Allison Academy

Chapter17: The Unexpected Announcement

Ano ba problema na naman ng lalaking ‘to? Palagi nalang mukhang galit sa lahat.

Bigla naman natakot sa kaniya si Trevor kaya mabilis pa sa alas-kwatrong nagtago siya sa aking likuran.

“Haah. Pwede ba, ‘wag mo ako gawing panangga.” iritableng sinabi ko at tinampal ang kamay ni Trevor na nakahawak pa sa aking balikat.

Matapos niyang bumitaw sa ‘kin ay kinausap na siya nila class rep., Hindi ako magugulat kung maging close sila, parehas naman silang masiyahin e. While they’re having a conversation, a sudden chill run down my spine which made me flinched.

For a split second, I sensed someone is looking at us. Automatically, I roam my gaze.

What’s with that?

I look at everywhere. I tried to search that person, but I can’t sense its presence anymore. Surprisingly, it vanished instantly.

“W-What’s with that weird feeling...” I murmured. I can’t help it but to shiver in fear and anxiousness. I don’t have any idea why I’m feeling this now but—

It’s like someone is watching us, with malicious intent...

        That moment,
           even for just a second,
                   I sensed bloodlust.

“Eris?”
“Miss Eris?”
“Hoy, Eris!”

My mind is too occupied that I can only hear the voices of my friends. I suddenly covered my mouth. I feel like I’m about to vomit.

There’s no doubt about it, I’m really sure that’s what I felt.

That sickening bloodlust...

Just thinking about the feeling of it makes me shiver again.

What in the world... was that?

“Eris!” malakas na sigaw ni Hannah at hinampas ako ng libro sa aking braso dahilan para mabalik ako sa reyalidad.

“Ano ba!? Bakit kailangan mo pa mang hampas?” inis na tanong ko habang nakahawak sa aking braso at napatingin sa librong inihampas niya sa akin.

“Ah! Miss Eris...” nag-aalalang nasabi ni Trevor.

“It’s okay, don’t mind them. Normal na ‘yan sa kanilang dalawa.” Class rep. said as he smiles. Trevor just looked at us confused.

“Eh? Normal?”

“Oh, you don’t know? They’re childhood best friends.” nasabi nalang ni class rep.

“So it’s her!” hindi makapaniwang nasabi ni Trevor.

“Hannah, saan mo naman ‘yan nakuha? Encyclopedia ba ‘yan, ang kapal at ang sakit ha!” no wonder kung bakit halos matumba ako sa pagkakahampas niya.

“What’s the matter? Kanina ka pa namin tinatawag pero parang nakatulog ka na.” Jacob said while looking at me innocently. Para niya akong inaasar kung paano niya ako tingnan, and it really pisses me off. He also knows how to annoy me.

“Stop looking at me like that. Seryoso ka ba? Wala naman tao nakakatulog ng dilat ang mga mata at nakatayo!” I scowled. I sighed and closed my eyes in frustration.

“Miss Eris, are you okay?” Trevor asked. I know he’s worried about me, but I can’t tell it to them. I just took a deep breath.
