ESCAPE [ ZSU SERIES #1 ]

ESCAPE [PROLOGUE]

[PROLOGUE]

''Have you seen Maisie already, Jane?'' Leo asked, 

''Uh— maybe she's in the library. You know, she loves reading books.'' Jane said and shrugged.

I rolled my eyes at them while covering my face with a book.

''I'm here, since when did you guys became blind?'' pagtataray ko. 

Muntik na silang mapatalon dahil bigla akong nagsalita. ''Mygosh Maisie! I almost had a heart attack!'' she exclaim, making me roll my eyes again.

Leo smiled, ''Where have you been? I've search everywhere in the school— except in the female bathroom, I can't go there of course.'' he said and chuckled.

''I just went to the library when I heard from the girls there that Jane was losing her mind looking for me. Some also said that she's crying, so I ran out of the library to find you guys.'' I emphasize Jane's name.  ''As always." Leo commented.

''You should be grateful because I care for you!'' Jane said, rolling her eyes. ''Well, at least you're safe Maisie, next time kasi magtago ka. Tignan nalang natin kung hindi mas mabaliw at magkanda iyak si Jane kakahanap sayo.'' Leo said, patting my head while laughing. I laugh too which makes Jane feel annoyed. 

I only have 2 best friends, Leo Daniel Cruz and Ivy Jane Velasco. Leo is an Aries and Jane is a Cancer. While me, I'm a Scorpio. We're 17 years old, we met here in ZSU. At first, I don't like being friends with anyone in this school but my mind suddenly changed when I met them. They're both nice to me while I mock and I always sound sarcastic when I talked to them. I don't know how they handled my attitude, as far as I know Aries and Cancer are both sensitive. Once, they admitted that they're hurt back in days and I felt bad for them. So I tried to get along with them, being a nice person, and that's how are friendship began. 

I'm stubborn and always sarcastic but for Leo and Jane, they're now used to it, I love reading books and library is my favorite place. Of course that's the only place where books are, right? While Jane is like a cry baby! She loves dogs and other harmless animals, especially when they look cute. She burst into tears when she saw one. Leo is quiet, loves to play musical instruments especially saxophone. He's also a good singer too which everyone in the school admires him.

Now, if you're asking if which one of us is the popular, well the answer is Jane. She's popular because of her kindness, she can make friends with anyone in no time! Trust me, I think the whole city know who Ivy Jane Velasco is. Aside from her kindness that make her famous at school, she came from the family of doctors. She's the daughter of James Velasco and Iviene Perez-Velasco, the most well payed doctors in the city.

 And I envy her for that, she have the life I want.

I sigh, ''Look at the book I borrowed from the lib-'' 

''MYGOSH A CUTE DOG WAAAAA'' Jane said and starts crying. Uh, seriously.

''MAISIE! LEO! LOOK HOW CUTE HE IS!'' Jane said while caresing the dog. ''And how can you tell that the dog is a boy, you didn't even look at the-''

''Male dogs tend to be slightly taller and larger than females.'' she said and burst to tears again.

As she cries, the blue symbol of a cancer slowly shows up in her eyes. It only shows when they're showing their personalities, the Zodiac Sign Cancer are known for being sensitive and cry babies.

''There she goes again.'' Leo said, ''Look at her eyes, it's beautiful.'' I said, honestly. Unfortunately, Jane can't hear us. Once the symbol of your zodiac sign shows up because you also showed your personality, you will be focus on the object that makes you show your personality. She can't hear nor see us, but she can hear the bark of the dog and see how it waves his cute tiny tail. Which makes her look like she's happy. To make it easier to understand, she's like sleeping and she's focus to her dream that makes her happy but with an open eyes.
