Nyx's POV

Im walking like a zombie in our school's ground. Im tired, really tired.

Flashback

Isinearch ko ang pangalang Noble Academy at agad namang may lumabas. Nakita ko ang picture nung principal na nakausap namin ni Ea nung first day namin dito sa Academy. Syempre principal eh.

Nagtaka ako kung bakit principal agad ang bumungad sakin. Dapat ay ang owner muna kaya nag i-scroll pa ako pababa hanggang sa may natuklasan nanaman ako sa Noble Academy.

Each of students that will enroll in Noble Academy will undergo a survey from the principal to know if the enrollee will pass the quality of being a student in Noble Academy. Each of student(s) must have the ff:

*The money;
*The beauty;
*The popularity and;
*The brain.

To enter this academy, the student(s) must have atleast 2 from the quality said above but most of all, the enrollee MUST have the money. The enrollee will be classified to the section Deity, (the only section that has name) if and only if the student have all the qualities said above. But before that, the enrollee will undergo a very hard test from the academy.

Natulala ako. What kind of test? I can't remember me and Ea answered a test or something. We just pay, and then we go.

Nag i-scroll down pa ako. Next na nabasa ko naman ay isa pang tungkol sa section Deity.

Long time ago, section Deity was created on 1996 by the owner of the school, Shiela Montague. But because of an incident, section Deity was removed by the owner, which is also the creator of that section. Nobody stated the true reason why section Deity was removed. And now, section Deity is back.

I checked the date that this page was written, and nalaman kong last year lang pala ito. So, I conclude, batch to nila Althea. Ang mga kaklase namin ngayon. Section Deity was like reincarnated by them. I mean, by us. Because we're now part of the section.

The owner of Noble Academy is also a student in Noble Academy. No one knows who is he/she because his/her profile is so confidential.

I scrolled down but suddenly, the page was now error. I nearly collapsed. Good thing was I'm in my bed.

End of Flashback

Third Person's POV

Mara is okay now. Napa-check up na siya ng dad niya, nung gabing din yun, pinacheck up na rin siya agad. Home check-up. Hindi umuwi ang dad niya para kamustahin siya kaya't hindi pa nito alam ang totoong nangyare. Doktor pa lamang ang may alam.

May dala siyang gamot na bigay ng doctor kung sakaling natutulala siya, nanginginig, ay mawawala ito at babalik siya sa normal na kalagayan niya. Pero kapalit nito, mawawala ang ala-ala niya tungkol sa nangyare noong gabing iyon at magbabago ang pakikitungo niya sa ibang tao.

Her mom is not home. Mas gusto kasi ni Mara na mom niya ang nag aasikaso sakaniya instead of her nanny's. Usually kasi, dad niya lang ang wala. Busy sa trabaho ganun. Pero naisip niya, baka kasama ng dad niya ang mom niya sa isanh business trip kaya't ipinagsawalang bahala niya ito at pumasok sa Noble Academy.

Princess's POV

Nandito na kaming magkakagrupo sa academy ngayon. Too early, di katulad dati. Umaarte kaming parang walang nangyare. Naglalakad na kami ngayon papunta sa classroom. Napagusapan nga naming sabay sabay pumasok kasi kahit umaarte kaming parang walang nangyare, kinakabahan pa rin kami kung anong reaksyon ni Mara pag nakita niya kami or kung papasok ba siya ngayon. Mas mabuti kung hindi.

Nginingitian ko lahat ng nagha-hi sakin kasi baka sabihin nila snob ako. Nang nasa loob na kami ng classroom, nagkwentuhan agad kami. Nagulat pa nga si Mike at maaga kami. Kasi siya talagang maaga pumapasok. Napagdesisyunan nalang naming hindi na sabihin kay Mike ang nangyare noong gabing iyon. Mas mabuti nang konte. Konte ang poproblemahin.

"Yes! Basty is so funny, I almost burst my drinks out because of laughing!" I said that made us all laughed.

Pero napatigil kami nang mag bukas ang pinto at pumasok si... Mara. She is well-dressed. Without her glasses, I can say that she's really a---- I don't care!

I take a quick glance in the whole room, and all of them is shocked to see Mara dressed-well.

"Dapat pinatay nalang natin siya!" Sabi ni Amanda sa tabi ko. I rolled my eyes at her. Sana nga.

Nagulat ako kasi hindi niya kami pinansin, ni tinapunan man lang ng tingin. Okay? I think this is better.

Pagkapasok ni Mara, agad din namang nagbell hudyat na dadating na si Piggy. Our teacher in Psychology. Siya yung absent ng absent at isang beses pa lang pumapasok kaya wala pang nasisimulan sa ituturo niya.

"Goodmorning." She said and I was amazed by her accent. It's pretty cool. We also said goodmorning until she noticed something. Uh-oh. Looks like the silent-cold hearted slut is in trouble! Hah. As if I care.

