Lumabas na kami ni Miss Veronica and she's now sitting on her swivel chair na hindi mapakali. Hindi pa rin ata s'ya maka get over sa pagkasabog ng crystal ball. Baka siguro mamahalin 'yon.
She stayed silent earlier up until now. I don't know what happened to her. Maybe she saw something that I didn't. I think she's still thinking what the butterfly meant with the word 'STORM'.
She stared at me for a minute kaya nagtaka ako. After a minute of her staring at me that made me uncomfortable she finally opened her mouth and called my name.
"Since we still didn't know what your abilities might be. Sa Adair muna kita ilalagay" she said with hesitant. What's wrong with her? para s'yang hindi mapakali.
Adair? I'll be at Adair house. The third house in this school.
Nanlumo ako sa narinig. Sa tingin ko ay hindi ko pa malalaman ano ang magiging ability ko. Atat pa naman sana ako malaman kung ano ang magiging ability ko.
"What do you think my supernatural powers would be? You said earlier that the crystal ball will tell us" I asked her while staring in her eyes.
"Sumabog ang bolang kristal kaya hindi ko alam. Maybe it's still not the perfect time for us to know ano ang magiging peculiar gift mo or supernatural powers. Soon your powers will soon to be awaken and malalaman din natin kaya don't worry" she said and sighed heavily.
She gave me a bag and I opened it. Inside it is a blue uniform, a pin with a snake logo on it and two keys.
"What are the keys for?" I asked her while looking at the two keys in my hand.
"The one key is for the dormitory and the other one is for the locker." hindi s'ya makatingin sa'kin. Do I look ugly now kaya ayaw n'ya ako tignan?
"You should go now" tumayo s'ya at hinatid ako sa pintuan.
"But I don't know where my dormitory is nor the locker. I just arrived here, remember? baka maligaw ako." I whined and pouted. Ang totoo n'yan natatakot lang talaga ako lalo na at everything here is still foreign to me.
Kaya walang nagawa si Miss Veronica kundi ihatid ako sa dorm ko. She stayed silent the whole time. She's acting weird ever since sa nangyari sa office kanina. It looks like may malalim s'yang iniisip.
We're heading to a big building with 5 floors. It looks so unreal. I can't explain how pretty it is. Nakita ko sa taas ng building ang logo na snake just like the pins on the student's chest na nilalagay.
I saw some students with blue uniform walking around like normal people. Lahat ng students na nakikita ko dito ay naka blue uniform, maybe these students are from Adair house.
When we walked passed them ay napapatingin sila sa'kin at napapansin kong nakatingin sila sa'kin na nakakunot ang noo. Para akong natutunaw sa mga titig nila.
They look at me in disbelief like i'm an alien na naligaw sa school nila. Their faces are full of confusion. Para silang nagtataka ba't ako nandito.
Ghad, what's wrong with these people? I know I'm pretty that's why they don't need to stare at me like that. hmp.
"Is she new here?"
"Obviously."
"I hope tumagal s'ya dito."
"I hope so too."
"Chiks pare oh."
"She's pretty."
"Oi bago. wetwews."
"Woah, a newbie?"
I heard the murmuring of some students. Nahiya tuloy ako bigla. Para silang mga marites. Mabenta din pala beauty ko dito.
I looked at Miss Veronica and she looks so serious. Lahat ng mga studyanteng nakakasalubong namin ay yumuyuko pag nakikita siya.
Wow, is she a queen here or something?
Nang makapasok na kami sa building nagulat ako nang makita ko na may elevator din dito.
This school is a high class. It really looks different from my former schools. Naka tiles ang floor pagkapasok mo pa lang sa entrance door then bubungad sa'yo ang elevator.
May tuition ba dito? yayamanin din itong school na 'to siguro malaki din ang bayad. Pano 'yan wala akong pera na dala at wala ding mga damit.
Napakamot nalang ako ng batok ko. Grabe naman ang araw na ito. I want to say this is the worst day ever, but on the other hand this is the best.
Miss Veronica and I entered the elevator. Pinindot n'ya ang number 5 which means we're heading to the fifth floor. Hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin s'ya nagsasalita which i find odd and uncomfortable. Nasanay ako kanina na palagi s'ya nagsasalita.
When the elevator's door opened lumabas kami doon and I saw few students walking around. Napatigil silang lahat nang makita kami and they again bow their heads when Miss Veronica passed by.
I realized, maybe she's an honored woman or a royal blooded? It's possible since I'm in a magical world now.
Ayaw talaga nilang tignan si Miss Veronica sa mga mata nakayuko lang silang lahat habang dumadaan kami.
Pakiramdam ko tuloy ay wala akong galang dahil para ko lang tropa na kausap si Miss Veronica kanina. Malay ko ba kung ano si Miss Veronica sa school na 'to lalo na at baguhan pa lamang ako. I'm an exception. Bahala sila.
Miss Veronica stopped in front of a door at may nakasulat doon na number 018. My room number.
"This will be your room. Your roommates already know that you're coming. Don't worry about your clothes, nandoon na ang lahat ng mga kailangan mo sa loob and also you'll be studying here for free. You don't need to pay for your tuitions. You have two roommates. All students here are nice so you don't have anything to worry about. I'll be going now. Goodluck and enjoy your stay here." she smiled and pats my shoulder at umalis na s'ya.
I guess this will be a good start. Ang saya ko ah nong marinig ko ang no tuition fee.
Kinakabahan ako nong umalis na si Miss Veronica. I still don't know how to interact with other students here. I'm hoping now na sana mabait ang magiging roommates ko.
I sighed heavily and knock on the door.
When the door opened I was shock on what I just saw.
