Chasing Daylight (On-hold)

Chapter 25

Venisse's POV

Location: West Steel City

The city that has all of the materials for weapon making. It won't be surprising if you'll see most of the citizens here in public holding their own weapons. This city is the second dangerous place you can go, the first one of course, is North Herlanion.

But I didn't expect the city to be lacking of security. They know our school is coming and yet they let some of the students die.

“The incident is no joke, itutuloy pa kaya nila ang field trip?” I heard a student from the back said.

I sighed. Walang sabi-sabing bumaba ako sa bus at nilabas ang motorbike ko mula sa compartment. I'm sure Sage, Rhian and Chase are doing fine because I know they're in the last bus while me... I witnessed how the billboard crashed to the first bus. Damn, we were just right behind, the billboard almost hit us but the driver stopped halfway.

“Miss, bumalik po kayo sa loob dahil baka may mangyare pa,” a prof said that was looking after our class.

“I'll be fine, and besides staying inside the school bus isn't safe either,” sumakay ako at pinaandar ang motorbike ko. Tinawag n'ya pa ako pero hindi ako tumigil.

I just went to an empty alley to smoke. Sumandal ako at sinindihan ang sigarilyo ko. Whether they continue the trip or not we will still go ahead with our plan. I told Sage already that if something happens we'll have to separate from the school. He can do that because of his unlimited connections, even if we are in a different city no one will held us back, not even the government. It maybe illegal knowing we didn't get any permission from the East government when we left, however, we have no choice but to separate from the school trip if they will be heading back because of the incident.

Ring

Hmm? I got a call.

“What is it?” I answered without checking who it was.

[Where the hell are you?! I just got an email that you transfered to another school, what is this all about? You didn't inform us anything!] Ayys, I felt like my ears is gonna bleed.

“Mom, calm down. I went on a field trip, it's a personal matter, I will be gone in a month, take care,” I said. Hindi ko maiwasang mapangiwi, pero alam ko nag-aalala lang s'ya.

[You little brat! Better get home safe or I'll beat you up!] Yeah, that's how she worries.

My Mom is a MMA Champion in East Solana City, I take after her, but...

“Mom, you can't even touch a single strand of my hair,” I teased. We spar a lot, she's good for a 39 years old woman.

She's once a champion because of hard work when she was at my age, while I'm born talented. I always boast to my family that I'm the strongest interms of fighting, and they are proud of me because I'm almost perfect in their eyes.

I blew a puff of smoke then chuckled silently. Kaya lumalaki ang ulo ko eh. 

[Ayys, you are my daughter. So arrogant.] I can feel that she's rolling her eyes on the other line.

[Last question, how are you doing these days?] I stopped for a minute and think.

“I'm making friends,” sagot ko at ngumiti.

I hang up before she ask quetions again. She knows that I don't have any real friends because I'm not very friendly, I don't have interest either. Some of the people close to me are just acquaintances. It will be surprising to her hearing that I'm making friends at my own will.
