Prologue

"It's with a heavy heart to inform you that Bailey Ceralde will not be finishing his term to serve as your SSG President, effective immediately."

Umingay. Everyone was nagbu-bulungan and para akong na-estatwa trying to process everything na sinabi ng SSG Adviser namin.

"Debbie, okay ka lang?" I heard Santana ask.

"Bigla nalang nawala si Bailey tapos ayaw pang sabihin ng admin kung bakit, paano siya magiging okay?" Val replied.

"With all that being said, may I call on our SSG Vice President to join me on the stage," pagpapatuloy ni Mrs. Arellano.

Everyone's eyes were suddenly latched on me.

Hindi ako maka-galaw. I was trying so hard not to break down. If someone has to be the strongest right now, ako 'yun. Hindi nila pwedeng makita na mahina ako.

"Debbie, tawag ka na sa harap," bulong ni Santana, nudging me to stand up.

Dahan-dahan akong tumayo, preparing for the worst. Mabigat 'yung pakiramdam kong naglakad to the stage.

Kasalanan 'to ni Bailey.

He left all of his responsibilities then disappeared. Wala man lang pasabi. Wala man lang formal exchange of goodbyes. Nakakainis.

"Starting today until the school year ends, Debbie Lofranco will be the acting SSG President," Mrs. Arellano continued. "The next few weeks will be tough so let's all work together to succeed," sabi pa niya before commanding them na pumalakpak.

Para akong nahirapan maka-hinga...

I just wanted one thing for my final year in high school—to graduate with flying colors and pass the UPCAT.

Never in my wildest dreams had I thought that it would include becoming the man.
