Narrator's Pov
Bumukas ang malaking gate ng school. Tatlong kotse ang pumasok. Mabilis naman na nagsidatingan ang mga chismoso't chismosa at pinaligiran ang mga kotse.
"Look, it's the Robinsons." Nagbulong bulungan ang mga tao. Sa katunayan, you don't need to go to the classes because as long as you pass the exam you're good.
"Iilan lang sila nagpapakita. Ilan na nga ba sila?"
"Meron ang mga tatlong Ios, tapos yung magkapatid na Trijes at ang magkambal na si Robin at Raven. I don't blame you na hindi mo sila matandaan, hindi kasi sila madalas lumalabas sa lungga nila. Once in a week, lang ata sila lumalabas eh."
Lumiit ang mga mata nila ng may nakita silang bitbit na babae si Green.
"Green is carrying a girl."
"What? Sino siya?"
"Girlfriend niya? Hindi pwede!"
"Izeiah?" She only purred and turned to make herself more comfortable.
"She's asleep. Leave her be." Sabi ni Blue at binuhat ang bag ni Izeiah.
"Why can she sleep while I can't?" Angal naman nito.
"Cause she's still a baby while you're already a toddler. Can't you see the difference? You're a little bit more mature than her." Ren explained.
"Urghh."
"Kailangan pa ba nating pumunta sa office?"
"Well, yeah. We haven't even checked in yet since school started, and that was a month ago."
"We should attend more classes." Sumangayon naman ang iba.
"So what do you say 5 times a month?" Napaisip naman sila at mukhang kontento naman sila doon.
"No problem."
Izeiah opened her eyes.
"Finally!" Masiglang sabi ni Green. Bumaba naman ito sa bisig niya at humikab hikab.
"I'm starving. Can't we go get food first?"
"No. We have to get things done quickly so we'll be free for the day." Sabi ni Blue and checked over the papers.
"Fine." She shrugged. Lumapit siya kay Robin.
"Do you have any chocolates with you?" Binigyan ni Robin si Izeiah ng kitkat na bite size. Hindi naman umangal si Izeiah at kinuha ito sakanya.
Pagkadating na pagkadating nila sa office, mabilis na humiga siya sa sofa at matutulog na sana ng nagsalita si Blue.
"Izeiah, this meeting will take awhile, if you want you can wander around?" Napaisip namn ito at napagpasyahan na this would be a great time to deal with seeing Green's frowning face. She knew he was jealous of her because she doesn't need to numb her butt for hours, she was excused.
"Sure."
As usual, she doesn't know her directions. Nawawala nanaman siya. Well, sino pa ba ang surpresa sa katangahan na nalalagyan niya ngayon?
Problemado siyang tumingin sa paligid niya. Pero puro malalaking buildings lang ang nakikita niya at iilan lang mga studiyante.
"I'm so lost." Napaupo siya sa lupa and pouted.
"Iha? Bakit ka nakaupo diyan? Ang dumi kaya diyan. Halika tumayo ka" merong magasawang matanda ang lumapit sakanya. They look familiar but she couldn't quite get a hold of what's hinting on why they really look familiar.
"I'm lost." Nakatungong sabi niya. Tumawa naman ang mga ito.
"Well, bakit ka kasi tumakbo sa mga magulang mo? Iyan tuloy nawawala ka."
"Old lady, I don't have any parents but my friends are with me."
"Alam mo ba kung saan mo sila huling nakita?"
Tumango tango siya. "Office."
Napatingin naman ang dalawa sa isa't isa. Parang narealize na kung anong nangyayare sa dalagang nakasalubong nila. Nagsalubong ang kilay ng matandang babae.
"Huwag mong sabihin na dito ka magaaral?"
"Nailed it." Nakangiting sabi ni Izeiah.
"Bakit hindi nalang sa iba? Bakit hindi nalang sa Izeiah High? Mga masasamang tao ang pumupunta dito. Mapahamak ka pa." Napatingin naman si Izeiah sa sinabi ng matanda.
"I don't have anything against that. I'm totally fine with it. By the way, old lady, do you have a chocolate? I'm starving." Napatawa nalang ang matandang lalake dahil sa sinagot ni Izeiah habang pinalo naman ng matandang babae ang asawa nito.
Ibibigay na sana ng matandang lalake ang isang lollipop na nasa bulsa niya ng kinuha ng matandang babae ito at ibinalik sa bulsa nito.
"Little one, tell your friends that this school is too dangerous. You should move to another one. I'm afraid you will be exposed to dangers that aren't meant for you." Muntik ng napakunot si Izeiah.
'This old lady refused to give me candy. How rude!' Izeiah thought.
"I don't think I can do that." Sagot nito.
"I will give you a candy if you switch school? Infact, a candy factory if you want."
'Wow, this old lady must be rich.' She imagined the old lady sitting on her gold chair while wearing a crown. With a lollipop in her mouth while wearing sunglasses. Then money is falling everywhere.
"I can't do that. And if you don't want to give me candy then I guess this is where our friendship ends, Mrs. Lady. But Mr. Gentleman and I are still friends. Bye bye." She turned her back to them and started skipping to the totally wrong direction to the office.
"Other direction, dear." Sabi ng matandang babae. Napahinto naman siya at nagiba ng daan.
"Thank you but this, *pointing to herself and the lady, is not happening"
---
"Izeiah? Buti naman at nahanap mo ang daan pabalik dito?" Nakataas kilay na sabi ni Green.
"Well, it's because of the old couple I met."
"Who?"
"Mrs. Lady and Mr. Gentleman." Sagot niya at ngumiti sakanya. Napaface palm nalang si Green.
"Anong pangalan nila?" Napaisip naman si Izeiah.
"Don't know I forgot to ask them. I'm sorry."
"By the way, Ivan Shikaiken goes to this school now that there's no more chaos at Izeiah High. I mean, originally, he attended this school, so he's a known figure around here." At dahil doon, natigilan si Izeiah.
"Fate can really twist the plot real hard" Hindi na muling umimik pa si Izeiah sa drive pabalik sa bahay na pinagtutuluyan niya.
