Chapter 2
Lumabas kami sa isang bulwagan na puno ng mga estudyanteng naka itim na uniporme. Wait. What? Maybe lower years? Pero 1st year ako while Cedric is 5th year and Maven is 3rd year and we're all wearing white. Kami lang tatlo ang naka puti at pinag titinginan dahil halos sa gitna ng bulwagan gumawa ng lagusan si Cedric.
"Gail." Pag kuwa ni Maven ng aking atensiyon kasabay ng paghila saakin upang sundan si Cedric. "What a grand entrance. Kahit kailan talaga." Iling na bulong ni Maven habang papalapit kami sa unahan at doon ko nakitang may iilan pang mga naka puting uniporme maliban saamin.
"Where's my bags Maven?" Bulong ko dito ng mapansin kong wala siyang hawak na kahit ano.
"Cedric teleported it to your room." Bulong nito pabalik.
"Stop flirting Maven umayos ka ng lakad." Sita ng isang babaeng nadaanan namin ng muntik nabunggo ni Maven. She looks fierce with her green pixie cut hair and a foot taller than me. Isa rin siya sa mga nakasoot ng puting uniporme.
"I'm not flirting. Usog nga that's our seat." They move a bit to give us space and I sat beside her and Maven on my right.
"Hi I'm Gwen nice to meet you." She whisper near me with a smile and an extended hand. I was about to reach her hand when Maven hold my elbow, stopping me.
"Nice try Gwen" His voice drips with sarcasm as he lower his head to look at her. "Her magic is lightning. Never touch her skin." Maven warns me.
When I turn my gaze back to Gwen sure enough, she is smirking at me with electric current visibly flowing on her neck and to the side of her face. To hell with her hindi dahil pinili kong hindi gamitin ang kapang yarihan ko hindi ko na kayang protektahan ang sarili ko. With her hand still extended, I locked my eyes on her and shook her hand smirking. Onti onting nawala ang ngiti nito at napatingin sa kama'y naming dalawa. Ramdam ko ang ingit sa pagitan nito na onti onti niyang nilalakasan.
"Nice to meet you Gwen. I'm Gail." Hinigpitan ko ang hawak ko sakaniya at ng makita kong ngumiwi siya saka ko lang ito binitawan. Nang sandaling bitawan ko ang kamay nito rinig ko ang pag pipigil ng tawa ni Maven kasama na rin ng lalaking katabi ni Gwen. Yah jokes on you I am more prepared than you think. You can't enter the Knights without a powerful shield.
"I'm Dave a 4th year and best friend of Maven." Natataaang pakilala ng lalaking katabi ni Gwen.
"And I'm Theo." Sunod na pakilala ng lalaking katabi nito na siyang nag lahad din ng kamay saakin. They are twins.
"Oh shut up guys." Inis na singit ni Maven sabay hawi sa kamay nila.
Muka naman silang mabait kaya sinuklian ko nalang sila ng ngiti. Mula ngayon hindi na ako agad agad tatanggap ng handshake. Scary. mga burgis na power tripping.
Nag simula na ang ceremony kung saan binati ang lahat ng estudyante at propesor.
"Maligayang pagbalik Stoneridge Students and welcome new students to Stoneridge Academy!" Kasabay ng pag sasalita ni Headmaster Valrose ang palakpakan at pag putok ng mga confetti ngunit walang ni isang nahulog sa sahig.
The ceremony is just a formality and a chance for new students to know things about the Academy. Ang dorm ng mga babae ay nasa East wing samantalang ang dorm naman ng mga lalaki ay nasa West wing. Pinakilala rin ang mga professors at mga student representatives kada year level.
