chapter eight ;; twitter and summons

I heard Zack. Oh frick, I'll shug it off for today. Linabas ko ang cellphone ko and took a look at twitter. May nakita akong specific Twitter account habang stinastalk ko mga kaibigan ko. MysticalCanons. They create jokes and headcanons tungkol sa royalties and higher ups.

Eto 'yung isang nakita ko.

May ka-ship si Atlas? Damn, shocker. Kanina lang 'yung post, wow. Nung unaga. And I scrolled up at nakita ko pagmumukha ko. Frick.

"All welcome, new princess Angelee Blanc! @geleeace_"

nakakahiya makita sarili ko, my god. the comments were like, "kanino siya ishiship? sino bagay sakaniya? ano kaya personality niya?" I mean, most comments at least. I commented, "Thank you po." well, duh. nakakahiya naman kasi e.

an hour passed and I decided to roam around the school halls, tas diretso na sa combat practice. Binalik ko lahat ng libro na hiniram ko and linagay ko sa bag ko yung notebook. I'll figure that mystery out myself.

I walked in the elevator and went to the ground floor, kung nasaan 'yung ibang students. Crowded padin, and ayoko na napatingnan ako. I put on my earphones and listened to What is Love? by Twice.

Habang naglalakad, I really felt jumpy and cutesy. I don't care kung nakatingin sila—but songs make me feel like I'm in a movie. Lalo na 'to, it makes me feel like nasa romcom or romance movie ako. I make my way sa gitna ng school. I see my friends and sila Phantom na may kasamang iba pa na mukhang hindi princes.

Papalapit na sana ako sa Loquacious Atti kaso a camera stopped by me. "Hi Princess Angelee! Can we have a small interview?" a camera boy asked. a crew of cameramen and reporter-looking students came by. I smiled, "Sure, ano mga tanong niyo?" I said as I take off my earphones and stop the music.

"What's your talent po?" a freshman reporter asked me. Mukhang media club ito ah. "I can sing, I think?" I said between giggles. "Tas kaya ko sumayaw ng decente. So far, 'yun lang."

"Can you show us your talents po?" tinanong nila. Since nasa mood ako, sasayaw ako ng What is Love.

"I wanna know satangcheoreom dalkomhadaneunde
I wanna know haneureul naneun geot gatdaneunde
I wanna know know know know
What is love?
Sarangi eotteon neukkiminji
I wanna know haru jongil utgo issdaneunde
I wanna know sesangi da areumdabdaneunde
I wanna know know know know
What is love?
Eonjengan naegedo sarangi olkka!" I sang, tas sa dulo nag-pana ako sa camera and said, "Puchu!" alam niyo 'yung pacute? ganon.

"Waaah, cutee!" sabi ng ibang babaeng crew members. Jusmeyo marimar, ano ba 'to? "Last question po, how would you describe yourself po?"

"I don't know?" I said, laughing. Ang weird lang kasi e. Ganto ba palagi? Buti goodmood ako para maganda image ko, alanganamang makikilala ako dito as the Palamurang Prinsesa, 'diba? ayoko naman ng ganon.

"Salamat po!" they said to me. I bid them farewell as pinuntahan ko na tropa ko. "What's up, coconut?" I asked them, mukhang naiinis sila e. Skyrie grabbed my wrists and said, "Tara na nga! Naiinis ako dito!" The other two followed and I ended up getting dragged. Balik nanaman ako sa elevator, my god.

I asked, "Lah? 'No meron? lahat kayo galit. Toyo kayo ghorl?" Flora groaned, Aria sighed out of anger and Skyrie puffed out some angry clouds. Weather magic 'yan? Lit. "So ganto kasi nangyari. Si Atsatsuki kasi linalandi nanaman si Atlas! And naiinis kami kay Atsatsuki kasi nagpapabida lang siya! She wants the public's approval of her." Aria hissed.

