Amara Liriope
Zion
"Bakit ganun?" Narinig 'kong bulong ng isang hindi pamilyar na boses, her sweet voice echoing like an angel's song in my ears. "He looks so peaceful while he's asleep, I wonder what he's dreaming about."
Tipid akong napangiti, can't explain why a simple thought like that makes me smile.
"He's so beautiful," Bulong pa niya't saglit na bumuntong-hininga. "I can't take my eyes off him."
Who is this girl? I whispered as curiosity got the best of me. I want to see her face.
Unti-unti 'kong dinilat ang mga mata ko, expecting to see a pair of beautiful eyes but instead, I woke up just to see myself lying on the see of grasses, sleeping under the moonlight.
Where is she? Sabi ko't 'tila nalungkot nang walang nakita. Panaginip lang ba iyon?
Napatitig ako sa lawang nasa harapan ko, the water was showing my pained reflection as I said..
What was that?
Agad akong nagising, releasing deep breaths as my heart won't stop from beating loudly.
So loud that I did not notice Selene opening my room's door, she walked fast to my bed with a concerned expression as she said, "Zion, are you ok? What happened? Did you have a nightmare?"
Napatitig ako kay Selene, shocked and amusement written on my face as I stared at her purple eyes.
"What? Are we just going to stare at each other?" Mataray na sabi niya, her face slowly turning to it's normal expression as her purple eyes stared at me with irritation. "Whatever, I'm going back to my room. Call me when you need anything." Aniya't padabog na sinara ang pintuan ng kwarto ko.
Napatulala ako, 'tila hindi pa din makapaniwala sa nakita 'kong expression ni Selene. I can't seem to forget how her lovely purple eyes stared at me with a concerned expression.
That's a first!
"Burger," Someone mumbled beside me, making me glance at the other side of my bed as Caleb's face flushed right in front of me. "Gusto ko ng burger."
"Ah!" Malakas akong bumagsak sa
kama, terrified to see Caleb's face so close to me as I realized that we are sleeping at exactly the same bed. The same bed!
I'm sharing my bed with a man!
"I didn't know you have a thing with boys, Zion." Sabi ng maliit na boses harapan ko, making me look at Heather who's grinning widely at me as her deep brown eyes twinkled with naughtiness. "Well, good luck with that. I wish you two the best, mwaa!"
"Hey!" Sabi ko't hahabulin sana siya kaso naalala 'kong pilay nga pala ako't wala akong laban sa isang bubuyog.
"Hindi nga ako bubuyog!" Inis na sabi niya't saglit akong binalikan para batukan. Aray. "Ayan, buti nga sayo!" Aniya't umalis na.
I thought fairies are friendly? I mumbled as I rub my poor head. Heather is such a bully.
Napalingon ako sa kwintas ko nang muli itong kumislap, making my brows furrowed as I remember my dream.
