Azure: The Retired Assassin

Azure 6

I have been relaxed for the past two weeks. Sy was out of the country for some business matter, the principal announced it the other Monday. The last encounter we have was when I punched him a number of times which leave a cut on his lips. Thursday na ngayon at wala pa ring anino ng isang Brice Sy, which is suspicious since he's supposed to be away for only a week. Maybe he was scheming something evil against me because of what I did.

I saw Sav near the entrance waving her hand at me which I return with a smile. So far the students were all behave. Wala namang nambully sa akin or maging kay Savannah but regardless I am still not putting my guard down. "Good Moring Az" she greeted me cheerfully when I am only few feet away from her.

"Morning Sav. Let's go." What remains are those glares from the other students on us. Maybe hindi pa din sila nakarecover sa nangyari doon sa quadrangle.

"Ang bilis ng araw no, biruin mo yun one month kana pala dito sa Stonewall." I was not able to comment on Sav since some classmates of ours greeted us. Sa buong right wing I think yung mga classmate lang namin ni Sav ang hindi kami tinitingnan ng masama. If I could only choose I will not transfer to that special section if ever I would excel during rankings. Our current classmates now our way better than those spoiled brats.

It was recess when we heard a commotion in front of the administration building. Because of curiosity we decided to go and check what really is happening. Malayo pa lang kami ni Sav dinig na namin yung sigawan.

"Oh my God, paano na wala dito ang 5X."

"Di ba sila yung mga delinquent students from North High?"

"Where are the guards?" I heard one of the teachers. Everyone looks scared, may dala kasi silang mga baseball bat at tubo. Some students were lying on the ground with blood on their face. I clenched my fist. I never imagined something like this to happen in an elite school. Isa pa hindi ko magets how they manage to get in sa higpit ba naman ng security dito.

"Ilabas nyo na ang mayayabang na 5X. Or baka gusto nyung mas marami pang masaktan." He looks like he was their leader and I think they are more or less 20 in number. He was about to smack one of the student with his bat when we heard whistles. At last nandito na ang security guards ng school. I heaved a sigh of relief, ayuko din naming umeksina. Gusto ko nga kasing magpaka normal nalang except when the situation calls for it then mapipilitan talaga ako.

That feeling of relief was just very brief, we heard two consecutive gun shots. The students scream when the two guards lie flat on the ground.

Each level were provided by ten guards, how come dalawa lang ang pumunta dito? "Call the other guards. Call the police." The head teacher is hysterical when she said that. Nagkakagulo na din ang mga studyante. I hate this kind of violence; I kill yes but never the innocent ones.

"Walang kikilos kung ayaw nyong isunod ko kayo sa mga guards na yan." It was their leader again. He was the one holding the gun. I roam my eyes around and observe my surrounding. But then I caught one student is about to throw a rock on their leader which would only push him to his limit. He might shoot that poor kid. So before he could release it I showed myself in front.
