That Nerd has a Secret (PUBLISHED UNDER PSICOM)

Chapter 49: Challenger

Before we went back to the academy, I asked Kiyan first kung pwede ba muna akong umuwi at bumisita sa amin. Because I know, this might be the last time that I'll see them.

Dahil nararamdaman kong malapit na.

Binigyan nya naman ako ng pahintulot at nagtanong pa nga kung sasamahan nya ako. Di na ako pumayag dahil baka ano na naman ang isipin ng pamilya ko.

I changed my clothes into loose shirt and pants saka nag rubber shoes. I used my power para pansamantalahing ibahin ang mukha ko at pumanget. Back to the nerd get up.

"Shea?" pumasok si Eloiny sa kwarto at naupo sa kama.

"Bakit ka na naman naka disguise? Ano bang meron at kailangan mo pang suotin yan?"

Inayos ko ang malaking salamin ko saka nagsalita, "I don't want to get more attention." sagot ko.

Tumawa naman sya, "Hahaha sabagay. Kinabog mo ang artista sa ganda mong yan. Ngunit yun lang ba?"

Di ako sumagot at inayos ang mga gamit ko na iuuwi sa bahay. Para konti nalang ang dadalhin ko pagbalik ng academy.

"Alam kong iniisip mo na naman ang mga tao sa paligid mo. Takot kang baka sinusundan ka ng kalaban at ang mga tao sa paligid mo ang bibiktimahin nila kapag di mo suot ang disguise mo. Tama ako no?"

Well, mukhang mas nag-iisip na sya ngayon.

"The enemy know your true face so they might attack you or the people around you. Ha! Ang talino ko talaga. Ang cool ko diba Shea?" tumawa na naman sya.

"Whatever. I'll go visit my family bago tayo umalis. Wait for me." sabi ko at sinarado na ang pinto ng kwarto ko.

Naabutan ko yung prinsesa na nanonood ng tv sa sala. Tinignan nya ako from head to foot saka inirapan. I was right. Mabait lang sya sa harap ng iba at pagdating sa 'kin lumalabas ang totoong ugali nya.

"Where are you going?" tanong nya bago ako lumabas ng unit.

"Dyan lang." sagot ko.

"That's not the proper way to talk to a princess. Remember that you're talking to a royalty. Learn some manners. House keeper ka ba dito?" she asked. Akala ko talaga mahinhin sya at mabait. She reminds me of someone though.

"You don't need to know." sabi ko at umalis.

Nauna nang lumabas si Paxton. Aayusin pa nila ng kapatid nya ang nasira sa unit at bibilhan pa ako ng chocolate cake. I'll go alone.

"Tss." she hissed.

Lumabas na ako at pumara ng taxi para makauwi. Truly this world is amazing. Humans are really intelligent that they created all of these. So as their creator and his disciple. Their strength, power and intelligence are unmatched that they are able to create this wonderful beings and make this world beautiful.

It's funny that it takes a long time to create such things and seconds to destroy it. And that is one of the biggest truth telling that this world is unfair.

Am I even part of their creation? Probably because I was human. Until I find out that may dad's a familiar from the Underworld. My life's completely messed up. At ngayon, hinihintay ko nalang ang pagtutuos namin ng opposite ko.

Any moment by now, kukunin na ako ng Goddess para ipaghanda sa laban namin. My power is telling me to prepare myself for a blood bath.

Kakalabanin ko na sya.

Am I ready to die?

Am I ready to leave everything behind? I can't imagine myself doing it but I have to. Until now, tinatanong ko parin ang sarili ko. Bakit ako? Bakit ako pa? Yeah for some reasons, this power is cool, strong, unmatched. But I don't want it.
