Reign's POV

"Di ka ba lalangoy? Libre na tubig oh" turo nya dun sa parang lake.

"H-hindi na tyaka wala naman akong dalang damit" tumango naman sya at saka pumuwesto para mag dive.

Sa totoo kang kase hindi ako marunong lumangoy. Duh! Wala namang pool or lake sa Grunge, I mean may lake nga madumi naman! Pinanood ko nalang sya.

"Ang kyut ng shorts mo!" Sigaw ko sakanya at tumawa naman ito.

"All hail to Aerus!" sigaw nito at saka tumalon beautiful splashes appeared.

Tinawanan ko sya at binalingan ang mga pagkain doon. Hindi ko mapigilang malungkot, tama ba tong ginagawa ko? Using somebody just to prove my self to my mother. There's a sudden sadness in me. My eyes started to blur and tears fall out. The four us knows what we want that our parents never asked for.

A million thoughts inside my head, alam ko na dapat puso ang nasusunod. Pinipigilan kong lumakas ang pagiyak ko baka marinig ako ni Claude.

I am sorry Claude, very sorry.

Siguro mali talaga na pumunta kami dito. Simula kase nung dumating kami dito nagbago ang lahat. We felt something that we never felt before. Realization hits us hard too. May mga bagay na hindi mo talaga nakukuha kahit iyakan mo pa to.

We also realized that having mistakes is fine, for our parents specially kay mom bawal ang magkamali. Elkie keeps on telling us that she isn't capable to be good at fighting using swords but everytime I see her with Oliver fencing, she has that smile that we never really seen.

Quinn is a very kind and sweet person, she maybe cause trouble because mataray talaga sya pero she's that kind of person who never leaves your side and make you feel worthy. The person you would relay on.

Lucy is the youngest among us, she is caring, bibo nga kung tawagin. Positive sya she's like the class clown. She once spilled that ayaw nya ng maging ganto. She wanna change but since her mother doesn't like disappointments she can't do anything about it. She is so precious.

We've been through a lot of pressure since we were still kids, we might look as evil of the evilness but we also can feel that there is something missing in us. And alam ko na kung ano yung nawawala. We know.

Natigil naman ako sa pagdadrama ng mapansin ko na parang kanina pa hindi umaahon si Ulap. Kaya tumayo ako at nilibot ang tingin ko sa paligid. Hindi ko talaga sya mahagilap.

No choice kaya kahit ganto ang suot ko ay lumusong ako sa tubig. Sa una mababaw lang pero lumalalim ito. Shit!

"Ah!" bigla namang may umalalay sakin, dinala nya ako sa pangpang.

"Gago ka ba?! Akala ko nalunod kana!" hindi ko alam kung bakit ganun yung tingin nya sakin.

"You dont know how to swim?" tanong nya na talagang curious pa.

Naiirita naman akong sinagot yun. "Yeah! Obviously!"

"But Grunge has lakes" sagot naman nito pabalik.

"Yes but remember what your magic stupid barrier did?! It turned everything into a mess!" pinagpag ko naman ang suot ko.

"Now all I get is a jerk and I am soaking wet!" tumayo naman ako at agad din nyang isinuot ang hoodie nya sa akin.

Hinawakan nya naman ang mga balikat ko at pinaharap sakanya. He looked me in my eyes and I also did.

"You felt concerned, sincerely" nagiwas naman ako ng tingin.

Did I really felt concerned? Okay, I'm doomed!

"Reign, If I told you that I love you would say the same?" his words made me look at him.

His eyes, he stares at me that he knew something that I don't.

"Hindi ko alam, I don't know what love really feels like" He looks like an angel.

"Don't worry, maybe I can teach you what love is" he smiled at me.
