When the class dismiss. Amaya, Jia and Kaily quickly went to me with a widden smile on their face. I knit my forehead because it was really confusing.


"What happened?" I asked.

"What will you wear for later, Alina?" Jia asked.

"Ahmm, still don't have an idea."

"What? Oh come on! Come with us, we will go to the mall." Jia pulled me forcefully.


We were at the soccer field when i saw a soccer ball on the air. I followed the ball and it looks like Jia will be hit by the ball. They didn't notice it because the ball was too fast. I pulled her and caught the ball with my 2 hands. I look at the players and the one is running towards to me. I gave the ball to him.


"Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, i'm okay. Nothing to worry about." I said.

"So fast. I thought your friend will be hit by the ball. Thanks to you." And he smiled at me.

"Welcome." And i smiled back.


He turned his back to us and start walking to the field. I look at them and saw their confused faces.


"What?" I asked them.

"How did you do that?" Kaily asked me.

"Adrenaline rush." I simply said.


It's normal to me when someone asked me like that. I always say it's 'adrenaline rush'.


"Thank you, Alina. That's cool.......let's go. We need to go to the mall." And Jia pulled me again.


When we arrived at the mall. Amaya, Jia and Kaily was so excited to pick me a clothes to wear. I'm like a doll wearing those clothes they pick. I just shook my head. After that we went to a store. They buy a new make ups and new clothes. Pagkatapos namin ay nang makaramdam kami ng gutom ay nagtungo kami sa isang resturant. I feel uncomfortable and i don't know why. I feel that someone is staring at me and following us. I look around but i didn't see anyone. I just feel that there's not right.



Amaya's POV:
I felt something not right to Alina. I felt something that she has a deep secret. I was really confuse and curious why she's always in the highest rank even though she's not studying. I didn't even encounter her that she's reading her notes and books. I didn't encounter her that she's struggling because of her school and that's really confusing. Ayaw kong maghinala sakanya pero yun ang napapansin ko. Lagi siyang nasa honor kahit hindi naman siya nagrereview. Ni minsan hindi ko siya nakita na nagaaral siya o nahihirapan man lang sa studies niya. Oo, kaibigan ko si Alina pero she's really different. I think something isn't right to her. Her intelligence, her adrenaline rushed and anything.....is not normal for a normal person like others. Wala pa akong naeencounter na katulad niya na hindi nagrereview pero nakakasama sa highest honor. At siya lang ang napapansin kong ganon.

Kumakain na kami ngayon sa restaurant.

"Alina, what do you want?" Kaily asked me.

"Just pasta." And i smiled.

"Okay, wala na bang iba?"

"Wala na."


When we are waiting for our food to serve. We talk about something. Ganito kasi kami nag kkwentuhan ng mga nangyari saamin. Yung tungkol school and anything. Nang naserve na ang food namin ay kumain narin kami.
