Chapter Fifteen

If humans are stupid

*knock knock... Knock knock... Knock knock*

"Will you stop knocking!? It's irritating!"

"Palabasin niyo na ako, I need to pee."

"No!"

Ugh.

Nakakailang buntong hininga na ako after kong magising. Yup, I'm in this golden room again. Ni-lock pa nila yung pinto ng terrace ng kuwartong ito just so I won't be able to escape. Weird dahil wala namang keyhole yung pinto nito.

I've been knocking at the door of this room to get some attention from the outside. Turns out, someone's really guarding this room outside. That voice irritates me too, Aries, huh? I wonder kung aawayin na naman niya ako kapag nagkaharap kami ulit.

"I need to pee," usal ko sa pinto, a moment of silence ang namuo ng ilang segundo then a guy's voice answered. "Kailangan mo ba talaga? Because you know...hindi kasi natin kailangan 'yan. We...have a different kind of body---"

"No, I'm just lying so I could get out," I said. Taurus, huh? I'm exhausted, and I'm so done with this.

"Eh? Ahahahaha!" Hm, now Leo's outside? Hilig niya talagang tawanan ako, naiirita na rin tuloy ako sa kaniya. Napabuntong-hininga na naman ako at saka naupo sa kama. I took my bag from the floor at niyakap ito. I just decided to look at the night sky outside, sa labas ng terrace. Nakikita ko pa rin naman since glass door naman ito.

It's too boring here, yes I could enjoy the night sky but that's not what I want. I still have plans for today and that plan is to sleep.

I may sleep here, but I don't want to be in this room. I feel some quite familiar presence here, para bang andito yung presensiya na nagmula pa sa nakaraang panahon, and...

It doesn't feel okay, there's no trace of happiness here. It's too serious, as if you can't even smile in here.

Hindi ko alam, maybe I'm just imagining it. I feel like I'm thinking too much kaya naisipan ko nalang na kumain. Mabuti nalang talaga ay dala-dala ko pa ang bag ko at naisipan kong itago yung mga pinamili ko. I took another ice cream sandwich and started eating it.

When I felt the cold of the cream, I suddenly felt so good. Nothing really beats ice cream sandwiches. Though, medyo tunaw na pala. That's where I heard the door opened, nang mapalingon ako, a girl with big eyes and huge capricorn horn, wearing a glittery blue dress; smiled at me.

I'm currently chewing my food while staring at her, nasa likuran niya naman si Taurus at Leo. Lahat sila nginitian ako. I didn't bother to smile, instead, I just took another bite of my sandwich.

****

"Stop making that face, Aries." Suway ng babaeng may napakalaking tenga na kulay galaxy and her color is pure violet. Nakaiwas sa gawi ko ang mukha ni Aries so I can't really see her.

I feel more uncomfortable here, andito na naman ako sa napakalaking silid na ito kung saan ko rin sila huling nakasama.

I also feel that...it seems like they're distancing themselves from me. Except Taurus who's a bit closer to me. Tuwing mapapatingin ako sa kaniya, ngumingiti siya. But the Gemini twins seem to be judging me now by how they look at me.

Nakasandal lang ako sa kinauupuan ko while hugging my backpack. They're talking with each other kaso hindi ko naman maintindihan. What's that? Alien language?

Medyo nabigla ako nang may kung anong klaseng glitters sa ere! Every chair has a floating glitters above, and it's forming into something...zodiac signs.
