RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII IIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING!

BAM!

I punched the alarm clock again. Then I hide the broken clock at my drawer before my mother comes. Then I saw someone opens the door.

Mom: Good morning, dear.

Me: Morning

Mom: You better get up now, the bus is coming in 6:30.

Me: Ok.

I went up secretly to the attic to see Bridget and 9. (Actually, Bridget is now sleep in the attic. She didn't mind about is what she said.)

Me: Hey, Bridget. Wake up.

Bridget: *sits up and yawns quietly* Is it 5 already.

Me: Yeah, we better suit him up now.

Bridget: I just hope it fits him.

Me: Of course. I actually chose that design, though.

Bridget: I didn't see it because I was helping Lauren to do those broaches.

Me: It's okay. *shows the uniform* Did I screw up in choosing?

I show her a hooded cloak that has the color of a fully grown lily pad in the water, it was good, but unfortunately the bottom was burned and looked ripped because of Leo's tantrums again. But I don't mind if it burns really bad, I think it makes it better now.

Bridget: I don't think so.

Me: Thanks to Leo to make the design better. How's the broach?

Bridget: I was going to ask you, though.

Then she showed me the broach, it's like it has three leaves and it has Bridget's Comet Mark shaped gem in the middle (Bridget's comet mark has a swirly tail with green raindrops combined into one big ball. Well, you know what I mean.)

Me: It looks great.

Bridget: *smiles*

Me: I better take a bath now. Suit him up.

Bridget: Ok.

I went to my room. I turned on the music on the radio, it's playing Anak (Child) now. I went to the bathroom while the music played to make me go faster.

Noong isilang ka sa mundong ito
Laking tuwa ng magulang mo
At ang kamay nila ang iyong ilaw

After I finished my bath, I went out of the bathroom and rubbed my hair while I walked to my bedroom.

At ang nanay at tatay mo'y
Di malaman ang gagawin
Minamasdan pati pagtulog mo

I saw my mother in the kitchen, making our breakfast. Fried egg, bread and hot creamy coffee, our favorites.

At sa gabi'y napupuyat ang iyong nanay
Sa pagtimpla ng gatas mo
At sa umaga nama'y kalong ka
Ng iyong amang tuwang-tuwa sa iyo

At last I went to my bedroom. I noticed that my uniform was prepared already. I smiled. I wear my uniform and my necktie. After that I took my two star necklace and the Aries necklace. I wear it under my uniform so no one can see it, even my mother.

Ngayon nga ay malaki ka na
Nais mo'y maging malaya
Di man sila payag
Walang magagawa
Ikaw nga ay biglang nagbago
Naging matigas ang iyong ulo

I went downstairs and see my mother watching T.V news.

Mom: They say the storm is almost gone, but you still have to carry your umbrella. It still possible to be rainy today.

Me: Okay.

Mom: Now eat your breakfast.

Me: Ok and mom, can I go commute?

Mom: No.

Me: But -

Mom: No buts. I don't want you to get some accidents.

At ang payo nila'y sinuway mo
Di mo man lang inisip na
Ang kanilang ginagawa'y para sa iyo
Pagkat ang nais mo'y
Masunod ang layaw mo
Di mo sila pinapansin

I went up the attic again and see Bridget in her school uniform. 9 is now wearing the uniform while the broach is glowing. I wonder why.

Me: Bridget, why's 9's broach glowing.

Bridget: He's invisible.

Me: I'm still seeing him.

Bridget: ...Look in the mirror

I went to the mirror and see only Bridget. I look at my back again and saw Bridget with 9, I was confused. I look to the mirror for the second time. I finally get it now.

Bridget: Only the group and us could see the characters.

Me: Man, she is genius.

Nagdaan pa ang mga araw
At ang landas mo'y naligaw
Ikaw ay nalulong sa masamang bisyo
At ang una mong nilapitan
Ang iyong inang lumuluha
At ang tanong,"anak, ba't ka nagkaganyan"
At ang iyong mga mata'y biglang lumuha ng di mo napapansin

Bridget: What did she say to you?

Me: We can't commute for a while now. Gezz.

Bridget: Don't worry, that's how mother's do.

Me: Oh really?

Bridget: Yeah.

Me: I hope she would now.

Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali
Nagsisisi at sa isip mo'y
Nalaman mong ika'y nagkamali...

We went downstairs with 9, still invisible though. We eat until the school bus, we went out. When we got on the school bus, the conductor almost slam 9 by the door good thing everyone is still asleep though.

Now where are the others?
