My whimpers couldn't contain my feeling. I always feel like this.
My heart sinks with guilt and shame every time my power ignites and causes destruction. It's like a burden that I can never escape.
My heart races and my palms sweat every time I feel the heat rise within me. The fear of losing control and causing harm to those around me weighs heavily on my shoulders. It's a constant battle to keep my powers in check, and the guilt of my past mistakes lingers in the back of my mind. Sometimes I wish I could just disappear, so I wouldn't have to be a burden to those I care about.
Mahigpit ang hawak ko sa mga binti ko habang nagmumukmok sa dormitory. My first impression wasn't great and it made a huge impact in Arcane.
"Don't cry, little sis." Brooke smirked beside me. She's on the other side of the room.
It didn't make me feel better. The heat from my body didn't subside. My past memories makes me hot and my sister beside me doesn't help at all. I have no idea on how to contain myself.
"I didn't know that it would end up like that. Hindi pa naman nagsisimula ang klase. Pwede ka pang mag back out. Pwede ka pang umuwi sa bahay at bumalik kay Mom. Pwede mong sabihin sa kanya na nagbago na ang isip mo at ayaw mo na rito dahil hindi friendly ang mga estudyante!"
Umiling-iling ako habang nagpupunas ng luha.
"Sabrina and Catriona is very friendly, Brooke. Kasalanan ko kung bakit sila natakot sa akin."
"Well, yeah... It's your fault... Don't you think that you're too dangerous for the school? Hindi ka ba natatakot na baka masunog mo ang lahat ng tao rito?" Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit sa akin.
Brooke has long, straight, blue hair that matches the color of her eyes. Her hair falls in smooth, sleek strands down her back, reflecting the light with a subtle shine. Her eyes are deep and captivating, drawing people in with their intensity. With delicate features and a gentle smile, Brooke's appearance exudes a quiet grace that is both captivating and serene.
Using her soft and delicate index finger, she lift my chin as she smirked at me.
"But you can stay too, my dearest sister. Just don't expect that your stay will be good. You were never welcome."
She left me alone. She told me that she has lots of friends in the school. Her ranking is good and people worship her. She told me that I can never achieve what she had because we're total opposite. I understood it. It's true. But a little part of me still wonders and hope if it could be possible.
To be part of something. To belong.
The days passed like a whirlwind and today is the grand ceremony for the opening of the school year. We're sophomore and from six subjects, they added one.
Pamilyar ako sa mga subject dahil napag-aralan ko na ito noong freshman pa lang ako. Kahit homeschooled ay hindi ko pinababayaan ang pag-aaral ko.
Nakatitig ako sa schedule na nakapaskil sa isang bulletin board at nakita ko na magkadikit ang pangalan namin ni Brooke doon. Iisa kami ng subject at section.
Defense, Theory, Music at pagtapos non ay breaktime na. Control, Crafting, Lore at Ethics at pagtapos ay babalik na kami sa dorm para magpahinga.
"Do you know where the main hall is?" a guy wearing a cheap-looking fabric asked me. He smiled at me.
His brown hair was a mess, but his warm brown eyes emanated friendliness. As he spoke, I caught a glimpse of his slightly crooked incisor teeth, which only added to his unique charm.
"Uh..." Napa-iling ako. "Hindi ko rin alam."
Tumango-tango siya at napatingin na lang ulit sa bulletin board.
