Chapter 14: Reality Hits

| Azami |

"A card?" nakakunot noo kong tanong kay Miles. We find ourselves in his basement once again, it seems like this will be our designated hideout from now on.

"What's with this card?" tanong din ni Karlynn and everyone started to get addled by it.

Pinakita niya sa'min ang isang kakaibang card. It's awfully thick that had weird arrows designed at the center. The red and black color designs had infused an air of mystery. It made me immediately think that it has some sort of black magic.

"You could get out with this." seryosong sabi niya.

"Oh my gosh," saad ni Blytha at kinuha ito sa hawak ni Miles. "So you all had one of these..." mahinang sabi pa nito habang sa mariing tinitingnan ang card.

"Alam ko ang pakiramdam, tila ba ay ang haplos ng kalayaan, yet reality hits. Maari ka pa ring magkaproblema kung hindi ka pa pinapayagan lumabas. Hindi tayo pwedeng lumabas nang walang kanyang pahintulot."

There was silence for a moment, at ni isa sa'min ay mukhang may malalim na iniisip. It was so peaceful until Miles broke it.

"Luckily... I got permitted." they blurted out of surprise.

"What?!" Jaslynn's eyes widened. Miles just chuckled a little bago umayos ng tayo.

"Yes guys, the barrier is widely open for me, I also found out that whenever you are holding it with me. Makakalabas din kayo." we all got silent again because of the disbelief and the thought that we could really be able to get out with that.

"Spectacular!" sabi bigla ni Leona at yinakap si Miles and the others did the same thing except for me and Karlynn.

"We'll do it by pair." pagtatapos niya pa and it made us smile.

"You never smile huh." sabi bigla ni Karlynn sa'kin. I pursed my lips at tinatanaw ang kasamahan na nagsisiyahan.

"So when are we going to make the actual plan?" Blytha asked and I faced them.

"Today."

NAGLALAKAD kami ngayon papunta sa Colosseum for the dance practices. Pagkapasok pa lamang ay naramdaman kong may humila sa'kin. Ngumiti si Sky at dinala ako sa gitna.

"Teka," hindi na ako nakapagreklamo dahil linagay niya na ang kamay ko sa kanyang balikat at hinawakan ang baywang ko. Bagama't tumugtog din kaagad ang musika.

"Sorry Amy, ayaw ko lang na mapagalitan. You're bit late." sabi niya pa kaya kumunot 'yung noo ko habang sa sumasayaw  kami.

"Di naman kailangan na ako talaga 'yung partner mo."

"I only wanted to dance with you," his dimples narrowed when he cheekily smiled.

"Bakit ba ako?" I stated at napahalakhak siya.

"Because, just because." he could only give me a wink. Dang, can't this guy consider how I might feel? We've only known each other for a short time, and he's literally a stranger.

Inikot na niya ako at napasa naman ako sa hindi ko kilalang lalaki, he shrugged like a child dahil naiba 'yung partner niya. I rolled my eyes at him, choosing to ignore his presence. I danced with another guy without exchanging a word.
