"HOY! ATHENA! KUNG GUSTO MONG MATUTO, TUMAYO KA NA JAN!" Napaupo naman ako agad sa higaan namin dahil sa sigaw ni Angelina. Nakauniform na sila at ako na lang ang hindi!
Dali dali naman akong naligo at nagbihis. Malapit na daw kasi kaming late. Nang matapos ako sa mga ritwal ko ay lakad takbo ang ginawa namin. Nauna na pala ang mga boys pagdating namin sa classroom. Buti nga ay saktong pagupo namin ay saka naman dumating si Prof. Si prof. Liena daw. Dire diretso itong nagexplain at tiningnan muna ako. Hindi man lang ba ako magpapakilala?
"The Alpha Vampire was the very first vampire and has a psychic connection with other vampires. By the year 2006, vampires had been hunted so intensively and become so rare that Tania Ville 'a mortal' had thought they were extinct. But in the year 2010, the Alpha Vampire uses his psychic connection to encourage vampires to focus on increasing their numbers. Dean kills all the vampires he finds in one nest, but it is unknown how many other nests may have been created or increased their numbers....." Prof. Liena explained. Yes, she is our history class. Ang iba nga ay inaantok na pero ako 'tong nakikinig at tutok na tutok. Nakakapagtaka nga dahil hindi na ako ipinakilala. Pero marami pa ring matang nakatingin saakin.
"....A vampire must feed on blood to survive preferably human blood although they can subsist on animal blood." Lumakad naman ito at tinapik ang mga inaantok na mga kaklase ko bago nagpatuloy.
"We are even compared to zombies, undead...." Napangiwi ako. Ang layo naman nun. "While both vampires and zombies generally belong to the "undead," there are differences between them depending on the mythology from which they emerged."
Bumalik ito sa harap at lumingon ito saakin, pero agad naman nito inalis. "For example, zombies tend to have a lower IQ than vampires, prefer brains and flesh rather than strictly blood, are immune to garlic, most likely have a reflection in the mirror, are based largely in African myth, move more slowly due to rotting muscles , and not necessarily afraid of fire or sunlight."
May tumaas naman ng kamay. "But Prof. we are not afraid of sunlight and fire."
Prof. Liena chuckled. "That's because we are not turned."
Bigla akong kinabahan. Turned ako pero bakit hindi naman ako nasusunog? It's because of the empire blood?
"Mortals said a vampire supposedly has control over the animal world and can turn into a bat, rat, owl, moth, fox, or wolf...." She continued. "But pathetically, that's not true."
Mali nga talaga ang pagkakaalam ko sa mga bampira. Bigla naman umusog sa upuan ko si Angelina at bumulong.
"Marami ka ng nalalaman." She said, i chuckled. Tumango na lang ako at nakinig muli kay professor.
"The former General Braeden Alessandro Bonaventura was also known as the most powerful vampire in our history, but sadly he was in loved with a mortal. He even turned into a human, well that's possible. So, he wished for his child who was born to be a vampire, Vladimir Hades Bonaventura continue the position of his father." Tumingin ako kay Draven. Is that his grandfather?
"Yep. It is his grandfather. And Vladimir is his father." Trit said. Okay, that was uh-oh. His grandfather was a powerful one. And what's his father second name? Hades? Uh. Paborito ba talaga nila ang mga pangalan ng Greek gods?
Hades god of the Dead and Riches and King of the Underworld.
Nang matapos ang history class ay dumiretso na kami sa Cafeteria. Lunch na. Kalahating araw kasi ay History class lang. Dalawang subject nga lang eh. Mamaya naman daw ay Physical Class. Mapapagod ako nito.
Pagpasok pa lang namin ay rinig ko na agad ang bulong bulongan ng mga estudyante. Hinila nanaman ako ni Trit at iniupo sa upuan kung saan sina Havord ay kumakain na.
Tumayo naman si Angelina na nagpresintang umorder saamin. "Ano oorder-in mo, Athena?"
"Chocolate mousse, a slice of pizza and a blood juice." Nakita ko kasi sa menu na may juice pa lang ganoon kaya bigla akong natakam. Bigla naman silang natawa dahil titig na titig ako sa blood juice sa menu.
"Baka matunaw! Maiinom mo din naman iyan." Sabi ni Havord na nakangiti. Ngumiti na lang ako dahil nakakahiya. Mukha akong taong hindi kumain ng ilang taon.
Ilang minuto lang ay dumating na si Angelina na dala ang orders namin kaya agad kong tinakam ang blood juice na iyon. Bigla akong nadismaya dahil hindi naman sya dugo! Parang Iced tea! Kulay dugo nga lang.
"They are not serving a blood here, idiot." Biglang sabi ni Draven kaya sinamaan ko sya ng tingin. Malay ko ba!
"She must undergo in the Dosage, Trit." Saad ni Zeph. Dosage? Uh. I think that will be good. Tumango na lang si Trit. I eat the food, libre daw ni Angelina yun. Eh sa wala akong pera?! Hindi ko nadala. Nakalimutan hehe.
