Lineysha's POV
Parang maiiyak na ako sa boredom at pagod, paano kasi ilang oras na kaming naglilinis ng dorm!
Hindi ko alam kung nasaan na ang line ni Zayn na 'go to your room' mayroon pa bang dumi?
Ang sakit na talaga ng katawan ko. Ganito ba talaga ka kamakapangyarihan ang boses ng isang anak ni Aphrodite? None of us could get away from his charm speaking!
Sabay-sabay kaming napalingon sa hagdan nang makarinig nang naglalakad doon. Si Zayn! Miracle has come!
Agad ko siyang hinarang, pinanlakihan ko siya ng mata, hindi kasi ako makapagsalita!
Pinaningkitan niya ako. "Z-zayn.." finally, I was able to utter a word! "Stop this, please?" Pinigilan ko ang sarili ko na ngumiti nang makita ang panlalambot sa mata niya. C'mon! He might not change his mind. "Please...?" I even copied Asa's style, blinking my eyes like a puppy.
He sighed "Sorry..." Ngumiti ako nang malaki nang maramdaman ang pagkawala ng isang pwersa sa akin.
"Finally!"
"P*ta!"
"Grabe pakiramdam ko nagtrabaho ako buong buhay ko!"
"It feels like I fought with hundreds of giants."
Ngumiti ako kay Zayn but he was just staring at me. I blinked when he extended his hand and wiped the side of my lips.
"Clean up, Murai.." He said in a soft voice and with my heart beating like a running horse I nodded.
I guess he doesn't really like dirt that much.
Nagkaniya-kaniya kaming tungo sa kwarto namin at naglinis na nga ako ng katawan. I wore another pair of clothes at lumabas na when they called for lunch.
Zayn cooked, as an apology he said. He was just surprised, and tired for writing a report earlier that he got out of control of his emotions. Nag-order din siya ng iba pang pagkain 'cause it's Kelis birthday.
"Happy birthday man." They both did their hand thing.
"Thanks kuya." I didn't know that Kelis could utter a joke because all of us cracked down upon seeing Zayn's reaction, clearly he doesn't like being called kuya by Kelis.
We ate happily. And I was smiling from ear to ear watching them bickering at each other.
Asa was talking about how diligent and creative the hunters are and she feels a little envious, she wishes she had some of their attributes.
"'Wag mo kasing i-compare ang sarili mo sa kanila." Seryosong ani ni Saac, na para bang isang mabuting kaibigan na bibigyan ka ng advice, si Asa ay nakikinig sa kaniya. "Ko-mare dapat kasi babae ka." All of us didn't get to stop our laughter. And Asa almost threw a fork at Saac but Trix immediately stopped her.
Saac and his silly jokes.
Tumikhim si Zia kaya nanahimik na kami at tumingin sa kaniya, handa na para sa sasabihin niya. "The Olympic Game is coming," she muttered and the excitement instantly appeared on their faces especially Asa whom I know was the athletic in all of us. "I have the paper ready, everyone will sign up to a sports or game you desire, everyone."
Napasimangot ako, gusto ko sanang sumali sa games kaso hindi ko alam kung anong sports ang sasalihan ko.
"How about the preparation Z?" Critz asked, finally she woke up this afternoon.
"It was all done Critzel, now we will only play." Napangiti ng malaki ang mga kasama ko.
"Yes!!"
"Who prepared it?" Tanong ni Harry.
"Academy's staff."
Nag-usap-usap na sila ulit sa mga sports na sasalihan nila. Madami sa kanila ang sasali sa swords fight, Trix and Zia will join the chariot race, Ciara will join the bow and arrow competition. Zayn will join discuss throw, Asa will compete in the javelin throw 'cause she's band in marathon race, Critzel, Kel, and Harry will join swords fight. They suggested pankration to Harry but he refused, he said he didn't want those kinds of dirty combat, it was a brutal contest combining all the physical combat skills, street fighting are allowed.
"Eh sa nude walang sasali?" Walang pasabing tanong ni Asa, napaubo pa ang iba sa amin.
"Didn't the Academy ban it a long time ago?" Critz asked.
"Ay parang may balak ah."
"The f*ck did you take!" Inis na ani ni Critzel.
Nudity was an event before held at the same time during the Olympic Games, there were a lot of religious beliefs about that. Ang mga players ang sumasali doon, displaying their nudity. But it was banned a long time ago.
After eating they asked me what sports I'm gonna join.
"Swords fight?"
"Bow and arrow?"
"Chariot race?"
Now I regret not practicing any sports before. Sana man lang nahilig ako sa kahit isa, kahit marathon na lang.
"You can join us in the Chariot race, tatlong tao ang kailangan, dalawa pa lang kami ni Trix," Zia offered, hindi na ako nagdalawang isip pa at pumayag na ako kaagad.
Nilista na namin ang mga pangalan namin at ang games na sasalihan namin. Pagkatapos no'n ay nagkaniya-kaniya na kaming lakad.
Sumama ako kela Zia at Trix dahil iche-check daw namin ang pwede naming gamitin na kabayo.
Nang magpunta kami sa stables ay umingay ang mga kabayo, si Trix naman ay mukhang nag-eenjoy.
"He's talking to the horses," Zia said, tumango-tango ako.
Si Poseidon nga pala ang creator ng horses, no wonder Trix can talk to them.
"These." Napahinto kami sa paglakad kung saan huminto si Trix, "I like them," Zia and I nodded, it was a black and white stallion, they look big, I think they can carry the three of us plus the chariot.
"We will borrow them then." Lumabas na kami sa stable, habang naglalakad pabalik sa dorm ay napansin ko ang mga abalang estudyante, hindi na nila kami napapansin na siyang ikinatuwa ko.
At least I'm not gonna hear awful things.
Pagdating ko sa dorm ay walang tao doon, everyone's busy with their last minute training.
Sana lang hindi ako tumilapon sa chariot race.
