"Okaayyyy, I may or may not have seen my future?"-I answered them unsure since hindi parin ako sigurado kung pangitain nga ba yun or just work of my wild imagination.
"You what?"-naguguluhang tanong ni Flora na halos malaglag naman sa kinauupuan niyang single sofa.
"Baka gusto mong uhmm ipaliwanag ng mas maayos?"-Maxx raised an eyebrow at me so naupo naman ako ng maayos so that I am facing them.
"I mean hindi ko parin naman kasi alam kung nag daydream ako kanina o I actually saw the future."-I quickly avert my eyes to them, at for a moment I found myself staring our table.
"What exactly did you saw Ingrid? Mind elaborating it much further?"-Flora asked after grabbing a bag of chips sa kwarto namin.
"Pakidescribe lahat kung maaari?"-Maxx said after getting a handful of chips, okay nagmamaldita na sila sakin.
"Okay. It was summer I think, I saw a simple 2 storey house which is painted with beige and white colors with a small garden sa tabi. Then I saw 2 kids - a girl and a boy - running around their mom, mukhang meron silang small family picnic dun sa small garden nila. The mom was actually the older version of me since kamukha ko yung babae it's just that she looks more sophisticated and have more experience"-I explained to them pero all throughout ng story telling ko I'm not looking at them. Natatakot akong makita ang reactions nila baka mamaya isipin nila na nababaliw na ako.
"Si Wave ba yung asawa mo dun? Kasi kung siya nga, girl nag daydreaming kang gaga ka!"-Flora said then burst out laughing halos mabitawan niya pa nga ang hawak niyang chips.
"Sure ka bang crush mo lang si Wave?"-Maxx asked after laughing too, I frowned at them. Can't they see na I'm trying to be serious here?
"Girls stop laughing at me. And it's not Wave, the guy's face was actually blurred... but he have a black hair with few red highlights, a tattoo on his neck and few ear piercings on his right ear."-I said as I tried recalling what he looks like.
Agad namang napatigil ang dalawang kong baliw na kaibigan at nasamid naman si Flora dun, and me being the good friend ay dali daling kumuha ng tubig.
"Here. Uminom ka at ng mahimasmasan ka"-I said habang iniaabot ko sa kanya yung isang basong tubig.
"Are you sure? Kung ganun nga ang nakita mo well it's probably a foresight of your future"-Maxx said while shrugging.
"Okay tama na yun. That would be the last time na pag uusapan natin ang bagay na yun. So... kamusta naman ang isang buong linggo niyo?"-I said setting aside my issues and now averting the topic on them. I tried smiling at them then sat beside Maxx.
"Well 1 week na kaming pumapasok at nag aaral when supposedly we still have few weeks vacation. Nakakainis nga kasi puro kami physical training this past few days"-Flora said while frowning, well sa tingin ko it's because of what happen to the five of us. They are not preparing only us but the whole students that is studying here in the Academy. They are not teaching students, they are preparing warriors.
"Yup. Akala ko we'll be more on reading books and all since 1st year palang tayo diba? Meron pa rin namang klase na nasa classroom kami pero ilan lang yun 2 ata? English at History lang yun!"-Maxx grumbled under her breath, sa totoo lang para silang mga bata na inagawan ng candy with the way they're nagging at me right now.
Kung nahihirapan sila sa adjustments paano pa kaya ako? Wala parin akong kaalam alam totally about this world aside from the fact that I know their history and how to use my core and few more things. All in all I can't survive kung may biglaang may mangyari ngayon. I can easily die if I don't figure out what I am as soon as possible, argh am I going to die here? What about my parents and family that is still on human world? Argh I can't die yet, I haven't have my first boyfriend yet! Goodness I'm a total innocent, never been touch never been kiss and all. Teka lang, for the love of all things bakit ba yun ang una kong naisip?
"Uy Ingrid you okay? Did you saw something again? Was it bad news? Your face was morphing into worry earlier and then you grimace"-Flora is worrying now searching my face and all to check if I'm okay, did I just space out again? Argh I certainly lack focus since I woke up this morning.
"Hindi wala akong nakita, nagspace out lang ulit ako. I was just worried about myself here, alam niyo na kung ano ako and I am obliged to carry all of this as a burden or as a privilege. I just hope na kayanin kong mag adjust ng mas mabilis"-I'm upset at myself kasi pakiramdam ko pabigat lang ako sa aming lima, they doesn't really need me on their team. Come on they are ranking top on this Academy, they already have the bond that they need, they already have team work, they are strong. I'm just an extra baggage to their tons of burden and I feel bad about it.
"Hey listen to me Ingrid, you are doing just fine. You're strong kailangan mo lang na mas hasain ang kakayahan mo for you to be able to level up. You just have to be the better version of yourself everyday, don't worry kasi marami kaming tutulong sayo"-Maxx is hugging me while saying soothing words to my ears, I can feel the smile on her face.
"And if you're thinking na pabigat ka lang, stop thinking at all. That would be much better"-Flora said while hugging Maxx and I, nakakatouch naman talaga ang mga kaibigan kong ito.
We barely know each other but we are able to be as close as this, sana mas magtagal ang friendship namin. Now meron na akong extra reasons to fight all of this, I want to spend more time with them, I want to know them more. I want to build more memories and enjoy my youth days even with all the stuffs that is happening today.
Argh why can't I just be a normal human being and why do I even have to be some sort of great being or something. I never wanted this and now nagsisisi na akong hiniling ko na sana may mangyaring something exciting sa buhay ko nung nag 17th birthday ako! Stupid birthday wishes!
"I'm fine now, thanks to you guys"-sabi ko habang kumakalas sa pagkakayakap sa kanila.
"Gusto niyong ice cream tayo?"-tanong ko bigla sa kanila, well ngayon ko na sinisimulan yung pagbuo ng new memories.
"Gustuhin man namin, we still have classes at 3"-Flora said while pouting, nagsimula na din siyang ayusin ang gamit niya. Probably changing her notes and books and putting her makeup kits in a different bag.
"6pm pa kasi ang labas namin. I don't think na pwede kang maki sit in sa klase namin"-Maxx said at mukhang nagdadalwang isip siya kung aakitin niya akong sumama sa mga klase nila.
"It's fine. I'll guess kita nalang tayo mamayang dinner sa cafeteria. Namiss ko din namang kumain ng kasabay kayo"-I said smiling para lang hindi na sila mag alala na iiwan nila ako mag isa dito.
At exactly 2:45 in the afternoon eh umalis na sila after bidding goodbyes, terror daw kasi yung trainor nila eh. I heard hinati nila ang students into 4 groups depending in their cores at nahati pa sa dalawa ang Earth core users since merong pang battle and merong pang medic at meron din namang both.
At dahil pagod na akong mag isa at walang kausap I have decided na lumabas ng dorm namin at mag uli uli naman. I changed into a pair of leggings and a black shirt then wear my favorite sneakers, I braid my hair dahil ayokong maabala pag aayos everytime na mahahangin ito, should I cut my hair short? Hmmm I'll think about it some other time, for now busy ako para sa small venture ko dito sa Elementia Academia, might found some new places na hindi pa nararating ng mumunting si Ingrid Cathalina Emperial, uhm parang it sound so strange now.
"Saan naman kaya ako pupunta? Should I try going up or sa library nalang?"-I asked myself, kung sa library ako pupunta sobrang tahimik naman pero maraming books dun, kung sa rooftop naman tahimik but peaceful and calming.
"Why not sa rooftop with borrowed books from the library?"-I never knew that I could be that clever and I can't help but smile with pride at the thought.
Okay siguro nababaliw na nga talaga ako.
