Andora Academy 2: The Fire Guardian's Behalf

Chapter 7

"I'm Amythyst by the way. I'm a student here, currently on my last year of my course. Ikaw?"

Napakurap kurap ako. Hindi alam ang sasabihin. I don't know what the hell is she talking about and I don't know how to answer the question.

I opened my mouth to say something but only to close it again because I cannot formulate a proper sentence as the answer. So I ended up staring at her instead.

"Mag eenroll kaba? Mag ta transfer? I can help you. Anong year ba?"

What?

"A-ahm, yeah."

"Yeah? Okay, tutulungan kita. Pero umikot ka muna hanggang sa gate, hindi ka kase makakapasok dito."

What?

"Just follow the grassy pathway near that stone and you'll reach the entrance of the school. Mag aantay ako doon." and then she smiled sweetly to me. I slowly nodded my head like a simple human being, hypnotized by this girl's angelic charm.

She waved her hands and started walking to the left direction. Sinunod ko ang sinabi nya. Wanting so bad to feed my curiousity about this place. Gamit ang tubig, I traced the way she was talking about earlier and in just a blink, nasa harap na ako ng isang malaking tarangkahan na may matutulis na bagay sa itaas. The gate was made of steel and was covered by a silver paint.

Students stared curiously at me. Ang iba ay huminto pa sa paglalakad para lang kunutan ako ng noo. They look weird on their all white attires kaya ngumiwi ako.

"Hi! Dito!"
Napabaling ako sa babaeng sumenyas sa may malayo. And there I saw Amythyst, slightly catching her breath. Naglakad ako palapit sa kanya at ngumiti.

"Hindi mo sinasabi ang pangalan mo. Mind telling me before I lend my help?"

"Samantha. My name is Samantha."
I responded fluently kahit naninibago pa sa pangalang ginamit.

"Can I call you Sam? Para hindi masyadong mahaba?"

"I don't mind."

She has a very calm and sweet voice, plus her features are soft. She's pretty even though I can feel a mysterious aura inside her. But overall, I think she can be trusted.

"Okay. So, asan ang mga papeles mo? Buti nalang kakasimula palang ng klase kaya pwedi ka pang humabol sa enrollment. At, scholar ka ba?"

Hindi naitago ang pagkunot ng noo ko. Wala akong naintindihan sa sinabi nya. What papers is she talking about? Hindi naman ganito ang process ng enrollment sa Andora. And what's scholar?

She smiled awkwardly. Sweats formed on her forehead and I can almost feel her embarrassment.
"S-scholar?"

"Scholar. Like students being suported by the government's program."

Oh?

"Hindi ako scholar."

"Ganoon? Medyo may kamahalan ang tuition dito sa Vaxon pero, siguro mayaman ka naman..."

Ah, so they envolve money here? Does that mean I have to ask Vlad for money? Or....

"I don't have cash if that's what you mean. I only have golds and diamonds with me. Tumatanggap ba dito?"

Para syang natigilan sa sinabi ko. She stared at me for a very long time. Halong pagtataka at pagkamangha ang nasa mukha nya habang nakatitig sa akin.

"Golds? Real gold you mean?"

"Yes. Why? Is there a fake gold?"

Napakurap kurap sya. In awe. I roamed my eyes around the place. I wanted to bad to examine this place because I feel like there is really something in here, na hindi ko maipaliwanag. I want to investigate dahil sigurado akong may makikita ako dito. I trust my instict.
