LORELEI

THIS IS getting crazier by the minute.

If Alistair didn't tell me to go with the flow, I would have stepped up and stopped this madness already. Jamie's speech was very moving kaya marami sa mga estudyante ang naka-relate at nagsitayo para suportahan ang mission naming patalsikin ang student council.

Almost a third of the students in the gymnasium joined us in our fight. Sa totoo lang, 'di ko in-expect na ganito karami ang susuporta sa amin. But that's the magic of Stein's network. He asked his friends in different strands and classes to spread the word about supporting a student who would stand up for our rights. That's none other than Jamie, of course.

I didn't want this so-called rebellion to end up in violence. Muntik nang magkapisikalan nang ipag-utos ni Maggie sa mga CAT cadets na arestuhin kaming umagaw sa eksena ni Emeraude sa kalagitnaan ng kanyang speech. Strangely, Sir Morayta and the other teachers in attendance only watched as the violence almost ensued. Dapat sila ang namagitan pero parang nanonood lang sila ng theater play sa stage. Something strange was really going on here.

"Let us not resort to violence. To settle this issue, why don't we play a game instead? Whoever wins will take control of the student body."

Tumigil ang mga CAT cadet mula sa pakikipagbuno sa mga supporter namin. Tumigil din ang mga supporter namin sa pakikipagsagutan sa mga CAT cadet. Luthor's words froze everyone. Literally.

Jamie may be the symbol of our rebellion (someone called her Mockingjay-mie, in reference to the Hunger Games trilogy), but Loki's the one pulling the strings. He's like the advisor to the queen who's really controlling the kingdom during the medieval times.

Masaya akong tumigil na ang pakikipagbuno ng mga estudyante sa isa't isa, pero 'di ko alam kung tama bang idea ang isinuggest ni Luthor. We'd be settling the whole thing through a game? Wasn't that crazy enough?

"What game do you wanna play?" tanong ni Jamie matapos bulungan ni Loki. "Gusto mo bang maglaro tayo ng Trip to Jerusalem? Kung sino ang unang makaupo sa trono, siya'ng mananalo?"

"Let's play something more strategic," Luthor replied. "A battle of wits and luck."

Did you know what game he suggested?

Modified Human Chess with Rock-Paper-Scissors.

No, I wasn't joking. Luthor wasn't the type of person to joke about something so serious. Talagang gano'n ang game na gusto niyang laruin namin. That's how we're gonna decide who rules and who loses. I don't know if he's been keeping that idea for a while or it's something that he pulled out of the blue, but he's serious about it. I would have understood kung normal chess game ang suggestion niya, but he went for something more complicated.
