SUE.

I grumpily open my eyes. I zapped Aizelle's alarm clock, it was ringing endlessly. I'm still sleepy. Sinilayan ko ang wall clock namin at napaungot ako sa inis dahil alas-sais pa lang ng umaga. Pilit kong pinikit ang mga mata ko upang makatulog muli ngunit nanumbalik sa isipan ko ang mga nangyari kagabi.

I slapped my forehead. Bakit ba kasi ginawa ni Phoenix 'yon?

Kasalanan talaga ni Phoenix kung bakit puyat ako ngayon.

At nasira ang beauty routine ko dahil sa kanya.

Letse.

Kinginang yakap 'yan hanggang ngayon ramdam na ramdam ko pa rin.

"Para kang tanga, Sue." I look up just to see Ice squinting at me. She even rolled her eyes. Nakita ko naman si Aizelle na natatawa sa 'kin habang nagtatanggal ng morning star niya.

"Ganda ng good morning mo," I said. Ice just shrugged at kinuha ang kanyang tuwalya saka dumiretso sa banyo.

"Gusto mo malaman kung ano 'yong ginagawa mo kanina kaya ka sinabihang tanga ni Ice?" Aizelle asked. Tumango naman ako sa kanya saka siya lumapit. She showed me her phone and made watch a video of myself.

I was slapping my face and then I will smile like an idiot. Gumugulong pa ako sa kama na parang batang kinikilig.

In short, parang tanga lang.

Hahalbutin ko sana yung phone niya nang biglang lumabas si Ice sa banyo at kumaripas nang takbo si Aizelle papunta ro'n. Ay wow, ang galing.

Ice quizzically looked at me, "Why are you looking so stupid?" Ice asked. She looks concerned kaya tumabi siya sa 'kin habang pinatutuyo niya ang kanyang buhok.

"Vinideohan ako ni Aizelle tapos parang tanga ako ro'n sa video."

"Yuck. Magtooth brush ka nga." Ice bluntly said. Lumayo pa siya sa 'kin habang hawak ang ilong niya na para akong may nakakahawang sakit.

Nang lumabas si Aizelle sa banyo ay iwas-tingin siya sa 'kin habang sumisipol samantalang si Ice ay patuloy pa rin na umiiling habang nakatakip ang ilong. Inis akong pumasok sa banyo.

I fuckin' hate the Sun and the Moon right now.

Free classes kami ngayon. Sky will teach Ice how to ride a pegasus. The pegasus was a gift given by Poseidon to every newcomer. And Ice received a pegasus that was whiter than snow. And just like Ruri, what she got was a girl. Phoenix named it Melt. Feeling niya ay kanyang pegasus 'yon and unexpectedly ay nagustuhan 'yon ni Ice.

Let me present to you, the duo.

Nang lumabas ako sa banyo ay napansin kong nag-uusap sina Ice at Aizelle. I don't know but they look closer than they should be.

"Dinala ka ro'n ni Sky?" Aizelle asked. Her eyes were twinkling while looking at Ice. Kunot noo akong tumingin kay Aizelle at nang mapansin niya ay gumuhit siya sa hangin nang korte ng isang puno.

I smirked. It was Sky's favorite place and can be found at the edge of Belster. But my smirk turned into a sad smile because that place may be his favorite yet it also holds one of his horrible memories.

That place is their hideout. Sky and that lost sheep.

The lost sheep who turned his back to the Olympians.

Ice curiously looked at us, "Hmm?"

"That is a special place for Sky. It was his training ground noong mga bata pa kami. Well, he doesn't like being in here that is why he was always roaming around the Belster and accidentally saw that place. Day by day he started practicing his blessing dahil alam niyang hindi na siya makakabalik sa pinanggalingan niya." I explained. Sinundan pa siya ng Primus Section para lamang makita ang ginagawa niya hanggang sa natawa kami dahil pati puno kinakausap niya.

