Chapter 22: Not everyone thinks the same

...

3rd Person's P.O.V

(Ahahaha, syempre. Bias ko ang sarili ko, nuh. Love yourself)

It has been an hour and Chloe and Chummy kept dancing till they fall out.

Of course, training is no easy task.

"Ayoko na, pagod na ako." Chummy said.

"Do not give up Chy, 30 minutes nalang at break na natin." Chloe convinced her.

"Fineeee...." Pilit na sagot ni Chummy.

Looking at how hardworking they are, a girl with pretty peach hair looked at their way.

She knew that these two would get in her way as an Trainee.

'What do I do?' She asked herself.

She thought for a moment and narrowed her eyes on them wickedly.

"Bullying will be fine." She said.

She clapped her hands and immediately both her bestfriends Tabitha and Aura quickly got into her side.

"Yes, Sunset?"

"Aura, Tab. I don't like those two girls. Like they'll get in our way being popular!" She said.

"Sure ka? Yang mga batang yan? Besides, okay lang sa amin na hindi matanggap. Basta ikaw Oo, magagaling yan silang dalawa they would be perfect for being your team. Even it's a girl group na tatlong members lang ang mapipili sa pinaka-last." Aura calmly said.

But boy, she wants to be picked as one of the last three so bad!

She just wants to play angel for once.

"Aww, how sweet besties. But the truth is I want you both to be picked with ne in the end." Sunset reasoned.

'Ugh! I hate pasikat o hardworking manlang na newcomers! Para naman sila ang ma-pipili!' Sunset said in her mind.

They we're looking at the newbies—Chloe and Chummy.

But then their gaze was broken when they heard the rarest creature in their Trainee club distract them.

"Excuse me?"

'Whoa, it's her. I wish If both my besties weren't picked, I wish that she was one of the girls being picked with me in the end!'

"Yes Andrea?" She asked.

The three girls were always dreaming of becoming one of Andrea's bestfriend. The thing is, Andrea is picky about who to befriend with.

She wants Friends that wouldn't betray her, the kinds that wouldn't be friends with her because of her looks and status.

A real friend perhaps?

"Can you guys dance, the others are practicing really hard while three of you are just sitting here." Andrea requested.

"Sure." Sunset quicky answered.

The three positioned themselves.

Chloe and Chummy we're almost to give but they still kept on dancing.

Meadow on the other hand was looking at him. He really was great, she knew from when last night that she saw him sat in the table and his eyes traveled over the people who talked.

He wasn't talking, he was just observing, he was barely even saying anything at all.

She knew that she like him, he was...Unheard.

And she never wanted to change anything from him. She just smiled and patiently sat over the ground to see how well they were going to perform.

Far across the distance a pair of eyes are looking daggerly at Meadow, how could she not notice him? The only person she could only notice was the boy beside him!

How ridiculous!

Is it because he wasn't enough? She must be literally into him!

'Meadow, Meadow. How I wish I could touch your hair, put my arms over your shoulder and trap you in my arms as if It's a cage made for you. How I wish You could look at me not the same way as anyone, Me. And not him, Only Me, Not Him!'

Moving on.

....

Leo's P.O.V

(Omaygad, for the first time in forever~)

I was in a dance club, for the first time in my entire life.

I was dancing, for the first time before My family was broken.

I was dancing, for the first time after my mother left.

I was dancing, for the first time after I never saw my father.

I was dancing, for the first time I ever felt so trusted.

I was dancing, for the first time feeling so secured.

And I was dancing for the first time in front of her.

It was a funny feeling, being close with someone and being forgotten was the last thing I'll ever do.

"Leo, magwarm up na talaga tayo, kanina pa kita nakikitang sayaw ng sayaw." I saw a face beamed with a curved lips.

"Okay, Marzia." I replied casually.

Yes, I've been dancing this whole time. And I'm sure that I couldn't feel my feet anymore. It wasn't stingy or kinda disturbing. I just felt a kind of flow that couldn't stop me from dancing.

