Mr. Mystic

Chapter 4

Fire to its water

"Abby! Sabay ka na sa'min!" Tawag sa akin ni Andrea. Nasa parking lot na kami ngayo at papauwi na.

"Hindi ako makaksabay sa inyo ngayon dahil may gagawin pa kaming group project. Remember yung grouping kanina, Andrea?" Tanong ko kay Andrea na kaharap ko ngayon. Katabi ko naman si Ethan.

"Ay oo nga! If I am right, ka-grupo mo si Trisha diba?" Tanong niya.

Tumango ako "At si Damien at Stephanie" I did not bother mention his name. Hindi na nila kailangang malaman.

"Wait kulang pa, it should be 5... Hmmm..." She raised her brows and keep on snapping trying to remember kung sino ang hindi niya na-mention. That's not important at all.

"Hindi na iyon impor---" She cut me off.

"Ah! Si Mr. Owner!" She shouted then smiled in victory.

Kumunot naman ang noo ko.

"Owner? You mean Vaughn Salvador?" Tanong ni Chloe sa akin. Tumango lang ako.

"Siya ang may-ari nitong paaralan?" I asked. No one told me that.

"Yes and no. Yes dahil family niya ang may-ari and no dahil dahil ang kanyang dad ang may-ari hindi siya. Tagapagmana, that's the right term" sagot ni Chloe sa tanong ko.

Why on earth walang nagsabi sa akin? I just talked to the owner's son? It's just unusual for me dahil I tried avoiding owner's families. Well noon, I got a friend-- or let me rephrase it, bestfriend na apo ng may-ari ng school. But anyways, that was a long time ago. I was just elementary that time.

"But anyway, at dahil ka-grupo mo si Vaughn doon kayo mago-grouping that's why hibdi ka makakasabay sa amin?" Tanong ni Ethan and faced me. Tumango lamang ako.

"Una na kayo guys, magta-taxi na lang ako" Sabi ko sa kanila.

"No ihatid na kita. Wala namang maraming ipinagawa," sabi ni Ethan.

I was about to say something ng nagsalita siya.

"No buts, Abbigail De la Vega"

"Yes, sir"

Inakbayan niya ako and lead me the way to his car. When we passed the others, he just horned and went off the parking lot.

"It's been so long the last time na magkasama tayo na tayong dalawa lamang" He started while driving seriously.

"Bakit bang hindi, eh palagi kang busy. Noon naman bago tayo pumunta sa Cebu, nasa ibang bansa ka naman po. Nagfe-feeling amerikano kasi" I joyfully said. He chuckled to what I said.

"You know us. Kung magbabakasyon sa ibang bansa talaga. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit gustong sa ibang bansa magbakasyon" sabi niya. We passed by Mcdonalds kaya nagdrive-thru kami.

"Anong gusto mo? The usual?" Tanong niya sa akin. Tumango lang ako.

"2 orders of large fries and a cheeseburger... And 2 drinks" sabi niya sa nagkuha ng order.

"Alam mo talaga kung ano ang gusto ko"

"Psh. Kung gusto mo ng fries doon na lang sana tayo pumunta sa Potato House"

"Endorser ka na pala ngayon? Sabihin mo na lang na gusto mong doon tayo pumunta para lalaki ang kita niyo" They owned a store which is Potato House. They sell foods that are connected to potatoes just like french fries, potato swirls etc. Pero may meals din sila and swear, the way their foods placed in the plates, pang IG feed goals. A lot of people go there.