"That reminds me, ikaw ang pinakamatagal dito, Sue. Si Hera pa mismo ang nagbigay kay Sue kina Mr. Panther kaya paborito siya no'n." Aizelle said. They said that I've lived in Mt. Olympus for almost two years when I was a baby because Zeus was really fond of me. And the reason why Hera gave me was she was jealous of me. Mr. Panther and the other Centaurus took care of me. "But still, si Sue rin ang pinakahuli rin na nakagamit ng kanyang blessing."

"Shut up, Aizelle." I warned. She just giggled.

"And you know, Ice. Sky, Light, Sue, and- basta may isa pa. Sila yung mga nauna rito and after three years Aizen and I joined." Aizelle said.

"How about Phoenix?" Ice asked.

"He joined us seven years ago... He seems so cheerful when he joined back then but whenever he's alone, he's mourning about something," I said. Phoenix never opened the reason why he joined us. Basta ang alam ko mula siya sa Sun Kingdom and he's a royal in there. The Sun Kingdom was the counterpart of the Cerulean Kingdom. The Sun Kingdom was located in the south while the Cerulean Kingdom was in the north.

"But... Paano ka naging anak ni Eros?" Ice asked Aizelle.

Aizelle playfully laughs and lightly pinched Ice, "Secret. But let me give you a hint, let say that I am a miracle." she meaningfully said. Napailing na lamang ako dahil kahit matagal ko na siyang kasama ay wala rin akong nakuhang sagot sa kanya.

"How about you, Ice?" I asked.

"My father told me that I am Artemis' daughter." she shrugged. Pinagmasdan niya ako at isang ngisi ang sumilay sa labi niya sabay tingin kay Aizelle, "Do you know Sue kissed Phoenix during our mission." my eyes widened.

"OMD! YOU KISSED PHOENIX?! MY OTP!" Aizelle squealed.

I felt blood rushing at my face. And it only made me remember that stupid mission and what happened yesterday.

"It's your fault. You tricked me."

"It was just a suggestion."

"No, you tricked me by saying it will wake up Phoenix."

"But, it did."

Napatigil ako nang maramdaman ko ang paglapat ng kamay ni Aizelle sa aking balikat habang tumatango-tango pa siya, "Finally, Sue."

"Bakit niyo ako pinagtutulungan? Wala ka namang narinig sa 'kin about sa inyo ni Light!" I exclaimed to Aizelle. Bigla niyang tinanggal ang kamay niya sa balikat ko at umiwas nang tingin.

"Sinamahan ko lang siya sumakay ng ferris wheel."

"You have fear of heights, gago."

"Bakit bawal samahan pag gano'n?"

"Oo, unless may ginawa kayo?"

Bigla namang namula si Aizelle saka ako pinaltok ng unan,"Wala ano! MAGKAHAWAK LANG KAMI NG KAMAY NOONG NASA FERRIS WHEEL KAMI! I MEAN WALAAAA TALAGA!"

"Aizelle-"

"HOY! HANGGANG ANONG ORAS NIYO PA BALAK MAGHARUTAN D'YAN SA TAAS?! BILISAN NIYO AT PUPUNTA NA TAYO SA FIELD, UUNA NA KAMI SUMUNOD NA LAMANG KAYO!"

We all stayed quiet because of Sky's scream. Lumagapak pa ang pinto sa baba. We decided to ready the things we need at bumaba. We are expecting them to wait for us but they are nowhere to be found.

"Hi, melt." Ice greeted her pegasus. She was talking to it even though she wouldn't be able to understand her pet. Well, si Sky lang naman ang taong kabayo rito. I roamed my sight but the guys were nowhere to be found again.

Nasaan ang mga lalaking 'yon?

"YELO!" Ice suddenly flinched. Sa hindi kalayuan ay nakita ko si Sky na patakbong palapit sa amin with his face darkened. He was holding a hello kitty- earphone... I wryly smile and glanced at Ice. She was the one who bought it yesterday.

