LABYRINTH ACADEMY (2022 REVISED VERSION)

CHAPTER THREE

CHAPTER 3

TWAYLEM
Nang mag bukas ang kulay gold na pintuan na akala mo pintuan sa palasyo. I was pretty amaze. Yayamanin talaga dito. To my surprise, an old man was waiting for me. Parang siya 'yung owner ng KFC. Puting puti na ang buhok. He's wearing a suit and tie. And with a weird creepy smile on his face? Goosebumps. Pero, ano pa bang dapat kong i-expect sa school na 'to?

Everything is crazy here.

"Come in. Bliss Twaylem Gonzales, I believe you're Sebastian's daughter, right?" Sinasabi ko na nga ba kasali sa kulto ang amahin ko.

"Tea from London or Italian Coffee?" He asked while he was reading my files. "Sparkling water," I demanded. Pinag masdan ko ang loob ng Gold Room. Laban laban ang mga crystal chandelier, napapalibutan ng mga books and stuff. It has a Victorian vibe kaya akala mo nasa palasyo ka. The furnitures are antique mukhang luma pero mamahalin.

"Have you seen the rules here in LA?" his voice is quite intimidating. "Nope,"

He handed me a file and I saw all the requirements,

"I don't get it. Anong sense ng eskwelahan na 'to kung puro riot?"

"Students are free here. No guidance office, no kick outs.. no suspensions. Ayaw niyo 'yon, freedom?" Palakad lakad ito habang sinasabi ang mga kailangan kong gawin.

"Hindi mangmang ang mga nag aaral dito. Maaring pangit ang reputation ng L.A but we assure you na lalabas ka dito na marami kang natutunan." Sabay ngiti nito sa akin. Nag sindi ito ng tabaco naubo ako sa usok na ibinuga nito. "Ayaw mob a 'non?"

"Maliban sa pagiging barumbado, I don't believe na may matutunan ako. So, I will not buy it."

"You will see," sabay upo niya ulit sa kanyang upuan at muling binasa mga files ko. "By the way, Miss Gonzales."

"You can do everything you want here, except for one thing.." binaba niya ang kanyang salamin sa may tip ng kanyang ilong, then he smirked at me.

"Falling in love is strictly prohibited."

"The fuck?" ngumiti lang ito sa akin. "Anong klaseng rule 'yan? I never imagine dating someone from here. So no, thanks."

Tumayo na ako sa kinaupuan ko, baka hindi ako makapag timpi at mabastos ko pa ng tuluyan si KFC.

"ROOM 777, black section." Tumayo na ako at lumabas na ng Gold room.

"Welcome to Labyrinth Academy, I hope you will enjoy your stay here. As much as Sebastian did." What? Nag aral dito si Daddy? Pero, hindi ko maintindihan despite the fact that this school has a bad reputation sobrang successful ni daddy?