Nyx's POV

Is my best friend in trouble now? Hayst. Ang hilig kasi matulog sa klase. Well that's okay. 

"Who is that rude girl sleeping here in my class?" she said with an accent.

"Gaea Klint, ma'am." I confidently said.

Others gave me weird stares na para bang sinasabi, "Are you really her friend?"

I just smiled at them. Maam piggy nodded.

"Please wake her up and I'll ask her a question." Uh.. I think I can't do that. Kapag ginigising kasi siya, she'll turn into a beast.

"What?" nagulat ako ng magsalita ang bestfriend ko. Omg her lazy cool voice is really awesome! Raven! (☆o☆)

Yung iba din namangha sa boses ng bestfriend ko. Ngayon lang ata nila narinig magsalita. Ang swerte ko talaga!!!

Pinanliitan ni maam si Ea ng mata at tinanong.

"What is the meaning of psychology, miss Rude?" taas noong sabi ni maam kay Ea. Minamaliit niya si Ea! Nakalimutan niya bang nasa section Deity siya?

Humikab sa bespren, parang nang aasar habang tumatayo at pupunta sa labas.

"Psychology is the brain trying to understand itself." sabi niya hanggang sa nakarating siya sa pinto at lumabas. Kaso bigla ulet itong nagbukas.

"Ma'am? Do you want to lose weight? Just a friendly advice. If you want to, eat watermelon, grapefruit, eggs, fish, and oatmeal. Drink cold water too, it will help you lose weight, and it will speed up your metabolism. Lower your sugar intake, and don't eat fastfoods. To burn 200 calories, chew a gum for 18 hours, sing a song 23 times. Im sure you're using lip balm right? Use it 1500 times. After that, if you have stretch marks, use vitamin E oil and cocoa butter. Use them daily, okay? You can find them in any local drug store." she said and step out the room again, after that the room filled with laughter. Even me, I can't stop myself from laughing. HAHAHA that's what you get for belittling my best friend!

Dahil dun, dinismiss niya kami agad at lumabas ng room ng may umuusok na ilong.

Mara's POV

I'm on my way home. Naglakad lang ako pauwi because I think this is peaceful and relaxing than riding with someone you don't know. I have my car and driver pero tinakasan ko.

You can hear different voices of animals around you, and you can feel the calming brush of wind to your skin. Relaxing. Ngayon ko nalang kasi ulet to ginawa. Dont know why. I just felt like doing it.

Napatigil ako ng may makita akong kaguluhan sa may malaking bldg.

Lumapit ako sa kaguluhan to get a better view of it. Habang mas lumalapit ako, nagiging pamilyar sakin ang tao sa taas ng bldg. Teka?

Mama? Is that my mom?!

Agad akong tumakbo papunta sa kaguluhan at nakita ang mom ko na nasa taas ng bldg. Mom!

"Mom!! What are you doing---- MOOOOOOOMMMMMMM!!!!!!!"

++*++

Nasa bahay na ako ngayon. Wala ang mga nanny ko, tanging mga bodyguards lang ang natira dahil naka-leave yung iba. Pumunta agad ako sa kitchen at tinignan ko yung Ref kasi baka may iniwan dun na sulat si mom bago niya gawin yun. Pagkatapos ko sumigaw kanina, nanginig ako, nahilo, at nanakit ang ulo ko. Pero huminga ako ng malalim at ininom yung bigay sakin ng doktor kaya nawala ito.

and I am right. May sulat nga si mom. Kinuha ko ang papel na gusot gusot na at medyo basa. Parang iniyakan. Umiyak ang mom ko? Kaya pala.. nitong mga nakaraang araw, ang tamlay niya.

Dear anak,

Pagod na ako anak. I know you can protect yourself because mama made you strong. MAgpapahinga na ako ha? Gusto ko pa sanang makita ka kaso hirap na hirap na ako anak. Hindi ko na kaya, nak. Gusto ko sana sa bahay gawin to pero naaawa ako sayo dahil alam kong pag papasok ka ng bahay, alam kong baka ito lagi ang maisip mo kaya ginawa ko ito sa ibang lugar. I love you anak. Mahal na mahal ka ni mama. Alagaan mo ang sarili mo.. anak.

Pagkatapos ko basahin ang sulat ni mom, naramdaman ko ang agos ng luha sa mata ko. That's it? Walang man lang rason kung bat niya to ginawa?

May luha sa mga mata ko pero I can't feel anything. Lame. Ilan lang ang gusto kong sabihin kay mom. At isa lang ang gusto kong gawin.

"Mom.. I love you so much. You're the most precious gift that god gave to me. Im really lucky to have you as my mom." dinampot ko ang nakita kong kutsilyo habang patuloy ang pagpatak ng luha sa mata ko. I... I wanna die!

Note 💋

Gawa gawa lang po yung sinasabi kong gamot. Hehe. Ewan ko kung meron talaga nun. Tas yung kalokohan ni Ea, nabasa ko lang yun somewhere. Credits to the owner hehe.