Tarantang sumakay si Ice kay Melt. That was fast she already knows how to ride a pegasus. Nang makarating sa pwesto namin si Sky ay nasilayan ko ang isang sirang earphone. It was murdered. Tinawag ni Sky si Simone at hinabol si Ice sa ere.

Love is in the air.

"Baliw," Aizelle mumbled. I tilted my head and saw the other three boys walking in our direction.

"Light! May sasabihin daw sa'yo si Aizelle!" Aizelle glared. Mabilis na naglakad sina Light at Phoenix papunta sa direksyon namin samantalang si Aizen ay kumakaway pa sa paligid.

"Ano 'yon?" Light asked. Tumalikod naman ako sa kanila para pigilan ang tawa ko dahil mukhang natatae na si Aizelle. Narinig ko naman na sumagot si Aizelle kay Light,"Wala. Pinagtitripan ka lang ni Sue. Wait-Anong problema ni Aizen?"

"'Yan din yung tanong namin kanina pa." Phoenix said. Sabay abot sa akin ng bottled water,"Pabukas sue hindi ko kaya."

When Aizen finally reached our place, he grinned at us.

Parang humithit ng goma ang isang 'to.

"Hey, guys. Kulang ata tayo?" Aizen asked. We all pointed at our top and he smiled widely.

"Wow. Love is when you are riding in a pegasus." Aizen said. He was smiling that is making me want to vomit.

Tumingin naman kami nina Phoenix kay Aizelle upang mainterview ang kapatid niya ngunit umiling lamang siya.

"Aizen, anong nahithit mong goma-I mean ba't ka good mood ngayon?" I asked. His smile grew wider and his eyes began to twinkle,"I met mermaid yesterday."

Babarahin ko sana siya na walang mermaid sa lupa nang makita namin ang biglang pagdilim sa aming pwesto. At our top was Melt, Ice jumps out of her pegasus and suddenly pulled me.

"Use your thunder to Sky."

"Why would-"

"Do you want to freeze?" She asked. I gulped. Masama ang loob kong ginawa ang sinabi niya. I let a thunder strike Sky to paralyze him for a moment. And after that, she made me eat something. Lumingon ako sa paligid upang hanapin siya pero nawala siya.

"Ice, nasaan ka?"

"In your front."

"Naging invisible ka?"

"You, too."

"AICELYN HAILEY STONE! LAGOT KA SAKIN KAPAG NAKITA KITA." Sky screamed. Napansin kong nanggigil ito sa inis habang lumilingon sa paligid at tila hinahanap kami. Oo nga pala, sinunod ko ang utos ni Ice pero hindi ko alam kunh bakit sya hinahabol ni Sky. May naramdaman naman akong ibinigay sa akin si Ice kaya't kinuha ko ito.

"Use that."

Sinuot ko ang shades na binigay niya sa akin ngayon ay nakikita ko na ang ginagawa ni Ice. She was smirking while watching Sky.

"Ano bang ginawa mo kay sky?"

"I changed his earphone into a hello kitty one. I didn't know that he will use it in the public and he was walking cooly in the hallways when someone said that he looks cute in that hello kitty earphone." She's a demon. "And I didn't know that he saw me buying it." What an idiot. Talagang makikita siya ni Sky magkakasama kami at pinapanood siya ni Sky kagabi.

"Aizen looks creepy." Ice said.

"He said, he saw a mermaid yesterday," I said.

"A mermaid, huh?"

"What about it?"

"Nothing. Anyways, limang oras tayong invisible, Sue."

"Eh, pagtripan natin sila. At si Aizelle ang unahin natin!"

"Anong pinaplano mo?" We are now following Aizelle who sneaked out in the field. Tumungo siya sa cabin at palihim na tumago sa kwarto niya. Ilang beses munang lumingon sa paligid si Aizelle bago binuksan ang drawer niya at kinuha ang isang picture.

It was her and Light. Nakaakbay si Light sa kanya and based from the background it was inside a passenger cabin in the Ferris wheel.

