Hunter's Academy: The Demon Huntress

KABANATA 3

Pagkarating namin sa cafeteria ni Angelique or whatever her name was, marami-rami nang tao.

Someone waved their hands at us, or more like at Annica. When Anna saw them, she smiled and ran towards them.

Napailing-iling nalang ako when she ushered me to come with her. I don't have any other choice but to come with her. I don't want to be a loner, 'no. I just hope that her friends aren't as noisy and as annoying as her.

Bago pa ako maka-upo, hinawakan niya ako sa balikat at ngumiti sa mga kaibigan niya.

"Girls, this is my roommate. Scarlet. Just call her Scar though. Scar, these are my besties."

Tch. Like I care.

"Hi! I'm Friah. Rank 455 from class D-2." Nakangiting sabi ng babaeng naka-ponytail.

"Grace, rank 431 from class D-2." Pa-cool na sabi ng babaeng parang pinarebond ang buhok sa sobrang straight.

"I'm Nicole but please call me Nics. Rank 488 and I am from class D-2."Pagpapakilala ng babaeng parang palaban.

"And lastly, Katie. Rank 465 from class D-2." Walang ganang sabi ng babaeng mukhang maldita..

"Nice to meet you." Nakangiting sabi nung babaeng Feliah ata ang pangalan.

"Me too." Tipid na sagot ko kahit na hindi ko na matandaan ang mga pangalan nila. I'm not interested.

Umupo na ako sa may dulo ng table. Katabi ko ko yung babaeng naka-rebond. I think her name was Grane. Whatever. Siya lang naman ang mukhang okay sa lima eh. Including Anjea.

Gosh! I'm not really good with names. Especially to those unimportant people. Tch.

Nag-usap pa silang lima saglit pero hindi na ako nakinig. I'm not interested. I'm hungry and that's all I care. Gusto ko na ngang mauna eh but that would be rude. Oh wait, I think I've done many rude things, though. Nah, I can't remember.

I thought that this mission would be exciting. Turns out, it's not. It's plain boring and so annoying. I wish I would be done doing this or Hades would call me out of this sickening place.

My thoughts were cut off when I heard my name being called.

"Scar!"

Napatingin ako kay Annie.

"Pila na tayo. Mahaba-haba na kasi ang pila eh."

She only realized that just now?! If pumila na kami kanina, kumakain na sana ako ng masasarap na pagkain ngayon. Tch.

"Bilhan mo nalang rin ako." Sambit nung babaeng naka-ponytail at dun nagsimula ang away. De joke. Hihi, alam ko corny but bear with me. Minsan lang kaya ako mag-joke. Pero back to the point. Silang apat na kaibigan ni Alliah ay nagpabili ng pagkain sa kanya.

I don't really care. Hindi naman ako ang inutusan nila eh. I just hate it kapag may nag-uutos sa akin. Gusto ko, ako ang nag-uutos. Aside from Hades though. And sometimes, Dark. Whatevs.

Tumayo ako sa kina-uupuan ko at nauna nang pumila. Sumunod naman sa akin ang nakangiti kong roommate. Parang baliw.

"Scar." Tawag ni Ariah sa akin. Wala namang ibang nakakakilala sa akin dito maliban sa kanya and her friends.

"Hmm." I hummed as a reply. Tinatamad akong lumingon.

"I think that you should--" I wasn't able to hear the rest of Alliah's voice dahil sa mga sigawan.

Halos mabingi ako sa ingay ng cafeteria.

'Oh Em! The League of 8 is here!'

'Sh*t! Evan is so hot.'
