Sweetest Rebellion

Chapter 25

Kahit na Wednesday ngayon ay nanatili ako sa bahay dahil wala rin naman kaming klase. Puro sporting events ang nagaganap ngayon at walang game ang CFM both students and professors categories.

Kasali ako sa CFM women's taekwondo team at bukas pa ang semis ko against College of Computing and Technology. My first game was against CEA noong monday. Kapag nanalo naman ako tomorrow ay sa thursday ang finals and I will be going against whoever wins between CLASW and College of Surgery and Medicine.

"Aren't you going to school?" Ate Rue asked, making her way to the vacant space sa paanan ko.

"Sport Fest lang, Ate. I'm resting, may taekwondo match ako bukas."

Nakadapa ako sa couch habang nanunuod ng The Amazing World of Gumball. As usual, nakaharap man si Ate Rue sa TV ay may libro pa rin itong hawak at doon nakatuon ang atensyon niya.

"Don't you have work today, Ate?" tanong ko nang maalalang weekdays pala ngayon

"Meron, but nagpaalam ako kina Mom. I'm set to meet a lawyer today." aniya

"Lawyer, for what?" Kung si Ate Rocky ang nagsabi niyan ay maiintindihan ko pa. Sa Lawyer ko kasi iyon inaasar eh.

"Business but I have no idea as to what it is for. I actually don't wanna go but Moms sent me there, hindi raw pwedeng ibang tao." she explained

"Can I come?" I realized I'd be bored here once she leaves.

"No. Don't worry, I asked Isla to come pick you up here, sa office ka na niya mag stay." What?!

I mean, I have nothing against it but sa ginagawa niya ay para namang baby sitter ko si Ma'am. Nakakahiya kaya ang ginagawa nilang pag-utos utos sakanya.

"No, I'm fine, Ate. I'll just go to Revmont and see if I can get some works done with Avon's assistance."

Yes, I like having Professor Thomas around but not to this extent. Nakakaabala na iyon sa trabaho niya. I can visit her whenever I want naman, hindi iyong hihingiin pang pabor nina Ate ang mga ganito.

"I think she's on her way. But okay, I'll try calling her to tell her she doesn't have to come."

Mabuti nalang at ang pinakamadaling kausap na kapatid ko ang narito. Kung ang ibang ate ko ay malamang sa malamang tinukso lang ako.

Just as Ate Rue was about to call her, Hera approached us, informing us that Professor Thomas had just arrived.

"Oh, just tell her yourself. Nandiyan na pala." ani Ate

Professor Thomas walked in through the main door with her signature blank face and authoritarian aura.

"Why'd you call, Ruelle?" Direktang tanong nito kay Ate habang ipinapakita ang screen ng phone nito na may missed call ni Ate Rue.

"I was just about to tell you na huwag ka nang tumuloy. Reagan will just go to Revmont nalang daw." Lumipat naman ang tingin nilang pareho saakin.

I flashed her a sincere grin before giving her a small, bashful wave. She is dressed in her customary chiffon long sleeve and loose black trouser pants, which she paired with black stilettos.

"I'll leave you two here, I still have to get ready for my meeting." paalam ni Ate na pareho naming tinanguan ni Ma'am

Pinanuod ko naman ang kapatid na umakyat patungo sa silid nito at nang hindi na ito abot ng tingin ko ay saka ako humarap kay Ma'am. With a playful smile, I walked closer to her.

"Tu es beau! Désolée si c'est un peu trop direct, mais tu es juste trop magnifique pour que je me taise."

I made an unintentional compliment to her in French, and I'm not sure if she was able to comprehend what I said, but I have no intention of repeating myself. As a compensation, I gave her a lovely grin.
