I don't know how many hours had already passed. The only thing that I can remember is that, when sir Deimos disappeared I immediately collapsed and lie on the grass because of exhaustion.

After some time, when I felt my body being calm and well rested, returning to it's normal state with no sign of exhaustion I got up. I checked the clock and noticed 2 hours and 30 minutes had already passed, meaning we only have 30 minutes left before the said 'worse task'. I feel like I'm still not in a very well state so I decided to head to Cafeteria first to replenish my energy.

I'm already heading to cafeteria when I spotted Jessica, Clarisse, Thalia, Blane, Lawrence and Laurence circling together below a tree that made my eyebrows furrow.

"Nasaan si Nathan?" Tanong ko sa kanila, gulat naman silang napatingin sa akin. Hindi na nila ako napansin dahil sa chikahan nilang lahat psh.

Nakita ko naman sina Jessica, Thalia at Clarisse na ngumiti ng nakakaasar kaya agad ko silang inirapan.

Lawrence shrugged. "Hindi ko alam, humihiga lang yun kanina eh tapos biglang umalis."

Tumango tango naman ako. "Sige, pupunta muna ako ng cafeteria, kailangan ko kasing kumain." Sabi ko sa kanila. Tumayo naman agad si Blane.

"Sasamahan na kita Athena." Bigla bigla ko na lang naalala yung mga pinagsasabi nina Clarisse kanina kaya mabilis akong umiling. "Wag na, kaya ko namang mag isa." I don't want to sound harsh that's why I smiled at him reassuringly although I'm certain it looked like a wince instead. Blane nodded hesitantly but I didn't gave him the time to answer. I immediately turned around and left.

What was that? why did I suddenly feel so awkward? I shook my head a little too much that made me kind of dizzy. I must be just tired especially mentally that a simple thing already bothered me. I have a great control of my emotion including my mind. I must not let their words get in to my mind that easily. Blane's just a bestfriend, not more than bestfriend and not a lover.

Malapit na ako sa cafeteria, at ibig sabihin non madadaanan ko yung favorite place ko. At hindi nga ako nagkakamali, nakita ko si Nathan na nakaupo sa isang bench. I felt different when I saw him staring at nothing, he looked really distant, cold, out of place and . . . what I think like hurt. I have an idea of what's bothering him but it's vague, I'm not entirely sure and I don't want to assume any further than that.

Dumiretso na ako sa Cafeteria at bumili ng tatlong Soda, tatlong slice ng pizza at isang slice ng Blueberry cake. Pagkatapos kong pumila at bumili, dumiretso ako sa kung nasaan si Nathan. Kumunot naman ang noo ko tsaka napailing dahil kung ano yung pwesto at hitsura niya nung nakita ko siya kanina eh ganun parin ngayon.

Napagdesisyunan kong lapitan siya at hindi ko alam kung anon pumasok sa kokote ko at tinapon ko sa kaniya yung isang soda.

"What the fuck?!" I winced when I hit him in the head. His angry face turned to look at my direction and his expression immediately changed to surprise, confusion and kind of softness. "A-Athena? What are you doing here?"
