The 7Bs [Discontinued]

~Chapter 2 - Two Timo-kuns, and The Magimads~

Claire's P.O.V.

Hindi ako mapakaniwala sa nakikita ng mga mata ko but there, he stood before me--Timo-kun, wearing his orange and pink baseball cap, his pale red bowtie, and his orange and grey wrist--pawwatch. My calico cat bestie, whom used to be just imaginary.

"Nagulat ka, no? But, ako nga 'to. Your ICBFF in the flesh," Nakangisi pa s'ya sa 'kin. Pero, pa'no s'ya nabuhay? "Seriously, bro...? You still don't get it, do you?" Hm?

"First things first, is this dorm room soundproof?" I don't know why he suddenly asked that, but I just nodded. "Thank goodness, I thought we would need to use the power of 'telepathy', just so we can talk to each other without anyone hearing our conversation,"

Telepathy? "Yeah, this conversation should only be between the two of us--and 'them'."

"'Them'? Sino.. exactly..?"

"You'll find out soon enough.. Anyway, if you still don't get it--it was you whom brought me to life--and your ability to bring stuffed toys to life--like me. I thought you already know.. I mean, you witnessed it, yourself, didn't you?"

Napakamot ako sa batok ko dahil sa hiya. "Sorry, actually... nakapikit ako nung time na 'yun. Hehehe...but I did feel... something when I said those words earlier," Nagtaka na lang ako nang napa-facepalm s'ya. "What?"

"Ikaw talaga... Hay naku.. Nevermind that, wala tayong time na mag-aksaya. We need to move fast!" Ano naman 'yung ibig sabihin niya 'dun? "Basta! Tsaka ko na sasabihin at ie-explain ang lahat, kapag nagsama-sama na kayong pito,"

Pito? Kaming pito? Sino ba kasi? Pa'no ko naman malalaman, kung 'di niya sasabihin..? "Sige na nga. Pagbibigyan kita. Here's a hint, yung anim na kailangan mong hanapin ay nandito lang sa school na ito. At mukhang kakilala mo rin sila."

Hmm... kaklase ko ba? "Basta, hanapin mo sila. Tutulungan naman rin kita sa search mo, bro. So, 'wag kang mag-alala" Is he a mind-reader? Parang alam niya ang mga nasa isip ko, ha? "Oo,"

Wow, dalawa ang powers niya, in fairness, ha? "Dal'wa nga powers ko, pero ayoko 'yung 'mind-reading' ability... minsan, may mga naririnig akong ayoko marinig, e..."

Katulad ni Kotoura-chan.. buti na lang at nakahanap din s'ya ng mga kaibigan, that will stay by her side, no matter what. "Oo nga, e. Buti na lang. She'd been through much already.. though that 'guy' is a weirdo,"

I know, right? "Hahaha!" Busy kaming dal'wa tumawa, kaya 'di namin napansin na may bumukas ng pinto. "Ojamashimasu!"

[Mashiro: "Ojamashimasu!" means "excuse me" in English, when someone went inside someone else's place]

"Gasp!" Nabigla kaming dalawa dahil 'dun. We'll continue this discussion later, okay, bro? "Sure, sure--" I just had to blurt that out.. Awkward... hopefully, I can find a way outta this..

"Hm?" Humarap na 'ko sa babaeng nagsalita, trying my best to stay calm. "H-hello, madamoiselle. What brings you to my humble home?" Was that being too polite of me..? Also, mademoiselle? Ugh..

Tumawa na lang 'yung babae, walang tigil s'yang tumawa--napagulong na nga s'ya at napahawak sa tiyan sa kakatawa. "W-what's so funny?" Tinuro niya 'ko, sabay-sabi, "You! Hahaha! I can't stop laughing! Hahaha!"

What's with her, bro? Ewan ko rin.. hehehe...

After ilang minuto kakatawa, tumayo na s'ya at ulit nagsalita. "But, seriously, why were you acting so polite to me? I'm no queen, or princess, or whatever.. you can talk to me--in a natural way, you know?"

"Oh. Sorry about... that. I was so startled, that I... you know.. hehehe.." Hindi ko nga rin alam kung bakit 'yun pa talaga ang lumabas sa bibig ko, e... "You don't have to be sorry. It's fine."
