TGC League of Gangsters

Chapter 31: The Murdered Teacher

-Mikhaela Alcantara Garcia’s POV-

Today, I was extra early kaya mas-maaga pa akong nagising kesa kay Murder, he was still asleep kaya naghanda na agad ako at lumabas na. I’m taking my breakfast on the Cafeteria, dapat sapat ang energy ko para ngayong araw, parami ng parami kasi ang mga estudyanteng gusto kami makalaban ngayon, and I’m not sure who spread it and why they wanted to fight our Gang.
Nagmadali na rin akong kumain sa cafeteria dahil umagang-umaga palang ay naka-atang na ang mga estudyante sa presensya namin, it’s like all of them have heard about this.
My Gang was waiting outside the Cafeteria at hinihintay ako.
“Sino daw ang mauuna?” I asked.
“The Unknown Demons,” shane replied. Unknown Demons? Their name sounds unpleasant.
“Wooh. Creepy.” Komento ni Evelyn.
“Who are they?” tanong ko.
“I don’t know, their Gang seemed to be very quiet. Their gaining on the ranks too, they’ve defeated The Demon Kings.” Sabi ni Shane. Natalo nila ang Demon Kings? So they’re willing to fight the Alpha Rage Gang next? Good luck nalang para kay Adrien, I hope he wins.
“What’s their weak spot?” I asked.
“Uh, I couldn’t find any…” Shane replied.
“Seriously? Holy water ata ang kinakakatakutan nila.” Pambabara ni Abby.
“Eris, how can you say na Holy water ang kinakatakutan nila?” Tanong ni Shane kay Abby.
“Because they’re demons?” natawa naman si Evelyn. What’s so funny about that?
Bago pa man kami makalayo sa posisyon namin ay may tatlong babae na agad ang naghihintay sa harapan namin. They were wearing all black, pati na rin ang mga buhok nilang tatlo, itim, their lipstick at Eyeshadow- Gothic style, inshort.
“Hey there, The Queens.” Sabi ng nasa gitna.
“Oh Hey, There! You must be The Unknown Demons?” nakangiting tanong ni Evelyn.
“Yes.” Sabay nilang sagot. Napalunok naman ako. Damn! Nakakatakot ang style nila! I’m not really good at monsters, ghosts and especially GOTHIC! It’s so creepy!
Naramdaman ko naman ang pagpatong ng kamay ni Abby sa balikat ko.
Right, mga babae lang sila, I should focus on winning this fight right away, baka mapahiya pa ang Gang namin, at hindi naman ako papayag na mangyare yun, I wont let them down.
“I’m Lupa. The Apex.” Sabi ng nasa gitna. The Apex? The Leader? Obvious naman.
“I’m Kedeas. The Middle.” Sabi ng babae sa kaliwa.
“And I’m Uriel. The Base.” Sabi ng nasa kanan. So they use measurement to call the stages of themselves? How rare.
“And we’re The Queens. We don’t measure ourselves, meet Our Queen, the monarch, the duchess and  the reyna. Basta, ano mang synonymous sa Queen ay okay na.” Sabi ni Evelyn.
“You must be the Reaper, The Heart. You talk way too much.” Sabi ni Uriel,
“ugh. How dare you say that.”
“Just to say, Hearts cant think. Ikaw ang magdadala sa Gang mo patungo sa maling daan. And your Queen- she wont do anything but command her slaves, hindi ba, Hemera?” sabi ni kedeas kay Shane. What the hell? That’s not what I do!
“That’s not true. Why don’t we start the fight now at ng mapunta na kayo sa Impyerno?” Umasto si Shane.
“Impyerno? We we’re made in there.” Uriel said.
“So where do you wanna fight? Sa paraiso?” Abby said. Natawa naman muli si Evelyn.
“M-mas mainam kung sa simbahan tayo maglalaban, HAHAHHA” tawa ni Evelyn.
I rolled my eyeballs.
“Rrghh. They’re even b*tchier than we thought!” Gigil na sigaw ni Kedeas.
“They’re strong. Track.” Malamig na sabi ni Lupa. Nakunot ang aking noo ng tumakbo silang tatlo palayo.
Eh? That fight was about t begin!
“Awh! Balls!” Evelyn pouted.
“Let’s chase them!” sabi ni Abby at hinarangan ko naman ito gamit ang aking kamay.
“Let them be.” I said. Nagpout naman silang tatlo na para bang pinabayaan ko lang na makatakas ang mga paborito nilang aso.
“Bogus!” Shane stomped her foot on the ground at napa-crossed arms.
