Yumi pov
"Mr. Stranger" i heard Azumi mumbled while she's staring on the direction of the Royals. Kumunot kaagad ang noo ko ng marinig iyon sa kaniya. Mr. Stranger? The Who.
"Hoy, bakit natulala ka na dyan? Don't tell me na may gusto ka sa isa sa kanila?" Fumi asked. Kahit ako ay naging interesado rin sa isasagot nito. Umiling naman kaagad itong si Azumi sa sinabi ni Fumi sa kanya
"Of course not. I'm sure those guys are bunch of arrogant people" Azumi answered but she sound defensive and i don't know why? Dahil doon ay kumunot ang noo namin ni Fumi.
"How can you say that to them? Do you meet them before?" i asked.
"No, i mean i just meet one from those gentleman" Azumi answered, clearly stating her point. Tumango lang ako ng marinig iyon. Sino kaya?
"Who?" Fumi asked.
"I don't know" she said that made me more confuse. Tiningnan naman namin ito ng masama. Pinagloloko ba kami ni Azumi? She met one of the royals but she don't know who that person was.
UNBELIEVABLE
"Hey, hey you two, I know that look. You look at me like a stupid because i don't know who is Mr. Stranger" Azumi said.
"Mr.Stranger?????" Fumi and I asked in chorus. Hindi naman niya kami sinagot dahil itinuon nito ang kanyang atensiyon sa kinakain.
"Tingnan mo itong babaeng ito. Kinakausap pa eh-"
"Hey, Ms. Stupid" bigla naman akong na-estatwa sa aking kinauupuan. Hindi ko tuloy natapos ang sasabihin ko. Bakit siya nandito? Nakita kong maging si Azumi ay napatigil na rin sa pagkain at tiningan ang Prinsipe.
"STOP CALLING ME THAT MR. STRANGER" Azumi seriously said.
Nagkatinginan naman kaming dalawa ni Fumi habang hindi makapaniwala sa mga nangyayari. So she was referring to Prince Mathew. WHAT THE HELL
Napanganga pa kaming dalawa ng umupo pa si Prince Mathew sa tabi ni Azumi.
"Who told you that you can sit beside me?" mataray na sabi ni Azumi sa prinsipe. Parang hindi naman alintana ng binata ang pagtataray ng aming kaibigan.
"Me of course" Mathew said confidently. Feeling close eh. Kami naman itong tila mga sira na nakatingin lang sa dalawa. Hmm. I smell something fishy. Well, definitely not my food.
"Umalis ka nga tsaka we're not close and i don't even know you. I DON'T TALK TO A STRANGER LIKE YOU" Azumi said while she's glaring to Mathew.
Nagulat naman kaming lahat ng inilahad ni Mathew ang kanang kamay nito kay Azumi. Hindi rin nakaligtas sa aking pandinig ang pagsinghap ng maraming studyante na nakatunghay kina Mathew at Azumi.
"I'm Mathew Ezekiel Elementia, Prince of Elemental Kingdom" Mathew introduce with a smile plastered on his lips. Did i just saw HIM smile genuinely? End of the world na ba? Huwag naman sana. Marami pa akong pangarap sa buhay.
"Kyaaaaaaaaaah" Tulad ng inaasahan nagkagulo ang mga estudyante. This is our first time to a certified poker face master and a cold-hearted prince like him to smile like that. Nacu-curious tuloy ako kung anong relasyon nitong dalawa. Well, bagay naman sila. Siguradong guwapo at maganda ang anak nila for sure.
"So, pwede ko na bang malaman ang pangalan mo, Ms. Stupid" Mathew asked. Kahit na may pang-iinsulto ang pagtawag nito kay Azumi ay bakit nakakakilig pa rin ito.
"Azumi Titania Raven" tipid na pakilala ni Azumi.
"Nice name"
"Thanks"
Nagkatitigan naman silang dalawa na para bang punong-puno ang kanilang mga titig ng tunay na pagmamahal. Parang nag-uusap silang dalawa gamit ang mata at sa sobrang focus nila ay nakalimutan nila na nag-eexist kami. Pwede ba yun? Pati ang kanilang mga kamay ay parang nakadikit sa isa't-isa. As if, they are so much in love to each other.
