"Guys! This is Shoyo from Class 1B." Masayang pakilala ko kay shoyo sa mga kaibigan ko.
"We know, Eyen." Gabriél smile at me and shoyo. "Welcome to Special Club, Shoyo."
"How come you know?" I ask.
"Kalat na kaya sa buong Academy." Masungit na sabi ni Henry
"Huwag mo ngang sungitan si Eyen, you ugly freak!" Binatukan pa ni Wilson ang kakambal niya and they start bickering— as always.
"Everyone is talking about him, Eyen. He's the only one you recruited so far, after all." Sabi naman ni Paul habang nililinis ang mesa na kumikintab na.
"Not that. Everyone is jealous that you invite him here." Sabi ni tyron
"Oh." Ngumiti ako kay Shoyo. "don't mind the jealousy of those students. Anyway. It's friday so we will do hunting and adventure — that's our schedule. You will gonna love it here, Shoyo." Hinawakan ko siya sa kamay.
"Anyway, this is Aubrey."
"Hi." Nahihiyang sabi ni Shoyo. Hahaha so cute ...Ngumiti naman si Aubrey kay Shoyo-kun.
"Please feel free. Hindi kami nangangain." Mahina akong natawa sa sinabi ni Aubrey.
"Hellooo I'm wendy, please be comfortable with us."
"Thank you."
"This is Prince Gabriél." Shoyo bow at him. Ngumiti naman si Gabriél sa kanya.
"I actually know everyone here, Ms Eyen."
"I know. It's for the proper introduction hahahaha.. that two is the bickering twins. Wilson and Henry." Turo ko sa dalawang nag aaway at nasa sahig na.
"This is Paul, our cleaning master." Ngumiti naman si Paul.
"Hello shoyo."
"Hi."
"That's kyle. Our chef and then Olson, our pastry chef." Nakangising pakilala ko sa kanila. Olson greet and welcome Shoyo in our club and Kyle just smile at him and didn't talk. Hindi din naman kasi palasalita.
"That's Skyler. The Elegant and graceful handsome butler."
"Too much for your compliment lady Eyen. Hi I'm skyler. Nice meeting you, Shoyo." Nakipagkamay pa siya kay shoyo
"Bakit walang Handsome sa pagpapakilala mo samin Eyen!?" Reklamo ni Olson.
"Oo nga!!!" Na sinang ayunan talaga ng iba.
"You should introduce me as 'Handsome Prince Gabriél', my lady."
I just stuck my tongue out at them and laugh softly. Even the girls, complain hahaha.
"Hi I'm handsome Tyron Reid. Please Enjoy your stay here." Pakilala ni Tyron sa sarili
"I'm shoyo Cavalier. And ahm. Thanks."
"Mahilig manlibre yang si Tyron so if you want free food, just stick with him." Natatawang sabi ko. Tyron just smiled proudly. "That's Poseidon. You know him too, since he's the Council President. And that guy is Red blood cells."
"There is no Blood cells in my name Eyen!" Tinawanan lang siya namin. Hindi ko na din siya sinagot at lumapit na kami kay hakken na nakaupo sa sofa
"This is Hakken."
"Hi, I'm shoyo." Hakken looked at him then he look at me.
"Sorry. He's not talkative. And anyway— that guy wearing half mask who is busy watching." Tinuro ko si Callaile. Na nakasuot ng ear pad at nakafocus sa panunuod sa cellphone ko. "His name is Callaile."
Umupo ako sa tabi ni Hakken and hakken start playing with my hair. "Kyle, Callaile and Hakken are not really talkative so bear with them hahahaha."
"Is that an insult, Eyen?" Baling sakin ni Kyle.
"No?" Nakangiting sabi ko. "That's a fact not an insult, Kyle."
"Smart." Poseidon said. "Welcome to the Club, Shoyo. Here's your club uniform." Binigay niya kay shoyo ang mga damit na gagamit sa bawat schedule ng club namin. "May pangalan naman yang mga damit for our club schedule." Yeah may pangalan nga yun. Like our Basketball jersey. May nakalagay yun na Basketball.
"Shoyo." Hinawakan ni Tyron si shoyo.
"I will teach you about our club." Olson and tyron take care of shoyo. Nakisalamuha na din naman kay shoyo ang iba. Napangiti na lang ako. I hope he will enjoy here.
"I will braid your hair, darling."
He sniffed my hair before answering. "Okay." Ngumiti ako sa kanya bago tumayo. Kinuha ko ang suklay ko at ang mga pantali sa buhok sa bag...
I brush hakken's hair before I start braiding it.
"You love touching my hair, Mate."
"Yep." I heard him laugh softly. "What an adorable mate." He whisper.
Ngumiti lang ako ... Lumapit din naman si Gabriél samin at umupo sa tabi ni Hakken sa sofa...
"We should get ready for our Adventure and hunting schedule, Eyen."
