The Warden Doll

Chapter 20

It's up to you whether it's a good news or not

Expel? Mae-expel ako? Weird, I shouldn't be bothered by this. I mean, ain't this a good chance for me to get out of this disgusting academy? But somehow the thought of not talking to Rowena and Jean saddens me. I mean, to be honest I had fun, it's like despite that this school is screaming "ranking matters" and "money matters", thrill is walking around on every inch of this academy's hallway. Kung bet mong may gustong bugbugin, mang-hablot ka lang d'yan sa tabi-tabi then viola! Just invite this lucky person to a duello! Then viola again! You're already legally calm and satisfied.

But besides from that, most of the time I had fun with Jean and Rowena, kahit madalas silang mag-away. Now, do I really want to get expelled or not?

"Pwede ka nang pumasok." Natigil ako sa malalim kong pag-iisip nang may malalim na boses akong narinig sa gilid ko. Napalingon ako rito at nakitang si Elliot 'to pero bago pa uli ako makapag-salita ay umalis na 'to. Problema no'n? Bagsak ang balikat na pumasok tuloy ako sa detention room.

"Have a sit, Miss Parker." Sabi ng dean at umupo naman ako sa tapat ni Papa. "We'll discuss the consequences of your reckless actions." Sabi nito nang makaupo ako. 

"With four critical injuries you inflicted to the four students, one is broken nose and ribs, one is broken skull, one is broken arm, and the most gruesome you did is to stab someone with the use of the handle of a mop." Sabi nito tinignan ako ng mariin. "Plus damaging the property of the academy." Napaayos naman ako ng upo at hindi makapaniwalang tinignan s'ya.

"What? I don't remember damaging any property!"

"The mirror, the door cubicle, and the mop." My lips formed into 'o' when I realized I did damaged a property. Muli akong napasandal sa upuan nang ma-realized 'yon. "With the said special treatment from an anonymous person, you will only receive a punishment that is on level 3. Do you understand what's going on here Miss Parker? You're supposed to be expelled but someone said to just let it pass." Napatingin ako sa pinto na nilabasan ni Elliot, s'ya ba kumausap sa dean?

"You're dismissed." Nabaling naman ang atensyon ko sa dean nang muli itong magsalita. "You too Mr. Parker." Dagdag nito at sabay naman kaming tumayo ni Papa at umalis do'n.

"Pa, anong nangyari?" Kunot noong tanong ko. "I accidentally heard you guys earlier na dapat mae-expell ako katulad ng sinabi nu'ng dean."

"I told you I'll handle it." Nakangising sabi ni Papa dahilan para mapailing ako.

"No, I'm sure that guy did something." Kunot noong sabi ko. "Ano sinabi n'ya?"

"I won't tell you since it's confidential, kaya nga sinabi na 'anonymous'." Sabi nito at bahagya akong kinutusan. "Ilibot mo naman ako rito, mukang maganda mga pasilidad nila ah?"

"Malamang, kita mo 'yan?" Turo ko sa isang vase na mukang mamahalin na nadaanan namin sa hallway. "Nakawin lang siguro natin 'yan magiging marangya na tayo eh." Pagbibiro ko dahilan para matawa kaming dalawa.

Nilibot ko s'ya sa buong school habang kinu-kwento sa kan'ya ang mga nangyayari sa'kin dito sa loob ng academy, he was even proud of me when he heard that I got into fight legally. Welp wala eh, tatay ko 'yan, sa kan'ya ata ako nag-mana. Katulad ko natuwa rin s'ya sa naging patakaran ng eskuwela na pwedeng makipag-rambulan through legal matters.

Nai-kwento ko rin sa kan'ya sila Jean at Rowena, pati na rin ang buong central at ang pangarap kong talunin ang taong na sa first seat ng academy, which is practically our deal but it already became a dream to me tay I personally want to reach, nang medyo natuwa ako sa laban namin ni Elliot. I told him everything except the fact that I can't use my command anymore. I don't know if it's out of embarrassment but all I want is I don't want to talk about it to anyone, ni hindi ko nga alam ang naging dahilan ba't nagkaganito eh. I just hope that this is temporary, I don't want to live like this.
