Tale 6

Frenemies

~Charm~

"Are you really ok???" tanong sakin nina Javen at Flay

Tumango ako..

"Sorry.. I think it's better if you go back to class.. You will miss today's lesson if you don't.." saad ko

"It's ok Charm.. Don't worry about it.. Roma will surely teach us that spell anyway.." nakangiting tugon ni Flay

"Pero—"

"Charm it's really ok.. Besides last period na naman yung elemental magic class for today kaya ok lang talaga samin.." saad naman ni Javen

Dalawa lang kasi ang subject namin ngayong araw na parehong three hours each..

"Ok.. Sorry.." saad ko na lang

"But are you really ok??" pangungulit ni Javen

Tumango ako.. "Im ok.. The school nurse said so earlier.."

Nakaka-dissappoint yung nangyari kanina.. I know I'm inferior to Arren.. And my magic is too weak compared to my mom, but to failed casting such a simple spell is really disappointing.. From now on mag-aaral na ko ng mga spells na related sa water magic.. Since mabilis lang naman akong matuto, I will focus and try my best..

Naupo si Flay sa may paanan ng kama kung saan ako pinagpapahinga ng school nurse..

"May napansin lang ako kanina Charm.." saad ni Flay kaya napatingin ako sa kanya..

"Are you sure Water ang elemental attribute mo??" tanong ni Flay

"Y-yes..." –ako

Napatango sya... "This might sound really odd, but when you started summoning your familiar earlier, I felt a very powerful presence eventhough you haven't completely opened the door to the Familiar world..." saad nya

Natahimik ako.. I completely forgot that she specializes in Summoning magic, I have a feeling that someday Flay will be a very powerful Summoner

"Pero baka imagination ko lamang yun.. Hehe.. Sorry.. Ang weird ng mga sinasabi ko.." saad pa ni Flay

"Not at all.." saad ko kaya napatingin sila sakin paareho

"What do you mean..?" nagtatakang tanong nila

"Ahm.. I mean, compared to me, you're a lot better... Im a failure as a witch.." saad ko

"Don't say that.. You're not just use to this life yet.. You'll get better, trust us.." saad ni Flay

"Yep Flay is right.. Alam mo ba na nung first day of school mas malala pa ang mga nagyari kay Flay.." natatawang saad ni Javen

"Talaga??" tanong ko

At tumango naman si Javen..

"Javen please, ibaon na natin sa limot ang nakaraan.." mapaklang saad ni Flay na ikinatawa naming pareho ni Javen..

"By the looks of it, muka namang ok ka lang.. Nagmadali pa naman akong pumunta dito nung mabalitaan ko kay Ms. Wanda na nasa clinic ka.." sabat ng isang boses kaya nahinto kami sa pagtawa at napatingin sa taong nakatayo sa may pintuan ng area kung nasaan kami..

It was Arren.. -.-

"Oh my gosh.. Arren Gavriil Lockser, I mean President... B-bakit ka narito??" gulat na tanong ni Javen

Ngumiti si Arren kina Flay at Javen.. "Im just worried for my girlfriend.." casual nyang saad with a smile dahilan para magsalubong ang mga kilay ko.. This jerk..!

Nanlalaki ang mga matang napatingin sakin sina Flay.. "Girlfriend?? Boyfriend mo ang president ng student council??" hindi makapaniwala nilang tanong sakin

"No.. He.. He's just joking.." sagot ko sabay tapon ng masamang tingin kay Arren..

"Pero wala sa personalidad ni President ang mag-joke Charm.." umiiling na kontra nina Javen..

Wow.. Ako pa yung lumalabas na sinangaling at indenial dahil sa balahurang lalaking toh.. -.-

"Trust me girls, you dont know the true color of this guy.." saad ko.. "Stop fooling around.." saad ko kay Arren sabay sipa sa may binti nya nung makalapit sya..

"Pumunta ako dito because I'm worried at nagawa mo pa talaga akong sipain??" tanong nya with an innocent look na ikinakunot lalo ng noo ko..