"Tatapusin ko muna 'to." Sabi ko sa kanya. "Magbihis na kaya kayo?" I said.
"Later. We can't leave you here alone." Sinulyapan pa nito si Hakken.
"Oh... Hakken is here though. So I'm not alone."
"Jealous, aren't we?" Seryosong sabi ni Hakken
"Huh? Sinong nagseselos?" Takang sabi ko.
"No one Eyen."
"There's a lot of people who are jealous of me, mate."
"Why? Because you're handsome?" Ngumisi lang si Hakken at hindi na nagsalita... While Gabriél looks like he couldn't believe what he have heard.
"I'm handsome too Eyen." Reklamo nito
"Yeah I know. And kind too." I said. He smile at me proudly...
Natapos ko din naman ang pagbe-braid sa buhok ni Hakken. Pumunta na kaming Girls sa Girl's restroom— syempre nasa boy's restroom naman ang mga lalaki...
"Ah. Your boobs are really big!" I even poke Wendy's breast. She instantly blush.
"Yours are big as well, Eyen." I look at my breast.
"Yours is bigger." Ngumisi ako at hinarap si Aubrey. "right aubrey."
"Yeah." Tumatangong sang ayon pa niya. She even poke Wendy's breast too. Hahahaha.
"Aubrey!" Saway ni wendy kay Aubrey...
Matapos magbihis ay lumabas na din naman kami. The boys are waiting for us already... Actually— for our adventure/hunting uniform— It's a boys scout and girls scout uniform hehehe... I'm a girl scout way back!
My friends are so cute wearing that uniform hahaha. I also prepared badges!
Anyway Laurel Sensei is also wearing the uniform— he's our adviser in the club and of course! He will come with us hahaha and of course! He will lead the way. He opened the portal... Same like kuya Jenos— Sensei have Spatial Magic. Only few people have that magic.
Tumalon ako sa likod ni Hakken. "Let's go on Adventureeeeee." I shouted while i turn my hand into fist and raise it... I smiled at them and they smiled back.
"Yeah!" Ginaya nila ako at inalsa din ang kamay habang nakakuyom ang kamao. I laugh softly. Naglakad na din naman si Hakken papasok ng portal.
"We will enter the forest and Our goal is to reach the falls." Sabi ni Sir ng makalabas kami sa portal. "Beware, There is a demon lurking around and you need to fight them." Tumango tango kami sa sinabi ni Sir. "Let's go." Sensei jump into the Cliff...
"Bakit hindi na lang tayo dinala ni Sir Laurel sa ibaba gamit ang Portal niya!?" Tanong ni Paul.
"Oo nga." Naglakad si Wendy na muntik ng matumba para tingnan lang ang ibaba ng bangin.. we see the forest up here... Bumaba na ako sa likod ni Hakken
"GO DOWN HERE! NOW!!" rinig naming sigaw ni Sir. I think this cliff is 55 ft in high.
"Hindi pa ba kayo nakakatalon sa bangin?" Tanong ko sa kanila ng makaharap ako... Tumango naman sila sakin maliban kay hakken, Poseidon and Red blood cells. I smile at them. "Then add this on your experience." Umatras ako at hinayaang mahulog ang sarili ko.
"EYEN!!" Sigaw nila...
"JUST JUMP GUYS!" I shouted back ...
I smiled when I saw hakken. He want to reach my hand... Inangat ko ang kamay ko at hinawakan ang kamay niya. He smiled back at me and we safely landed on the ground...
Nagsisunudan na din naman sila.
"That was intense!"
"Nerve wrecking!"
"Tangina!"
"I thought I'm going to die!"
Natawa lang ako sa mga reaction nila... We enter the forest and Sensei is taking the lead. Then a lot of ogre demon show up.
"I will protect you, Eyen." Most of them said.
"I can protect my mate and for sure. She can protect herself." Walang ganang sabi ni Hakken na hindi na pinansin ng iba pero ikinasama naman ng mukha ng iba. With hakken's power, Ice. The demons didn't get a chance to get closer to us and they're frozen solid.
"Galing." Manghang sabi ni Shoyo.
"Shoyo! Magaling din ako!" Sabi naman ni Tyron then he Punch the frozen ogre demon and it crushed into pieces. He even flex his muscle after that hahahaha.
"Strong Tyron!" I said, grinning... My jaw dropped when everyone, Except for hakken, Shoyo, Tyron and Sensei— showed their power and they crushed the demons into pieces as well.
"I'm strong too Eyen." Halos sabay sabay nilang sabi.
"Yeah."
Nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad.. may mga nakakalaban din kaming demons sa daan.
"You want to ride on my back?" Napatingin ako kay Hakken. Bago pa ako makasagot lumapit samin si Olson
"Eyen." Ngumiti siya sakin. "If you're tired. I can carry you, my lady."
"I can carry you too, Eyen." Sabi naman ni Gabriél.
