"Hey, are you still mad at RB?" bulong sa 'kin ni Jack habang nasa Spells class kami.
"Ano sa palagay mo?" sagot ko naman.
"Eh kilala mo naman 'yung tao 'di ba? Ganoon lang talaga ka-weirdo si RB. Tsaka hindi naman niya tinuloy 'yung... binalak niyang gawin," sagot ni Jack.
"Pero pinagmukha pa rin niya akong tanga. That's it. Oo, hindi niya nga tinuloy 'yung kalokohan niya. Pero ilagay mo kaya ang sarili mo sa sitwasyon ko? Ano kaya ang mararamdaman mo? Kilala ko si RB kaya ganun ako mag-react," I said.
"I know. Calm down. Pero sana naman 'wag mo nang palalimin pa 'yang gulo ninyo. Tayo na nga lang ang kasa-kasama ni RB eh. Maawa ka naman doon sa tao," sagot ni Jack.
"Did you also drink the Obedience Potion? Ba't parang kamping-kampi ka kay RB?" tanong ko.
"I just don't want to see the two of you in bad terms with each other. Gusto ko chill lang tayong lahat," sabi niya.
I rolled my eyes. "Pinaninindigan mo talaga ang pagiging Ice Weirdo mo 'no?" tanong ko.
"Nope. Ganito lang talaga ang outlook ko sa buhay. Life is too short, Ike. You should make friends, not enemies," Jack said.
"Less talk, more work," biglang sabi ni Professor Ozzelus sa likod namin.
"Y-Yes, Professor," sagot ko naman agad.
I flicked my hand sideways to conjure a shield charm. The resulting barrier was so strong that Jack was thrown backwards.
"Shield Charms, Lunaria. Not force fields," sabi ni Professor Ozzelus sabay pitik sa tenga ko.
"Sorry po," sagot ko.
We changed into our PE uniforms right after our class with Professor Ozzelus. Naabutan namin si Professor Sivera na nakaabang na naman sa grounds kung saan kami madalas na mag-meet.
"Sit on the ground, guys," utos niya sa 'min.
Naupo naman kami sa damuhan.
"I'm really sorry if I wasn't able to meet you last Monday. Sir Garrick and I were requested to join an operation against a villain group. Anyway, I have here the results of your last activity. Have a look," sabi niya.
He pointed his fingers to a stack of paper on the ground. They flew towards us, one for each student.
"Nakalagay na diyan ang points ninyo sa bawat task na pinagawa ko. You also have there your total points and ranking. Because there is a total of 20 students in your class, the person who ranked number 1 in each task got 20 points. The lowest-ranked student got 1 point. Take a look," sabi niya.
I looked at my paper.

I sighed.
"Cool! I ranked 4th!" tuwang-tuwa na sabi ni Jack sa tabi ko.
"Buti ka pa," wala sa buhay kong sabi.
"Why? Pang-ilan ka ba?" tanong ni Jack.
"Sa palagay mo, pang-ilan ako?" tanong ko naman.
"Okay lang 'yan. Bawi ka na lang next time. Tsaka simula pa lang naman 'to. There's still a lot of time for you to catch up," sabi niya.
