Alexa's

"CAN someone please let me wake up?"

I never imagine I'd hate the idea of me dreaming. I was so out of words and I'm shock I could still ask her that.

"If you were dreaming, you're probably eating right now," she said looking so confuse, too. It was just too much to take in.

I was indenial about it at first, so when I saw the twice I was literally out of words.

"Can this place be more shitty?" I asked

"Ba't ka tanong ng tanong kung alam mong walang makakasagot niyan, Alexa? Bobo mo rin eh," mataray na sabi ni Jiyah. Isa rin 'tong bobo eh.

"But how do I do it?" I asked her and looked at the bottle she's holding right now to divert my thoughts and attention.

"Do what? Do what she did? Mag-aalsa ng sofa? Gaga ka ba?"

"Tanga hindi, 'yang ginagawa mo, paano 'yan?

Binigay niya naman sa 'kin ang librong binabasa niya kanina, "Basahin mo 'yan. Nandiyan na lahat ng kailangan mo kaya basahin mo 'yan ng maayos bobo ka pa naman."

Sinagot nga ako, ininsulto naman. Hay nako Jiyah Grand!

After reading it thoroughly I decided to make a soap. I don't why I chose soap, siguro dahil isa 'yun sa madaling gawin.

Jiyah, on the other side, started to make her second potion. But I don't know what kind of potion she'll make today. After reading the directions kumuha ako ng isang pot para makapag-init ng tubig.

"I found mine actually." Kunot-noong tiningnan ko si Jiyah sa sinabi niya

"Uh obviously you found yours. You made that caffeine something, right?"

"Bobo mo Alexa, hindi 'yan ang ibig sabihin ko,"

"E, ano?" tanong ko pagkatapos kong nilunod ang mga ingredients ng sabay sabay. Hindi sumagot si Jiyah sa tanong ko't hinawalan lang ang kamay ko.

I am melting the ingredients now so obviously, may usok pero bakit parang ang lamig yata? Lalo na ang kamay ni Jiyah?

"Why the hell is your hand cold? May sakit ka ba?" nilagay ko sa noo ni Jiyah ang left hand ko't pinakiramdam ang temperature pero hindi siya mainit, kundi malamig! Sobrang lamig!

"Hoi gago! Bakit ang----"

"I told you I already found mine," she said and let go of my hands. Hinawakan ko 'yun at unti unti pang nawawala ang lamig 'nun.

"My ability is coldness," she calmly said. What the hell?

Then I remembered the look she gave Ms. Karen yesterday, it was the look she alwasy give when something's bothering her.

"How is this... what... what exactly is happening?" I asked closely going to be insane.

"We have abilities, Lexa, and mine is coldness. Now, I think I know the exact reason why they need us.
