Sinclaire Academy: Half Bloods

Chapter Fifty: Click

Damn he's fast.

When she peaked out of the window all she caught was the faint sight of gold wings until it vanished from thin air.

"Hey"

Athena immediately composed herself, smiling as she faced her little brother. "Hey, you need anything?"

"Anong meron d'yan sa labas?" Naka ngusong tanong ni Blake at nakisilip rin sa labas ng bintana.

"Wala," Athena pulled him back by the collar. "May kailangan ka ba talaga?"

"Sabi ni Mama aalis daw tayo bukas," Napa kamot ng ulo si Blake, taking a last stare outside the window until he finally turned to her. "We're going to the beach"

"The beach really?" Athena's eyebrow raised. They hadn't gone to the beach since forever!

"That's what Uncle Cain called for apparently," napakamot muli si Blake ng ulo. It's clear that he's not really fond of water. "They got it all set so we're leaving tomorrow morning. I'm just here to tell you that now I'm out"

Nasa pintuan na si Blake when Athena suddenly asked, "Si Kuya?"

"Just went out like ten minutes ago to drive his girlfriend to some diner or something... that's what he said" Blake waved without looking back.

Natawa naman siya sa term na ginamit ng kapatid. Blake is clueless.

    "Feeling better?" Nakangiting nilapitan ni Athena si Aria kinaumagahan bago sila umalis. Tinabihan niya ito sa kahoy na bench sa loob ng garahe while the boys were loading stuff inside the family van.

"Yeah. I'm good as new" Ngiti pabalik ni Aria.

She went out of her room last night to join them for dinner feeling all better, but halata sa mukha nito ang pagkakasakit. Pumayat din ito.

Sila ang magkatabi ni Aria habang ang dalawang lalaki naman ay nasa likod, naroon rin ang mga dala nila.

It will be a three hour drive according to their Father who's behind the wheel. Meron namang malapit na beach sa Hangrove pero hindi ganon dinadagsa, it's like an abandond place of some sort kaya napagdesisyunan ng mga nakatatanda na sa beach ng isang connected town nalang pumunta, iyon malapit sa coast talaga para ma enjoy nila ng family trip na ito.

Athena was admiring the view while Aria was asleep beside her, Zeus was doing the same while Blake was playing a game on his phone.

Hindi pa man sila nakakatagal sa daan, nahagip ng mata niya ang isang pamilyar na sasakyan with a waving maniac on the window.

Half of Asher's body is almost out of the car.

Tumatawa si Athena nang binuksan ang bintana.

"Pare good morning!!!"

"Kuya sa'yo ata nagpapa pansin 'to"

"Isarado mo 'yang bintana bago pa ako mainis" Zeus grumbled, hindi man lang nito binuksan ang mga mata para tignan si Ash.

Athena poked her head out and smiled at Ash, "Good morning din Kuya, malaglag ka sana!"

Narinig pa niya ang sigaw nito na "Hoy Athena! Bastos kang bata ka!" bago ito hilahin ni Flame sa tenga pabalik sa loob para maupo muli.

    It's not that long of a drive but the others thought so dahil puro tulog ang mga ito. Nakasabay na rin nila sa daan ang sasakyan ng mga Heath, nakita niya sa bintana na magkadikit ang ulo ng kambal, tulog din.

Since their window isn't heavily tinted, she can see Enzo's sleeping face when the sunlight hits it. Napapangiti nalang siya.

   Observing is amusing. Athena gets to listen to stuff she doesn't intend to pero dahil sa nasa sasakyan sila napapakinggan niya. Like her parents' silly banter about cooking.
