7: Batten Down The Hatches

Solstice Snow Evans Yoon's POV

"Anoooo?!" Malakas na sigaw ni Cleon matapos ang sinabi ni Luna. Halos sabay kaming kumilos para lapitan si Luna nang mata sa mata. Nataranta si Luna at nabigla sa ginawa namin tapos ay awtomatikong napaatras sa kinatatayuan.

"Teka, teka..." Nag-aalinlangang pigil niya sa amin.

No, I just couldn't calm the heck down after hearing her say that this school is a dorm school. I've checked this school thousands of time before enrolling in, I wouldn't casually and stupidly agree to enroll in here if we could not go back home every freaking day.

"Baka naman jinojoke time mo kami, Luna? Hindi magandang biro ha?" Cleon told her hesitantly yet cheerful. Like him, I am still hoping that this is a big joke.

"Baka naman kayo ang nagbibiro na hindi kayo informed tungkol dito?" Balik tanong naman ni Luna. When Luna stated that line, I knew we were doomed. This is a serious, oh so serious matter!

This is simply life and death!

"Akala ko ba normal lang na school 'to at hindi dorm?" Nag-aalalang sambit ni Pierce.

"Ayon nga rin ang alam namin." Sagot ko naman habang nakayuko. I swear, checked it and confirmed everything before the applications were sent, nothing was posted about this dorm thing.

"We need to go back home no matter what." Madiing saad ni Ate. Nanlumo ako agad. Pakiramdam ko kasalanan namin 'to ni Cleon.

"Kahit late pa tayo makauwi sa bahay." Dagdag pa ni Theon. "We need to come back. We seriously need to." He emphasized every words and we all agreed. Kahit tumakas pa kami, babalik at babalik kami.

"Pero hindi nga pwede?" Luna interrupted our plan to escape secretly.

"Wala bang secret passage? Swear, Luna. Hindi biro itong hindi kami pwedeng umalis." Nababahalang salita ko sa kaniya. I held her hand and looked at her sincerely because this school is nothing when it comes to our parents wrath. Hell will freeze.

"The security in here's no joke, you know?" Luna retorted kind of puzzled to why we are so desperate to escape.

"Bago kayo makapasok dito dinaanan n'yo 'yung mga sundalo at ibang daanan pa hindi ba? Sa tingin n'yo mas madali makalabas?" She even added to make us understand how impossible it is to escape.

"Bakit? Ano bang meron kapag hindi kayo nakaalis? Hindi ba alam ng parents n'yo?" Sunod sunod na tanong ni Luna sa amin.

"No, hindi nila alam." Halos sabay sabay na wika namin. Luna was shocked to hear about it.

"Hindi nila alam na rito kayo papasok?" She asked again.

"Hindi." We answered in unison.

"Aba, ang tindi n'yo." Manghang reaksyon niya.

"Pano kayo nakalusot sa enroll at application kung walang alam magulang n'yo?" She questioned curiously.

"We have ways, Luna." Harper answered then sighed. She looked so distressed.

"Kung hindi talaga kaya ng takas, may ibang paraan ba para makaalis kami?" Nagmamakaawang tanong ko. I felt guilty. As if it was my responsibility to why we are facing this crisis.

"Ahm... hindi n'yo ba pwede kontakin parents n'yo?" Nag-aalinlangang tanong ni Luna.

"They don't know that we are enrolled here, so obviously, it's out of the option." Akira stated with finality.
