CHAPTER ELEVEN
AKALA ko pa naman hindi na tutunog 'yang bwisit na intercom na 'yan. Ugh! I just want a morning without that sound. I hate that voice and the repetitive words it says. I hate mornings in general.
I slowly went to the bathroom to prepare myself. After the Ball, ngayon na lang ulit kami makakapasok sa klase. How I missed my normal everyday routine. Mornings without worrying about the physical torture or the five lapse jog around the oval.
Once I'm prepared, I went down to the dining hall still sleepy. Ako na lang ang hinihintay pagdating ko ro'n.
"Kung kailan wala tayong training saka ka mukhang pagod na pagod diyan," puna ni Mafi.
"Mahanap ko lang kung sinong nagpapatunog ng intercom na 'yan, malilintikan siya sa'kin," irita kong sabi habang nagsasandok ng kanin.
"Suit yourself because you are still the class president even if you're sleepy." Ugh! I hate obligations! Whoever invented that word, I might go after him and kill him again even if he's already dead.
After that boring breakfast, Kingston took all our attention. He have something to announce. I don't like his announcements. They all seemed to be bad news.
"The Headmaster wants us to eat together at break times. We have a separate table at the cafeteria." See? There's no such thing as good news when he have something to announce.
"Ano ba 'yan sawang-sawa na ako sa mga pagmumukha n'yo eh," reklamo ni Felicity.
"Oo nga eh. Sawang-sawa na nga kaming pakisamahan ka," sarkastiko kong sagot. She rolled her eyes on me. What a brat.
"Hindi n'yo nga ako pinakikisamahan nang maayos," reklamo niya. Hindi na ako sumagot at nginisian na lang siya bago tumayo. Agad namang sumunod sa akin si Mafi.
While walking along the corridor, everyone's murmuring about us. Dati, noong mga simpleng Superior lang kami, pinangingilagan na kami. Ngayon na mga players na kami, lalo silang dumidistansya sa amin. Do we have some contagious disease? I don't know people's logic these days.
"Do you miss attending classes?" Tanong ni Mafi. She's always been so enthusiastic which is the exact opposite of me. Napahikab muna ako bago sumagot.
"Not really. I might just gonna sleep at the classroom," sagot ko. Wala akong gana sa lahat.
"Sure, sleepyhead. Huwag ka lang magpapahuli."
The class was in a disarray when we entered. Everyone looked at us like we're aliens. Ugh! These stupid students never fails to make my head hurt. I glared at them and I saw how they looked back at me with fear written on their faces. Napahawak ako sa ulo ko. Mafi held my shoulder, trying to calm me down.
"Don't throw the table, please," she whispered before leaving me in the doorway. She sat on her seat like an obedient child she always is.
"Who told you you can throw papers here and there?" I asked in a low menacing voice. Agad nilang pinulot ang mga kalat sa lapag at nagsibalik sa kani-kaniyang upuan.
"Arrange your chairs. Quick!" Mafi commanded in a matter of urgency. Hindi naman sila magkandaugagang ayusin ang mga upuan nila. They are so afraid of me because the last time I got mad at them, I threw the teacher's table and some unlucky students got hit with it and were brought to the infirmary. Well, it didn't went well with me too because I endured a whole hour of my father's lectures.
The class went on as normal. This is my kind of a normal day except the frown that doesn't left my face. Antok na antok ako buong klase. My mind is still on my bed and I can't digest the lessons our teachers discussed. Hindi rin naman ako makatulog dahil hindi pa nakakaalis 'yong isa naming teacher, nandyan na 'yong para sa susunod naming subject.
