A Pure blood's Vow

Weekends passed and a new start of the weekdays for classes has begun. I felt at ease after my Sunday ended peacefully like the normal. About Nay Hina's son, just like what I imagined; he was a kind and sweet guy. He's one year older than me. Since after what happened last Saturday night, the weird guy with crimson eyes didn't bother me again. I'm still wondering why he suddenly stormed outside my unit with unbelievable temperature. Also, my fingers healed fast for the second time.

Weird stuffs begun to happen after my first encounter with him.

"Akala ko ngayon na darating 'yong exchange student! Bakit ba kasi wala pa siya hanggang ngayon. Na-traffic kaya siya?" Pahayag ni Yorie na kanina pang umaga sinasabing excited na siyang makita 'yong exchange student from Japan.

"The girl from the other section already went to Japan, pero wala pa dito 'yong dapat na kapalit niya. Hindi kaya...naloko lang ang school natin?" Pahayag ni Theo na isa pang excited makita ang exchange student.

Dumating naman si Cleo na kakagaling lang ng canteen para bumili ng pagkain niya. Umupo muna siya sa tabi ni Yorie bago nagsalita.

"Maybe he's just afraid to go to school. Y'know, afraid of having no friends. Since galing siyang abroad and he doesn't know how to speak our language." Pahayag niya na mukhang may point dahil kung ako 'yon ay matatakot din akong pumasok.

Anong klaseng tao kaya siya? Hindi rin naman mahirap makisama sa mga taga-section namin kasi maku-kwela at mababait ang lahat. I'm willing to be his tour guide once na pumasok na siya at gustuhin niyang mag-tour sa buong school. I think the four of us is willing to do it and make friends with him.

"Why don't we ask our professor his address? Malamang nakalapag na siya sa ng Pilipinas last week pa." Pahayag ni Yorie tsaka kumagat sa burger na binili niya.

Nangalumbaba naman si Theo habang naka-indian seat. "Hmm...pwede rin since we're very curious about that exchange student. Hindi naman masamang bisitahin siya."

"How about you Sophie? What do you think?" Nabigla naman ako sa tanong ni Yorie sakin na katabi ko lang din.

Ibinaba ko ang mga kamay kong may hawak na sandwich. "I...I think its fine." I wonder why I'm getting nervous all of a sudden.

"It's settled then! We'll be going to his house after class!" Yelled Yorie with her burger raised in the air.

I hope nothing weird will happen again. I'll be going with them yet I'm still afraid unexpected things might come. I looked at Theo and thought that we have a guy with us so I don't really have to worry.

I smiled.

"Huh? What? Is there something on my face?" Theo asked out of curiosity while pointing at his face.

"No...I was just wondering how you'll protect everyone if bad things ever come." I explained then continued eating my sandwich.

I was waiting for a loud laugh from him, but never heard any. I looked at him and saw his serious face. When I was about to say that it was just a joke and didn't intend to offend him or anything, Cleo suddenly throws him a sandwich.
