Chapter 18
"Mommy, ayoko na po mag-aral, mag-aartista nalang po ako!" I groaned habang nagta-tantrums sa bleachers ng covered court. "Bakit ba kasi di nalang ako sinali ni Mommy sa Goin' Bulilit?!"
"Attitude ka kasi nung bata ka, beh," Val said.
Inirapan ko siya. "Paano ka pa?"
"Aba, bastos 'to ah!"
"Huy, tumigil na nga kayo," Santana interjected. "Tapos niyo na ba yung portfolio sa Contemporary?"
"Ito na nga po," Valerie said bago ituloy yung pag-glue niya ng quiz sa colored paper. Ako naman, tinatapos yung paper for Piling Larangan.
Never pa ako nag-cram nang ganito kalala since birth! Nakakaloka po! I feel like na-scam ako when they said that SSG would be fun—oo fun nga pero they didn't mention the part that I'll get my priority list mixed up!
"Tara na, teh. Magpa-cute ka kay Sir Tomas, ah!"
Nagpa-cute nalang talaga ako kay Sir when we submitted our portfolios. Buti nalang talaga ang ganda ko. Eme!
"You're going home na agad, Santana?"
"Ah, hindi pa. May training pa kami sa cheerleading, e," she said that made my forehead crease.
"Cheerleader ka?" Valerie asked, baffled.
"Oo... kinuwento ko sa inyo diba?"
I covered my mouth. "Oh, my gosh. Yeah, I totally forgot! Good for you, girl!" I said and gave her a round of applause. Santana sighed and then we make beso-beso before we part ways.
Valerie and I headed straight to the SSG office.
Okay lang sana if I was just worrying about my peta and lectures pero hindi! I'm at school past our uwian time, preparing for the celebration of Teacher's Day.
Oops, wait lang! Baka ma-cancel na naman ako, ah?!
All I'm saying is that, I'm taking back all my hanash sa mga SSG officers before na puchu-puchu lang yung pa-celeb. Well, at least for me.
"Vice President," Ms. Arellano called.
"Thank you po, Ma'am!" I said as I received my royal blue polo shirt.
We figured kasi na we should have a uniform for the event tomorrow. It was practical din naman kasi we could use it in future SSG projects.
'Great leaders don't tell you what to do, they show you how it's done –Alessandro Berselli,' sabi ng quote at the back.
Yung shirts lang yung agenda talaga namin for today so we kinda went home earlier. Nag-warning na rin kasi si Ma'am na we're gonna get worn out bukas so better get a full sleep tonight.

The next day rolled in. I wore the SSG shirt and paired it with my high-waisted Zara jeans and limited edition sneakers dahil the rumors are true—isa akong Zara bitch!
"Christmas party, girl?" bungad ni Valerie.
I rolled my eyes. "Minsan lang maka-outfit sa school, 'no!"
Buti nalang talaga ang artsy ng shirt design ni Bjorn kaya ang sarap sa mata tingnan.
"Happy teacher's day, Ma'am!" I said sabay beso kay Mrs. Ocampo, ang pinaka-magandang Grade 12 adviser ko! Eme!
"Salamat, 'nak," she said when I gave her Ferrero Rocher.
It's like my tradition kasi na bigyan ng T.5 box ng Ferrero lahat ng current teachers ko every celebration. Simpleng pa-thank you nalang rin, right? It's just a small gesture but they appreciate it big-time!
