Greatest Witch

Kabanata 4

Restricted

It is not easy to be one of the Supremes. The six of us became the hot topic of the whole campus. Maraming usap-usapan ang pagala-gala sa buong akademya na hindi nakaaya-aya sa aking pandinig kagaya na lamang nang maging isang kontrabida sa buhay nang apat na tinatanggalang tao sa paaralang ito. 

"She, hello?" I didn't notice that Yel is already waving her hand in front of me. 

"Sorry, what was it?" 

"I said, how do you feel to be part of the Supremes?" Her eyes twinkles in curiosity. 

"Uh, I actually don't know for now. I am not certain about that, I'm gifted or something. All I know is I'm a witch, that's all and nothing more." I reason. 

Yelien nodded. "Agree but I was never wrong by guessing it... and here they goes." 

I look at the direction she was looking, the famous people. The green, grey, blue and red uniforms are coming in our table. In blink of an eye, Liam is already sitting beside Yel. Grayeh clicking her arms to Enso that he obviously dislike. Lastly, the red-guy with annoying smirk started touching my food. 

"So you like potatoes, huh?" He said as he eat my fries. 

"I didn't know you eat them, Flame. That was weird of you." Grayeh stated. 

"Yeah, it is really unusual of you." Liam grins. 

"What's with the grin, Jackson? You look like you gonna slaughter someone tonight." Yel toasted him with her words. 

Damn, girl. Her words and feelings towards Liam is burning. I smile a little bit when I heard her say that. 

"You actually look beautiful, smiling." Liam said in a nice way. 

I saw Grayeh roll her eyes in the air. "Are we having lunch right now or flirting with the newbie? Men with their twisted words is ugh." 

"Looks like someone got into her trust issues again." Parinig ni Widerick. 

"I know you are talking to me, Mr. MVP." 

I look at Yelien. Mabilis siyang ngumiti sa akin. 

"I'll tell you later." She mouthed. 

"Hey, kid. Can you tell Rosel to give us food here, for lunch? Thanks, bud." Widerick said to the kid wearing a black uniform.

"Ang hilig mo talagang magtawag nang bata ano? Puwede mo namang sabihan si Rosel na bigyan tayo nang pagkain dito gamit 'yang dragon mo." 

Widerick glare at Liam. "Not my Lewtol. She's sleeping fine. Don't get her involved here." 

"Chill, man. Everyone is getting hot." Enso said, sweating. 

Naptingin ako sa buong cafeteria, lahat nang taong nandidito ay pinagpapawisan at maski ako ay halos maligo nasa sariling pawis at hindi mapakali sa kinauupuan. Ilang sandali pa ay napawi ang init na iyon nang sumipol si Grayeh at nawala nang parang bula ang mga pawis naming lahat. 

"You never know the word chill, Widerick. You always like the hot seat for everyone. You are really hot because of who you are but come to think of it, it's the reason why some girls doesn't attract at long period of time because of that temper of yours." Grayeh said. 

Enso started clapping his hands. He put made an award figurine out of the water and give it to Grayeh. 

"Everyone, we witness another speech from Miss Grayeh Damen. Let's give her around of applause!" 

Everyone in the room claps their hand. Hindi mawalawala ang masakit na tingin ni Grayeh kay Enso, ganoon din kay Widerick na halos gilitan na niya sa leeg si Enso mula sa kinauupuan niya. 

"For the record, Widerick with zero wins and Damen got three points. See you in our next season, caio!" 

In one snap, Enso vanished in our sight. 

"Damn, some things never get old." Liam said, ang kamay nito ay nasa upuan ni Yel. Why I feel that Liam is making moves to Yel but Yel already knows about and she's just pretending?

"Girl, stop staring at them everyone knows they're in LQ for years." Si Grayeh ang nagsalita habang kumakain nang mga gulay. 

"Who knows, baka may something." Dagdag ni Widerick. I can feel his presence and breathe behind me and for some reason I started catching my breathe again. 

This is really weird, every time he's near I feel like there's no air within me. 

"I like how your body reacted to my presence, young lady." 

"I have a name, Mister." 

I inhale to calm myself but deep inside it is really something, more deeper and foreign feelings. 

"That's the punishment for breaking some rules." He whisper and everything in the room started changing. The place started to crumble and changed into a garden with rainbow colors of trees, flowers and every organism that can be seen in the ground. 

"What are you doing?" I asked, catching my breath and my palms started to sweat and I feel the cold inside my body. 

"You reach the restrictions I set, young lady." 

Ang lugar na tinatayuan ko ngayon ay nagsimulang umikot at ang bahangharing kulay kanina ay napalitan nang kulay pula. Saang sulok man ay lahat ay may tintang pula. Sa isang iglap ay may lumabas na dragon mula kung saan. Ang kabuuan nito ay kulay bahaghari ngunit ang mga pakpak at bunganga nito ay kulay pula. Kapansin-pansin ang mga letrang nakatali sa kaniyang leeg. 

"Lewtol." I read. 

"Walang babaeng nakakakita kay Lewtol simula nang naging akin siya. Lahat nang babaeng nadapuan nang mga mata kong ito ay napapasaakin dahil sakaling magtama ang dalawang pares nang mga mata ay alam kong makikita ko ulit ang alaga kong dekada ko nang hindi nakikita." Hinaplos nito ang aking mukha, sa bawat pagdampi nang kaniyang kamay ay magkahalo ang lamig at init. 

"How could you be in this illusions of mine? How can you summon my pet? How could you stir every storms inside me?"

"Ano'ng pinagsasabi mo, Widerick? Please, let me out of this." 

"No..." He whisper. 

"A little more." He added and look at Lewtol.

My head suddenly feeling a headache. It was hurting a little and every seconds strike the pain worsen. 

"Flame! Stop! Flame!" I heard some people shouting, I tried to find where is it but everything started blurry, echoing, the heat and cold started mixing and I don't know how to feel. 

"What in the Earth is happening!"

"Damn, damn, this can't be real!"

"Call the HR. Call, Senyora Ardeur now!"

"This gonna be stop!" 

My heart beats starting to beat slow and my breathe, my chest started aching and everything. I was about to close my eyes when I saw a small crestal ball out of nowhere. Someone whisper something and I open my mouth to speak when the small crystals enter inside me and all I remember is the heat and cold of his embrace.
