⚠️. Stormy’s POV

I woke up from the sound of my phone’s alarm. It snoozed for about seconds before I turned it off with my eyes wandering around the almost empty room.

“Huh? ang aga naman gumising ni Jace” bulong ko nung napansin kong mag-isa na lang ako sa kamang hinigaan namin.

Asteria and Millan’s bed was also empty indicating that maybe three of them woke up at the same time and left the room.

Hindi man lang ako ginising ni Jacen, alam naman niyang kahit maaga pa ay pilit kong binabangon katawan ko dahil kadalasan ay masakit ito kahit nakahiga lang.

Antok pa rin ako pero pinilit ko na lang na bumangon agad kasi sa pagkaka-alam ko ay may pupuntahan ulit kami ngayon.

I stood up from the bed and went out of the room before heading downstairs. I was greeted by none other than Jace, she was eating with both Asteria and Millan sa sala.

“Bakit ang aga niyo? maaga ba tayo aalis?” tanong ko sa kanila habang inalok naman ako ni Jace ng kape.

“Hindi na ako makatulog nung nagising ako kaya bumaba na lang ako tapos nakita ko silang gising na rin” sagot naman ni Jacen sabay tinuloy ang pag-ubos sa pagkain niya.

“Eh bakit hindi mo ako ginising? edi sana nakapag-exercise ako” I told her in a low tone, afraid that my loud voice might wake up the rest of them upstairs.

“Sarap sarap ng tulog mo kaya hindi na muna kita ginising, malay ko bang gusto mo na rin bumangon” she rolled her eyes at me and I did the same kasi most of the time ang annoying nito kahit ganito lang ang sinusumbat sa akin.

Both Asteria and Millan chuckled at our small banters while me and Jacen only laughed our embarrassment away. Nakakahiya na dito pa talaga kami nag-asaran tsaka ang lakas ng boses ni Jacen, kala mo hindi niya napipigilan hindi manahimik.

The room then went silent for I don’t know long since we’ve been here. The only sound we can hear is the sound of our breathings, the wall clock ticking and a sudden noise outside—

Wait what? bigla ako tumayo at sumilip sa may bintana para tingnan kung ano yung narinig ko. Medyo madilim pa kasi nga maaga pa at saka wala pang araw na bumubungad sa labas.

“What is it, Stormy?” rinig kong tanong ni Jace pero todo tingin ako sa labas kaso wala naman ako makita talaga.

“I thought I heard something outside o baka guni-guni ko lang yun” I told them with furrowed eyebrows. I could swear I heard something but I don’t think they’ll spare some minutes to even check it since it’s still dark outside.

I noticed Millan also checking from the window curtains but also saw nothing because only darkness was in the view.

We all sat down again, trying to ignore the noise that I assumed came from outside o baka naman maliit na hayop lang ito sa gubat since closed area ito na malapit sa gubatan din.

“Anong nangyayari? may narinig akong ingay” I jumped a little hearing Collin’s voice from behind. She was cleaning her face with a towel, so I assumed kanina pa itong gising or ngayon lang talaga since mukhang naghilamos ito.