"Oh? tapos? people seemed to ship them naman ah. they look great as well." I said to them. They all facepalmed and groaned. "Hindi mo kasi nakikita. Once na nagkajowa ka ng royalty, aangat ka na. You'll be a royalty na. A commoner marrying an elite, will make you an elite. An elite marrying a guardian elite, will make them guardian elites. A guardian elite marrying a royalty, will make them a royalty!" Flora shouted. Skyrie continued, "But you see, kasama namin si Atsatsuki sa squad namin, until kwinento niya samin plano niya. She plans on making Atlas fall for her and when they become a thing—papatayin ni Atsatsuki si Atlas to gain full control! Ugh."

My jaw literally dropped. Nag-open 'yung elavator and it showed Mea's floor. "Ngi? 'Diba floor 'to ni Ma'am Mea?" I asked, dumbfounded.

Skyrie proceeded to drag me and everyone went to a direction. May nakita akong maliit na janitor's closet and they seem to be going there. "Hey George, give new access to Angelee Blanc." Skyrie said to the monitor and Flora said, "Go, retina scan mo na eyes mo."

Odd. But nonetheless I did it. "Access given." the robot said. Nabuksan ang pintuan and it showed a slide.. Seriously? They pushed me in and they followed afterwards. Natatawa kami during this for some reason. We fall in this cool looking bunker full of cameras and gadgets. may isa pang room though. "Welcome sa hideout! Mas love kami ni Mea sis kaya ginawan niya kami nito!" Aria shouted. "The other door is a swimming pool with jakuzi and other fun things. Eto underground ng mismong school." she continued.

"These monitors give us access sa cameras ng school. We stalk people we suspect through here." Flora explained.

I looked at the time and shxt, thirty minutes nalang may klase na ako. "Hoy, lalakad muna ako sa campus. in thirty minutes class ko na e. Gusto ko lumibot." I said to them, "Go! Pinapalaya na kita!" Skyrie said, overreactingly and faketeared. Naki-ride ako and I playfully slapped her, "There was never an us!" I said, acting like Zanjo Marudo. or John Loyd ba 'yun? Tama ba? HAHA.

"Alis ka na! Ayun 'yung labasan!" Skyrie playfully said with fake cries. Tinuro niya 'yung labasan and natawa kaming lahat. I said bye and pumasok na sa exit. Parang tube siya. And with a swoop natransport ako sa roof-top. May nakita akong isang lalaki. Trying to complete a spell, perhaps?

"Uh hi?" I said. He jumped out of suprise and he replied with a hello. "Ano 'yan?" I went closer to him and took a look sa thing na nasa kamay niya. A picture? Picture ng aso? Cute. "I'm trying to summon my dog galing sa dorm." he replied with a smile.

"What's your name?" I said while sitting in the pillow thing he has. "Akin dapat 'yan but okay—" he cutted himself off and continued with, "Aibriel. My name is Aibriel Velasquez. Guardian elite. Kakilala na kita, siyempre. Rinig na rinig pangalan mo dito since last week."

Natawa ako, "Bigla nga akong naging big deal, e. Kagulat."

we talked for a while and I had fun talking to this guy. He reminds me of Geishu, or Graham. I sure miss him. we spent the whole time talking about magic and sorts.

He's a summoner, he can summon anyone as long as they give him a card. I gave him my card, baka mamaya kailanganin niya e.

"Hey Angelee. Kung gusto mo matuto ng summoning, tawagan mo ako." he said.

..i thought you can only have one power?

AUTHOR'S NOTE!

hey, it's me. i've been thinking about this for an hour and a half and I really want to make this story long. Alike to my old version 》MYSTIC ACADEMY: SCHOOL FOR MAGIC MAGES《 I'm deciding to have fun and not focus on the plot. But this time, i wont be astray and mawawala sa track. Before, I really have these small inserts of my life and that made my nine year old self smile. everything's fun now, just not funny kasi i lost my sense of humor :>