"Hindi, Marzia. Paupo-in mo na siya. Kanina pa siya sayaw ng sayaw." I turned and look at someone and saw Shadow. The President of the student council, baseball club, dancing club and One of the greatest judges.

"Sure." Marzia replied and turned to look at me.

"You heard him."

At this point, I wouldn't try to argue since I can now feel my legs getting numb.

I turned around and saw Meadow. I walked over her direction.

The moment I got my way there, I sat beside her and grabbed my bottled water.

As I was drinking, I was looking at my dance group members. Some were talking and stretching and others are trying to dance.

I couldn't help but smile, How wonderful. But Eventually I know that this moment won't last. Especially when they find out about the truth.

About how Emperia is in great danger and how the poeple are going to be taken over.

It's Miserable.

"Kailan ka pa ba sumasayaw?" I heard a sharp voice beside me.

I looked at Meadow to see that she wasn't looking at me but it seems that she was the one asking.

"Matagal-tagal na." I answered.

"I see." Meadow replied.

She didn't say anything. She was quiet, much more quiet that she used to be.

I then looked at what she's looking at and I could see that she was only looking at the dance group.

They were all dancing in sync.

"Who do you think dance better?" I asked.

"I think Emerald does." She answered stating her own opinion.

"I know, he has been dancing whenever when his parents aren't around."  I told her.

"Mhm.." she just mumbled.

We we're just sitting there. I wasn't minding her presence since my attention was only in the dance group until she talked.

"You dance far more great than better."

I looked at her and saw her facing me. Her chin was rested on her knees as she was only staring at me.

"......." I said nothing silence was the only conversation available, we were just talking with our eyes.

She was just, staring. It's not awkward but it's the kind of stare that was scanning through you.

"Why aren't you saying anything?" She asks.

"Well...Thank you for telling me I dance Great." I answered.

"No need to thank me. I was just stating the truth." She said.

I was just fiddling with my fingers when I noticed that she stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked her as she was dusting off her uniform.

"It's hot here. I'mma go get some fresh air." She reasoned.

She then organized herself and The only thing I could do was look at her. I then quickly took a quick glance in the dance group except president, he wasn't there anymore and saw them stretching.

There's only stretching for today. So I might as well get some fresh air.

"Hold up." I told Meadow, and she stopped and looked at me.

"Let's go get some fresh air." I said

She just nodded and we walked.

.....

Hakun's P.O.V

Naglalakad ako. I was walking in the hallway when suddenly I heard loud thump somewhere.

I looked outside the window and guess what I saw.

It's my Dad's freaking car. Now what the hell is he doing in here?

Napadabog naman ako sa pagalalakad sa hallway.

Not again, papauwiin naman nila ako. Ayoko na sa bahay, nakaka-inip.

Then suddenly ay bigla namang tumunog ang school speaker.

'Mr. Hakun Oizys and Mr.Emerald Evolet. Please proceed to the principal's office right after this announcement.'

I knew it.

Fine. Since nawala si Harles ay palagi na akong inaabuso then sudden change of mind ay bigla naman akong ginawang Harles. But bakit tinatawag rin si Emerald?

(A/N: Kung hindi niyo naalala, Si Harles ay yung fraternal twin brother ni Hakun.)

Hindi ako pinapalabas, Di ako pinapatakbo, every week ay may Piano tutor ako, hindi ako pinapakain ng junk food. Really?!

Napa-punta naman ako sa nakakainis na principal's office na yan in which hate ko talaga kasi nandoon naman ang nagmamagaling kong ama.

How Ironic that he tried to kill me and now wants me back.

I was lost in my thoughts when suddenly ay may naka-bangga ako.

"S-sorry!" A voice squeaked.

I turned to look at who the shucks this is and then to my surprise. It was the Computer club president—Shane.

(A/N: Shane, Like She-yn ang pag basa niyang name niya.)

