Dangerous Muse (ASHLEY 10) ☑

Chapter 5

|Chapter|5|Gun|

How come he's back? Why is he here again?

Kahit na anong pilit kong huwag pansinin ang nakita kanina, ay hindi ko magawa. I know that there's also a possibility that it wasn't Jeremiah who I saw, but I'm not that blind... and someone called him Jeremiah.

Even with the given situation, I still managed to pretend unbothered. Hindi naapektuhan ang pagiging estudyante at leader ko. I was still able to concentrate, listen to our teachers, and made a deal with the Dean. Or so, more like, I just want to think it as that way.

I know I should be glad that our paths haven't crossed that much for how many days now, pero inaamin kong mas lalo akong hindi napapakali.

Why is it harder, if I'm certain that what's happening is better?

"Muse, hindi tayo pwedeng gumawa ng ganitong rules. Imposibleng pumayag ang Dean." Angal ni Jai, ang SSG Vice President.

Hinintay kong may susunod na aangal, at tama nga ako. Majority doesn't like my proposal. The rules I want to implement are not bad, I consider those as fair rules. At pare-parehas lang ang rason nila, impossible raw ang gusto ko. I just want to end the fraternities and other gang groups that have been occurring here inside our school--- dominating.

Marami na kasi akong nakikitang rason para tapusin ito. Maybe, some aren't aware of its existence, and some don't care. Pero iba ako. May mababangga talaga ako, mga 'delikadong tao' raw sabi pa ng mga co-officers ko. I get that they are scared, of course they will feel the fear. So I let them say their complains and concerns, hindi ko sila pinigilan.

Galing din sa mga kilalang pamilya ang mga na-elect bilang officers ng SSG. I don't personally know them, and I'm sure they aren't well informed about my private information as well. Hindi ko sila kaaway, hindi rin kakampi. Sa tuwing may meeting ko lang sila kinakausap, o kung may mga kailangang ayusin na may kinalaman lang din sa school. I'm avoiding to be attached to anyone.

Hindi ko sila pinilit. Hindi sa dahil ang Head representative lang ang sang-ayon sa gusto ko, kung hindi sigurado naman na ako. I already got the approval from our Dean, and I already asked someone to do the rest too. I told them about my plan, but just to inform them, and not because I need their approval. Their comments-- doesn't really matter.

Isaah's out from the country, nagka-emergency daw sa France, his grandfather is dying and he needed to be there, because he's simply one of the heirs. And Lola Purple sent someone else to guard him there. Dahil kahit pa man sa sitwasyon ko, I am still a student, and I still need to report at school... to learn and to be... normal, somehow.

Kaya mas nakakaginhawa ako ngayon. That guy is so irritating. Maliban sa lapitin talaga ito ng gulo, ay mahilig din siyang mangealam sa buhay ko. Being his sort of 'bodyguard' is fine, but he wants more than that...

Kusang tumigil ang mga paa ko nang may maaninag akong bulto, he is sitting on the bench, with a thick book on his hand-- reading it.

Liar. It's not true that our paths haven't crossed much. Yeah right, for these past days, lagi ko siyang naabutan sa lugar na ito, na mag-isa at tahimik na nagbabasa. At kahit alam ko nang makikita ko siya ulit dito ngayon... ay dito parin ako dumaan.

"Gwapo sana kaso ang tahimik."

"Snob siya nu? Sayang talaga."

"Baka bading?"

Tumikhim ako, disturbing the two ladies beside me. Napatingin sila sa akin, they quickly realized who I am base on the changes of their facial expression. Nahihiya at nagmamadaling umalis sila sa tabi ko.
