The Greatest Wizardess

Chapter 5-Sid Damien

Lunch break...

Bakit kaya palaging nagliliwanag ang emblem ko every time na nakikita ko or napapalapit ako dun sa nakakatakot na lalaking iyon? (You knew who I meant right?) But I wonder kung bakit sa kanya lang...

Habang naglalakad ako papunta sa pinag-usapan naming tagpuan ni Luna... hindi ako mapalagay lalo na at bawat madaanan ko'y nakasunod sakin ang mga mata. Hindi ko alam kung imagination ko lang ba iyon o ano pero iba talaga ang pakiramdam ko.

"Sigurado kang siya iyon?"

"She's the new student right??"

"He never had a zanga again after Denice, but the moment she entered this school..."

"What kind of person is that new student??"

"We had to be careful around her."

Jeezzz... gusto ko ng makalayo dito at pumunta sa lugar na walang katao- tao, ganito ba talaga kahaba ang hallway na 'to?

"ZIAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" when I heard that familiar voice tila nawala lahat ng tension na nararamdaman ko kanina.

"LLLuuunnnnnaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!" kumaway ako sa kanya saka ngumiti. Hindi na pala namin kailangan pang magkita sa tagpuan dahil dito pa lang ay nagkasabay na kami.

"What? She even knew Luna?"

"What a lucky girl."

"And it looks like they're already good buddies."

"They're roommies."

"But I heard she's from Preea."

"That trashy town? Eeeewwww."

"Let's go??" nakangiting sabi ni Luna the moment na nagkasama kami.

"Ah—ah y-e-yeah."

"Don't mind them." Bulong niya. She clung to me saka ko hinila paalis sa mga tao. Hinihingal kaming pareho ng huminto sa dapat ay tagpuan namin. Sa ilalim ng puno kung saan may lamesa at upuan, napaliligiran ng bermuda grass ang floor at mga puno kami naroroon. "So..."

"Huh?"

"There's something you had to tell me."

Tinignan ko siya ng may halong pagtataka, "Tulad ng???"

"Ikaw ang usap-usapan ng lahat did you know that?" sabi niya habang nakacrossed arms at nakatayo sa harapan ko.

"Ah... eh... yeah," saka ko tumango, at hindi maganda ang pakiramdam ko doon, "..dahil ba isa kong new student at galing ng Preea.. at nandito ko dahil lang sa recommendation?"

"No, hindi lang iyon.."

"Huh? May iba pa?"

"Jeez. The fact that you're his zanga is what making you famous in this school."

"Zanga???" kanina ko pa naririnig ang salitang iyon pero wala naman akong idea kung ano iyon.

"Yeah. And it's just your second day here in school and yet you already found a zanga. Of all people ay bakit siya pa. You don't have any idea what kind of person he is." Naupo siya sa upuan saka nagpout, and I found it cute. "It took me six months to find mine you know? So you're really amazing. Congratulations Zia! I'm so proud of you as your friend though I'm also worried."
