Oh Wise Sage!{25}

Part 1 "Don't Cry"

Izeiah's Pov

The game where they choose the participants for Izeiah's Game still remained unannounced.

It has been 3 days since the ball, just so you know.

"Isn't this a bit boring for my well being?" I said out loud. I pouted and swayed my feet as it dangled while I was sat at the edge of my bed.

"Do you want to go to the ghost town?" Offered Ivan.

I shook my head and frowned at him.

"Is Izeiah turning into a chicken?"

Definition
Chicken
/ˈCHikən/
Pinasosyal na salitang duwag.

To be honest coward sounds much better than chicken.

"I will show you how uncoward I am" I bravely uttered.

"I'm not sure if uncoward is even a word." He retorted back.

"But what if it was?" sabi ko.

"I can guarantee it's not, sweetheart."

"But— But." I tried to think of a reason, but failed miserably.

I never thought about confirming if some of my words that also sound alien to me are actual words.

He then stood up and went to the fridge.

Oh no.

I hope he doesn't see.

"Izeiah!! Did you take the chocolates that was in the fridge?"

"No." I said almost immedietly. I was hungry okay?!!!

There were only 5 chocolates in the bag and it wasn't enough, however it still made me somewhat full. That alone should raise so many questions because I can never be full with chocolates.

"Izeiah you need to have a chocolate control. I'm calling."

"Who? Who?"

"A psychiatrist."

"........." Is that low key telling me I'm crazy?

I stared at Ivan until I could imagine I was burning holes on his body. Even if he finished his call, I still didn't stop.

"He's coming now" Then he came near me.

He then tapped my nose and said:

"Silly Izeiah."

I felt something cold on my wrist.

I looked down and my jaw dropped.

He distracted me!

"Why am I in handcuffs ? Ivan?!!!" I hysterically said as I keep wiggling my hand back and forth. In hopes that a certain someone's arm would be shockingly ripped off during the process.

When his head came close, I was forced to bend my back so I could avoid any contact with his face.

Pero hindi siya nagpatalo.

"I'm not sure if you're close to him, but I can't risk any chance, Izeiah." He whispered.

"I—-I—-" I can't even utter something proper. I pouted.

"Don't pout. Your lips are very tempting."

"I—I need to poop?" I cried the moment I said it. This is too embarassing.😭