“Kung takot silang kalabanin tayo, then let them be. Don’t let their feeling confidence higher, or else lalaban sila at wala naman din silang mapapala.” Sabi ko.
“*sigh* The Queen’s right. Sayang pa naman, nagdala sana ako ng krus.” Sabi ni Evelyn at naglabas ng isang kwentas na may wooden cross na pendant. What the hell?
“Ito na ata ang makakatalo sakanila eh.” She added.
“And the Holy Water? Nasaan?” Abby asked.
“nandun pa kay Uncle peter.” Evelyn sighed.
“Eris. Luna. Keep it down. This isn’t the time for religious jokes.” Sabi ni Shane. We were already surrounded by students.
We split the crowd at nilagpasan lang ang mga estudyante, we waited for a Gang na hahamon saamin but no one dared going near us hanggang tumunog na ang Bell para sa first period, and yes, we skipped the assembly and homeroom para maghintay sa mga hinayupak na gusto ‘RAW’ makipaglaban, BUT NONE OF THEM ARRIVED! Nakakapa-kulo ng dguo!
“Uh, Queen, alam mo ba kung saan ang kwarto ni Cj?” Evelyn asked out of the Blue.
“Why? Kayo na ba?” tanong ko.
“What-!? Uh, ofcourse not! Cj and I are just friends, besides, he’s inlove with Trisha Gonzaga, I’m way too small compared to her, Di’ba?” pangiti ngiti nitong sagot.
“Trisha Gonzaga? Isn’t she an artist na di mahilig sa mga lalake? Cj got no chance for her, atsaka, hindi naman pwedeng lumapit ang basura na yun kay Trisha, her body guards will murder him if ever he does.” Sabi ko. Imposible rin namang hindi nagkagusto si Evelyn kay Cj, after all of these years getting along with him?
“Yeah! That makes a huge sense, but- isang Gangster si Trisha.” Biglang sabi ni Evelyn kaya nakunot ang noo ko. Trisha Gonzaga- ?! is a gangster?!
“Yup. It’s true that she finished her Elementary years and Middle High years on a Private-All-Girls school, pero hindi mo lang ata alam na naglayas si Trisha sa residence ng Gonzaga- and do you know where she is right now?”
“Let me guess, nandito sya?” hula ko.
“Yup! She’s in a Gang of 10 members, tapos lahat sila ay babae, her Gangmates are the ones who protect her from the abuse of men kasi nga, she’s really famous, plus she’s beautiful at morena, It was the first reason why Cj is inlove with her. Now, gets mo na?” dada ni Evelyn.
“Why does she even have to school in here anyway? Kung alam nya naman na mababangis na lobo ang mga lalake, she would absolutely wish that she was never born.” Kibit balikat kong saad.
“Kasi nga, she love being a Gangster. Most of her films are more about Gangsters and action stuffs, but still, bagohan lang sya.” Sabi ni Evelyn.
“Baguhan lang? then you can defeat her easily.” I said.
Nasa harap na kami ng pinto ng classroom namin, Evelyn opened the door at sinalubong ang mga kaklase namin.
“Queen, I cant defeat her, just like what I said, mataas sya kompara saakin.” Sabi ni Evelyn.
“mataas? You’re not that short.” Komento ko. Evelyn made a face.
“That’s not what I meant by ‘mataas’. Her position is higher than mine, I may be a daughter of the fling of the dead vice mayor, but she’s the daughter of the Vice President, her mom is Alexa Gonzaga and her other family members are dang rich!” Bulalas ni Evelyn at may nalalaman pang pasabunot sa sarili nitong buhok.
“Evelyn, Popularity is useless, all of us maybe living equally or unequal, but we’re all equal as human beings. Differences do matter, but don’t take it too serious.” I said.
“Hayysss. You’re right. Popularity is useless. But your-”
Bago pa man matapos ni Evelyn ang sasabihin niya ay may tumama na nanilakumos na papel sa ulo nya.
Biglang natahimik agad ang room and only a guy was left laughing, the guy noticed na natihimik ang room kaya natahimik rin agad ito.
Evelyn picked the Crumpled paper at hinarap ang aming mga kaklase.
“Who threw this?” seryosong tanong ni Evelyn. Tinignan nya lang ang mga kaklase namin and all of them seemed to have their own businesses at wala ata ang may pakay na umamin.
I kicked the papers on the floor at umupo na agad sa aking upuan, Oh boy, looks like someone is getting a Body-full bruises pretty early in the moring.
“Who, Threw this!?!” sigaw ni Evelyn. Her voice was in a very pitchy tone and it echoed around the room. Biglang bumukas ang pinto at pumasok ang isang guro.
