"Sir 'di nga ako yun, ang kulit mo nam-"
"Miss Sadie I'm the counselor, get your filthy mouth some manners." He look like a tiger ready to gnaw me, he adjust his glasses and necktie. And suddenly change his gloomy mood when he turn his gaze towards the basketball team, actually not the whole basketball team. I mean this was just an incident of me being accused as a 'thief' by some members of the them.
Thief my ass.
Well napunta ang away namin dito sa guidance, willing ko namang ibalik ko naman yung isang libo sa kanila eh! Pero 'di ako um-oo na ako yung kumuha, bakit ko aaminin eh 'di ko naman talaga kinuha!
I shut my mouth, but I continue to curse them in my mind.
Halatang halata namang pinapaboran ng counselor ang basketball team. Equal judgement my ass. I roll my eyes inside my mind, because I can't afford to face another punishment to a another 'crime' that I did not commit in the first place.
"I know how depressing this to you Mr. Tomio, I assure you that we'll take the fastest actio--"
"No this is not depressing for me, I can't just accept the fact that someone is taking money from me. I'm just disappointed, she could've approach me for money-"
"No! I told you I didn't steal anything!-"
"Miss Sadie! Community service for a month!" The couselor announced with a dramatic bang on the table.
Napaawang naman ako ng bibig habang nagpipigil ng tawa si Trey at Lucas.
Ha? Gago 1 month?
"Luh sir, okay ka lang po ba? May traba-"
"Miss Sadie that's final, we'll discuss it tomorrow, for now you're dismissed. " He remain his stoic face when talking to me, I can't help to gasp in exasperation when he abruptly change his cold gaze to adoring stare when he's talking to the boys.
Mas lalong nasira ang mukha ko ng makitang nagtatawanan at nagbubulungan si Trey at Lucas. While Tomio o the other side keep his composed look.
Batuhin ko kaya 'tong dalawang 'to ng mesa
"Sorry for the nuisance brought by this young lady, we're thinking on the additional charges to this matter. gtfdchjuyvhjgwaasgwapo niyo talaga." The counselor explained.
Nanindig naman ang balahibo ko sa narinig, yuck talaga 'to. Ganito kasi yung sitting arrangement namin, bali naka-upo ako sa tabi ni Mis-Sir, Sir counselor at nasa harap naman namin ang tatlong lalaki, Lucas at the right, Trey in the left, and obviously Tomio at the middle. Mga muntanga. Kaya 'di nila napansin o narinig yung binulong ni Sir.
Pero..
Wala naman kasi akong ninanakaw!
Bakit ba sila naninisi?
"You can now leave Miss Sadie." Madiin na sabi ni Sir counselor ng makitang 'di pa rin ako gumagalaw sa kinauupuan ko, at binigyan ako ng tinging umalis-ka-na-nga-ina-neto-tagal-umalis.
Napabuntong hininga nalang ako sa sobrang stress, pera na nga naging community service pa, wala naman talaga akong kinukuha eh. Wala akong ninanakawan na kahit sino, period.
Nagsimula na akong ayusin ang gamit ko para lumabas na ng office.
Well, I guess I don't have a choice but to do all of this.
