TALIA'S POV
"Sino ba kasi si Rox?" takang tanong ni Callie.
I frowned. "I don't know either, love."
Halos isang araw na naming iniisip kung sino si Rox. Hindi nga ako nakatulog nang maayos kagabi.
Because of this, I'm totally in the mood for shopping. It's way better than pondering about mysteries I don't have the answer to.
I hope I don't bump into any of the Olympians though. It's gonna be a hassle.
"Gusto mong magshopping?" tanong ko kay Callie. Kanina pa kasi kaming dalawa dito sa library. Nakatunganga lang naman kami sa mga libro eh.
"Ano'ng shopping? Kailangan nating samahan sina Headmistress Adhira sa pagbati sa mga Olympians," iritang sagot ng katabi ko. "Accommodation, ganon."
"Oh my greeks!" I exclaimed. "Ayoko nga." Bigla akong napasimangot. Kailangan ba talaga? Malalaki na naman sila eh.
"Gusto nilang icampus tour natin sila." Inikot ni Callie ang mga mata niya. "Parang hindi sila ang gumawa ng academy ah."
"Why does it have to be us?"
"Kasi may meeting silang lahat, maliban nalang kina Cole at Aurora. Since we're used to this, they picked us."
I sighed. "This is gonna be a long day then."
We stayed quiet for a few minutes before we decided to meet the former protectors of the academy. We knocked on the headmistress' door and we were greeted by their troubled faces.
"It's nice to see the both of you, Callie and Talia," bati sa'min ni Headmistress Adhira. Kasama niya sina Miss Elliana at Sir Saint.
"Those gods are so burdensome. I was in the middle of sleeping." Sinapo ni Sir Saint ang kanyang noo.
"Nakakamiss na tuloy 'yung buhay ko nung estudyante pa lamang ako. Puro tulog lang ang ginawa ko noon eh," komento naman ni Miss Elliana.
While staring at them, an imaginary lightbulb popped above my head. Kilala kaya nila si Rox? Maybe they know something about her?
"Uh, headmistress..." Kinuha ko ang atensyon niya. "I have a question."
Her eyebrows raised. "What is it, Talia?"
"May kilala ba kayong estudyante na Rox? Kailangan lang naming malaman."
They all froze into place. Every single one of them.
Why are they reacting like this?
"Rox?" Miss Elliana's voice started to shake a bit, but she maintained her composure. "Why do you want to know, Talia?"
"This person is an important piece in the mystery we're trying to solve," sagot ni Callie. "Kaya kung may alam kayo, baka pwede naming malaman?"
The headmistress sighed. "I might be wrong, but the Rox I know was a student of Elysium Academy. Her real name was Roxanna and honestly, she was a total enigma. Most of them knew nothing about her."
"But we did."
They... did?
"Ano'ng koneksyon niyo kay Roxanna, headmistress?"
