Amaranthine Academy

Chapter 17: Claimed

"Impossible"

Lahat kami napatingin kay headmistress pagkatapos niya sabihin yan

Nakahawak siya sa lamesa na para bang kumukuha ng lakas dun

I looked at the Alpha and I saw that he's showing the same expression.

It's like he can't believe something and he's thinking hard about it.

Tumingin rin ako kay Keisha pero nakakunot lang ang noo niya habang nakatingin sa headmistress. Sa ekspresyon niya halatang wala rin siyang alam

Pinaupo muna nila si headmistress

Tumikhim ang isa sa mga admin bago nagsalita

"Ms. Aria Heather Rodriguez has been claimed, for now you can all go back to your rooms. Except for you, Alpha and Ms. Rodriguez"

I know that it was not supposed to end that way because the council and the Enas team was still looking at the headmistress, wondering what's going on, while they're leaving.

Only the Alpha and the admin stayed, together with the headmistress.

And I just stood there like a clueless child.

Well, I'm really clueless and I can't take it so I asked

"So....anong house ako?" tanong ko to para basagin yung katahimikan pero walang sumagot

Instead, the headmistress stood up and started walking around in circles like she's really problematic

"This is not possible" paulit ulit niya yang sinasabi at sa mukha ng admin ay parang sang-ayon sila

Halos lahat sila ay mukhang nag-iisip ng malalim pero parang kahit anong isip nila ay di pa rin siya makapaniwala dahil maya't maya ang pag-iling nila

Hindi talaga ako yung taong naghihintay nalang kaya syempre nagtanong nanaman ako

"Ano po bang nangyayari?" para kasing lahat sila ay hindi talaga makapaniwala samantalang ako ni hindi ko alam kung ano ba yung hindi nila mapaniwalaan

Alpha raised his hand as if telling me to stop talking for a while and that made my brows furrowed

Ba't niya ako patatahimikin tapos pinaiwan pa nila ako dito edi dapat pala umalis nalang din ako diba

"But it's done, she chose her" the Alpha told the headmistress that made her stop walking back and forth

"You're right, but the question is, why?" nagkatinginan silang lahat na parang may pinag-uusapan gamit sa mga mata nila bago binalik sa akin ni headmistress ang tingin niya

"Ms. Rodriguez thank you for staying but for now you should first go to your room and pack your things" she didn't gave me enough time to ask because she turned her back and just gave a sign to the Alpha to escort me back before leaving with the admin

"Let's go" nauna na siyang naglakad paalis, expecting me to follow him

Pero hindi ako sumunod sa kanya kaya nilingon niya ako nang nakakunot ang noo

"Hindi nalang ako susunod nalang, sabihin mo sa akin kung ano ba talaga yung nangyayari" I'm so tired of being clueless like I'm not even part of this narrative, because as far as I know, I am

"Believe me, I don't even know what's really happening nor how to explain it to you. Pag-uusapan pa namin yun pero nangangako akong papaliwanag ko agad sa'yo. Sa ngayon, sundin muna natin ang sinabi ni headmistress"

Huminga ako ng malalim at tinanggap nalang na wala talaga akong makukuhang sagot mula sa kanya kasi halata namang kaunti lang rin ang alam niya.

Hinatid niya nga ako sa kwarto ko at pinaalalahanan na ayusin ang mga gamit ko dahil susunduin niya ako mamaya para dalhin sa tower kung saan ako lilipat
