MYSTERIUM CLAVA (VOLUME 1) | COMPLETED

CHAPTER 16

DAVE

I CAN’T believe that I am going to do this. Hindi ko talaga lubos akalain na darating ang araw na pag-aaralan ko ang paghawak nang mga armas.

"Ms. Velasco? Ms. Velasco!" Napatayo na lang ako sa gulat dahil sa pasigaw na pagtawag sa'kin nang aking class adviser na si Mr. Barcelon.

"S-sir? Yes, sir?"

"Anong sir, yes, sir? Ano ka sundalo?" mataray niyang tugon. Napakamot na lang ako nang ulo dahil sa pagkapahiya.

"S-sorry sir," nakangisi kong paghingi nang paumanhin sa kanya.

"Okay. Sit down and listen to the discussion. Hindi 'yung nakatulala ka na lang sa kawalan.” I just nodded in response. Gosh! Was I really that occupied at hindi ko na naririnig na tinatawag na pala ako ng class adviser ko. 

Grabe! Nakakahiya talaga! After class, I quickly packed up my things and dali daling lumabas nang room. Sh*t! Muntik ko nang makalimutan na ngayon pala ang first day namin nang training nang mga weapons sa Dalmacio Residence. And my trainor? She is non-other than, Crystal Dalmacio!

-

"CRAIGE! D*mn it! Umayos ka nga!" narinig kong sigaw ni Ate Crystal habang hinahabol ng sipa at suntok si Craige.

"T-teka, Ate!" This is the first time that I saw him stutter. I don't know kung matatawa ba ako or what. He looks like a kid that running away from his elder sister that is ready to spank her anytime. Such a cute brother and sister combination.

Palapit na sana ako sa kanila nang biglang may kumalabit sa 'kin. OMG! Pagharap ko ay mayroong isang cute na batang babae na may salamin. Ang cute niya!

"Hi there! Are you my kuya's girlfriend? How can I tell? Very simple. Yung titig at tawa mo sa kuya ko ang isang patunay na girlfriend or if not, crush mo siya,” nakangising sabi nang bata. Wait? What? She's good but obviously wrong.

"Hey! Kung ano-anong deductions sinasabi mo dyan Eli!" narinig ko ang tawag nang isang lalaki sa bata mula sa loob. W-wait. I know that voice. 

And just hearing him, it really gives me chills through my spine. That man was none other than the President of Holmes Academy's Office of the Student Affairs. Lucius Dalmacio. Damn! I should have expected this. Magkakapatid nga pala sila.

"Ms. Dave Velasco. If that serve my memory right." I just nod at him. Hindi ko ba alam kung bakit nagiging tila isang tuod sa kanyang harapan. He is so freaking intimidating but hot. Sh*t! Ano ba itong mga naiisip ko?!

"By the way… I apologize on how our acted on you." Then he looked at the kid like he is talking to her through his mind. Napayuko naman ang bata at saka matamlay akong nilapitan.

"Hello Ate. I'm sorry nga pala kanina and my name is Eleandra Dalmacio but, just call me Eli," she introduced herself with a very sweet smile on her lips. Grabe! Sobrang cute at napaka-lambing ni Eli!

"Hi Eli, you can just call me Ate Dave. Don't worry, friends lang kami ni Kuya mo."

"Ang weird, ah. Ate tapos Dave? Panlalaki ‘yung pangalan na Dave, eh." Ang cute tignan ni Eli habang napapaisip siya. Napailing na lamang si Lucius habang nakikitang nangungulit ang bunso nilang kapatid.

"Dave, andyan ka na pala?!" Masiglang tawag sa'kin ni Ate Crystal. I just smiled at her.

"Kanina ka pa ba dito?" Mataray na tanong in Craige na hinihingal.

"Maybe long enough to see you run like a kid from your sister," I answered with a playful smirk. I heard him cursed dahil sa sinabi ko. 

"Don't worry Mr. President, I won't tell," I assured him.
