Capture thy Silence|Storm Black (A.U #1)

Chapter 11

Daphne Avreah Airenval

I'm currently walking holding my three books and a small bag at the hallways towards my next class.

It's been a week after the Intramurals and the Awarding. Our school ranked first in the Intramurals for this school year, Hadrison got the 2nd place and after them is BlueWolf and the last is Remus. A.U Falcons also won the Soccer Match. We're back to academics now.

Ng makarating ako ay kakaunti pa lang ang mga estudyante. I sat at the 2nd row at the front. Nilapag ko ang mga gamit ko saka tahimik na binuklat ang libro ko.

I'm wearing a chic polo longsleeves for women since the weather is a bit cold and it's cloudy outside. Maya-maya ay naramdaman kong nagsudatingan na din ang iba. Hindi naman napuno ang malaking room. There are still a lot of spaces left. Maybe it's because if the weather why msot students are not present. My schedule for my History classes are Thursdays. Kakaunti lang talaga ang pumapasok sa History Class. Maybe because it's easy to pass. You just have to get high scores on examinations and pass all the requirements and you're done. Hindi gaya ng ibang subjects. But then, I'm aiming for learnings kaya pumapasok pa din ako.

I heaved a sigh and get my pen saka nagsulat na lang sa notes ko. Napatingin ako sa tabi ko ng may biglang umupo doon.

"No one's seating here right?" Napakurap-kurap ako at inayos ang glasses ko kahit maayos naman ito ng makita ko si Storm.

He's wearing a white polo longsleeves too and he only brought a book and notebook and a black pen.

"No" I replied to him.

I pursed my lips looking away at him when I heard whispers in the room. They're all talking about us, seating with each other.

Tahimik lang kaming dalawa but I know that he's aware of the whispers of the students around us. Dumating na din sa wakas ang professor at nagsimula na ang klase. We were quite for the whole class. When the professor dismissed us, niligpit ko na ang mga gamit ko.

"Let's go for lunch" he said. Napatingin ako sa kanya. Nakaupo lang ito habang nakatayo na ako. I secretly looked around at nandito pa ang karamihan sa mga estudyante. Mostly girls. Are they staying because of him?

"Avreah" he called me again. He's now towering me with his height.

"H-ha?"

"Let's go" he said saka tumalikod at naglakad. Nakayuko akong sumunod sa kanya. I distance myself a bit from him and I could see his perfect broad shoulders.

Tahimik lang akong sumunod sa kanya hanggang sa makarating kami sa cafeteria. Kaunti lang din ang mga estudyante doon. We both headed on a table at the center. Hindi ko alam kung nasaan ang tatlo. Pati na din sina kuya. Should I ask him?

"Where are they?" I asked him. He looked at me for a second before answering.

"They're having lunch outside the school" he said. I just nodded.

"What do you want?" He asked me.

"Rice and steak will do" I said. Tumango siya saka sinabi iyon sa waiter. There are people assigned to get orders from the students. That's the privilege of being in this exquisite International University.

When the order arrived, we quietly ate. I felt a little bit awkward since I can feel the stares of the students to the both of us. After we ate, we went to our respective classes. He didn't say goodbye or what. He just, nodded and left.
