♕Princess♕

♕Ashanti's POV.♕

"There you are—wahhh!"

Bigla naman akong napatayo. "It's not what you think it is."

"Ay si Ate, defensive." Natatawang sabi ni Daenna.

Tumayo naman si Dylan. "I was just comforting her, okay? She's my friend now so I don't see any reason why I shouldn't comfort her." Nakapamulsang sabi niya.

Pero bakit parang nasaktan ako ng sinabi niyang magkaibigan lang kami? Parang may kirot akong naramdaman eh.

"Chill, brother. May I borrow Ate Ashanti for a while?" Tinaas niya pa ang kanyang dalawang kamay pagkasabi niya yan.

"And why would you borrow her? You already have your personal slave, why do you still need Ashanti?"

"Because, I have something to talk to her about." Tumingin siya ng seryoso sa akin bago tumingin kay Dylan. "Without you."

"Is that okay for you?" Tumingin naman ako kay Dylan ng nagsalita siya sa akin.

"Yeah, how can you not trust your sister though." Umiiling iling ko pang sabi.

"I just don't trust her." Kibit balikat niyang sabi at umupo na. I guess, I'm free to go, huh?

"Let's go Ate Ash?" Nakangiting sambit niya.

"Sige." At nagsimula na kaming mag lakad. Tumingin muna ako ulit kay Dylan bago tuluyang bumaba.

Hindi nagtagal ang aming paglalakbay, agad kaming pumasok sa isang silid. I guess this is her locker eh?

And yes, our locker is not just a locker. It's actually a small room na merong shelf at maliit na table, pang dalawang tao nga lang.

"What are we going to talk about? Is it about Dylan's birthday?" Tanong ko sa kanya ng maka-upo na kaming dalawa.

"Actually, no. It's more important than that." At sumeryoso ang kanyang mukha. What's more important than Dylan's birthday?

"A-Ano 'yon?" I have a bad feeling about this. Tumungo siya.

Please, sana hindi tama ang iniisip ko. Sana mali.

Tumingin siya sa akin ulit. "I know what you're hiding."

"W-What?" Kinakabahang tanong ko.

"Princess Ashanti Lainne." Natigilan ako sa sinabi niya. Parang umalis sa katawan ko ang kaluluwa ko.

Damn! Pag alam ni Daenna na isa akong Prinsesa then, hindi imposibleng malalaman din ni Dylan 'to.

"P-Paano? H-How did you k-know?" Nanlambot ang mga buto ko.

Gusto kong magwala! Huhu, bakit? Sana hindi niya sasabihin kahit sa kung sino.

"I did some investigation. Don't worry, Dylan doesn't know about this. And he's dumb so you don't have to worry." Parang nabunutan ako ng tinik sa sinabi niya. Sana siya lang ang nakaka-alam.
