Girl In The Garden Of Thorns

Chapter 6: Plan

Rose POV

how could she do that to me?! Damn it. Hanggang ngayon iniisip ko padin kung anong nalaman ni Athena. Fuck. It's been three fucking days. Simula nung dumating sya at umalis din. Fuck. I just want her to tell me. Pero ang kapalit nun ay. Ugh. Pagiging Royal. Like seriously? Dumaan nanaman ang Weekly examination namen kahapon. At ginawa ko ang sinabi ni Athena. Pero sa ibang paraan. Di ko nalang sinagutan ang iba. Kung over 100 yun. Mga 70 or 80 lang ang sinasagutan ko. Basta di ko ma perfect. Ayoko non. Fuck.

Nandito ako sa Classroom. Nagdi discuss ang Lecturer namin about biology.

"So when they ask. What is life is actually complicated question because there are different perspectives--"

A knock disturb her. She walked to the door and opened it. And tada! The bitch i'd waited for fucking three days is here. They talked and after a while They both walked to the front and ask Athena to introduce herself. And she did. After that the lecturer told her to sit next to Ethan well i was on Ethan's right side while she was on his left side. Then the Bio lecturer continued her lecture.

"So. Since we're in biology class, life is a living matter that show s attributes such as responsiveness , growth, metabolism, energy transformation, and reproduction." She then discussed. While i listened to her and one part of me is thinking about what i should fucking do just to know what did Athena Discovered.Damn.

After freaking hours. The bell rang. And i stood up quickly and pulled Athena's wrist. She mumbled something. But the hell i care?! Even the lecturer was fixing her things. She gazed us. But i didn't have time to say goodbye. I pulled her until we reached the garden where Ethan dragged me. I look at her dimly. She looked at me innocently.

"Don't look at me like that. Just tell me what you discover. Then i'll let it pass." i said. She smiled.

"Why? May alam ka na rin naman diba? Ikaw pa ata ang unang nakatuklas bago ako." she dryly said. I look at her intently.

'Fudge'

"Anong alam mo?" madiing tanong ko. She look at me then she smirked.

"Ikaw Rose. Anong alam mo?" she said while smirking. I heaved a sigh.

"Marami Ath. Pero di pa sapat ang nalalaman ko" madiin at pabulong kong sagot. Now her smirk vanished.

"At ako Rose? Satingin mo gano ba kadami ang nalaman ko kumpara sa alam mo? Nagmumukha akong tanga pag ikaw ang kasama ko Rose. Para akong nasa mundong di ko alam kung saan nagmula. Di ko alam kung paano magsisimula. O ihinto. Kase ako? Putang ina litong lito na ako." mariin ang mga salitang binitawan nya at tumulo ang butil ng luha nya.

"Dahil sa emosyon na pinapakita mo. Sapat na dahilan na yun para sabihin sayong. Mag iingat ka. " Sabi ko. Tinalikuran ko na ito at akmang hahakbang ng marinig ko syang magsalita.

"I don't know what's your plan Rose. Pero di ako makakapayag na magisa kang kumilos." humarap ako sakanya.

"Sinabi ko bang magisa ako? Ath. Listen." I cleared my throat. "I have many things in my mind right now. I just need time to think. If you want to intrude . Damn. Just put cautions. Think not just twice, Ath. Alam mong may plano ako. Pero di yun kasama sa pagsagip sayo kung may mangyari sayong masama." mariing paalala ko sakanya. Ngumiti ito saakin.

"So? Payag ka na?" nakangiting aniya. I sigh.

"Pero di ibig sabihin--"

"Yey! " She cut me off and hugged me. I rolled my eyes saka tinanggal ang pagkakayakap nya saakin.

"So. First things first." she said. My brows furrowed.

'Did i choose the right thing? '

We entered the canteen. Marami pareng tao. But then we ordered or own food. I just buyed a sandwich and bottled water.
As we searched for a table a familiar voice just shouted my name.

"Rose!" i rolled my eyes when that voice just got out from the crowd and walked in front of me.

"What do you want Kyle?" i said. He smiled saka kinawayan si Athena.

"I reserved a table for us. Andun na din sila Ace.Tara!" Sabi nito. Then he walked at sinundan naman sya ni Athena. So i have no freakin choice. I followed them.

Nakarating kame sa may tabi ng bintana kung asan kumakain sila Ace,Austin,Kiefer, and Lhyviel. They greet me i nod. Ath sit biside Kiefer while i sit biside her while Ace was on my right side. While the three idiots are at our front.

We eated. And i heard them talked until Ath just open an conversation that interests me.

"You said that matagal na simula nung nagkaroon ng Royals sa paaralan na ito. Do you know something deeper than that?" She ask. I looked at her she seems interested. So am i. Their brows furrowed. Lumapit sila lalo at tumingin sa kanya ng mariin. But Lhyviel talked.

"There was a former Royals. They we're five Students that was chosen to be Royals. They we're three boys and two girls. The four of them accepted. But one doesn't." he sigh.

'Damn.'

"Then what happened next?" She then ask.

"Like what Rose did. She ask to just let her go and have a peaceful life. Pero di pumayag ang Dean dahil narin alam nyang di na mababago pa ang napili ng Directors. He then make sure that the girl will say yes in his proposal. Everytime she rejected it. The more students made some miserable things. Like giving her threats. And so on. " Paliwanag ni Austin.

"But when she did say yes. They we're sophomores. And she accepted for peace. But after a year when they we're about to graduate. They all vanished. Others think that they just had a vacation. But after they just vanished the school got worst. And miserable things happened." Kiefer said. Napababa ang tingin ko sa pagkain ko na paubos na. I look at the bottled water. I drinked it.

"The school shut doors and opened the dormitories. That the 'Miserable things that happened'" i look at Her. They gasped.

'She knew something i didn't know huh?'

"That's the top secrets. No one is allowed to talk that things in here. Di nyo ba alam yun? " Madiing babala ni Ace. Napayuko sila Kiefer, Austin, at Kyle.

"Hmm. Top secret?" She then look at me then smiled mischievously.

"Pano mo nalaman ang bagay na yan?" Kiefer ask her. She then smiled and shrugged her shoulder.

"Sa tabi tabi. By the way. Payag na pala si Rose maging isang Royal. " nanlaki ang mata ko. I was about to protest when she stand . "And tell dean i was the one who convinced her." napakunot ang noo ko at tinitigan sya. She smiled sweetly at me saka nauna ng maglakad. Napayukom ako ng kamao ko.

'Damn. What's your plan Ath.'
