Episode 17: Act of Contrition (Part 2)

I QUICKLY PICKED up my things and put them inside my peach Anello backpack after our major class in Principles and Practices of Advertising.
"Tutti, sama ka sa'min. Kakain kami sa Burger King. Libre ko," aya ni Lee.
I stomped my right foot silently.
Sayang.
"Sorry, nakapangako na ako sa Charmings, e. May lakad din kami."
"Aww." Pabirong siniko ni Whiskey sa tagiliran ang biglang lumungkot na si Lee.
"Pero next promise sasama ako," I said.
"Really?" Lee lightened up.
"Basta ba libre mo parin," I kidded and he just nodded smilingly.
"Una na ako guys! Cheerio!" paalam ko sa kanila.
Truth is, Rum wanted us to be home early. All of our classes ended by one in the afternoon since we were early today because of the training. Papasok daw kami sa loob ng Simulation Room para tunguhin ang mundo ng mga walkers na nasa ibang dimensyon.
The owner of the shop where we usually buy coffins taught Rum how to summon the door of the Simulation Room. He's the only one who can do it since he's the funeral director. The owner is also a first-blood guardian. He further explained that the special room can take us anywhere and anytime we desire or need to go.
I immediately made my way to the Katipunan Road. Dadaanan daw kaming tatlong mga babae ni Dean doon dahil medyo malayo pa ang parking lot sa ArtScies Building.
Dumaan muna ako sa stall ng hotdog at bumili ng dalawang jumbo sticks. I couldn't get enough of just one stick.
"Bilisan mo!" bulyaw ni Dean sa akin sabay busina pa.
Nasa loob na rin ng backseat sina Queen at Snow.
Hawak-hawak ang dalawang stick sa magkabilang kamay ko ay tumakbo na ako palapit sa sasakyan. Bumaba si Rum sa front seat at pinagbuksan ako ng pinto ng backseat.
"Danke," pasasalamat ko sa kanya sabay malapad na ngiti. He smiled too.
"Uubusin mo lahat 'yan?" baling ni Dean sa akin.
"Hindi ako namimigay, Dean. Sensya na."
Snow giggled on her side while Dean groaned.
He set the engine to motion and then we drove off while I was making the most of my foods.

NATIPON NA KAMI sa may harap ng pader kung saan lilitaw ang Simulation Room. Naka-PE uniform pa din kami kasi may training kami kaninang umaga kay Ms. Ferrer. Tsaka mas komportable naman ito.
