Zariah

DO THEY really have to wake us up early in the morning? Kaninang madaling araw ay nagising ako ng dahil sa alarm ni Sp-AI. Bad mood akong bumangon at nagtimpla ng gatas matapos yun. Nakakarindi yung ingay ng alarm niya. Kahit na gising na gising na ako ay hindi parin ito tumigil sa loop ng alarm niya. Walang snooze off.

As usual, dito na naman kami sa field. But strangely, it wasn't just us. There were children present too. And guess what. We were assigned with a group of juniors to take care of. I do not know why. Is it normal?

Later on, I heard that naging task ito ng bawat teams ng NSA first years. May ini-assign na mga bata at juniors na bantayan namin. I thought it was just us—may mga bata palang kasama sa Winter Break. Pakulo ba ito ng eskwelahan? Sa nakikita ko sa paligid, ilang teams lang naman ang may kasamang bata—at nasali kami sa teams na iyon na binigyan ng task na may bantayang juniors.

Thinking about it, ang maiiwan lamang dito ay mga Preceptors, Second Years, and Third Years. It's like they want us out of this place—or is it just me? I'm probably reading too much in this.

Kasalukuyan naming hinihintay yung naka-assign para sa amin. It says in our watches that they were wearing yellow head tags with the code number of 'X401'.

"X401.." I mumbled.

Then my eyes widened as I remembered something. It's our tag number back in Battle Royale. Plano ba nilang itapon kami sa rainforest ulit? Pero narinig kong pupunta kami ng Hawaii. Ano ba talaga NSA? My trust in their activities and trips is as low as the sea level. Feeling ko na kasi na may ipapagawa na naman sila sa amin. Tsk, if this is gonna be a different thing other than a normal vacation I would lose my trust on them immediately.

Sigh.

I must be getting paranoid. No, I must be getting tired. I need to sleep and regain my sanity.

"Ah! There they are!" biglang sigaw ni Vien at napatayo. Diretso tuloy ako sa lupa. Nakasandal kasi ako sa likuran niya kanina.

"Kids! Yellow! Here!" sigaw naman ni Rei. Siya ata yung pinakamalakas sumigaw sa kanilang dalawa.

Kung nagtataka kayo kung nasaan si Hanz, kasama niya ang mga NSASO officers. They must be preparing for this departure. I asked him about their meeting but he wouldn't say anything. Is his loyalty towards Draven now?

That damn King....stealing our Keen away from the team.

"Hey, Zariah. You good? Bakit parang may gusto kang patayin?" asked Vien, her attention went on me. Meanwhile, Rei was busy talking to the kids.

I want to kill that Draven King. I'm still annoyed after the game of Thrones.

"I'm...fine."

I noticed her staring at me.

"Okay! Ahahahaha! Hindi ka pa pala naka-move on?" tawa niya ulit. Hindi ko alam kung anong nakuha niyang impormasyon tungkol sa game. She noticed me acting weird a few days after so conduct did her own research and investigation.

Hindi ko alam kung paano siya naka-gather ng ganoong impormasyon. But this Feign is getting good with finding things out.