Even the teacher was terrified in the tension of the room.
“Uh, A-ano ang nangyare dito?” tanong ng Guro.
“Shut up, You worthless character. Umupo ka at panoorin ang mga estudyante mong nag yoyosi at nagpapatayan.” Utos ni Evelyn sa guro. The Teacher made no expression at hindi gumalawa sa posisyon nito. Worthless character? Wow, looks like she lost her manners.
Nagulat ako ng husto when a familiar looking guy just stood up at dumaan sa gitna ng room.
WHAT THE HELL?!!?
Pati si Evelyn rin ay Nagulat sa presensya nya.
“Keep it down, Blondie.”
He patted evelyn’s left shoulder at lumabas ng room.
WHAT THE F*CK IS NATE DOING HERE?!?!?!
Naramdaman ko ang pag lamig ng aking mga palad at mga paa, what is he doing here, what is he doing here, what is he doing here?!
Evelyn was spaced out at binigyan ako ng titig, but she inhaled at hinarap muli ang klase.
“If ever malaman ko kung sinong basura ang nagtapon rin ng basura, Good luck, you wont ever see the sun rise tomorrow.” Malamig na sabi ni Evelyn and went to her own seat.
Kumalma na ang klase and the teacher started chatting infront of the class.
“I’m your new Adviser, your previous adviser- Mrs. Alcantraz had passed away due to severe illness, ako na ang papalit sakanya. My name is Alex Juniper, 28 years old, at dito ako nag-graduate, yes, I have graduated and suffered the crisis of the students in this University for several years, I joined three forces of Military war, I gained several awards as a fighter- Oo, makailan na ako naging fighter and I never experienced losing on such fight. 110 are the number of my murders. I hope this class will get along with me just fine.” Saad ng guro.
No one made a sound after what he said. Nagbibiro ba sya?
Atsaka, si Nate ba talaga ang nakita ko kanina?! Or kambal nya!?
No, nate had no twin o kahit isang kapatid man lang,- AghHHh! Mababaliw na ako, where did he went!?
Tumayo ako at susundan na sana si Nate ng biglang tinawag ako ng Guro.
“You, shouldn’t you raise your hand before you stood up?” saad ng Guro. AccKk!
“Seriously?”
“No one does that, Alex.”
“Uhm,-” my sentence was cut kaya wala akong nasabi, umupo nalang agad ako.
“Ah, Looks like all of you here are out of control. Well lucky you, ako ang mag-didisiplina sainyo.” Sabi ng Guro. He folded the arms of his Blazer at tumayo sa harapan namin.
“God. Anong akala mo, sino ka ba?”
“This oldman got some Bullsh*t.”
“Ipaparehas nanaman natin sya kay Sir Jacob.”
“Sir Jacob? Si Jacob Villegas? He was one of my classmates on the last year of my college.” The Teacher Explained.
“Yeah, who cares tho.” Pambabara ng isa pa naming kaklase. Nakunot ang noo ko ng naglabas ng isang itim na duct tape si sir. He cut a several inch pf it using his teeth at lumapit sa sumagot na estudyante.
The teacher held both of the student’s hand at Nagulat kami ng tinaplak ng guro ang tape sa bibig ng babae. WHAT THE HELL?!
Sir cut another piece of duct tape at itinali ito sa kamay ng estudyante.
“You believe that the sentence ‘lalagyan ko ‘yan ng duct tape and bunganga mo’ is a myth? Well lucky you, because myths can be true.” Pasimpleng sabi ng Guro.
Natawa ang aming mga kaklase and the student started wiggling around in the chair. Sinubukan nitong hilahin ang duct tape by pushing both of it’s hand away from each other, o tanggalin man ang makapal na tape sa bunganga nito, but none of it worked.
GOD! The tape looks so thick! Siguro ay napakasakit nyan kapag tanggalin!
“Anyone want some tape too?” tanong ng Guro.
None of us made a sound. Napansin ko rin na walang tao ang aking likuran, where the hell is James?
“and yeah, Jacob was one of my dumbass classmate, sya ang laging ina-api namin, inuutusan namin, we blame him, a lot. Until he changed, nag bagong buhay sya, he passed the college years ahead of us at naging guro rin sya dito, But- hindi parin nagbago, he was still bullied and tricked by the students whom he was teaching, till then, last month, There were students who tried to sneak on and murder him dahil hndi niya pinapasa ang mga estudyante nya, They failed, but, Jacob himself commited suicide, it’s not the students who killed him, sya mismo ang nagpakamatay.”
