"We have to transfer to another school again." Luci said to her gangmates.

"Why? Kakalipat lang natin 1 month ago, right? What's the matter, Luci?" Nagtatakang tanong ni Lillith.

"Thanatos mafia was already aware of our current location. Aunt Hera suggested that we move to Philippines so that she could keep an eye on us while we continue our studies to one of her school." Luci explained while looking at her phone.

"Why are we avoiding them in the first place? Kaya naman nating ipagtanggol sarili natin. Why don't we just face them and beat the hell out of th---" Bago pa matapos ni Astarte ang sasabihin niya ay tinignan na siya nito ng masama. Napatigil naman ito at napabaling nang tingin sa ibang direksyon.

"Have you forgotten that mafia are the enemy here? There is a clear distinction between gangsters and mafias. Don't be ridiculous and say things that aren't possible!"

Napayuko naman ang mga ito at hindi na nagsalita pa.

She was right. Despite the fact that doing so would've made her appear lame and pathetic, she made the decision to hide in order to protect them. They now realize that she had a harder time making this decision and refrain from asking again.

"When and where?" Shax said, his gaze was fixed on their leader.

Napatingin naman silang lahat kay Luci. Tumayo ito at ipinakita ang kanina pang ginagawa sa cellphone nito.

"Tomorrow, 7:00 pm. We're going to Philippines, as I mentioned earlier. I've already enrolled all of us at Hendrix Academy, one of my Aunt's schools there."

Kitang kita naman ang pagkinang ng mga mata nito dahil sa sinabi ng kanilang leader. Matagal na nilang pangarap na makapag aral sa paaralang 'yon dahil ito ay isa sa mga  kilalang school na pag mamay-ari ng Hendrix, which is yung family ni Luci. It was exclusive only for rich peoples and celebrities.

"But there's a catch. We have to keep our identities hidden. I understand how difficult this will be, but I hope you're all fine with this setup." Tumango naman ang mga ito.

"We're always up for a new challenge, Luci!" Tumatawa namang sagot ni Lillith at hinampas pa ang katabing si Hecate na tahimik na nakikinig.

"We have to pretend to be nerds. I'm sure you all understand what I'm talking about. Glasses that are too big for your face and clothing that are too big for your body." Nakangiti pa nitong sabi.

Para namang pinagbagsakan ng langit at lupa ang lima nitong kaibigan dahil sa narinig.

'I know something bad are going to happen when she smiles like that.' 'yan ang mga salitang umiikot sa utak ng mga babae at napabuntong hininga nalang.

'Nerds? Really? This is going to be tough.' Lillith murmured as she massaged her temples.
