THE MASTERS

Dragon XXV

Someone's POV

Napapikit ako at dinama ang hanging malayang tumatama sa mukha ko. I'm currently here in our dorm's terrace, feeling the cold night breeze. Our dorm is on the fifth floor where all the dorms are placed—well, except for the Masters who's dorm is nowhere to be found. Every dorm's door has a label for the identity of the student who's using it. And wala akong mahanap na names nila.

I looked up to the round moon who's giving a dim light in every corner. Dranair Academy is girded with water kaya magandang tumambay dito sa gabi. You can see the reflection of the moon and stars.

"Hey? Aren't you going to sleep?" Napukaw ang atensyon ko sa ka-dorm kong babae na dumungaw sa akin dito sa terrace. She's already wearing her PJ's so I bet matutulog na siya.

"No, hindi pa. Tatambay muna ako rito for a while." Nakangiting sagot ko sa kaniya. Napatango-tango naman siya.

"If that's what you want. Matutulog na kami ah, don't forget to lock the sliding door." Sagot niya kaya tumango na lang ako and say goodnight to them.

I have four dorm mates so we're five all in all. Three girls and two boys but the one is a girl by heart. Okay lang naman na may lalaki kaming kasama dito since he's nice and he respects girls. Feeling ko nga bakla din ang isang iyon but he said that he has a girlfriend na feeling ko ulit imaginary niya lang. I haven't seen him with a girl sa Academy aside sa aming ka-dorm niya.

Nagtagal pa ako nang almost twenty minutes before deciding to sleep. I just took a half bath before laying on my soft bed. It's already 11:35 p.m and I need to wake up early for our class tomorrow. Wala pang one hour na nakatulog ako when I felt someone's staring at me. I scratch my nose before glaring at the one who's standing just beside my bed and looking at me.

"What the fuck is wrong with you? Natutulog na ako oh!" Iritang sita ko sa kaniya but he just scoffed and fixed his black cloak.

"Pinapatawag ka ng Hari." Tanging sagot nito na siyang ikina-taas ng kilay ko. What fuck is wrong with him calling me at this hour?!

"Bukas pa ang schedule kong mag-report sa kaniya ah? Can't he wait for the morning to come?" Inis na tanong ko at ginulo ang buhok sa inis.

"Hindi ko alam, sumama ka na lang." Kibit balikat na sagot nito. 

"As if I have a choice." Kumento ko at padabog na pumunta sa closet para kuhain ang brown cloak ko. Hindi na ako nagpalit ng damit at naghilamos na lang bago sumama sa lalaking ito.
