21st Century Goddess

chapter 40 (Smile)

Hey yow! Pasensya na talaga sa delays ng updates ko. Sabi ko pa naman one or two times a week ako mag-uupdate, pero hindi ko nagawa. :((

Babawiin ko na muna ang promise kong iyun, kasi sure akong hindi ko magagawa eh. Yeah, screw me! Promises are really made to be broken. ;( But of course I'm doing this slow updates involuntarily. Nawalan kasi kami ng internet connection, ngayon nanghahagilap pa ako ng wifi sa tabi tabi. I hope you understand guys...And please be patient, I'm trying my best to make my chapters more interesting and exciting for you. Para worth the wait naman, diba? Let us please understand each other guys ;)

Anyway, you guys are so cool! Ang dami ko ng followers! 500! (Well, that's already so big for an amateur writer like me) Thank you so much guys! And oh! Nagiging talkative na kayo ah! I like that! ;) Keep on commenting, I don't care kung anuman ang isulat niyo basta magcomment lang kayo, kung gaano man ka gwapo at hot si Zach o kung gaano ka cool si Zy, kung gaano nakaka bwisit si Megan, or kung gaano ka in-denial ang 'Z couple', kahit ano, para fun naman. Nakaka-enjoy kayang magbasa ng reactions. And yeah, keep on guessing. :))

Ang dami ko ng nasabi. Tsk. Ok, I'll shut up now. :D

Zach's POV

"Dude, kailangan na nating maghanda."

"Yeah, and we might still need more research about Arabella and her stone."

Naglalakad na kaming lima patungo sa loob ng academy. Kararating lang namin galing sa kingdom namin. And I still can't get over with this freakin' mission.

This mission is hard! Considering that it's about Arabella and most especially about the stone. That f*cking stone! It caused so much trouble in the past. And now they want us to find it with the creator's descendant?! To think that most of the men who were given this mission in the past almost didn't come back and well, let me tell you, majority of them really died. Kaya nga pinahinto na nila ang paghahanap nito, but now... they're making us do it.

This is a real pain the arse!

But of course, I won't back out. Ngayon pa na binigyan kami ng isang napaka importanteng task, and I don't want to disappoint the entire council and especially my parents. *sigh*

Habang naglalakad kami, nagtitilian na naman ang mga nadaraanan naming mga estudyante. Well, nasanay na din naman kami sa mga eksenang ganito, araw araw ko ba namang nararanasan. Hindi ko lang talaga maiwasang mairita ngayon, lalong lalo na, na may iniisip akong isang napaka komplikadong bagay. I just can't help but frown at them.

May naramdaman naman akong kakaiba habang naglalakad kami. Bigla akong tiningnan ni Matt ng huminto ako sa paglalakad. "Did you feel it?" Tanong niya. Tumango ako. Luminga linga naman ang ulo nito as if examining the surrounding.

I don't know but, I think I know that presence, but this time it's much stronger.

"Dude, bakit?" Biglang tanong ni Ed sa amin. Nagkatinginan lang ulit kami ni Matt. I just shrugged. "Let's go, hindi pa ako kumakain. Nagugutom na ako and I want to get rid of this tension and this noisy surrounding! So please let's go!" Mukhang hindi lang pala ako ang iritado ngayon. Steph is usually composed and all, but now I think hindi din niya mapigilang mairita at mabother dahil sa tension kanina.

Inakbayan naman siya ni Nate at Ed. "Chill, Stephie baby! What do you want? Chocolates? Ok we'll buy you that later. Ok?" Nag-baby talk pa si Ed habang hinihimas ng towel ang noo ni Steph, medyo pawisan kasi. Steph gave him a death glare and Nate just laughed. Napatawa nalang din ako. It's been a while since ginanyan ni Ed si Steph.

Steph is the youngest of our group. Pero ayaw na ayaw niyang binebaby siya, lalung-lalo na daw na siya lang ang babae sa amin. It would make her look weak, sabi niya sa amin. And besides, she has this 'ate' attitude, kaya nakakabasag daw ng trip kapag binebaby namin siya.