"Light~ light~ light~" Ice mumbled sweetly. Aizelle nervously hid the photo and roamed her sight around.

"Oh my demigods! Wala akong gusto kay Light konsenya!" Aizelle screamed.

"Gusto mo si Light. He's your flashlight." Napasimangot naman si Ice sa sinabi ko pero ako'y natatawa dahil para mapatawa ko. Agad na tinakpan ni Ice ang bibig ko.

"WALA NGA SABI!"

"Aizelle sinong kausap mo d'yan?" Light shouted from the outside. Mas lalong namula si Aizelle dahil dito sabay takip ng unan sa kanyang mukha.

"WALA!"

May apat na oras pa kami para maging invisible ang sabi ni Ice ay si Aizen muna ang aming pagtitripan kasunod ay si Phoenix at saka si Light naman yung huli ay hindi ko narinig ng ayos pero narinig ko na may "S" soung yung pangalan kaya't alam kong si Sky ulit ang huling oag titripan namin.

"Ayon si Aizen." Turo ko kay Aizen agad na lumapit naman si Ice sa pwesto ni Aizen saka ito matinis na sumigaw dahilan para ngumiti ng matamis si Aizen.

"Aizen!"

"Serena?" Takang sabi ni Aizen habang lumilingon sa paligid at tila hinahanap ang pinanggagalingan ng boses nito,"Hey, Aizen I'm here."

"Nasaan ka ba?"

"Nasa puso mo."

Shit. Ang corny.

Sinabihan niyang lame ang joke ko kahapon pero mas corny naman sya. Eww.

"Bakit ka pulang-pula d'yan, aizen?" Phoenix asked. Aizen's face was red just like a tomato and then he shouted,"Wala!"

"Nasaan kaya si Sue?" Pakamot ulong tanong ni Phoenix sa sarili saka sya humiga sa ilalim ng puno ng slime fruit.

Hinahanap nya ako?

"Phoe-"

"Hay, wala tuloy akong mapagtripan."

Wala pa lang magtripan ha. I zapped the slime tree and the slime fruits started to fall on him. Slime fruit was the food for the pegasus.

"Shit!"

"Sigurado ka ba rito?" I asked Ice. She nodded.

I was holding a snail that we are going to put at Light's coffee. All the members of the Primus Section were present in the cabin. Kausap ni Light ang kambal habang nasa gilid niya kape niya. While Sky was still murdering the earphone and Phoenix was taking a bath.

I was about to put the snail when I saw Light looking at me.

"Sue?" Light quizzically asked. Lahat sila ngayon ay nakatingin sa 'kin.

'Di ba may two hours pa?

"Anong ginagawa mo sue?" Tanong ni Ice na kakapasok lang sa pinto. Napanganga naman ako. Paano nakapunta si Ice roon?

"So, ikaw pala yung nantitrip samin, Sue?" Naiinis na sabi ni Aizelle. Kinakabahan naman akong tumawa at dahan-dahan na humahakbang patalikod.

"What-wait let me explain."

"Ikaw 'yong nagpaulan sa 'kin ng Slime fruit? You're the only blessed child of Zeus here." Tanong ni Phoenix na kakalabas lamang mula sa bathroom at nakatopless pa.

"Ikaw yung nanggaya sa crush ko?" Inis na sabi ni Aizen. Bakit parang nabaliktad ata yung kay Phoenix totoo pero hindi ako ang nantrip sa kambal?

"Tapos pagtitripan mo naman ako ngayon?" Nakakunot noo na tanong ni Light tiningnan ko naman si Ice na nag-kibit balikat.

"Wait-It's not me!"

"No, it's you. I heard your laugh noong nasa kwarto ako." Taas kilay na sabi ni Aizelle. Hindi lang naman ako yung nantrip sa kanila ah.

Wow.

"You're busted, Sue." Sabi ni Phoenix.

Ang bobo ko. Yung "S" sound na sinabi ni Ice ay hindi Sky kundi-

SUE.

Pota.
