CHAPTER 18

CHAPTER 18
We're Now a Family

"WHERE'S Ian? Was he shot? Is he okay?"

Napalingon kami nila Rei at Kuya Koku sa mga bagong dating na walang tigil sa pagsasalita. Si Sena at Hira! They're still catching their breaths. They probably ran from the cafeteria to the locker area and to the infirmary which is where we all are.

"He's being treated. He was accidentally shot on the shoulder. Daplis lang daw kaya ayos lang siya," sagot ni Kuya Koku sa tanong ni Sena.

Malakas na nagbuga ng hangin si Sena, "Thank God! Akala ko kung napaano na siya!" aniya bago umupo sa upuang nasa tabi ni Rei.

"I'm glad you quit acting like a child," maikling turan ni Rei. Napaka straightforward din talaga nitong lalaking 'to, e! Walang preno preno, bahala na umilag ang kausap niya, gano'n!

"Tsk, I feel like I was possessed. It's freakin' irritating," aniya bago ako nilingon. "I'm sorry. I went overboard," aniya bago yumuko.

"Ayos lang, pasensya na at pabigla bigla ako kanina at nasigawan ko kayo. Hinahabol ko kasi ang oras," marahang sabi ko bago ngumiti. Nakita kong ngumiti rin siya sa akin.

Bumaling naman ako kay Hira. She's sitting next to my brother. Bale, napaggigitnaan namin si Kuya Koku. She looked at me and it looks like may gusto siyang itanong.

"What is it?" tanong ko sa kanya. Nilingon naman siya ng iba pa naming mga kasama.

"I just want to ask if my hunch is right," aniya na ikinakunot ng noo ko. What is she referring to? "Can you see the future?" dagdag pa niya bago nakipagtitigan sa akin. Ah, 'yon lang naman pala. Akala ko kung ano na, e.

"Glimpses," sagot ko sa tanong niya.

Nakita ko naman siyang tumango. "I thought so. Have you seen us even before you went here?" tanong niyang muli.

"I did, but I won't say what are the scenarios I saw. It might not happen if I tell it to you right now. Hmmm, I think it would happen months from now or maybe earlier than when I'm expecting it to happen?" sagot kong muli.

Tumango siya sa akin, "It's fine, I won't pry. By the way, you're not familiar with the Academy, right?" aniya kaya naman tumango ako. "We can tour you around if you want," dagdag pa niya.

"That would be amazing! Thank you!" sabi ko at saka muling ngumiti.

"You're welcome! We're the Q-Class and we're now a family. There shouldn't be a gap, right, Sena?" aniya bago binalingan si Sena.

Kumunot naman ang noo nito at saka sinamaan ng tingin si Hira, "I already told you, I think I was possessed!" sigaw niya dito.

"Nope, your not possessed! Mataas lang talaga ang pride mo!" muling pang aasar ni Hira dito. They look so adorable!

"Geez, Hira, I already said that I'm sorry!" nagtitimping sabi ni Sena. Her face is so red. Maybe, she's embarrassed? 

A soft laugh slipped out of my mouth.

Agad namang napabaling ang tingin nilang lahat sa akin. "What?" I asked them. "Am I not allowed to laugh?" dagdag ko pa na ikinailing naman nila.

My brother pinched my cheeks, it hurts! "You're so cute, Lil Sis!" aniya at diniinan pa ang pagkakapisil sa pisngi ko. Aish!

"Kuya!" sigaw ko sabay tampal sa kamay niya. Tumawa siya ng malakas na ikinasimangot ko lalo. "Ang sama mo!" sabi ko pa sa kanya habang minamasahe ang pisngi ko.
