Chapter 15

"Come on," sabi ni Ems.

Still shocked from what I've learned, she guided me to our room. Halos naging malinaw na sa'kin ang lahat dahil ipinaliwanag ito ni Emy, pero naputol dahil kailangan naming pumasok na sa room lalo na't nag-ring na ang bell.

"I promise I'll tell you more after all our classes," sabi nito.

Tinanguan ko siya. Napansin niya ata na medyo naging balisa ako nang sabihin niya sa akin ang lahat. Even though I readied my self for this, the truth still shocked me. At paano ba naman na hindi ako mababalisa kung alam ko na ano mang oras mula ngayon ay maaari nila akong atakihin at ubusin ang dugo ko. Or worse eat me!

I shook my head, kung ganoon nga, eh 'di sana mula pa noon ay ginawa na nila iyon, pero hindi nangyari. So I can say, I'm safe.

I am pleading, Zinnia for you to reveal the truth.

Napalingon ako sa paligid, pero wala akong nakita na kahit ano, all of my classmates are facing front and listening to the teacher. Who just said that?

Suddenly, my eyes looked out on the window, mula sa kinatatayuan ko ay natanaw ko ang isang burol. I squinted my eyes, that hill suddenly seems familiar. The hyacinth's growing there made my heart thump.

Colline. Biglang bulong ng isang parte ng kaniyang utak.

"Colline...?" bulong ko sa sarili ko.

"What?" napalingon naman sa akin si Emy.

She looked horrified when she heard me say Colline. I don't know why.

"Colline," I repeated.

"Paano mo nalaman 'yon?" asked Emy, she looked so curious and at the same time cautious of me.

"I...don't know," I truthfully answered. My brows furrowing out of confusion.

She stopped and stared at me. She then smiled, "Okay, I understand now."

I didn't know what made her shift her emotions super fast. Parang kumurap lang ako, biglang iba na naman siya. But it isn't my main concern right now.

"Class dismissed," yun lang ang naintindihan ko sa buong araw naming klase.

My mind's been wandering about our talk.

I immediately cleaned my things and put them all in my bag, ngayon na itutuloy ni Emy ang sasabihin niya sa akin, and I really want to know.

"I'll try to see if I can make the two heirs come with us," sabi niya as she also cleaned her things. Tinanguan ko naman siya at pinagpatuloy ang pagliligpit.

Lumapit siya sa dalawa na nasa may harapan lang namin, kasama si Khea.

"Uh, hey," Ems awkwardly said.

I've seen her enough to see that she didn't like Khea's presence.

Agad namang lumingon sa kaniya si Riley nang marinig ang boses nito. It was so fast like he knew she'd be there.

"You two, should come with us," she straightforwardly said.

I almost stifled a laugh. Talagang straighforwad na tao to'ng si Emy.

"Why? If they do, kailangan kasama ako," singit ni Khea.

I saw Emy rolled her eye and snorted, "You know what? Hindi magandang maki-usyoso sa usapan ng may usapan, okay?"

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya, kahit na nakita ko na kung paano nakikitungo si Emy kay Khea, hindi ko pa rin lubos maisip na she will also do it in front of the two. Well, that's Emy for you.
