43 | Little Celebration

As the Familiar Calling started. Karamihan sa Freshmen ay nagsialisan na sa tingin ko'y maghahanda para rito. May mga natira pa ring tao lalo na sa ibang eskwelahan na mauunang tawagin habang kami na sa bandang huli pa ay nagsilabasan na.

As usual, Shinoa is telling a story nonstop, while Phoebe is silently listening to her. Si Mika ay binabasa ang librong dala ko kanina at ngayon ay hindi na muling mabitawan. One thing that made us click is our taste from books.

I felt a pain on my side, which made me gasped yet what surprised me is when I didn't felt her presence!

“I'm sorry. . .” Her voice is soothing, yet she's showing a pain expression while holding her head. I instantly panicked.

“Are you okay?” I was hesitant to hold her, especially when my eyes lowered down to her uniform, a blue one, that reminds me of Silverleaf Academia.

“Xiel, what's happening?” Boses ni Mika at naramdaman kong natigilan rin ang mga ito.

The woman lifted her head, which my eyes caught her raven ones staring at me. I was taken aback by what I'm seeing until she closed her eyes and gave me a warm smile even though she looks hurting.

“It's okay, it's just a migraine. I'll be going.” She said politely, lowering her head gently before she walked as if in haste, still holding her head as if it hurts her too much, that now, all I could see is her peculiar bluish-silver hair having the same rhythm as she moves.

“That woman's hair is unique. . .” Dexie whispered, that I couldn't agree more.

“Those strands seem glowing,” ani Mika, ang may pinakamatalas na mata sa amin.

“I wonder where parlor she attended to have that kind of hair? I would want to go there!” Muling boses ni Shinoa na sinagot ni Mika.

“I know right.”

Ngunit ang aking tingin ay nanatili sa dinaanan nito.

She has the most innocent and calm face I've ever seen, but her eyes look melancholy, as they hold the most pain she's hiding.

“Yuri! Dexie! Nandito lang pala kayo!”

Sabay-sabay na nagawi ang aming tingin sa tumawag nang bumungad sila Kierra na palapit sa amin. Malalaki ang ngiti at kumakaway, habang nakasunod sa kanila ang maliit— kasing-laki ng palad na kanilang mga familiars, umiilaw at talagang kapansin-pansin ang ka-cute-an.

Bumaling ang tingin ni Aphrodite sa amin. “Shinoa, gusto nyong sumama?”

“We're going to celebrate our victory at the house of the top three!” Masiglang sabi ni Kierra na nagpagulat sa amin. Sa bahay nila?

Nagkatinginan kaming apat. Shinoa looks excited and just by it, I already know what's our answer will be. Mabilis akong napatingin sa ibaba nang naramdaman ko ang mabalahibong bagay, at napangiti nang makita ito. Ang itim na balahibo nito ay tumatama sa aking binti habang iniikutan nya iyon. It's Calixus' familiar and only at the size of a puppy!

Yumuko ako at ito'y binuhat. “Hey wolfy!” I giggle and play with it. It started licking my face while I remained to pet its head and he seemed to love what I'm doing.

Mga boses mula sa harap ang nagpabaling sa akin, kung saan nakita ko ang aking kapatid na naglalakad palapit sa aming gawi, at kasama nito ang dalawa pang may ari ng bahay na aming pupuntahan.

My eyes transferred to Kaellus neck, where a baby dragon resides who seemed to be sleeping. What a lazy dragon. It yawned, and as soon it opened its mouth, a small flame came out yet it lay its head back to his shoulder and sleep.
