RIA'S P.O.V
I don't know what will happen to me now. All I know is I need to find a way for me to come back home. Butler Dae as he introduced his self to me said this is the day I will go to Mythos Academy. He was the one who took care of the things needed.
Sinandal ko ang ulo ko sa bintana ng kotse saka pinagmasdan ang kalsada. It was becoming more and more forested.
"Malapit na po tayo?"
"I suggest you take a rest for now, were still far" I sighed and decided to take a nap.
I woke up and its almost lunch time.
"Malapit na tayo."
Mayamaya pa ay nakarating kami sa tapat ng malahiganteng gate. I can't help but to feel exitement deep inside.
This is my hidden desire! I gulped as I stare outside. Di kalayuan ay tanaw ko ang tuktok ng naglalakihang imprastaktura.
Napanganga ako. Ang Gandaaaaa!
Hindi ko inakalang sa ibang mundo ko pa mararanasan ang makalabas at makapag aral kasama ng ibang kaedaran ko. Erebos is suffocating.
"Come after me, I'll usher you into your dorm."
Manghang Hila hila ko ang malaking maleta ay bumuntot ako kay Butler Dae. Wala pang istudyante sa labas dahil oras ng klase.
Butler Dae gave me a little tour bago niya ako ihatid sa dorm room ko. He said I would have two other roommates here.
"Always remember to hide your ability."
Tango na lang ang naisagot ko.
I decided to roam the place. Napadpad ako dito sa garden. This place is just so magical. Many flowers bloom here. I look at the sky, it's so beautiful...unlike Erebos.
Sure, Erebos is beautiful but the place is gloomy, something is missing. While Mythos is just too good to be true, I can feel the positivity in the atmosphere. Something you can never feel in Erebos.
I realize how unfair the world is. Why does Erebos and Mythos are so much different. From people to atmosphere.
It's like Erebos became the pit of darkness.
Kaluskos ng dahon ang nagpabalik sa ulirat ko, I saw a man wearing a black cloak almost covering his face.
"Sino ka?" bago pa man ito makasagot ay nakakabinging tunog ng buzzer ang umalingawngaw sa paligid, hudyat na oras na ng tanghalian.
Nang lingonin ko ang kausap ay wala na ito. I shrugged then decided to go to cafeteria. Butler Dae said, foods at cafeteria is covered by tuition fee which he already paid for me. He gave me a credit card for my own consumption too.
Suot ang floral dress na suot ko pa kaninang umaga ay tinungo ko ang cafeteria. I can feel some gazes, maybe because I'm a new face here.
Walang lingon lingon kong tinungo ang counter. I choose seafood for my lunch. Naupo ako sa sulok saka nilantakan ang pagkain ko.
"Eherm" Somebody cleared his throat beside me. Pagtingala ko ay isang lalaking may ngisi sa labi ang nakatingin sa'kin. I look behind him and saw another four guys wearing the same creepy smile.
" Hi, you new here? I'm Drew by the way, would you mind if we eat with you?" sunod sunod na sabi nito. Napatingin ako sa lamesa may lima pa ngang space doon. Hindi pa man ako nakasagot ay nagsi-upo na ang mga ito.
Pagtingin ko sa paligid, may mga matang palihim na sumulyap sulyap sa akin.
"She's dead."
"I pity the new girl"
"First day pa naman ata niya"
Nagunot ang noo ko sa narinig.
"Don't mind them." Sabi ng isa.
I feel uncomfortable at my situation right now. I'm not used to people around me.
I sighed then picked my food. I decided to go to another table. Yung pang isahan lang.
"San ka punta?" chinky guy asked.
"Dont worry, this is our table, no one's asking you to leave." nakangiting ani nito, but I sense something behind his smile.
"Hindi ayos lang lilipat ako." Akmang tatayo na ako ng hindi ko maigalaw ang katawan ko. It feels like I'm hard as a rock right now.
