"Goodevening Miss Lee."
I stopped in front of the old man's rectangular office brown oak desk sitting on a circular platform and gaze up at him behind his table. He's wearing a glittering grayish dress and striking blue sash. His graying long beard falls neatly under his chin, giving him the identity of being a very old man. A great white chandelier on top of his head beaming lights around the whole place. I cleared my throat and answered "Goodevening"
"Welcome to Academia Peculiarim." He warmly greeted with a sly smile. I just nod and smiled awkwardly as a response.
So, Academia Peculiarim ang pangalan ng school na to.. A tingling sensation from my belly started to move as I imagine myself sitting in one of the classes here. I've never felt excitement since I was nine years old witnessing a hand getting larger than human's hand size until now.
The old man then started to flip papers on his desk and I remain standing on my spot while waiting for his instructions. I jolted backwards as the chair from the left corner of this room started to move as if someone's pushing it from behind leading it to the old man's desk. It stopped as it reached the platform.
"Would you mind taking your seat here, Miss Lee?" The old man spoke once again showing me his sly smile. I shook my head and pave my way towards the chair.
Hesitant to sit on my seat, I felt my eyes sting again. Closing my eyes tight, I finally sit on the chair.
"I am perfectly sure that you don't know your grip yet?" He asked again one more time. I just nod as a response. I don't know how I look right now, but one thing's for sure---it's really uncomfortable.
The old man suddenly made an abrupt move folding his both palms just in front of his face.
"My bad, hindi ko pa naipapakilala ang sarili ko ng maayos," he said with a low cackle.
"I am Demetrio Demetrius, the Supereminent of this school. I am glad to see you Miss Lee." He continued and stretching his arms across the table for a shake hands which I openly took.
"T-thank you, S-sir.."
He chuckled once again. I looked at his smiling face innocently and observed him in silence. He looks nice and warm. This made me feels comfortable for a moment. I wonder kung bakit ganun ang reaksyon ni Ma'am Badufalsa kanina, para kasi syang kinakabahan na ewan..
"Are you aware that you actually have the Lucets eyes?"
My eyebrow furrowed slightly at the mention of that Lucets thingy. Dahan dahan kong sinalat ang kaliwang mata ko.
"I don't know why, pero sumasakit sya ng paminsan minsan.. kanina sa bus, atsaka sa head---i mean.." Kaagad na putol ko sa sasabihin ko. I mentally slap my face.
STACEY, HOW MANY TIMES DO I HAVE TO TELL YOU NA SECRET ORGANIZATION ANG DEATH GRIP!?
The Supereminent just chuckled at my reaction of hesitancy. I breathed heavily as I look at him.
"Don't worry Miss Lee, I know perfectly the Death Grip. You can trust me." He said with a wink. Feeling relieved, I suppress a small smile and nod.
"S-sir?" I called out. Demetrio looked at me with his approaching features. I gulped.
Sabi nya I can trust him.. Pwede kong sabihin sakanya ang mga nangyayari sakin sa mga nakaraang araw at linggong nakalipas. He's the Supereminent of this School, anyway. I feel the urge of telling him.
"N-nakakita po ako ng malaking aso sa bahay ng tita ko. It was a really huge black dog.. really unusual. Nakita ko po ulit yun dun sa Cure Center.. Pero hindi nakita nila Homer at Nerissa,"
