Hailey's POV


Pagdating namin sa dining room ay bumungad agad sa amin ang mga naka-handang pagkain. I looked at Kyran, who was beside me and was already looking at me. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay bago magsalita "May problema ba?" I asked innocently


He stared at me for a while before sighing, "You owe us an explanation."


Ah.. he's probably confused about what happened earlier. I stifled my laughter and just smiled; for some reason, I felt refreshed


"Sit down, everyone," father said


I sat down near him and the others followed. The maids started assisting us when Kyran cleared his throat. "Father, how have you been lately?" 


"Hm, nothing much has happened. It seems like you've been taking care of my daughter well," he said casually as he started eating


Di man halata sa mukha ko ngayon, pero kinakabahan talaga ako ng sobra kase hindi ako sigurado sa gagawin ko, kada subo ko sa pagkain na nasa plato ko ay para bang mabubulunan ako


"Hailey, okay ka lang?" mahinang tanong sakin ni Carrion


He was sitting beside me together with Zakariya habang nasa harap ko naman si Kyran at katabi niya sila Pierre and Louille. I looked at him and nodded "Yeah, I'm fine"


Not long after that, dad started talking, "Hailey, I heard about your recent endeavors inside the academy. It seems like you joined the lowest class in the academy?" sabi niya habang hinihiwa ang steak na nasa harap niya


"Ah yes..." di ko na alam ang sunod na sasabihin ko... halata namang disappointed siya na nalipat ako sa Class F pero wala na siyang magagawa


"Hmm... are you even sure that you can improve there? Your learning environment suddenly changed, so I'm a bit worried about how you will adapt there" he added 


I took a sip from my juice before replying, "Don't worry, dad. I'm doing fine. I'm sure you've also heard about some of my activities ever since the class started. So 'wag na po kayong mag-alala" I assured him 


Tahimik lang ang iba habang pinapakiramdaman ang paligid, I know na nagtataka rin sila sa mga nangyayari.


"Well, if you say so" sambit niya


Di nagtagal ay nagsalita rin si Pierre, "Father, may we know the reason for your sudden arrival? We had just received your letter yesterday and we were shocked by your sudden appearance."


Kahapon pa lang siya nagsasabi na babalik na siya, pero to think na he would surprise us like this. "I just wanted to see your reactions, and I also got worried when I heard about what happened to my only daughter," he said, looking at me, He was probably talking about the amnesia thing


"Don't worry too much, dad. I'm doing fine." pano na 'to huhu... sana hindi ako under suspicion or anything