"Pfft" I look accusingly at the five guys who is holding their laughters. I glared at them at hindi na ata napigilan ay malakas na tumawa ang mga ito.
"A-anong nagyayari, Anong ginawa niyo?!" nangiggigil na ani ko sa lima.
"Ikaw kasi, sabi ko sayo ok lang ikaw sa table namen eh" mapaglarong wika ng lalaking may singkit na mata.
"By the way I'm Erro, this Curly head is Carl" tinuro nito ang kulot ngunit may maamong mukha, sumaludo pa ito sakin.  "this is Keddy" moreno, he looks manly "Cody" mestiso ito at may mapupulang labi. "And of course Andrew" among all of them he looks like he was about to do something not right.
Mapaglaro ang mukha nito na laging may nanunudyong ngiti.
I glared at him. Ngingiti ngiti nitong itinaas ang kamay. "Hindi ako yuuuun" he said it in a singsong na mas lalo kong ikinaasar.
"I swear if you dont stop this, you won't like it." and besides I'm hungry, hindi ko pa nakakalahati ang pagkain ko.
"Sige na nga, kawawa ka naman." Erro said saka ko naramdaman na nakakagalaw na ako. Pansin kong para syang bata kung umasta. Pinaningkitan ko sya ng mata.
"Ikaw may gawa nun?" Nananantya kong tanong. Tumawa ito ng malakas, he looks crazy to me.
"Syempre magaling ako eh" his voice loud na halos marinig sa buong cafeteria. Kumulo ang dugo ko sa naging tugon niya. Dagdagan mo pa ng tumawa rin ang apat na kasama.
I don't know what happen next but I found myself holding the tray and pound it in his head...real hard.
Napatigil ang mga estudyante at nanlalaking matang nakatingin sakin habang hawak ang tray sa kamay. I look at Erro and his playful aura shifted into deadly one. His eyes slithered at his gaze upon me become murderous. I gulped at the feeling.
"I... Hindi ko sinasadya.." Ayaw ko na ang gulo ngunit hindi ko mapigilan!
"What.. the..hell. Did you just whooped my head using the tray?"
"H-huh Sorry.." taranta kong sabi. He looks evil!
Ramdam kong nanigas nanaman ang katawan ko at kusa itong naglakad papalapit sa kanya.
Is this what will happen to me after everything that Feroh have taught me? No!
Pumikit na lang ako ng mariin. If only I could use my ability! He would be a soulless body now! I open my eyes and I was already standing infront of him. He's staring at my face seriously then he smirked.
"You know what, I think I like you." nagunot ang noo ko sa tinuran nito
Like? Like what Feroh had been telling me. For a man and woman? I wonder what is the feeling of liking someone.
"Ria Millicent" A stern voice from behind me maked my heart leaped.
"Let her go Erro." I saw Erro's faced hardened, he suddenly looked at me then sighed. As soon as I feel I could move, nilingon ko si Javar. Tiningnan niya ako ng matigas.
Nag init ang mukha ko nang maalala ang nangyari isang linggo na ang nakakalipas, nang madatnan niya akong nakatapis ng tuwalya sa kwarto. I accused him of planning on killing me when infact he just wanted to give me my schedules.
Naglalakad lang kami at sinusundan ko lang kung saan siya pupunta. Sabi niya kasi ay sundan ko lang siya.
Marami ang tumitingin at napapalingon sa kanya ng may admirasyon tapos ay dadako sa akin tapos sisimangot at naiinis ako doon.
I am literally short tempered, likas na sa akin iyon pero masasabi ko namang mabait ako. I'm doing my very best to be good. Hindi nila magugustuhan kapag ako ang nagalit.
Sumimangot ako ng lumingon sa akin ang prinsipe at masungit na tiningnan.
"Sa susunod, huwag mo ng papatulan ang mga iyon at iwasan mo sila." tumango ako at patuloy na pinakatitigan ang muka niya.
