Chapter 1
Naman! I'm totally good at this. School hopping?! I'm so expert with that! Pero yung totoo? Pinarusahan ba ako ni daddy o binigyan ng award?!
"Masasanay ka din."
Tumingin ako sa nagsalita. Oh a nerd! I just gave her a DO I KNOW YOU look pero nginitian niya lang ako sabay ng pagkinang ng gilid ng suot niyang eyeglass. Naglakad siya palayo.
"Weird."
Nagpatuloy lang ang mata ko sa paglilibot sa buong paaralan. Masasabi kong ito na ata ang pinakamalaking eskwelahan na napasukan ko. Dull colors are everywhere pero para sakin maganda kasi dark siya. Kakaiba ang eskwelahan na to sa lahat. Tss.
"Ms. Pendleton , come with me."
Isa namang hindi katandaang babae ang nagsalita. Hindi ba uso dito ang excuse me? Tss. Parang mushroom bigla kung sumulpot!
"Tss. Where are we going?"
"To your dorm and BTW I'm Ms. Eliana Smith. You're guidance counselor."
As if I care. Did I ask who is she? I don't remember something. I am just following her and at last we're here at my dorm. She knocked and someone opened the door. Oh yeah , room mates.
"Hi , Good afternoon. This is Ms. Clint Irish Pendleton, you're new room mate."
"Patricia here."
She is the girl sitting at the floor with her brownish eyes. She's listening to a music kasi nakaheadset siya. Napatingin ako sa isang babae at yung gilid ng salamin na naman niya ang umeksena. She is the weird girl kanina.
"Hi. Welcome. I'm Chantelle."
Nagpakilala siya while her eyes is on a HARRY POTTER book. Really? May sari sariling mundo lang? But it's so good. Walang pakielaman mas maganda!
"Maiwan na kita dito Ms. Pendleton and welcome to our university."
Tinalikuran ko lang siya at pumunta na ako sa kama ko. Well , I'm so excited to rest kahit na 5:00 pm na ko dumating dito. That's life.
"New student from EMPERORS UNIVERSITY? What a coincidence. Student from our rival school. How come?" PATRICIA.
I just ignored what she said. Yah , I know that this ARCANA UNIVERSITY ay kaaway ng dati kong eskwelahan na tinagalan ko lang for about 3 weeks.
"Bakit ka nga pala lumipat dito?"
"Masama ba?"
Tinawanan niya lang ako as if I'm joking for what I said. I gave her my famous death glare pero wala lang sa kanya. What's her problem?
"I just wanna ask , kilala mo ba ang BLACK DAGGER?"
I heard that name. I think kay Shianna ko yun narinig and I think part siya nung grupong yun.
"The racers?" PATRICIA.
"Yes."
Oh fine. Black Dagger are the famous racers in Emperors university. Racers na happy go lucky at laging kumakarera tuwing gabi. Shianna taught me about that thing. She is an expert pagdating sa racing. Queen of the road.
"So, do you know Shianna?"
"Yes. She's my cousin."
Sinabi ko yan habang nakahiga. Her eyes widened. Did I said something wrong? Tss.
"Oh that dumb. She's our bestfriend!"
"Really? How come?"
Bestfriends? Paano nangyari yun? Kung si Patricia maniniwala pa ako pero yung isama mo si Chantelle is somewhat impossible. It's like never mangyayari yun.
"Yes. She is my bestfriend. I know it's too weird because of how I act but we're too close because of who I am."
Fine! Siya na matalinhaga! Kaasar talaga tong babaeng to. She's weird na nga madami pang alam! Tss.
"Hmm. Wanna join us later?"
Ngiting asong sabi sakin ni Patricia at ito namang si Chantelle ay medyo ngumisi at umiling. Nacurious ako kaya naman nagtanong ako.
"Where?"
"We're going to escape! Pupunta tayo sa racing event mamaya nina Shianna! That's exciting!"
The racing event? Nasabi niya sakin yun pero I really don't care talaga sa mga bagay na tungkol sa ibang tao. I love myself more than anything else. That's how I find my life.
"Come and join with us. It is an adventure!"
"Tss. Fine."
Adventure? It so simple to be an adventure. Para sa akin ang adventure ay gulo at away. Ganung klase ng adventure ang masaya. Yung tipong may duguan na sa harapan mo pero wala lang para lang siyang laruan. Naranasan ko na kasi kaya masasabi kong masaya!
"Chantelle , as usual."
"Makakaasa ka Patricia. Easy."
Sabi ni Chantelle sabay hawak sa eyeglass niya at tingin ulit sa libro. Tinuloy ko naman ang kanina ko pang balak na magpahinga. Tss.
I hope something adventurous will happen later.
