- Prosecutor Jax Scott.

Kung maka-ilang beses na ba akong napapikit at bumuntong-hininga nang mabasa iyon ay hindi ko na rin alam.

Kasalukuyan akong nasa loob ng cubicle at kanina pa tinititigan ang text message na na-receive ko mula kay Prosecutor Jax habang nagka-klase.

Nakagat ko ang labi ko at kahit pinagpapawisan ang kamay ay nag-reply ako.

"Hindi kaya ng one mission a day? Kailangan sabay-sabay po? Pwedeng huminga? Mag lu-lunch break pa lang kami nang wa-warshock na po?"

Ilang segundo lang ay nakatanggap agad ako ng reply.

Mission #3: Start befriending Lyle Heimsworth.

Pinatay ko nalang ang phone ko dahil baka siya pa ang mapatay ko.

Imagine, ilang oras pa lang akong naririto sa school na 'to at hindi pa nga ako umaabot ng lunch break, tatlo agad ang missions ko.

Trigger happy ata si Jax.

I turned my phone off and when I composed myself, I went out of the cubicle and watched my reflection in the mirror.

"Kaya mo 'yan, Reign," bulong ko sa sarili at ini-ayos ang buhok. "Remember, you're a Harriett."

Ngumiti ako at nagsimula nang lumabas at naglakad. Ilang oras pa lang nang makatuntong ako rito but everything felt like happened in weeks.

As I observed the class, I noticed that everyone was actually creepy in a way that I can't describe it. Everyone in Class 12-A was disturbing enough to bring chills down my spine.

And to be honest, that feeling... was challenging.

Habang naglalakad pabalik ng room na kung saan nagpa-alam lang ako na gagamit ako ng rest room ay napansin kong pinagtitinginan ako.

Gustong manlambot ng tuhod ko nang mapansin ko kung ano ang tinitingnan nila.

Napahawak ako sa gold-colored na nametag sa uniform ko.

This thing...is it...really that powerful enough to draw attention?

I sighed.

Nang marating ko ang room ay agad akong pumasok. Wala manlang ni-isang tumingin sa akin. As I watched them, everyone seemed like a normal student indulged with our teacher's discussion.

When I looked at the man sitting at the back, my eyes almost gleamed.

Lyle Heimsworth was there, listening with his signature cold face.

Mission #3, locked.

In a split of few seconds, I looked at everyone too.

Grey was taking down notes.

Braelyn was teaching Nashville.

Levi had his eyes half-closed.

Missi kept on looking at herself from her small mirror.

Wala pa rin si Reese na malamang ay napagalitan nang malala ni Sir Ivan.

Ang iba naming kaklase, kung hindi inaantok ay tahimik lang na nakikinig.
