『SKYLER』
“Xian,” Ice called, slowly pushing a strawberry cake in front of Xian. This is new. Is she really comforting him? Xian squinted his eyes and watched Ice drool over the cake she was giving him.
“Thanks, Ice. But you can have it.”
“Really?”
“Yes,” Xian assured. Napangiwi na lamang si Xian nang kuhanin agad iyon ni Ice saka bumulong, “Pakiramdam ko ikamamatay ko lalo kung kinain ko ‘yon.”
Matapos ang swimming competition, highlighting the embarrassing moment of Xian, the competition was suddenly halted because it was already lunchtime. The cafeteria was crowded and rowdy, and thankfully, we managed to have our own table thanks to Sue’s dark eyes. Hindi pa rin siya nakaka-move on sa ginawa ni Phoenix.
“Grabe, points lang ni Light ang bigay sa atin ng two digits.” Dinig kong sambit ni Phoenix habang inaabot kay Ice ang syrup.
“Celine, you must panalo the next event ha.” Serena grinned, an evil one, to be exact.
Stop dance will be the last competition for this day, and the fate of our score lies in the outcome of the last competition today. In layman’s terms, Celine must-win for Aizen to fully secure his drachmas.
“Should I?”
“Yes! You have to galingan!”
“Okay.” Celine smiled sweetly, stealing Ice’s attention away from her cake and ice cream. She grimaced while looking at her cousin and whispered something.
“Anong contest bukas?” Sue asked.
“In the morning, the Dim Forest will be the first one, followed by the Pegasus Race, and last will be the Three-Legged Racde—win it ha,” Aizelle mumbled, giving Ice another bottle of syrup for her to pour.
Another?!
“Ice… are you trying to murder your teeth?” Light asked. Tumigil saglit si Ice saka tumungo upang tingnan si Light nang masama dahilan upang mapatigil kaming lahat sa pagkain namin.
Nagpalitan kami ni Riley ng tingin saka pinagkunutan ng noo si Light na para bang sinasabi namin na—Are you really asking her that? Seriously?
“I—Ice look! Tada!” Aizelle suddenly pushed Light away from Ice’s sight, sitting next to him as she blocked his façade while offering another three syrups to Ice.
We all looked dumbfounded at her. She still doesn’t realized what she have done. Maging si Ice ay napatitig sa kanya, halata naman naming lahat na umiiwas si Aizelle kay Light kaya madalas ay sa malayo siya umuupo pero ngayon kusa siyang tumabi kay Light para lamang mapigilan si Ice?
“Aizelle… what’s wrong with your neck and face?” Ice asked, confusedly.
Nagtatakha siyang tiningnan ni Aizelle sabay hawak sa leeg niya’t naglabas ng salamin. Naiilang siyang ngumiti kay Ice saka nagsalita, “Wala namang dumi ah?”
“Ah… I must be imagining things. Sorry.”
Bigla na lamang nagbago ang mood sa lamesa namin, ilang saglit pa’y pabigla na tumayo si Aizelle at nanlalaki ang mga matang lumingon kay Light.
“Holy Styx!”
“Just sit down, Aizelle,” Riley said. “Wala ka na rin namang uupuan—”
“Nasaan ‘yong upuan ko kanina?”
“Inabot ko sa kabilang table.” Pagngisi ni Celine. Walang nagawa si Aizelle kaya’t talunan siyang bumalik sa tabi ni Light.
Kapansin-pansin din ang maya’t-mayang pagnanakaw ni Ice ng tingin kay Aizelle habang kumakain ito. Samantalang si Aizelle ay ginagawa ang buong makakaya h’wag lang silang magkatidikit ni Light. This group is really driving me nuts. Wala na bang ititino pa ang mga ‘to? At may nakakahawa bang sakit si Light?
