Eushia

Tapos na ang 3 hours namin sa pagbabantay ng library at ngayon ay pupunta kami sa office ni Jaxton dahil pinatawag niya kami. Kung para saan? Ewan ko, hindi ko alam. Baka may idadagdag pa siya sa punishment namin tss.

"Umupo muna kayo. Wait for me here, I'll just get the files." Wika ni Jaxton nang makarating na kami sa office niya. Duh, kahit naman hindi niya sabihin ay talagang uupo ako dito. Nilabas ko muna ang phone ko pati ang earphone at sinalpak ito sa tenga ko bago magpatugtog.

"No one knows 'bout the things that I've been through with you
There were times I drive you nearly mental
But when you're mad you're still beautiful
And I know that I'm punching way above
So lucky that we fell inlove
Sometimes I wonder am I enough?"

Naputol ang pakikinig ko sa kanta nang biglang hinugot ni Kyoushin ang kabilang earphone ko at nilagay ito sa tenga nya. U-uhm, I guess he's also bored. Tss, why is Jaxton so slow?

"I'm bored, pahiram muna." Paalam nito.

"Hello my love~
I've been searching for someone like you~
For most my life~
Happiness ain't a thing I'm used to~" He sang the chorus part lowly with his cold voice. I didn't know that he has a g-good voice. If he's gonna be a singer, then sisikat siya internationally.

"You could've fallen hard for anyone~
Plenty of fish in the sea~
Hey~ now~
For all of time all I know~
It's just my angel and me~" Sabay naming kanta nang mahina at narinig naman naming dalawa ang mahina ding palakpakan ng mga teammates namin. Sht, I almost forgot that they're here. I'm getting embarrassed. Hindi pa naman ako nakanta sa harap ng ibang tao, even infront of my family.

"Honestly speaking, bagay kayong dalaw—-" Binato ni Kyoushin ng unan si Autumn bago pa matapos ang sasabihin nito. Napalingon ako dito at nakita ang namumula at seryoso nitong mukha. I guess he's also embarrassed like me. Sino ba namang hindi mahihiya kung nakalimutan mong may ibang tao pala sa harap mo tapos kumanta ka pa, diba?

"Bagay kayong dalawa na magduet, I mean. Bakit, what were you thinking, Kyoushin?" Dugtong ni Autumn. Eh? I thought doon sa pagkanta siya nahihiya? Err, like I care.

"Sh-shut up." Bakit naman siya nauutal? Haist, bahala na nga siya. Like I care naman.

Minutes later ay dumating na sa wakas si Jaxton na may dala-dalang madaming files. Tumayo naman agad si Xandrei at tinulungan siya sa pagbubuhat ng tambak na folders.

"Okay, so you will be working on another case——"

"Yeeeessss!!!"

"Woooooh!!"

"Finally!!"

Sabay-sabay nilang sigaw kaya malakas at padabog na ibinagsak ni Jaxton ang ilan sa mga folders kaya tumahimik din sila. Ayan kasi, masyadong excited.

"Quiet!" Hindi ko mapigilan ang mapatawa because Jaxton is acting like a teacher that's telling his kindergarten students to stay silent. Hahahahaha!

"What's so funny, Snow?" Napatahimik ako bigla dahil tinawag niya na ako sa nickname ko. Isa lang ang ibig sabihin no'n, seryoso siya. You won't like to mess with Jaxton Kendrick Adler when he's serious, I swear. Because if you do, then may all the luck in the world be with you.

"Nothing." Sagot ko dito.

"Okay, so kaya ko kayo pinatawag is because you will solve another case. This one's different although there's a clue left. The problem is, no one knows what that means. Look at this." And then he showed us a small piece of paper.
