Chapter Nineteen - IV
Beleaguering Hearts|Freya|
Argh! I hate Mondays! Bukod sa nabitin ako sa school detox ko and beauty rest... The two old principals of the elementary and high school department ate up the announcements as if they were having a state of the nation address. Kairita! Exposed na naman ang kagandahan ko sa mga unworthy people!
"That will be all." Finally! Tumalikod na kami para maglakad na palapit sa exit. Mabuti na lang malapit kaming mga Grade 10 sa exit kaya lagi kami ang unang nakakalabas ng gym.
"Corinthians and Galatians, all of you will remain." Principal Mercy added.
What the hell?! We all stopped and looked back at the stage. Narinig ko ang mga reklamo ng classmates ko, some of them remained silent and go back at our line.
"Siguro dahil toh sa drugs." Rinig kong kumento ng ibang grade levels while they're exiting the gym.
"Nagkagulo sila nung sabado men, kalupit." Kumento pa ng isa.
"Rinig mo mga rumors na nireveal ni Queen H? Grabe yon!"
"Oo nirecord pa namin ah."
"Grabe mag-away mga Grade 10."
Napairap ako sa mga pinagsasasabi nila. That's the power of my Joker card. What can I do? It's too powerful.
"Nakita ko post ni Queen H sa blue web hindi naman daw niya boses yung narinig natin noong Sabado."
"Omg, so may copycat si Queen H?"
COPYCAT?! Ako?! What the hell. I just used her identity! It's part of the joker card! These uneducated bishes got my blood boiling. Copycat? Hmph! As if!
Hinintay naming maubos ang ibang mga estudyante na napapatingin pa sa amin, then we stepped forward near the stage and lined up properly. Nasa tabi namin ang Galatians but they are few meters away from us. Obviously, may bad blood pa kami sa isa't-isa.
The principal started to scold us. She told us that we are supposed to be suspended for the whole week. Pero nakiusap lang daw mga advisers namin sa kanya at saka may exams pa kasi kami sa Thursday and Friday for our 2nd Quarter test kaya hindi na lang daw suspension ang matatanggap namin.
"As punishment, you will be cleaning the abandoned building during the first week of your mini sem break. We will be contacting your parents about this matter. And your advisers will let you reflect on this, that will be all. Go to your classes now." Our principal sounded so disappointed about us. But I don't care about the section I am in, I only care about ME.
Pero wait... community service sa abandoned building?! During the 1st week of our 2 weeks vacation from school? Damn it!
But... it's fine, all this frustration is worth it. Bakit? Syempre nabawian ko lahat ng taong kinaiinisan ko in one blow. Hindi naman ako maglilinis 'no! Never! Aattend lang ako at uutusan ang mga underlings ko. Duh!
Hindi nahinto ang paglecture sa amin dahil pinagalitan din kami ni Ms. Mara. But she's the type of person who kept it cool. Saglit lang yon, pero pinagreflect niya kami by writing.
I didn't pass anything. Why would I? Am I sorry for what I did? No. Did I hurt someone? Hindi. Nakatayo lang ako sa hallway at tumatawa noon, habang ang lahat ay nagkakasakitan. Do I have to reflect on that? Duh! No way.
During lunch time, Ms. Mara called me to her office at the faculty room. Labag man sa loob ko, pero pumunta pa rin ako kasi adviser ko pa rin siya. Mamaya ipatawag niya parents ko tapos both sila pumunta dito, baka magkagulo pa eh hiwalay na yung dalawa at di pa nagkikita since. Tsk. What a complicated life.
