Oneirataxia

Chapter Two

I ALWAYS wanted to live in the fantasy I dreamt about, where magic and sorcery exist and where extraordinary things and creatures lives. And based on what I saw last night, I'm now sure that magic exists. I don't know how, but I'll believe it.

The thing is I saw Zey using magic too just like an expert. I can remember clearly what happened, and I'm still on shock. He just raised one of his hand and then, the guy who held me, was suddenly buried on the floor. I'm pretty sure he's dead right now.

Also that white haired guy, he used ice magic, but I'm kinda annoyed at him. Hinayaan n'ya muna akong masugatan bago n'ya ako niligtas. Damn him. Pagrand entrance ang loko.

Another weird thing is that I was able to understand the words they said. Wala akong idea kung paano ko nagawa iyon. I don't even know other languages except English and Tagalog.

Wala si Zey sa bahay pagkagising ko kaya nawalan ako ng chance para makapagtanong sa kanya tungkol sa nangyari. Nagising nalang din ako na nakabenda na ang mga sugat ko. Wala rin ang kotse kaya napilitan akong mag-commute nalang. Nang dumating ako sa school at agad kong hinanap si Zey pero hindi ko s'ya nakita.

Ikekwento ko sana kina Traze ang nangyari kagabi, pero hindi s'ya pumasok. Ang ipinagtataka ko lang ay sina Liezel at Lawrence ay hindi rin pumasok. Seryoso ang dalawang iyon sa pag-aaral at bihira lang umabsent, kaya medyo nagulat ako. Dapat yata ay hindi na rin ako pumasok.

Napansin ko rin na napapadalas ang pagsulyap sa akin ni Jade Aguirre. He's the supreme student council president pero hindi kami ganon ka-close sa isa't isa. I tried to run for the position of the SSC president before. Naging magkalaban kami, but he won, dahil siguro sa mga taong may ayaw sa akin.

I don't bully too much, but I am certainly a bully that's why he seem to kinda despise me. He's a responsible person, and I'm kinda lazy but I was able to beat him on academics. That's another reason why he doesn't like me. Oh well, I don't like him too.

I was just wondering why is he glancing at me this past few days. Is he spying on me or what?

"Get one half sheet of paper and we'll have a quiz." malakas na ani ng teacher namin sa Language. Mahina akong napamura nang marinig ang sinabi n'ya. I didn't listen on the discussion a while ago and I've got no idea on this quiz.

Nagsimula nang mag-dictate si Sir ng mga tanong kaya bumalik ang atensyon ko sa quiz. Medyo may alam ako pero hindi ako sigurado. Kung nakinig lang sana ako kanina. Siguradong babagsak ako nito.

Napansin ko na panay ang paglingon sa akin ni Jade. Nakakailang lalo na't katabi ko pa s'ya. Pasimple s'yang lumapit sa akin pero hindi ko s'ya pinansin.

"Are you alright?" mahina n'yang bulong. "All of your answers are wrong."

Inirapan ko lang s'ya tsaka nagfocus ulit sa papel ko. I heard him sighed and uttered something under his breath. My forehead crinkled, he's acting weird.

"Mali mga answer mo." tumingin s'ya sa akin atsaka tiningnan ulit ang papel ko.

Hindi ko narinig ang isang question kaya naiinis akong humarap sa kanya. "Ano bang pakielam ko kung mali 'yung mga sagot ko ha?!" mahina pero pasigaw na sabi ko sa kanya.

"Stop talking! You're having a quiz." pagbabawal sa amin ni Sir. Sinamaan ko ng tingin si Jade tsaka binalik ang tingin sa papel ko. Hindi tuloy ako makapag-concentrate. Tangina n'ya.

"The answer on the number eleven isn't letter a." he said again while looking on my paper.

I looked at him and game him a glare. "Can you please shut up? Nakakairita k-"

I was cutted off when a friend of Olivia raised a hand and shouted. "Sir! Nagkokopyahan po sina Aguirre at Cortez!" I grunted. Damn her, I'm going to kill this girl soon! Fuck.