"Liar.." tugon ko

Pinitik nya ko sa noo kaya tinapunan ko ulit sya ng masamang tingin, at ngumuti lang sya...

"Wow.. Sure ka bang nagbibiro lang si President nung sabihin nyang girlfriend ka nya..?" tanong ni Flay

"Yes! It's a joke..! This guy is pure evil..! It's his hobby to bully me since we were littl—" naputol ang mga sinasabi ko nung takpan ni Arren ang bibig ko

He heave a sigh.. "So is that how you see me as a person??" malungkot nyang tanong..

"Charm sobra naman yung sinabi mo.." saad ni Javen na halatang pinapanigan ang lalaking toh

"Oo nga naman Charm.. Nasaktan mo ang damdamin ni President.." pagsang-ayon din ni Flay

Wahhh! Wag kayong magpadala sa acting skills ng lalaking toh..!

"Thank you girls.. Mga kaibigan ba kayo ni Artemis??" tanong nya at tumango naman yung dalawa..

"Im Flay.."

"And I'm Javen.."

Tumango-tango si Arren.. "Then Ms. Javen and Ms. Flay, could you give us a moment? I need to talk to her in private.."

No!! Pilit kong tinanggal ang kamay ni Arren sa bibig ko at nagtagumpay naman ako.. "No don't leave..!" kontra ko

"Sorry Charm, babalik na lang kami later.." nakangiting saad nila

 Wag nyo kong iwan... T.T

Flay winked at me before closing the door behind her.. Grabe, iniwan talaga nila ko....

"You have nice friends.." nakangising saad ni Arren sakin at prenteng naupo sa may gilid ng kama..

Kitams! Back to his normal self na ulit ang balahurang toh!! Ang galling nyang um-acting at magpaawa kanina... At ngayon feeling close pa syang nakaupo sa kama kung asan ako.. Kainis.. =3=

"Bakit ka ba nandito??" tanong ko

"I already said my reason.." sagot nya

"Liar.. -.-" –ako

He smiled at nagulat ako nung bigla nyang hawakan ang noo ko.. "Normal naman ang temperatura mo.. May masakit ba sayo?? Bakit ka nandito sa clinic??" tanong nya and for a second halos mapaniwala nya akong concern nga sya.. Pero hindi! This is Arren! There's no way that he'll be really concern towards me..

Tinabig ko ang kamay nya.. "I messed up during elemental magic class, I think Ms. Wanda already know that I'm an ice witch.." saad ko.. At wait.. Bakit hindi ako makatingin ng diretsyo sa kanya..?

"Yeah.. You really messed up.. First day mo pa lang may nakadiskubre na agad ng sikreto mo?? Are you that stupid???" tanong nya

"Ehh kasi.. Kasi yung activity kanina wrong timing.. Di pa ko nakakaadjust sa sitwasyon tas nangyari na agad yun.. Tsaka ano.. Tsaka ang hirap kaya itago ng totoong attribute ko..!" depensa ko naman

"Excuses... Just say that you're just stupid para tapos na agad ang usapan.." saad nya sabay ayos dun sa suot nyang salamin..

I glared at him and he simply smirk.. "You're not helping, you know that right??" naiinis kong tanong

"I know.." naka-ngiti nyang tugon na lalong ikinainis ko..

Ano kaya ang weakness ng mokong na toh..???? May magic kaya para mahabol ng isang lupon ng mga bubuyog ang balahurang toh?? Or kahit at least magkaLBM man lang sya?? Nakakairita na kasi talaga sya.. -.-

He smirk at saka tumayo.. "You'll get through this Artemis.. You're a lot stronger than what you think.." saad nya at saka lumabas nitong silid..

Ehh?? Encouraging words ba yung huli nyang sinabi??

Impusible... -.-

Pero para kasing oo...?

No.. Impusible talaga eh...

Yung feeling almighty na si Arren??

No way right??

Pero..

Teka nga, bat ko ba dinidibdib ang mga sinabi ng mokong na yun??