Wait? Too early.. Baka na-love at first sight sila sa isa't-isa? Hmm. Pwede rin
"Ehem" someone fake his cough that was enough to interrupt the sweetest scene i ever saw during my stay here inside this academy. Tiningnan ko naman ito ng masama dahil sa pag-epal nito. Curse this guy for ruining such precious moment of them. Prince Keith, i'll kill you for ruining that scene. Just kidding.
"Ouch"
"Aray"
"damn it"
Prince Keith cursed continuously pagkatapos itong makatanggap ng tatlong magkakasunod na batok mula sa mga kasamahan nito. Prince Keith gave his deadly stares at his friends pero wala iyong epekto sa kanila. Linampasan lang siya ng mga ito at umupo sa pwesto namin. Mabuti na lang at malapad ang mesa at marami pang bakanteng upuan kaya naman walang problema kung marami man ang makiki-share sa amin.
The only problem in this kind of set up is the fact that everyone inside the cafeteria is staring rudely at our direction. As if may ginawa naman kaming masama. Kasalanan ba namin na dito rin pinili ng mga hinahangaan nilang prinsipe na kumain?
"So bro, who's this beautiful lady beside you?" Prince Ash asked. Nakatutok ang lahat ng atensiyon namin ngayon kay Azumi at Mathew na magkatabi pa rin.
"Tsk" Prince Mathew responded. Halatang di gustong makilala si Azumi ng iba niyang kaibigan. Wala pang relasyon pero seloso na. Iba din ito.
"I'm Azumi Titania Raven, it's nice to meet you guys" Azumi introduced. Napa-tsk ulit si Mathew sa sinabi ni Azumi.
"What's nice about that" Prince Mathew irritatingly mumbled. Hindi iyon nakaligtas sa aking pandinig, Halatang nagseselos nga.
"It's none of your business" Azumi answered.
"Tsk" Mathew answered as usual.
"Grabe ka naman leader, we just want to know her name. Isn't it nice to meet her?" Prince Luke.
"It's not" Mathew coldly said.
"Saan ba pinaglihi itong lalaking to?" Azumi said in my mind. May telephaty pala siya na ability. Is telephaty her secondary ability?
"I don't know. Hindi ko naman iyan kaano-ano" i answered. "Pagpasensiyahan mo nalang" dagdag ko pa. Nakita ko siyang bumuntong hininga.
"I'm Keith Airsenton"
"I'm Luke Grayson"
"Ice Frost"
"Ash Firen, at your service"
"The coolest guy ever, Vincent Waterious"
The Royals introduced themselves without extending their hands nor smiling because their leader was staring at them one by one. Sino bang gusting makipagkamay kong may nakabantay na leon sa kanila.
Possessive eh. Para namang sa kanya si Azumi.
"You guys are handsome, except this guy beside me" Azumi said. Tiningnan naman siya ng masama ni Mathew pero imbes na matakot ay nag-peace sign lang ito with her sweetest smile.
"Oopps huwag ka munang mag-react. You're not handsome for me because you are the most hot gorgeous guy i'd ever seen" After Azumi said that, the cold-hearted prince smile once again. What the hell. Siya ba talaga si Mathew. Sobrang nakakapanibago pero nakakatuwa rin naman kasi sa wakas ay nagagawa na rin nito ang mga simpleng bagay na hindi nito nagagawa noon.
"Iyan ganyan. You must always smile. Mas lalo kang nagiging gwapo sa paningin ko" muntik na akong mahulog sa aking kinauupuan sa sinabi ni Azumi.
How can she talk like that to Prince Mathew? She seems not affected to Mathew's intimidating aura? They look like a couple right now but sadly they're not.
"Babe, you're here lang pala" malanding sabi ng isang babae na tuluyang sumira sa araw naming lahat. Here she is again.
Warning. Malandi alert..