She looks completely ordinary, her animalia is a Hamster.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to bump into you." She explained.

I shrugged it off and passed by her, not wanting to look back.

As I made my way into the principal's office, I couldn't help but notice a person standing outside the principal's office.

His animalia is a—wait. Student council president? With student council secretary?

I walked over their direction and I couldn't believe that I saw Jeien (The Student council secretary) bowing down at Shadow.

"P-please! I really like you! I really do!" I overheard Jeien saying.

How funny when your Ex breaks up with you just because  they found someone better they can't have.

"I told you, I don't want to be involved in any romantic relationship between my colleagues." I heard Shadow replied.

"But—President. I can do much more better than any other girls! I'm always by your side! I will take care of you since we are both in the council room!"

"Enough, Jeien." Shadow tried to stop her.

"But Shadow—"

"He said Enough, Jeien. Didn't you hear?" I cut off their conversation and both looked at my direction.

"Hakun.." She whispered.

"Stop saying my name like I am still yours." I grumbled.

After those, she became silent.

"By the way, Hakun. Pinapatawag ka ni Principal." Shadow then said.

"Yes, I know. Now If you may excuse me." Walang gana kong sabi habang papasok na sa principal's office.

"Well, nandito ka na pala Mr. Oizys. Kanina pa nanidito naghihintay ang papa mo." I heard the Principal said.

Napatingin naman ako kung sino yung naka upo at doon ko nakita ang Ama ko, meron rin siyang katabi na para rin namang isang businessman.

"Hakun..!" Father said as he was rushing in front of me at ine-examine ang mga sugat ko.

"How many times did I tell you not to cut yourself!" Galit niyang sigaw habang naka-tingin parin saga sugat ko.

"If this goes on, I wouldn't know what to do na talaga..." He said.

Tsk. Ganyan ka nalang kabait kasi wala ka nang pamilyang natitira kundi ako nalang.

Then again, tumunog ang pintuan at doon ko nakita pumasok sila Leo at Emerald.

"Mr. Emerald Evolet and Mr. Leonardo Sullivan. You're here." Masayang saad ni Principal.

"Leo! Emerald! How in the world are you here! Paano kayo nakatakas sa mansion, ha?!" Biglaang sigaw ni Mr. Evolet.

"Ikaw rin naman Leo!" Ani siya sabay turo kay Leo.

"Diba ikaw ang  in-assign ko banatayan si Emerald?! E anong ginawa mo?! I'm so disappointed!"

"I'm so sorry, Master." Yun lang ang naisagot ni Leo.

"Sorry?! Akala mo ba madadaan mo lang ako sa sorry?!"

"Dad, bakit ba ikaw nagagalit, ha?!" Emerald then exclaimed.

"Bakit?! Baka naman mawala ka! Pag-uwi ko at ni anino mo, di ko makita! You are gone for almost 2 weeks now!" Mr. Evolet then said.

"Galit ka dahil wala ako sa bahay? Eh, Ikaw palagi tong wala na atang bahay kasi di ka na umuuwi! Tapos ngayong umuwi ka, galit ka dahil nawawala ang anak mo?!" Sigaw na pahayag ni Emerald.

"Sir he's right." Leonard stated his opinion.

Mr.Evolet's eyes became furious and then punched Leo in his stomach.

Wala naman akong magawa kundi tumitig lang. Natatakot akong gamutin si Leo kasi, it includes powers and my Blood.

Gosh. Kidney punches. They hurt alot.

I could see Leo barely standing in this room, he was covered in blood. But not literally.

"Dad!" Emerald shrieked.

"Wala akong ginawang masama! And you on the otherhand, you are coming back home with me!" He said.

"But Dad!" Emerald complained.

"No buts!" He angrily growled.

"But—" Before Emerald could say another word. The sound of a painful slap filled across the room.

Emerald's expression was surprised but we could all see that his cheeks are swollen.

Teardrops came as quickly as a wind could be.

