Midnight's Secret

Sixth Midnight

Chapter 6

"Okay class. I recorded all of the scores for the equipment quiz that we had for today. Most of you did a good job on handling it with your abilities." anunsyo ng guro namin.

Nagamba ako sapagkat alam ko sa sarili ko na tama nga ang sinabi sa akin nila Luna kagabi, balewala ang aking inaral sa librong ibinigay sa amin.

While the professor was explaining some things to us I tried to stop myself from looking left where Reve was seated, there were times that our eyes would meet but I'd looked away; his eyes were too strong for me to handle. This idea of us communicating in our dream is infuriating me. Ang awkward masyado.

"Ms. Alvarez" maawtoridad na sabi ng guro kaya napabalikwas ako sa aking pwesto at nahiyang ngumiti. "As I was saying..."

"Pst" kalabit sa akin ni Calix "Bakit mo tinititigan si Reve huh?" makahulugan na sambit nya sa'kin.

"Pinagsasabi mo?" I dodged his question which made him playfully smirk.

"I knew it, Flare has a crush on Reve" Calix said with a sing-song tune.

Napalingon naman ako kay Reve dahil baka kung ano isipin nya sa asar ni Calix ngunit nakita ko siyang nakatungo sya sa kanyang lamesa, walang pakealam sa nangyayari sa paligid nya.

"Oh? whose got a crush on Reve?!" Singit naman ni Aster sa usapan namin.

Akmang hahampasin ko sana si Calix nang lumingon sa direksyon namin si Luna "What a flirt." bulong ni Luna sa sarili nya ngunit narinig pa rin naman namin 'yon.

"Whose a flirt, sunshine?" Calix smirked while Aster were playfully giving looks on the both of them. This is just adding up to my stress, hawak ko sa ulo ko.

Luna glared at him "Cringe. I have a name, Calix." she slowly said.

"Okay, sunshine." asar pa muli ni Calix.

"Hestians!" Sigaw ng aming guro dahilan para tumingin sa amin ang buong klase. "Don't get too comfortable just because you carry out the Clandestine's missions. Maaari ko pa rin kayo ibagsak sa aking klase!"

Tumikhim sila Calix at Luna. I gripped my coat, looking down at my boots. This was my first time being reprimanded by a teacher, I'm not used to someone not giving me praises on my grades. It was making me feel inferior. I should be excelling in anything.

"Mahiya ka naman Ms. Alvarez it's just your second day here and you already failed your first test! You don't even deserve to be Hestian's fifth seat; hindi ko alam kung ano ang pumasok sa utak ng headmistress at ikaw ang nilagay dyan. Sa klaseng ito Ms. Alvarez ikaw lamang ang kauna unahang nakakuha ng bagsak na grado sa pinakamadaling pagsusulit, I thought you had a great reputation-" Napahinto sa pagsasalita ang aming guro napalingon ako nang marahas na tumayo si Reve sa kaniyang upuan.

Nagbulungan ang mga studyante, sumasangayon sa sinabi ng aming guro.

"That's enough." Reve said with authority.

One student whistled with amusement while others were bewildered. Napaawang naman ang bibig ng guro, halatang gulat sa reaksyon ni Reve.

Marahas akong hinila ni Reve palabas ng silid sinundan naman kami ng tingin ng buong klase at dinala ako kung saang parte ng akademiya, napaupo naman ako sa damuhan nang bitawan nya ako.

"Ouch." saad ko, then realizing that a tear escaped from my eye. I bit my lower lip to stop myself from eventually crying. Am I really this weak?

Napasapo naman ng noo si Reve while disheveling his hair with frustration. I tried to put my legs together not attempting to stand up anymore. Reve kneeled right in front of me so he could meet my eyes. I attempted to read his mind but he immediately blinked so I could lose my concentration.
