"Pack your things, kids. And make sure not to leave anything behind."

Sumunod kaming lahat sa sinabi ni Eva. The camp's over and we need to go back to the school. I can't believe I'm saying this but I wish we could stay here longer. I like it here.

Inayos namin ni Jasmin ang aming mga gamit. Nanlumo ako nang makita ko ang jacket ni Jed na may mga bahid ng dugo at may iilang mga butas. Hindi ko na ito magagamit. I don't know what's wrong with the weather but it's freezing cold out there. At siguradong mas malamig pa mamaya sa school bus.

"I have a spare jacket. If you want to, I can lend it to you." sabi ni Jasmin nang makita ang reaksyon ko habang nakatingin sa kawawang jacket.

"This girl is being nice. I think the real Jasmin Whitlock was kidnapped. Wherever she is, I kinda hope she's fine." bulong ko sa aking sarili pero sapat lamang para marinig niya.

Sinamaan niya ako ng tingin. "Changed my mind. You can freeze to death."

I laughed hard. "I was just kidding. Give me the jacket." I demanded.

Ibinato niya sa akin ang isang dilaw at asul na jacket na may logo ng eskwelahan. Oh, this is her football varsity jacket. Nakita ko agad ang napakalaking 'WHITLOCK' na nakatatak sa likod. Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa na isuot ito.

"My jacket looks so big on you." nakangising sabi niya.

"That's because you're a giant." irap ko sa kanya. "Can I have this? It's so comfortable."

"What? No way!" she protested. "Give that back to me once we get home."

Home, huh? I don't consider that place a home and I guess I never will. And speaking of home, I need to talk to Kaylee and the others. If what Jasmin said is true, then we don't have to worry about Isaiah trying to kill a member of my family again. Pwede na kaming umuwi. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero nakaramdam ako ng kaunting lungkot.

"Hey, wolfie. What's wrong?" tanong ni Jasmin sa akin.

Agad akong umiling at ngumiti sa kanya. "Nothing. I'll just miss camp." I lied.

She quirked an eyebrow at me. "You're lying. I can tell."

Ngumiwi ako sa kanya. "Let's just finish packing."

Ipinagpatuloy ko ang pag aayos ng mga gamit ko. Ganun din ang ginawa ni Jasmin. Pagkatapos namin mag ayos ay tinulungan kami nila Elijah at Jed na tupihin ang tent. Sila na din ang nagdala ng mga gamit namin sa bus.

Mula sa malayo ay nakita kong kumakaway sa akin si Arisa. Mukhang paalis na din sila. Mabilis akong lumapit sa kanya.

"Hello, Arisa." nakangiting bati ko.

"You look good in that jacket. It really suits you." she said, smiling widely.

I giggled. "Thank you. This isn't mine tho."

"Whitlock? Is that the Whitlock Boarding School's QB1's jacket?" she asked curiously.

QB1? Jasmin is the football team's quarterback? I didn't know that.

"Uhm, yeah?" hindi siguradong sagot ko.

"The tall blond girl." she added.

"Oh." napatango ako. "Yep, this is hers."

Nagtaka ako nang lumapit siya sa akin at bumulong. "I don't know if my eyes were just playing tricks on me, but I think I saw her hand glow the other day."

My forehead creased. "Her hand glowed?"

She nodded. "Yep, when she was talking to the guy who was with your sister the other day. Geez, I still can't believe you two are sisters."
