson?" Zion playfully asked. His tone is teasing Baxter.
"No, we're just shocked on your unexpected comeback."
"No need to be shocked for our sudden came back. I really missed you, guys!" Kael fake his glimmering tears.
They're back. The Old Nick is back. What will the students gonna do?
"Where is he?" Sa wakas nagsalita na sya. Ang babaeng may maamong mukha ngunit may nakakakilabot na pag-iisip. Ivory the ruthless sovran known as the Old Nick.
The Queen of this university.
"We don't know." Finlo seriously said, the Czar is nowhere to be find.
Where is he?
