Chapter B

"You'll make it out alive baby, don't worry" Logan laughed as we both stared at San Antonio University's main gate.

"I will be a zombie...I'm sure of it." Pagkatapos kong pagdaanan ang sandamakmak na Orientation, I came to a conclusion na magiging zombie talaga ako sa daming gagawin. But then, kapag gusto ko hindi naman ako mahihirapan diba? Still, hello eye bags. First day please be good to me.

"You're going to be a pretty zombie," Logan said, rubbing my back. "And he will still love you."

"Oh shut up"

"What? I'm telling the truth."

"I know but it's not helping the situation."

Logan shook his head before laughing again. Nag park na kami kanina pa pero hindi ko parin magawang pumasok at makipag sabayan sa ibang students.

Everything is so different. Not that hindi ko pa iyon napansin, orientation palang kasi feeling ko nasa ibang mundo ako.

Life just gave me a reality check that day.

"There are a lot of things waiting for you not just this," Logan said. "For god's sake it's the first day of class, wag mo kong tignan na parang magkaka nervous breakdown ka sa gitna ng daan. Papatayin ako nung nasa France!"

"Oo na!" Pagtataray nalang talaga ang naging defense mechanism ko.

Inhale. Exhale. You've been in and out of the SAU last week Calliope, hindi ka na mawawala. You can do this.

Funny how a girl like me with overflowing confidence ay kakabahan ng ganito. College can do that to you. Sabi nila ay makakakita ako ng iba't ibang klase ng tao dito and I already saw a glimpes of that noong orientation. Iyong iba ay matitino naman dahil halos lahat ay galing sa mga Elite families and scholars. But then kakaonti palang ang nakikita ko non.

"Come on, hatid na kita sa first class mo."

Pumasok na kami. I'm wearing something comfortable today, di katulad nung iba na parang may fashion show na pupuntahan. For heaven's sake this is a University not New York! May dress code rin naman dito but the students neglect it dahil may maibubuga naman sila. They know they can bend the rules with money kaya ganon. Sa mga University na katulad nito, Money speaks. Buy despite of that, the quality of education speaks too.

"Sa Buenaventura rin yung sa'yo diba?" tanong ko kay Logan, pansin ko ay pinagtitinginan na siya. Ganito rin yung nangyari nung orientation, buti nalang ay sabay yung schedule ng course namin. I know he'll be an instant heartthrob, paano pa kaya kung mag laro na siya sa U-games?

"Yep, just two floors higher than yours," he answered, casually showing his hands in his pockets. He seemed oblivous to the stares. Sabagay, kahit nung nasa Bridgeway kami pili lang ang mga babaeng binibigyan niya ng atensyon. Siguro ay nagbubunyi na yung mga taga Dela Merced Uni. ngayon dahil sa kanila napunta ang dalawang playboy. Tood bad for them. It will be a new environment for the two monkeys and girl hunting will be first on their agenda instead of learning. Ang hinihiling ko lang ay sana makahanap doon ng girlfriend si Josh. He deserves a girl.

"Pag walang prof kita tayo?"

Tumango ako. "Yes, sigurado akong wala. Out of all my three classes today siguro iisa lang ang prof na papasok."

He chuckles. "We'll eat at Hemlock's and meet with the others."

"I almost forgot na nagkalat ang Black Blade dito"

"And they'll be watching you, don't forget that"

"I won't," tumawa ako. Leo, X, Blue, Ivan, KT, and Jett are studying here. May iba pa kaso nakalimutan ko na. Nalaman at nakilala ko sila dahil sa madalas kong pag punta sa Olympus, not to party but to hang out. Madalas kasing tumatambay ang Black Blade roon pag hapon. Ang branch na iyon ng Delevinge Hotel ang nagsilbing hideout nila dahil hindi lang naman ang Olympus ang nakatayo roon. Their kingdom ranges to the bottom.
