I got up from my bed at 6am. Ahh! This is my second day in my new school. And I am not enjoying it. It seems like a normal day for me, walang bago.

Pagkatapos nga pala ng deduction show ni Mercado kahapon ay dinala na sa presinto ang salarin sa kaganapan kahapon. Nagpasalamat naman ang ilan sa kanya dahil nireveal nya kung sino ang may sala. Karamihan ay humangang bigla dahil she looked into it very carefully. Though hindi nya nasabi lahat ng details napaamin pa rin nya ang salarin.

Pagkatapos rin non ay lumabas na sya at sinalubong ko naman. I have a promise right? I needed to report her because she assaulted someone, remember?

But it went like this...

Nang makalabas na sya ng room ay agad ko naman syang sinalubong.

"Hey!" I called her kasi hindi nya yata ako napansin o sinadya nyang hindi ako pansinin.

"Don't worry, hindi ko nalilimutan ang usapan natin. I just have to go somewhere." dere-deretso lang sya sa paglalakad.

"You're escaping from me. I knew it!" so, hinawakan ko sya sa braso just to make sure na hindi sya makakawala.

"It's not making sense kung tatakas ako. Isipin mo nga. We're classmates, you can report me whenever you want. I will not escape you. And please, stop holding me. You're making me uncomfortable."

I felt shy sa huli nyang sinabi. Hindi ko naisip yun until she have said it.

"My bad. Okay, I'll just go around with you, tapos irereport na kita bago ako umuwi."

I don't know kung anong nangyayari sakin at natiis ko pang samahan tong babaeng to kung saan para lang maireport sya.

She didn't answer at nanatili lang kaming tahimik hanggang makarating kami sa—

"Is this the girls' dorm?"

"Yup. You can't come in since hindi pwede ang boys sa loob. You can wait here outside. May kukunin lang ako." she said bago tuluyang pumasok sa loob nito.

What now? Baka hindi na yun bumalik! Mamuti lang mata ko kahihintay sa babaeng yun!

But after a few minutes ay lumabas rin sya.

"I don't break promises unlike what you think. So, shut the thought will you?"

"Are you some sort of a mind reader?" she walked passed by me so I started walking, as well.

"Nope. It's just too obvious from your face. And I saw you glancing multiple times at your wrist watch bago pa man ako makarating sayo. That explains it all, I think."

Napakunot nalang ang noo ko dahil parang lahat ng gagawin mo nalalaman nya.

"Now you're idolizing me? Oh, scratch that. Kanina pa pala noong nirereveal ko kung sino ang salarin, hindi ba? I saw you looking at me nang nakaawang yang bibig mo. You're amazed?" she asked and glanced at me.

"Okay, I admit it! I'm easily amazed sa mga taong katulad mo. I love reading mystery books, so that's why. And it somehow make me feel wanted to be part of an investigation group."

That's the truth. She may have knew it since she's a deducing freak and some sort of a mind reader.

"Really? I didn't see it coming. We have the same choice of interests." she slightly smiled and that surprised me.

"You're the ice queen right?" I asked out of nowhere.

"Yup, they call me that way. Why?"
