Nicole's Point of View.

Nanigas ako. Hindi ko alam ang sasabihin ko. Parang nakasuper glue 'yung pwet ko sa upuan.

"I said, get out." The same voice said. It was cold at nakapapanindig balahibo.

"Hayaan mo na siya, Heart!" Saway nung babaeng nakadutch braid at may glitters sa buhok. She smiled at me and I swear that she's so damn beautiful.

"Let's sit with her!" Yaya nung babaeng nakadutch braid. Walang nagawa 'yung babaeng Heart daw. 'Yung straight at mahaba ang buhok na may bangs. Lahat sila tinabihan ako. Katabi ko sa kaliwa 'yung nakadutch braid habang 'yung lalaking nakatabi ko sa ceremony kahapon ay ang sa kanan ko.

"Nicole Aveldera, right? You are Ms. Revena's niece?" The girl with the dutch braid asked. I nodded as my response. Nakakaramdam pa ako ng hiya. Sino ba namang hindi mahihiya kung tinabihan ka bigla ng isang sikat at magaling na squad sa school mo di'ba?

"Flame, order us something to eat." Utos nung lalaking katabi ko sa fairy niya. I wass just looking at him until he looked at me and raised his eyebrows. Umiwas agad ako ng tingin.

"I'm Sparkle!" The girl with the dutch braid said and she even offered me a handshake. Oh, my God! Naghandshake kami habang medyo nanginginig pa ang kamay ko.

"My name is Martin." The guy beside me said. The one with the red and yellow hair.

"I'm Heart."

"Ako si Derek!" Sabi nung lalaking nakaglasses na kamukha ni Martin. His hair is blue and white. He smiled and his voice was cute.

"Bruise." The guy beside Sparkle emotionlessly looked at me.

I suddenly felt uncomfortable. Katabi ko silang lahat. Katabi ko ang grupo ng mga estudyanteng pinakamagaling sa academy na ito. Hindi ako mapakali. Pinagpapawisan na ako na nanginginig pa ako. Pasmado na ang kamay ko at hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko.

"Nicole!" Tawag sa akin ni Rafa pero napatigil siya nung makita niyang ang Legion of Gods ang mga kasama ko.

"Kung kailangan mo kami, nandoon lang kami sa dulo nila Dawn at Elanie." He smiled. Oh, my God. That smile.

Dug, dug, dug, dug...

Tatayo na sana ako para sundan si Rafa pero pinigilan ako ni Martin. Hinawakan niya ang braso ko, "Sit." He ordered. Syempre, takot ako sa kanila 'no! Even if I'm the headmistress' niece, I should be nice pa rin!

"Eat with us." Two guys went to our table and brought us calamansi juice and a sandwich. Martin was staring at me and swear, I feel hot. Lalo akong pinagpawisan.

"Sorry, pinagtitripan lang kita." He smirked. Lahat na lang ba ng lalaki dito ay fafabol?!

Tumingin ako sa bandang dulo kung saan ang table nila Rafa, Dawn, at Elanie. I saw Rafa staring at me, I waved and smiled at him awkwardly but he did not respond.

"Sorry about that, Nicole. Martin's power is all about fire kasi." Said Sparkle. I just smiled. Hanggang ngayon, pinagtitinginan ako at pinagbubulungan. Fuck. Wala naman kasing nagsabi sa akin na dito sila umuupo!

Suddenly, I felt curious about their abilities and powers.

"Would you mind telling your abilities and powers?" I asked. They all looked at me at pinagpawisan nanaman ako.

"Sure! Mine is technology. Like illusions, etcetera, etcetera. Basta anything about technology while my power is anything about time. I can repeat, stop, and more." Sabi ni Sparkle. Tumingin ako kay Martin.
