The Crown Sinners

4: Take Their Crown

4: Take Their Crown

Artemis Elizabeth Williams Morbelque's POV

Matapos 'yung nakita naming eksena na nakakapanindig balahibo. Umalis na 'yung mga tao na para bang tapos na 'yung sine na pinanuod nila. Hindi ako makapaniwala sa tagpong nangyari.

Even the girl who took down that muscular man walked out of the scene like it was the next thing to do. The guy who's unconscious was left there like it was nothing, like he was just a piece of wood in the forest.

"Aren't we gonna help that guy?" Tanong ni Thorn doon sa lalaking nakasalamin na kasama namin. Napatigil sa paglalakad 'yung lalaki sa tanong ni Thorn, nakaramdam agad ako ng padilim ng aura.

"Oo nga? Hahayaan n'yo na lang 'yun do'n?" Segundo naman ni Pierce. I also nodded to agree, but I never stated a word. The guy with glasses heaved a sigh, like he was so tired of us, because we don't know anything.

"The number one warning in this school is don't get fucking involve in any other business if it's not yours. You got that, newbies?" He eyed at us like we are some creatures —downgraded.

I gritted my teeth secretly. Napalingon ako kay Kuya Theon, kasi alam kong ramdam n'ya rin na minamaliit kami nitong lalaki. Napansin ko na kalmado lang siya pero nakayukom na ang kamao. Kuya's pissed.

"Mind to introduce yourself, Mr?" Ate Amythee broke the deafening silence that was keeping us stoned in the area. Buti na lang binasag ni Ate Amythee 'yung katahimikan kasi mukhang hindi kami makakaalis do'n kung magpapatuloy 'yun.

The guy smirked like we should have already known his name. Like he was so insulted we did not know him. Napakapit ko kay Honoka kasi mukhang naiinis na siya sa inaasta nitong lalaki, he's just so sarcastic—not his remarks but his gaze.

"Nabwibwisit na ako r'yan kay apat na mata ha." I heard Biblee murmured to her sister. Ate Amythee gave her a reassuring smile.

"Magtatanong ba kami kung alam namin?" Mahina at kalmadong imik ni Kuya Akira na para bang wala s'yang paki-alam at hindi niya nakukuha 'yung pagiging sarkastiko nitong lalaki.

The guy chuckled like he was just so amused at someone so naïve. Umiling-iling ito na tila hindi makapaniwala. "Kellon." Maikling saad niya pagkatapos ay naglakad nang muli kaya wala kaming nagawa kung hindi sundan ito.

"Sasabihin din pala dami pang dadak." Kuya Cleon whispered but we still heard it. Medyo nawala ang tensyon namin. He ushered us to the building. The guy named—Kellon even told us about the directions, and how we can activate our iPad and phones in this school.

Akala ko 'yung dala naming mobile phones ang magagamit namin pero pinigilan niya kami 'yun pala may provided silang gadgets sa amin na nasa bag na hindi namin mabuksan kanina. We need to use our IDs to open the bags.

Napaka-weird.

"When it's break time you can go to Food Alleys and Food Plazas. You don't need money, you just need your IDs." Kellon stated.

"By the way, here's your first room, I believe you are all in the same classes." Kellon said surely. We all checked our iPad to see if he's right... and guess, he really knew several things about us.

Pumasok na kami matapos noon at umalis na 'yung Kellon.

It was a glass sliding door and the room was centralized. Pagkapasok namin ay hindi mo aakalain na maingay ang buong klase dahil hindi naman maingay sa labas. Guess, it was soundproof.

When the people inside the class noticed us, they immediately stopped doing random things and bickering. They stared at us like we are—trespassers? Para kasing hindi kami belong sa kanila kung titigan nila kami.
