The Prophecies Revert

Chapter 3

Dreaming something even though it couldn't be real is already happiness. But what makes it the happiest is that when the dream you've been dreaming for so long suddenly became real in an instant. But how could I be happy if this dream where I am isn't that happy as what I've thought?

Alam ko nang mangyayari 'to kaya hindi na ako nagulat. All of them were staring at me like what those vampires did earlier. Seems like they were scanning me or maybe waiting for my reaction to change. Hindi ako makatingin ng diretso sa mga mata nila dahil sa sobrang pula nito kaya nakatungo lang ako.

How long are we going to stay like this?

"Oh, I'm sorry. Nakalimutan kong may bago pala tayong kasama sa grupong 'to. Come here, introduce yourself." Madam Crysta gestured me to come closer because I'm still standing near the door, not planning to walk in.

"Uh... H-Hi? I'm Niane Maliseth Azore," I simply introduced myself.

Haggang ngayon ay nakatungo pa rin ako. I'm afraid to meet their eyes, I might feel strange again.

"Maybe they were just shock, Niane. You can seat in any vacant chairs, wherever you want. The head mistress already told me about you so there's no need to explain." No one greeted me or even whispered something so Madam Crysta just welcomed me.

Ngumiti lang ako ng konti at saka tumango."Thank you, Madam."

"Pwedeng sa tabi ko na lang siya umupo? Wala kase siyang kakilala bukod sa'kin, eh."

Nanatili akong tahimik sa tabi ni Lixe habang nakikipag-usap pa siya sa cena namin.

"Sure. Magkasama naman kayo sa dorm kaya ikaw ang aatasan kong magtuturo muna sa kanya tungkol sa iba't ibang bagay na gagawin natin. Maliwanag ba?" panunuri pa ni Madam Crysta.

"No worries."

The whole discussion doesn't seem so boring for me. Hindi kagaya sa mundo namin na pabalik-balik ang itinuturo. Baka dahil rin sa naninibago pa ako rito at wala pang alam sa mga bagay-bagay kaya kailangan kong makinig sa mga tinuturo niya.

"I'll give you an advance lesson and be sure to research some details. Kapag nag-oral tayo mamayang gabi at ni isa sa inyo ay walang makasagot, alam niyo na ang rules."

They all winced and just nodded. Anong klaseng rules ba? Ibibitay niya kaya o babawian niya ng hininga?

"You're so funny, Niane. It's none of the above. Isang toneladang assignment lang naman ang parusa kaya naging gano'ng ang reaksyon nila. Most of the vampires hates lessons and discussions. Nakakabobo raw kase." Mahinang tumawa si Lixe sa tabi ko.

Am I going to tell Heaven that she's reading my mind again?

"Oh, please don't do that. Hindi ko na gagamitin ang ability ko sa'yo, promise."

Napailing na lang ako."Sabi mo, eh. Oo nga pala, pwede mo ba akong samahan sa library mamaya pagkatapos nito? I guess this school has a library, right?"

"Of course, it has. Kahit saan naman sigurong school may library. But Nia, I had to sleep after this. Wala akong lakas para mamayang gabi," nakanguso niyang reklamo.

"Before I dismiss, I'll remind you to read the first book that Viancee Talejandra had published at her young age. I'll discuss it to all of you in our class later. Ang gusto ko lang gawin niyo ay magbasa ng kahit konti man lang para may ideya kayo sa tatalakayin natin mamayang gabi. And now, you can go back to your respective dormitory and have a great rest." She gave us a warm smile before walking out of our room.

"Kaasar! Magbabasa na naman! Makakalimutan din naman mamayang gabi." Isa sa mga kaklase ko and nagsalita at parang naiinis ata siya.

"Madadagdagan pa 'yan kung hindi talaga tayo magbasa. Alam niyo naman si Madam Crysta, mabuti nga at hindi siya kagaya ni Madam Ovrey," singit naman ng isa ko pang kaklase.
