Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 50

It's been almost a month since I've patched up my friendship with Riley. Almost a month since my relationship with Brice. And right now I can say without a doubt that I love the boy. I mean we haven't said I love you yet, I haven't rather. He said it two weeks ago and my heart flip shitless. I was not able to say it back because Zayn just pop up and to be honest I was thankful for his presence. I like Sy very much but I wasn't that sure about that big L word until now. I was just waiting for the opportunity to say it and boy I am excited to see how he would react.

"Adams."

"Hmm?" His brow arch with my reply. "Bakit?"

"Wala ka bang planong bumaba?" My eyes narrowed outside and I notice na nakapark na pala yung kotse ni Sy. "Where did your brain take you this time?"

"Yeah yeah whatever Brice." I huffed and went out of the car. "Are you ready for the exams today?" I asked. We've been flooded with exams and projects since graduation is already around the corner. At last I'll be able to hold my own diploma.

"Of course! What do you take me for?"The usual banter we have everyday continued as we proceed to our first period. After weeks of going official with him I am now used to the stares we are receiving every time we walked with our hands entwined like this.

Pagkaupo ko pa lang Jairus is already standing beside me with his open hand laid in front of my eyes. "Give me back my pen Azul." It was his favorite pen and I stole it last night while we are doing our assignments. I can already feel Brice giving us confused look.

"It's just a pen." I said rolling my eyes and fished the said pen inside my backpack. "There, happy?"

"What was that?" His jaw is tense and his mood just drop like a thousand notch.

"Huh?" When he did not say anything to clarify it I opt to add. "I took it from him yesterday." He's at it again. His random mood swings. We were okay minutes ago now he looks angry over something I didn't even know. Anyways he'll come around. 'Di ako kayang tiniisin nyan so I'm not really worried.

"Anong klaseng exam yun?" Zayn is complaining non-stop the moment the bell rang. "Buti nalang talaga at ang talino ko." Huh! Talk about being narcissistic.

He's randomness and playful demeanor made me smile until I felt like someone is looking at us. I whipped my head so fast I felt I'll be having a whiplash. "Bakit A?" Dinig kong tanong sa akin ni Vince pansin ko rin yung pagtigil ng iba sa paglalakad. I heighten my senses but I can't feel his or her presence anymore.

"Nothing I just thought I saw a shadow from that three." I gestured the location using my head. But obviously no one is there anino na nga lang yung nakita ko. "Maybe I am just seeing things as I am super hungry already." I tried to pacify them 'cause it's like I just flip their switch and now they're on their gangster mode.

"Right I think I could even chug a pail of cold water in one go." My brother as always saves my butt. I know for sure he saw my eyes waver a little.

"Tama sobrang nakakauhaw yung exam grabe." Zayn started walking and the rest of us follow like nothing happen except me and Jairus. By just looking at my eyes I know we'll have the talk later.
