“WELCOME! Helliana. I see you want to grab everyone's attention the moment you come back. Why are you late?” bungad sa akin ng guro pagka pasok na pagka pasok ko sa loob ng silid aralan.

“Pardon me, Instructor. I seem to have lost my way. One month of suspension. I was suspended, Instructor. While the one who caused the trouble got away with it, can you believe it? You can't right? Heh,” sarkastikong sagot ko pabalik sa kaniya at hinawakan ang aking ulo bago ibinaling ang tingin kay Justin na naka-upo hindi kalayuan sa akin.

“I know the story. Let's forget about it, take your seat. Let's continue the class,” sagot niya pabalik. Nabigo akong ipagpatuloy ang usapan, tsk. Hindi naman masaya kasama itong instructor na ito.

Umupo naman ako sa upuang malapit sa akin na siyang pinaka-likod upang sana ay matulog. Napaka boring ng klase na ito. Do we really have to learn all types of plants and animals, and create potions? Hays.

“What will you use if you saw someone got poison by a wild bee? Lady Helliana?” tanong niya. Bakit ako pa ang tinatanong ng lalaking ito? Matutulog na sana ako eh.

“How would I know? I'm not the teacher,” mahinang bulong ko sa hangin bago tumingin sa harapan.

“What did you just say?” tanong niya.

“Oh nothing Sir, I was just thinking out loud. An antidote for the venom of a wild bee huh? Then, that would be it's honey of course,” enthusiastic kuno na sagot ko.

Kumunot naman ang noo ng lahat, iniisip siguro ng mga ito na gawa-gawa ko lang ang sinabi ko.

“Hmmmm. How can you be so sure of that? If the wild bee is poisonous, shouldn't be it's honey as well?” muling tanong ng Instructor. Tumango-tango naman ang lahat, sumasang-ayon sa sinabi ng Instructor. Lalo na itong si Justin na may malaking ngisi sa labi.

“Well, technically that is true if the one that would sting you is a Dark Bee, which is the most poisonous of all of the bees that even by touching it, you would be poison in an instant,” sagot ko habang pinaglalaruan ang ballpen na nasa kamay ko.

“But the Wild Bees are different, they are poisonous, but only if you get stung. And since the honey came from their body as well, it will wash up the poison that is consuming you and will be replaced with energy,” patuloy na explenasyon ko. Hindi makapaniwala ang lahat sa kanilang narinig. Mabilis naman nilang kinuha ang kanilang mga libro upang hanapin ang aking mga sinabi para siguraduhin kung totoo nga ba ito.

Tumango-tango naman ang Instructor na nasa harapan habang mayroong ngiti sa labi, “Very good, Lady Helliana. I see you still did not lost your touch. Keep up the good work,” masayang lintaya niya bago nagpatuloy sa pagtalakay ng mga halaman at hayop na dapat naming malaman para sa paparating na exam niya.

I don't really wanna answer that, Instructor. But, I can't appear to be someone else in front of the teacher, they will start suspecting me. Especially this particular Instructor and one other, they are known to be so curious about everything.

Helliana is always good in academics and excels in class, the only flaw is have was that she is so nice and forgiving that people would take advantage of it. Human sucks. I'm a not a human, but a reincarnation of Satan himself, so technically I'm do not suck.

“We will be meeting these creatures tomorrow, so be ready and study them well tonight, or you'll end up getting hurt. Understood?” he asked.

“Yes, Instructor Raven!” everyone answered in unison. He nods at all of us and clean his desk.

“Class dismissed. Kindly go to your respective next class,” paalam niya sa amin bago nagteleport paalis.

‘Instructors can use magic, but we student can't? That's horrendous! Absurd at all!’

“Hey Helliana! Someone is looking for you,” a classmate called for my attention. I was still sitting on my chair, thinking what to do next to cause chaos that the teacher wouldn't think it's me.

“Who?” I asked. And as if on cue, Karolloi enters the room in glee.

“Hello, Angelliana!” he happily greeted me which I answered with a rolled eyes.

“What do you want?” I asked and start cleaning my desk to leave.

“Well, I was looking for you first thing in the morning to eat breakfast together, but you are nowhere to be seen. Let's eat lunch together shall we?” he begged.

“Sure! But can I gouge your eyes out?” I asked, smiling from ear to ear.

He stepped back wards and hid his eyes behind his hands, “I know my eyes looks like an emerald, but don't gouge them out! It's my most attractive feature,” he answered.

“You only have that because you have the same blood as mine that is running through your veins. Otherwise, you're just a cabbage. A rotten one,” sagot ko sakaniya habang nakangisi bago umalis at iniwan siya doon sa loob.

“Hey! That's mean! I am your most handsome cousin here!” sigaw niya.

I stopped at my track and slowly looked back at him. I gave him my most deadliest glare and slowly, walked towards him.

“Do you know the error of your words and action?” I asked. He gulped and nod.

“No, you don't. I told you, just yesterday, to act like we do not know each other. You did not heed my words and even shout for everyone to hear, that I am your cousin!? Do you want to die, Karolloi?” seryosong tanong ko. Mabilis naman itong umiling at dahan-dahang umaatras.

“Angelliana, we're cousins. Don't do whatever you are thinking, my mother will hear about this,” kinakabahang banta niya.

“Oh, so you're threatening me now huh?” nakangising sagot ko, sobra na talaga akong naainis.

Mabilis kong hinawakan ang kaniyang collar at walang pasabing binalibag ito sa lapag. Mabilis naman itong napadaing, ngunit hindi niya nilakasan.

“There is nothing to see here anymore, fellas. Unless you wanna get beaten up?” tanong ko sa mga estudyanteng hanggang ngayon ay hindi pa rin umaalis sa loob ng classroom.

Mabilis namang nagsi-alisan ang lahat ng marinig ang aking sinabi at iniwan kaming dalawa ni Karolloi sa loob ng silid aralan.

“What was that for, Angelliana? Everyone already knows we are cousins,” pa-iyak na daing niya habang hawak-hawak ang kaniyang balikat.

“The fact that you did not heed my words pissed me so much, Karolloi. Don't you know what happens to me when I'm pissed?” seryosong tanong ko sa kaniya ngunit hindi ito sumagot at nakatingin lang sa akin.

‘Hah! Did Helliana never get angry at anything at all!?’

“I guess you don't at all. Well, let me show you, shall I?” muling lintaya ko at gamit ang aking kapangyarihan ay isinarado ko ang lahat ng pintuan at bintana upang walang kahit na sino ang makakita sa amin.
