CLEOPHEE
Itinago ko na sa bag ko ang libro at tumayo na. It's been a month since I entered this school. It's exciting and chaotic I know, but part of me is saying na nababagay ako sa ganitong lugar. It's like pulling me back to my old life as a stand alone detective. The life that put everyone around me at risk, but if it wasn't because of this mindreading thing, hindi naman ako mapupunta sa ganung buhay. It started when I was 12, when I started to notice bizzare things. I used to think that my people were always honest because naririnig ko ang mga totoong nangyayari sa mga iniisip nila. It was dangerous, it's also the reason why my brother, Lothaire, poorly died.
It's a long story and I'm not that type of person who shares everything, I like to keep it everything in private. I only share secrets to my Kuya anyway.
"Hey Cleophee, sumabay kana samin papunta sa school", Memphis offered. These past few days, wala namang bagong nangyari, everything seems normal, except those creepy feeling I always get when I look at my window.
"I'm fine. I have a bike", I said. I haven't spoke to my mom since that 'incident' happened by the way. I heard from one of my neighbors na bumalik na sya sa bahay. I'm kinda worried dahil sya lang mag-isa don, or maybe not, she might've brought that Yukias home too. I don't know how long have been they started dating, but once I figure out what's his real motive, I'll definitely crush him.
"Are you sure? Kasya naman tayo sa kotse. You should meet Tempest too. We've been keeping her company para sa paghahanap dun sa jar nila"
"What jar?"
"An ancient jar from 1500s. Mahigit isang linggo na kaming nag-iimbestiga sa kasong yun but it seems like we're not going anywhere. You should join us, I think you're a living charm"
"Living charm?", takang tanong ko.
"Yea, cause whenever you're in the case, the case gets solve—"
"I'm not a living charm", I uttered. Jinx you mean. Tsk. "I have to go now"
"o-okay, are you sure you don't wanna meet Tempest?", she asked. I just smiled and shrugged my shoulders before heading out and ride my bike. Their apartment is not that far from the school but pag nilakad mo, aabutin ka ng syam syam. A group of guys started to catcall me. I'm stuck in the red light kaya hindi agad ako makaalis.
"Miss ganda, ano number mo?", nakangising tanong ng isang lalaki. He looks like a high school drop out, from bicep tattoos to fitted sando,he—THEY definitely look like gangsters that just got out of prison.
"Miss, samahan mo naman kami dito oh, inom tayo", the other guy intoned. Apat silang magkakasama at pare-pareho lang ang mga style. Pacool.
"sige na miss!"
"Ang taray mo naman, akala mo maganda"
Sa inis ko, bumaba ako sa bike at itinumba iyon sa harap nila. One of them cursed in shock. "I am not a dog that follows a man's command. Kung wala kayong magawang matino sa mga buhay nyo, magkita tayo sa korte", may diing usal ko.
"Ang tapang mo ah!", asar na usal nung isang may malaking tattoo ng pulang dragon sa kanang braso. His tattoo seemed familiar. "Babae kalang naman!"
"Babae lang ako pero kayang kaya kitang patumbahin sa iisang salita lang", I simply said. Tumawa naman sya at yung ibang mga kasama nya.
"Nagbibiro kaba? Anong gagawin mo? Aalamin ang sikreto ko?", he chuckled.
"Yes"
He looked at me with confused look.
Baliw.
"Ano ka? Manghuhula? Tsk. Pano mo naman malalaman ang sikreto ko? May sayad ka ata miss", tawa nya.
