We Are The Gods

Chapter 4 🖋️ Welcome!

Welcome!

I lazily got out of bed and rubbed my eyes.

Wow. My dreams lasted for two consecutive days. What an experie--

"Celeste! Wake up! Wake up!"

Napamulat ako ng mata at tumambad sa'kin ang iba't-ibang kulay na mga mata ni Iris. Her shoulder length hair is braided but her bangs were left covering her forehead.

I groaned.

Oh c'mon! Can you gods get a darn life, please?

"You'll be late for your class today! You should prepare your things!" She exclaimed in a high-pitched voice.

Napairap ako sa hangin at saglit na nag-isip ng palusot. "My... files are still in Rizen, I can't transfer--"

"I already secured it yesterday! Hindi naman kita ipapalipat kung hindi pa iyon nakahanda! Duhh~!!" Pairap niyang putol sa'kin kaya nag-isip pa ulit ako ng dahilan.

"I don't have any uniform. I think I can't go–"

"Duhhh~?! I've prepared that too! Two days ago! The Fates even personally sewed it for you. And I tell you, it is made out of the finest fabrics and most expensive threads," excited na namang aniya na parang nagre-recruit, ng customer.

Nilingon ko naman ang itinuro niyang uniform at tinatamad pang nilapitan iyon. I held it and felt that it indeed felt soft in the hand and feels light enough that I knew it would be easier to move. Hanggang tuhod pa iyon pero dahil matangkad ako, pakiramdam ko ay maikli parin iyon.

I have quite the sewing knowledge too since it's one of my hobbies and I can say that it was indeed a fine job considering that it was made by three crazy teenage girls.

Pero may isa pang kinainisan ko habang tinitingnan si Iris na ngingiti-ngiti pa sa'kin.

"Two days ago? And I only met those crazy trio yesterday? Plinano niyo 'to 'no?" Walang kaemo-emosyon kong tanong.

I commend their way of planning things but they should've consulted me first. Kung gusto ko 'tong gawin. Tsaka kahapon palang nila pinakilala sa'kin 'yung babae. I don't even have any background about her. Hindi ko din alam kung may mind reading technique din siya at baka ako pa ang mapahamak.

But then nothing could change their minds. Nginisihan pa ako ni Iris bago saglit na kumunot ang noo niya.

"Who are you calling Crazy Trio?" She asked, creasing her forehead and sitting on the bed beside me.

"Who else? Of course those three. Pinagpipilitan nilang Moirai daw sila eh hindi naman sila mukhang ganun. They're false," walang pakeng sagot ko at dumiretso na sa harap ng salamin ko sa banyo. Isasara ko pa sana ang pinto ng sumungaw ang ulo ni Iris doon kaya muntik ko pa siyang masampal.

Nanlalaki ang mga mata niya dahil sa sinabi ko na parang natakot pa siya para sa'kin. "You dared call them crazy trio and fakes?"

Saglit ko pa siyang tiningnan bago nagkibit-balikat. "It doesn't matter. They won't get angry at me."

She face-palmed. "Sana hindi ka talaga nila marinig."

I rolled my eyes.

"But you will still transfer school," aniya ulit, hindi na talaga mababago ang isip.

"I'm not transferring," matigas ko namang sagot kaya napakagat-labi siya sa inis.

"Why not?! You don't even have friends at Rizen," she stated mockingly.

Hey, that's foul!

"It doesn't mean that if I don't have friends in Rizen, I will find and make friends in Théon. And I can live a century without friends," I stubbornly said and tried to close the door again but she stopped me using her arm.
