Chapter 2
Pagdating namin sa dorm bumungad ang recieving room, television set, shoe racks, paintings, plants na maliliit na display, kahit saang sulok may halaman kang makikita, at dalawang pintuan. One to the Kitchen and another one for the rooms. The room is surprisingly huge. Honestly, the place doesnt look like a dormitory, it's huge.. maybe enough to call it suite.
The room color is gray which is very much likely my room in Las Vegas. There's four bed, all in kingsize. At the side of the bed, there's a bedside cabinet with a lamp, then a big cabinet and book shelves. The vibe on the dormitory is very calm.
I begin to unpack my things. Una kong kinuha ang picture frame at nilagay sa may bedside table ko. Then the other things are all kept on the cabinet. There's no safety measures on the gate of the University. Walang kapkapan na tinatawag. There's nothing prohibited on the University. Kaya naman hanggang ngayon nasa akin parin ang mga armas na sana ay gagamitin ko sa pagtakas. The guns and other things. Hinayaan ko nalang. Dadalhin ko nalang araw-araw ang iba sa kanila para hindi ko masyadong magamit ang ability ko. Kailangan kong mag-ingat. I decided to get on the bed for awhile.
The next thing I know, nakatulog na pala ako.
Nagising ako nang makaramdam ako ng isang presensya. "A-ah, kain na." Nagulat ko ata si Ro dahil saktong iaangat niya ang kamay niya, marahil para gisingin ako, ay saktong pagbukas ng mata ko. I'm still starting to get along with their presence. Nasanay lang ako sa presensya ni Arthur at Alkhaine. Sinasanay ko palamang ang sarili ko.
Sumunod ako papuntang kitchen. To my surprise, hindi lang pala kami ang kakain ngayon.
My brothers are there, Ro and Gaile, and them. Nasa gitna si Arthur, his left side is that girl Magnolia, Claus, Gail, then the middle of the other side is Alkhaine, Cain, Me, then right side of Arthur and my left side is Ro.
Magnolia|Claus|Gail
Arthur Alkhaine
Rosella|Amara|Cain
I pretended not to care about the ambiance but then hell no. Now that I realized, Cain is that guy. The guy on the plane. Then what if he is, Amara? It's not like you did something wrong. That stranger who thought you're a normal i-am-no-heroine-and-i-don't-aspire-to-be-one girl on plane. Yeah right. So what?
"Amara." Napatingin ako kay Arthur nang nagsalita ako. "You're spacing out." I almost jumped in surprise. Get on your senses Amara! I closed my eyes tightly for a second and smiled.
"I apologize. Are you saying something?" Formal kong sagot. I really don't like it kapag masyadong ma-awtoridad ang tono ni Arthur.
"I'm asking if it's okay here. If you have any problem just tell me so I could talk to Mrs. Huffbin." Arthur said.
"I'm perfectly fine here." I answered and ate. Not minding the eyes piercing through me.
I want to ask Arthur or Alkhaine about the protection thing.. hindi kasama ang family whatsoever na sinabi ni Ro and Gail but I decided not to, saka nalang.
Tapos na ang lahat kumain pero walang nagtangkang tumayo. What's with the ambiance? Really. It's almost suffocating. Ganito ba talaga sila pag kumakain? O ngayon lang?
Akmang tatayo ako nang magsalita si Magnolia. "Arthur, why don't you introduce your sister?" Nakangiti ito. I did not bother to look at her while saying that. Inayos ko ang pagka-upo ko. Tumikhim muna si Arthur. Nanatiling tahimik ang iba. I'm surprised he's the one talking. Sinulyapan ko si Alkhaine na nakangiti lang sakin.
