Throne High School

Well Then - CHAPTER 24

( Chain's POV )

"Huwaaaa! Ang daming sweets!!", Nakatunganga lang ako habang nakatingin sa isang candy store dito sa amusement park. Pano nga ba nagkaroon dito ng candy store? Aba malay ko! Bahala na si batman. Basta bibili nalang ako.

Teka, magkano nga ba pera ko?
Tinignan ko muna wallet ko bago ako pumasok sa candy shop, actually... May dala lang akong 500. Eh 100 pesos bawat ride dito eh! Tapos 30-50-100 pesos yung mga candy! Pano niyan! Kailangan ko pamo mag iwan ng dalawang daan!

....Hindi kaya pwede magnakaw dito?

"Huy Chain!"

"OHMYGOSH-- Ano ba Kuya Zemi! Gusto mo bang masapak o gusto mo bang masapak? Choose wisely!"

"Wisely."

"Wag kang KJ. Minsan minsan lang naman to oh!"

"Edi wow. Ano ba kasi ginagawa mo dito?", Nakatayo at kinakausap ka malamang.

"Ano kasi, bibili sana ako ng candy, kaso lang gusto ko rin naman sumakay dun sa mga rides. 100 kasi per ride. At 30-50-100 yung mga sweets. Pero, 500 lang dala ko noh! Tsaka kailangan kong mag tira ng 200! May pinag iipunan ako kasi!"

"Hay naku..."

At naka poker face lang siya. Wow! Tinanong mo sakin kung anong ginagawa ko dito, tapos 'yan lang pala sasabihin mo. Ang galing hah. Dapat sinabi ko nalang na nakatayo lang ako dito at kinakausap kita! Mas logical naman kasi yun diba? Eto kasing si Kuya Zemi di nakaka intindi ng Tagalog.

Teka, na-realize ko lang na wala palang sense sinabi ko. Oh well!

"Alam mo, ang kuripot mo talaga! Ano ba kasi yung pinag iipunan mo? Pag-ready ba 'yan para sa college? Pinag iipunan mo ba 'yan para mag tayo ng sariling candy store? Para ba 'yan sa future?", Ang dami naman yatang pagpipilian diyan. Di ba pwedeng lahat?

"Hah? hindi noh!"

"Eh ano nga?"

"Wala. Trip ko lang mag ipon. Naisip ko lang."

"..."

"..."

( Tim's POV)

I stared at Mia for a few minutes. She was emotionless and she doesn't seem amused. This place is called an amusement park for a reason, just saying.

After that roller coaster ride, she looked bored. Even before that. I was kind of expecting her to hug my arm and scream in fear, NOT that i want her to do that but, she seemed like falling asleep instead of freaking out or showing any fear.

...Maybe i should tell her what i noticed though.

"Hey Mia."

"Hmm?"

"Not to be rude but, you've changed a bit."

"Ikaw rin naman eh."

"Heh. I guess you're right. But what i'm trying to say is, you've changed in a slightly bad way. Not that i'm trying to sound rude but, i never saw you laugh the entire day."

"Eh ano naman problema dun? Nakaka boring din naman kasi eh. Besides, ano ba rason kung bakit gusto kong pumunta tayo dito? Edi para maka-relax tayo at mag have fun. Pero i'm really not having that much fun. Depende naman kasi sa mood ko."

"That seems so... Unlike you."

She giggled, "Bakit? Are you interested in me?"

"Pfft. No. Why can't you just go back to being the hyper and clumsy Mia."

"Being that kind of person is just plain boring and weird for others. Also, that Mia is just resting.
In peace."

"...Okay, that's slightly scaring me."

I sighed. I hope this doesn't last that long.

"Okay! Maganda na rin yun!"

Eh? May? What is she doing here?

Wait...

Dont tell me...

"Ano ba naman 'yan! Nahirapan ako dun ah. Next time hindi na talaga ako makikipag pustahan pa sayo! Hindi na!"

"Woah, relax. Ngayon lang naman eh. Masuwerte kang yun 'lang' ang pinagawa ko sayo. Next time kasi, dont lose."

"Wait.. Did you just act like that for the whole day just because you lost to a bet?"

"Oo. May problema ka ba dun?"

"Uto-uto ka kay Tonya." I simply answered. "Lah! Grabe ka sakin! Ikaw kaya tawagin ko uto-uto diyan."

"I won't get affected anyway. Since ni minsan hindi ako nagpa-uto dahil alam kong mapapahiya lang ako. Get what i'm saying?"

"O sige na nga.. Ikaw na magaling. Ikaw naman talagi kasi lahat eh."

Damn. That kinda made me flustered. Tim James! Focus you idiot!

"Kuya Timmy!! Ate Mia!!"

( Tonya's POV )

"Kuya Timmy!! Ate Mia!!"

Here come's the kid. Cute parin. Pero whatever, she acts like a kid and everyone's used to it. Somehow.

"Patay tayo niyan!", Sigaw niya. "Patayin kita una diyan eh. Ano ba kasi nangyari?"

"Nandito si Ma'am Kate. lagot tayo niyan!"

"Hindi ka naman siguro nakita eh, noh?"

"Oo nga, kaso lang, baka alam niyang pumunta tayo dito! Kaya kailangan na natin bumalik ASAP!"

"Okay fine."

---

Tinawag na namin yung iba pang kasama para bumalik sa rooms namin, naguusap-usap lang habang papunta sa rooms, but unexpectedly hindi namin napansin na nasa harap pala namin si Ma'am Kate

"Eehem."

"Ahmm.. Ma'am, Hindi po kami pumunta sa amusement park! Promise! Nag...ahmm.. Nag libot lang po kami dito.. Ehehehe.."

Well shit. Best excuse ever Chain, konti nalang talaga bibigyan kita ng isang malakas na palakpak sa mukha.

"Hay... Sige, pagbibigyan ko kayo for now. Besides, nakita ko na kayo kanina pa. Now, go to your rooms."

"Eh kung nakita niyo kami kanina po, diba dapat pinagalitan niyo po kami?", Pagsabi ko, napansin kong parang nag-flinch si ma'am. Heh, weird.

"Ahmm.. No reason, anyway pumunta nalang nga kayo sa room niyo para makapagpahinga.", And after that, umalis nalang si ma'am. "Ang weird naman ng kilos ni Ma'am Kate, di kaya may tinatago siya?"

"No shit, sherlock."

"Grabe ka naman sa'kin Kuya Timmy!"

"Eh ano, bata."

"Huwag ka ngang sumabat Kuya Zemi!"

"Oh, tama na. Balik na tayo sa room natin baka pagalitan pa tayo ni Ma'am Kate eh."

"Kuya Satsu! kanina ka pa quiet diyan ah! Wala naman nagno-noisy eh!"

"Nothing, nag-iisip lang naman ako."

Tumawa nalang ako, Nang nasa room na kami, suddenly someone threw a pillow at me. "..Sino yun?"

"Hehehehe. Pillow Fight!!" Sigaw ni May. "Sa lahat ba ng--", My words were interrupted, as she threw another pillow at me.

"Sige, you're on"
