"Do I look like I need saving?" seryosong tugon ko kay Ruru
A moment of silence.
"Yep! You're Almiona Pablo or Almiona The Great. Ability? Vision. The Almiona once excessively bullied since her first dwell in the Academy who instantly became great because Zalora befriended her." Nagsalita yung lalaking bagsak ang buhok in a matter of fact tone. "...And now, being bullied again because Zalora is not anywhere around" pagpapatuloy niya na sinadyang binagalan ang pagsasalita para damhin ko ang pinagsasabi niya. His silent personality earlier is a facade!
I smirked. So they even did some petty researching 'bout me huh?
I didn't answer. I cannot answer. My past years being bullied and tortured once again haunt me. Kainis na lalaking to. How dare he remind me that!
Yes...I was back then the most miserable Whim. Walang araw na hindi ako sinasaktan, binubugbog, at pinagtitripan ng mga iba't ibang mga Whims na hindi ko naman kilala.
I fought for myself for the past 3 and a half years. I come home every afternoon almost dead. Si Seven, walang magawa para ipagtanggol ako sa Academy dahil walang pakealam ang Academy sa mga katulad kong Inferiors LANG. So kung anu-anong gadget ang ginagawa niya para sakin panglaban ko sa mga haughty Whims.
I've spent my lunchbreaks in the female restroom. I do insane things just to avoid haughty Whims. I learned to know which passages to walk on. Which Whims not to cross. Which places to isolate myself.
Thankfully, I survied those years. Buhay pa rin ako hanggang ngayon. Gumaan ang buhay ko ng makilala ko si Zaza, for almost 5 months, paminsan-minsan nalang may gumagalaw sakin na mga Whims. Zaza is genuine so I accepted her "friendship-proposal". Now, she is one of the lone 2 persons I trust.
Naramdaman ko ang pagbigat ng pakiramdam ko. I can't cry.
I swallowed a lump from my throat before answering the guy. "So? What are you implying?" I sternly asked.
"Thus, you need saving" he responded immediately in another a-matter-of-fact tone.
They've got my weakness and they're using it to force me join them. Sino ba naman ang aayaw sa offer nila?
"We're saying that if you join us tomorrow, your safety is guaranteed for the rest of your stay here in the Academy." Sabi naman nung isa na kumakain ng popcorn kanina na ngayon ay nakaupo na ng maayos pero nakangisi pa rin. "As simple as that!" pagtatapos niya.
For you it is, but for me it's never simple.
I have doubts. Why would they want me to join them? I'm merely an Inferior. What help can I be? Anong adventure ba ang tinutukoy nila. Ano kung gawin nila akong pain sa kung sino o pagtripan?
"Ayoko. I don't even know you." I exclaimed and walked my way to leave the room.
"Really? You don't know the TOP 5?"