The Duke's expression was stoic and cold.

Then suddenly the door opened. All we can do is to dart up our eyes to the one entering. It was Shadow, Meadow and—Alpha.

Duke.Evolet's lips began to tremble.

"Y-your majesty.." He whimpered and then Alpha's eyes darted on Emerald.

Linapitan niya si Emerald.

"Who dare hurt him?" He asked.

Alpha's eyes had an intimidating presence and all we could do is to not shift our gaze away from him.

"You?" Alpha asked while looking at the Duke.

The Duke could barely speak but he then quickly falsely admitted.

"No! Hindi po!"

Alpha just gave him a dagger stare then he slowly got to Emerald.

"Okay ka lang?" Alpha asked.

Emerald then nodded.

"Stop Lying, I know you're not okay. C'mere let's go to the clinic quickly." Sabi niya kay Emerald bago kinalong ang isa niyang braso sa balikat niya as a support.

Then, napabalik naman siya ng tingin sa principal at sa Duke.

"Emerald's Not going anywhere." He said.

Then finally seeing Leo bloodied, Shadow and Meadow ruched to his aid at tinulungan rin siya papuntang Clinic.

After that, all eyes are darted kay Duke.

"Why didn't you say that he was his Majesty..?!" The principal asked.

"Hindi ko rin alam na nandito yung batang yon." The Duke exclaimed.

"Damn! Malaking loss talaga tong university na to if we offended the prince! Bakit mo ba kasi sinampal ang anak mo?!" The principal shouted.

"Huwag mo nga akong sisigawan! Alam mo ba na after sa posisyon ng Hari, Reyna, prinsipe, prinsesa ay ang Mga Duke?!" Galit na sigaw ni Duke. Evolet.

"Alam niyo ba na may kaya kami!? Marami kaming pera at pwede namin ipasarado tong skwelahan na'to?!" He hissed.

Napatahimik naman ang Principal.

Then bigla namang napasigaw rin si Dad.

"Alam mo rin ba ang Pendilor ang pinaka-mayaman sa mga Teknolohiya at Business! Kahit konektado ka sa Hari ay mas mayaman parin kami! Mapapatayan namin ang yaman niyo!" Sigaw ni Dad.

"Harvey, akala ko magkasundo tayo dito!" Ani ng Duke.

"Kapag usapan to ng pinapasukan ng anak ko at reputasyon, syempre pipiliin ko talaga tong nasa poder ko." Depensiya ni dad.

Wala ba namang nasabi si Duke kundi biglaan naman siyang tumayo at tumungo sa pintuan.

"Simula ngayon, Mga Oizys at Highfalls. Kayo na ang kalaban ko! At sa ayaw at sa gusto niyo man, I pu-pull out ko dito ang anak ko at si Sullivan!" Ani neto habang nagdadabog.

Then sinarado niya ang pinto.

Napatingin naman ako sa Principal.

"Hay..Malaking kawala rin to sa kayamanan ng mga Alastair. Nag bayad ang anak ni Alastair ng sobrang laki, para lang mapapasok si Evolet at Sullivan." Ani ng Principal.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of it, Ibabalik ko kay Mr. Alastair ang pera."  Dad said in which napatingin nalang sa kanya si Principal at napa-tango.

"Okay, since tapos na ang issue dito ay pwede mo nang i-uwi mo na ang anak mo. Tutal, meron pa siyang extension sa sem break niya."  The Principal said.

Napatingin naman si Dad sa akin. I looked down.

"Halika muna, Anak. Uwi na tayo." Dad said.

I wanted to reject him but I know that If I would reject him, magagaya nanaman ako kanila Emerald at Leo. O di kaya ikukulong ako sa White Room or May Psychiatrist naman siyang i-ha hire para sa akin.

"Okay, dad." I agreed.

"Very well then, Principal Highfall. Aalis na kami." Dad said.  Then we both headed to the exit.

Paano na kaya ang mga ibang Peculiars?
