Moon Academy 2: Spirits (COMPLETED)

❄️Spirits 12:Dormmate

Courtney Neon

This is awkward. Pinapanood lang naming ayusin ang mga gamit ng kararating na bagong kasama sa kwarto namin.

Gusto ko sana siyang tulungan,kausapin at maging kaibigan dahil mukhang lonely siya pero ang sama ng tingin ni Emerald sa'kin. Para bang sinasabi na, 'Try to approach her you'll be dead.' Kalurkey.

"You sure had some stuffs to keep and fix." si Emerald mismo ang nagsalita. Pero you know, labas sa ilong. Iritang-irita talaga siya kay Devan. Hindi naman siya masamang tao. Yep, she's our dormmate.

"Yeah." tipid niyang sagot at tinapos ang pagliligpit sa damitan niya saka tumingin kay Em na napataas agad ang kilay. "You hate me,right? There's no point talking to me if it's force. It's unpleasant to hear." pinalobo ko ang aking pisngi para hindi matawa sa itsura ni Emerald. Maging si Heaven ay napatakip ng bibig. Em's face was crumpled and irritated. Paano ba naman, diretsahan kasi kung magsalita si Devan,walang preno ang bibig.

Parang si Devy lang. Pero hindi kalmado ang boses niya,kaya mahuhulaan mo agad kung sino sakanila si Devon at Devan.

"That's true. I don't like you neither trust you. I don't want to be friend at you. I hate you,a fact. Hindi ko alam kung nagpapanggap ka lang o sinadya mong tularan ang kaibigan namin. Your name,looks, attitude,style and magic was similar to her. I'm doubting you and right now, I'm thinking that you're only deceiving us and you're a traitor." Pagpapakatotoo ni Emerald. Napasinghap pa kaming dalawa ni Heaven dahil sa mga sinabi niya. That was savage.

But instead Devan will be angry, she smiled. "Thank you. For telling the truth. Emerald,right? I like your attitude." nagkatinginan kaming tatlo. Weird niya.

Umupo siya sa kaniyang kama at nagdekwatro. "Her. You mean, Devon?" she started. Wait,how did she know our Devy?

"You're curious Courtney. The answer is obvious. Some lunaphile students approached me, and calling me Devon." Natutop ko tuloy ang bibig ko. Nakakabasa ba siya ng isipan?

"At first, I thought they just mispelled my name. But then, someone called me Devy. Then I gathered informations about Devon, I've got nothing. But as what you've said Emerald, me and Devon are similar in different things. So that means...... I look like her." tumango kami sa paliwanag niya. Napakamot ito ng ulo.

"I see. Kaya pala ganun na lang ang pagka-irita mo sa'kin. May galit ka ba kay Devon?" tanong pa nito. Pertaining to Em.

Emerald tsked. "No. I just hate you."

Ngumiti muli siya. "I'll clear myself then. It's fine if you hate me,disgust me or kill me in your mind. But I'm not a spy nor traitor. I have no intentions and I'm innocent. I don't even know who is Devon,nor what she looks like. I'm only a transferee."

"Still, I hate you." Emerald quoted.

"Em!" suway ni Heaven. "I'm sorry,Devan. Suplada kasi ang babaeng 'to." paghingi niya ng tawad. Tumawa lang ng mahina si Devan,gosh! So cute!

"It's ok. Sanay naman ako." aniya.

"Attention,students. Lunch is ready."

Napatingin kaming lahat sa sulok at may nakasabit doong maliit na speaker. Waaahh! Nag-iimprove na talaga ang academy!

"Um...Ako na ang mauunang bababa. Mukhang may pag-uusapan pa kayo. See you later." basag ni Devan sa saglit na katahimikan at pinihit ang pintuan ang saka lumabas. Isasara na sana niya ang pinto ng lumingon pa ito sa amin.

"I apologize for my rude behavior a while ago. But having a conversation with you three makes me feel happy. So....um....I hope we can be friends." pahabol nito at ngumiti saka tuluyang sinarado ang pintuan.

Pinakinggan pa namin ang papalayong hakbang nito hanggang sa wala na kaming marinig.

Emerald snap her fingers. "Heaven,check outside. We're having a three minute talk."

Mabilis na umaksyon si Heaven at sumilip sa labas saka sumulyap sa'min. "She's totally gone."

Mabilis kaming lumapit sa kama niya at nagsi upo. Seryoso na ngayon ang mukha niya.

"What do you think?" Em asked. She's referring to Devan.

I raised my right hand. "She's good and true. She can easily read the situation." I gave my comments.

Heaven raised her right hand,too. "Gusto ko ang ugali niya at nakuha niya ang loob ko. Though, malaki talaga ang pagkakahawig nila ni Devon, we can make that as excemption."

Nagkibit balikat si Emerald. "Muntik na niya ring makuha ang loob ko. Pero, nagdududa pa rin ako kahit na nilinis niya ang pangalan niya sa'tin. I can't make friends to her. That's my intuition telling me."

"Hindi namin mababago ang pananaw mo,Em. Pero sana, buksan mo ang puso mo kay Devan. Bigyan mo siya ng chance." sabi ko.

"What about Devon and Savannah?" hindi kami nakaimik sa tanong niya. "Ano sa tingin niyo ang mararamdaman ni Devon at Savannah kung tinanggap natin sa grupo si Devan? We can't accept that as excemption because of their similarities. Paano kung bumalik si Devon ng hindi natin nalalaman? Parang ang kinalabasan ng pagtanggap sakaniya ay ang pagpalit sa pwesto ni Devon. I mean, parang naghanap lang tayo ng isa pang Devon para makalimutan ang nadaramang konsensya at pagsisisi. Dahil nami-miss lang natin siya."

She nailed it. Tears escaped down through Heaven's cheek,so am I.

"This is.....all my fault! A-Ako dapat yung n-nandun—"

"Hindi....hindi mo kasalanan Heaven." pareho kaming napalingon kay Em na nakayuko.

Then, she sobs. "Nakiusap ako sakaniya.....n-na tulungan k-ka Heaven. I-I h-heard Savannah and Spirit E-Evo talked about the d-deal after t-the war. Because of d-desperation, I-I ran into D-Dev and t-told everything.....I-I'm s-sorry! It's....all my fault! I was scared! I'm a c-coward!"

We hugged her tightly. She keeps sobbing. Ganito pala kabigat ang dinadala niya. Siya ang mas naapektuhan. Pero....

"Hindi mo kasalanan,Em. It's Devon's choice,right?" pagpapakalma ko.

"We're really sorry,ate. Hindi namin naisip ang nararamdaman mo." Heaven apologized.

"It will be alright." I assured.
