HIDDEN : Amestris High - On going

Chapter 9

Asty's POV

"How's your morning class?" Erina asked as we walks through the cafeteria. Hindi naman niya binalewala yung pangakong pupuntahan niya ako after class to make sure that no one will test me out. Magkakabukingan agad na hindi sa wala akong enchant, I mean, magkakabukingan na hindi ko pa alam ang enchant na meron ako.

"Draining. Wala akong takas." I just said, saglit niya akong hinarang at pinangunutan ng noo.

"Why? May nangyari ba?" she asked, pinisil pisil niya pa yung mga braso ko at tiningnan mula ulo hanggang paa.

"Nah. It's just that, hindi ako na-informed that senior class should be held outside. We're doing practicals and research so I think ako na ngayon yung may kakayahang galingan pa lalo ang pagpapanggap. You shouldn't worry too much kasi hindi mo naman problema to, tsaka kakahiya na sayo, andami-dami mo ng naitulong sakin." salaysay ko pa. She just looked at me seriously sabay tingala niya pa sa'kin cause' I'm kinda taller than her. I think she's 5'3 while me? 5'7 I guess?

"Ate Asty naman, ang problema mo ay problema ko din. Baka kaya pang gawan ng paraan, basta ako bahala." she reaasured me so I mouthed her "thank you". I'm not expecting anything anyways from her kasi sobrang dami niya na ngang naitulong. I'm not also using her either kasi una pa lang naming pagkikita, magkasundo naman na agad kami kahit na hindi ko pa alam that she's a part of royal family.

"Ano ba set up niyo? Let's see kung anong pwede nating gawin?"

"A support and elemental enchanters are paired up to balance the abilities and skills in case of emergency." I immedietely replied. We now seated on one of the tables near the window to get fresh air. Masyado akong na-suffocate kanina sa classroom kasi bukod sa alam kong malalakas na nga ang mga kasama ko even some of them are support enchanters, hindi talaga nawala ang bulong-bulungan after Yrus pulled me outside at ang sabay rin naming pagbalik sa loob.

"So you'll be paired up with an elemental enchanter?"

"Obviously." sagot since napag-usapan nga namin na ipapakilala ko ang sarili ko as support one kasi hindi pa kami sure if totoo bang fire nga meron ako, pwede rin kasi false warning lang yun at may posibilidad baka nga tama kami na support lang ako.

"Need ko na bang pikutin if ever magkaalaman?"

"Oh you can't." natatawang anas ko, sumimangot siya sa harapan ko like a lost child so I just pinched his cheek and smiled at her.

"Bakit?" she like a three year old kid.

"Because I'm her partner lil sis."

Sabay kaming napalingon ni Erina when we heard familiar voice, he even sat beside me and winked at me so I immedietely draw a disgusted face. Pansin ko rin ang gulat sa tatlong nasa likuran niya kaya napilitan na din ang mga itong umupo na rin kasama namin ni Erina.

"You're unbelievable Yrus, parang last time, you're being irritated everytime you saw Asty but today? What's with you? At talagang nag-request ka pang ikaw ang maging partner niya for our research and practicals?" Rion just said, hindi naman siya tinapunan ni Yrus ng tingin at walang pakielam na kumain na lang sa tabi ko.

Nagkatinginan kaming lahat and we all shrugged our shoulders as a sign na "hindi din namin alam". What's with him? Is he bipolar?

"Pagpasensyahan mo na ang isang yan Asty, his attitude is nowhere to be found, no one can talk to him properly except my sister. Kay Erina lang mabait ang isang yan.Right?" Sophane added sabay tingin sa kapatid niya na sinang-ayunan nilang lahat.

Yeah, nabanggit na din sa akin ni Yrus na close sila ni Erina simula bata pa sila because Sophane is busy on her duties, tapos ngayon, nabanggit din na si Erina nga lang kinakausap nito ng matino so I think they are really close. Pero bakit sinabi sa'kin ni Erina na wala akong dapat pagsabihan ng about sa'kin kahit sino even her family, so most probably, the nobles are included.
