TAKA siyang tiningnan ni Zero nang makitang gulat na gulat siya. Inabot nito sa kanya ang shampoo na aabutin niya sana kanina.
"I believe this is yours." Taas kilay na inabot nito ang shampoo sa kanya.
"Thanks." She simply thanked him in a monotone. Mahina lang ang boses niya. She doesn't want him to recognize her voice! Or even her face!
"Hoy Zero nanjan ka pala!" Sabay silang napalingon kay Lucian na ngayon ay may bitbit na pushcart. Ang laman nito ay mga canned beer at mga naglalakihang chichirya.
Inakbayan nito si Zero at namamanghang napatingin sa kanya. "Akala ko bibili lang tayo ng stocks mo sa condo mo, nanchichix ka na pala." Tumawa pa ito.
"Umalis ka nga!" Inis na iwinasiwas ni Zero ang kamay sa kaibigan.
"Chill pare." Tawang tawa naman nitong sabi. "Pst, mga tol! Dito!" Tinawag nito ang tatlo pa nilang kaibigan kayat inis nalang siyang bumuntong hininga.
"Hey, I'm Patrick!" Inilahad agad ni Patrick ang kamay sa kanya. Tinanggap niya ito at hindi niya inaasahan ang paghalik nito sa kamay niya.
"What the f*ck?" Lucian murmured. "Hoy foul yan gagu! Chix yan ni Zero!"
She mentally facepalmed. She really need to go now tutal ay ang shampoo na to ang huling nasa listahan niya.
Natatawang umatras si Patrick habang nakataas ang kamay. "Relax, nagpapakilala lang ako." Biro nito.
"I need to go." Mahina niyang paalam sa mga ito at itutulak na sana niya ang pushcart niya nang magsalita si Zero.
"What's your name?" Tanong sa kanya ni Zero. Mahina namang tumawa ang mga kaibigan niya.
"Yun oh!" Biro pa ni Samuel. Nangingiti na umiling nalang si Deus habang ang tatlong lalaki ay pabiro pang tinulak si Zero.
She sighed. "Leigh."
Tinitigan siya ng lima at hinihintay pa ata ng mga ito na sabihin niya ang buong pangalan.
"Howell." Daia muttered her mother's middle name when her mother was young.
"Do you have a facebook or an Instagram account?" Nakangiting tanong ni Lucian sa kanya pero umiling lang siya.
"I'll go now." Paalam niya muli sa mga ito at itinulak na niya ang pushcart niya papunta sa counter.
Habang naglalakad ay narinig niya pa ang biruan ng mga ito.
"Ang bobo mo dumiskarte tol!" Rinig niya si Lucian
"What's your name amputa." Natatawa namang saad ni Patrick.
"Her blue eyes are beautiful tho."
Napailing nalang siya. Looks can be deceiving. She smirked. Successful pala ang disguise niya dahil walang sinuman ang mag-iisip na nagpapanggap lang siyang isang hampaslupa.
When she arrived home, she placed her groceries on their designated spot.
KINAGABIHAN ay nireview niya ang presentation nilang dalawa ni Tiara kahit na sa lunes palang ang reporting. She printed a copy of their presentation on a bond paper nang sa gayun ay hindi na sila tatalikod pa sa audience kapag babasahin ang mga partikular na parte ng presentation.
After reviewing, she immediately paid attention to her laptop. She checked her YT Channel and saw how her subscribers increased in numbers. She smiled while looking at the number of subscribers.
She decided to record a new cover to show her gratitude. Music really calms her, it is the only happiness she have right now.
She took her mask from its holder and wore it. She don't introduce herself when shooting a video on youtube simply because she dont want them to recognize her sole voice. People only are familiar with her singing voice.
She then strummed her guitar and started singing...
Save your smile
Everything fades through time
Im lost for words
Endlessly waiting for you
Stay with me
Yes i know, this cannot be..
As Morning Comes,
I say good bye to you when im done.. to the Sun
Because ive been waiting for you, waiting for this..
Dream to come true, just to be with you.
And if die, remember this line..
"Im always here, guarding you life."
I am yours
Im completely trapped in your soul
Dazed and Confused
Swept away with your own words.
Youre my star
Invincible,haunting and far
Grace under fire
Someone is building my hurt, in my heart.
Because ive been waiting for you, waiting for this..
Dream to come true, just to be with you.
And if die, remember this line..
"Im always here, guarding you life."
Slowly falling into you
im obsessed with the fact that im with you
I can't breathe without you.
Because ive been waiting for you, waiting for this..
Dream to come true, just to be with you.
And if die, remember this line
"Im always here, guarding you life."
Song: Synesthesia by Mayonnaise
MONDAY came. Daia drove her car to the University at an early hour so that people won't see her come out of the car. She wouldn't want someone to realize that she's not who she pretend to be, an ugly and a cheap nerd to be exact.
She waited for almost 30 minutes before students started to appear. Not long after, Tiara arrived.
"Napaka-aga mo talaga." Pabiro siyang inirapan nito. Napailing nalang siya sa tinuran nito. Then their teacher arrived.
"Goodmorning class! I am here to announce na imomove na ang Intramural meet natin next next week because our neighboor University, which is the Abryne University, decided to move the Interhigh next next month. We only have 2 weeks to prepare for the Intramurals." The teacher explained.
She earned different reactions. Merong natuwa at excited, merong nanlumo at kinabahan, at meron ding walang pakialam tulad ni Daia. She stared emotionlessly at the teacher talking in front.
"...Grade 7 and 12 vs Grade 8 and 11 vs Grade 9 and 10." The teacher finishes off her announcement and then told the players to go to the covered court for the orientation.
