Starlight Academy: The Ophiuchus

SA27:What on 14?

VINE

Im on my way to rana's room—

"Ano mas gusto mo? Pink o black?"

And Ofcourse Im with this dumb brat beside me.

"Neither." I answered that made him confused.

Kahit na gusto kong patulan yan hindi ko kaya, he saved my life and kept my secret even though it was out. Kaya kailangan ko parin siyang bayaran— with what? PATIENCE.

"Neither? Meron ba yun sa binigay kong pagpipilian? Ambobo." Bigla bigla nalang itong tumawa sa tabi ko habang naglalakad.

I Dont know this man. Minsan pasok na pasok yung joke pero minsan napaka corny tsaka ang tanga tanga, hindi ko talaga siya mabasa— he's complicated.

"So, bakit Vine pangalan mo? Pinanganak kaba nung Valentine's?"

"Oo."

"Woah, so malapit na birthday mo?"

"Hmm."

"Ano pagkain natin—"

"Tim?"

Napatigil naman ito at tiningnan ako waiting for me to say something. He irritates me—putcha ang sarap hampasin sa mukha tung animal na toh.

"Tumataba kana why dont you stop eating? Ano nalang sasabihin ng mga fans mo?" I exaggerated that made him widen his eyes, isip bata naman yan eh.

"Shit. Hindi ko yun naisip ah."

He sounded so dumb. Ang sarap ipokpok.

"Magbabalik alindog na si TIMOTHYYY!" He ran away from me that made me sighed in relief.

I cant handle such personality.

Pumasok ako sa room ni Rana at nakita si Aron rito na nagbabasa ng kung ano. He gaved me a nod as i walked in— simula nung binuhat niya paalis si Rana doon may kung ano akong napansin sa kaniya.

"Aron." I started.

Tumingala naman ito sa akin at hinintay akong magsalita. I Dont think It's appropriate to ask but Im just curious.

"Do you like...Rana?"

I bit my lips.

He froze at my sudden question staying silent for almost 5 minutes.

Mali ba yung tanong ko?

"No. Bat mo naman naisip yan?" Nagtatakang tanong nito. Pero hindi? Ay Weh?

Mukhang nahawa na ako kay tim sa mga pinagsasabi ko, bad influence. Manang mana si Rana sa kaniya. Mukhang nahahawaan na rin si Enly at ngayon ako naman?

"Cause, your nice to her."

"Kasi kaibigan ko na siya."

"Kaibigan lang talaga? Yun na yun?" Agad kong tinakpan ang bibig ko sa mga sinabi ko at nakita itong napangiti.

"You and your friends are so similar in all of the ways i could think of." He chuckled. Similar?

I cleared my throat then looked at Rana.

Kailan kaya gigising tung tulog mantikang babaeng toh? Naka tatlong chapters na ata kami hindi pa gising ang Deputa.

"Where's Enly?"

"I dont know, si zyrus ang naabutan ko rito."

Hanoh daw? Zyrus? Agad akong lumapit kay Rana at tiningnan lahat ng parte ng katawan nito making Sure she is fine.

"Baka gagayumahin si rana"

"You Guys are paranoid." He sighed. Bumalik naman ito sa ginagawa at hinayaan akong tingnan si Rana dito.

I admit— It's boring without Tim here na nangungulit sa akin.

Why am i even thinking about that coward men. He's such a pussy.

But i cant deny that he is somewhat really helpful SOMETIMES.  Argh get over with it Vine.

I started distracting myself when suddenly agad na napunta sa isipan ko ang device na nakita kanina kay Vin. Why does it looked so familliar? As if i had seen that before pero saan?

Bigla namang bumukas ang pinto na kinagulat ko at tumingin roon. Halos masuka naman ako ng makita si zyrus na mukhang feel na feel ang mga smoldering nito ngayon. The Rock ka teh?

I rolled my eyes at him and watched him scan the room.

When he probably realized Enly isnt here he shoved the end of his blazer at our direction like a prince and walked off looking so confident.

That's really who that prince is. He Love himself so much, mukhang gwapong gwapo din sa sarili. Mala Tim pero mas malala. Napaka yabang talaga niyang tao, who would fall for such a man?

"Ang laki ng galit mo sa mundo." I heard Aron spoked.

"Talaga. I hate him."

"Zyrus? Or Tim?"

Huh? Bakit nasali si Tim dito?

"Kanina lang bored ka at gustong narito si Tim ngayon naman pinapakialaman mo ang mayabang nating prinsipe—not as interesting as how rana's mind works."

Ano? Na curious naman ako sa sinabi nito at hinarap siya.

"Rana's mind? You read it?"

He nodded then started chuckling. Left out ako mare.

"She always thinks about a way on how could she get rid of the prince, What's for lunch after she just ate a whole buffet. She's incredible."

I looked at rana then noticed her showing tearing up that made me frown. Anyare?

Bigla muling bumukas ang pinto at ngayon naman ay si Bernadette na ito at nakangiti sa amin. Hindi parin sila talo ni Rana pero mabait naman yan eh, santa santita lang minsan.

"The headmaster just announced a very exciting thing since Valentine's coming near!" She smiled.

"That's why he needs us elites at his meeting room ASAP! Im so excited!" She yeeted out. Mukhang siya lang naman excited rito eh.

"Duty calls." Aron spoked then stood up. Mahal na mahal ang pagiging elite.

I couldve want him for rana, kaso baka dedmahin lang siya dahil sa mga duty calls na yan. He is nice , he got everything but i think his work is way more important to him. Typical.

Tumayo narin ako at tiningnan muli si Rana tsaka umalis doon. Now Let's hear this Valentine's thing..

If ever we had mentioned different months before nah we are sticking up to febuary. Malapit na 14, my birthday.

Umupo ako sa tabi ni dream then listened to the head Master as he explains us the happenings on this Valentine's.

"This year there are some changes—we will Hold this program to let lover's get each other. Hindi nalang 7 minutes in heaven ang gagawin sa mga studyante. There shall be a masquerade ball,and more events..Let's make this day the best."

What?