"I'm your knight, Prince Gab." Mahina akong natawa.
"So?" Nakangusong sagot nito.
"I can carry my mate." Sabat naman ni Hakken. They glared at each other.
"I can walk guys." Napapailing habang natatawang sabi ko. Napanguso silang tatlo... Even hakken! Cool!
"Eyen. Want?" Kyle gave me a food and skyler give me a drink
"Thanks."
"Naruto became stronger, right?" Tanong ni Callaile ng makalapit siya sakin.
"Just watch and you will find out Cal. I don't want to spoil you."
"You're not spoiling me!"
"If I tell you what you've ask me, maspoil na kita sa kwento."
"But I want to know!" Pilit niya.
"He's already strong, Cal."
"What are you two talking about?" Inakbayan kaming dalawa ni Olson.
"Get your arms away from my mate!" Sinamaan nito ng tingin si Olson.
"Kalma, Vampire boy. Huwag mong sipsipin ang dugo ko!" Olson tease.
"Your blood is contaminated— No vampire will ever drink your blood" seryosong sabi ni Hakken.
"Boom burn." Natatawang sabi ko. Hinawakan naman ni Hakken ang kamay ko
"Okay ka lang?" Natatawang tanong ni Kyle kay Olson.
"Ang sama niya!!!" Reklamo ni Olson na nagda-drama.
Our adventure/hunting are full of talks, laughter and fighting... Ligtas din naman kaming nakarating sa goal area namin.
"Wow!"
Napangiti ako at agad na tumakbo sa tabi ng ilog. Sobrang linaw ng tubig. Meron pang maliliit na isda na lumalangoy sa gilid. And the sound of the water from the falls coming down. the birds singing and also the sound of the wind... This is so peaceful.
Nagpahinga lang kami sandali bago namin inayos ang mga dalang tent dahil dito na kami matutulog— dito na din naman kami mag te-training for our training subject and Shoyo are excused— he will trained with us. Poseidon and Red— who is the oldest in this group of students— will stay here as well— nagpaalam na din naman sila sa mga guro nila...
Pagkatapos namin sa Tent ay nagtraining na din naman kami... It's Physical and magic training... after our training we already prepared the foods— Henry, Paul and Callaile take a woods somewhere— Me, Olson and Kyle are preparing the ingredients.. may nakuha kasi kaming baboy ramo kanina— Poseidon and Red are the one who cleaned that boar. Hakken is here, beside me and watching me... And the rest are preparing the foods that we bring when we got here.
"Pwede ka ng mag asawa" Hakken said. "Should I buy a ring now, Mate?"
"Can you please stop flirting with Eyen?" Kyle said. Hakken just ignored him like he doesn't hear him talking.
"Stop flirting daw, Hakken."
"It's darling, love." Nilaro nito ang dulo ng buhok ko.
"Utusan mo nga yang tumulong, Eyen." Nakangusong sabi ni Olson. Mahina akong natawa... It looks like they hate him but they actually don't hate him. Weird.
"Do you know how to cut onions?"
"No."
"You don't know how to cook?" He nodded his head. "Of course! You don't! The one who looks like you— Ke doesn't know how to cook as well." He gave me a dead pan look. I grin. "Marunong lang kayong kumain!" Sabi ko.
"Yes." He lean and whisper to my ear. "I only know how to eat, love. Wanna try?"
With my eyes widen, Heart racing, lungs stop functioning. I slowly move my head to look at him. Breathless... He have this flirty smile plastered on his lips.
"Baka! Hontou Bakaaaaaa!!!" Sigaw ko at saka Tinalikuran ko siya at mabilis na umalis doon at pumasok sa tent.. i can feel my face burning!!!! s**t! Why did he say that? Wait... May meaning ba yun sa kanya? Or ako lang ang nagbibigay ng meaning sa sinabi niya! Damn it!! Damn!!!!!
*****
Gabi na at nandito kami nakapalibot sa bonfire... Nasa tabi ko din si Hakken, hiding his wild grin. Pasimpleng Siniko ko siya but he didn't even move a muscle and that grin he's hiding is still there! Tch! He hold my hand and played with my fingers.
"Thank you, Ms Eyen." Napatingin ako kay shoyo ng bigla siyang magpasalamat. "Ito yung unang pagkakataon na maranasan ko 'to... This adventure and hunting. The training. Preparing of foods..."
"You're having so much fun, too Right?" Nakangising sabat ni Olson. "We are too." Tumingin si Olson sakin at ngumiti. "My lady is so smart, thinking about fun and games in our club."
"I'm really happy that you came into my life, Eyen."
"That she came to our life you mean."
"Eyen, Can we grow old together?"
"I wanna grow old with you too, Eyen."
I put my hand where my heart is and smiled at them. "You became my friends, My family in this world.... It may not be forever. But I will stay with you guys, as long as I'm breathing."
