Vagary Demeanor (T.R.A.V.E.L SERIES #4)

Chapter 2

---

It was so boring after that. Walang ganap dahil first day daw. Tapos hindi man lang kami pinalabas ng room.

They should've let us tour this school nalang sana kasi all of us are not familiar with it, for sure.

Nang mag break time ay naglabas na lang ako ng snickers, not planning on going out. Hindi ko alam saan ang canteen.

I just used my phone and put an earphone, ilang minuto lang naman iyon kaya nang pumasok ang isang panibagong teacher ay inalis ko rin agad at tinago ang phone.

Nagpa introduction lang rin ito. I was expecting it to be boring pero it wasn't especially when he suddenly asked us questions!

"What should be the goal of humanity?" Tanong nito.

Walang sumagot kaya nagtaas ako ng kamay, dagdag points.

"Yes?" Sabi nito kaya tumayo ako.

"For me, since there are a lot of humans, the main goal should be having a leader who will not only make the others follow them but will also understand situations and how it works. In that way, humanity can work together, and will be able to succeed at the same time." Sabi ko, napa tango tango naman ito.

I was about to sit when someone raised a hand. I raised a brow when I saw who it was. Lardizabal.

"Yes?" Sabi ni Sir dito. Hindi ako naupo dahil hindi pa naman ako pinapaupo ni Sir.

"The main goal of humanity should be equity. Equality won't be the solution so we should offer opportunities for all that's appropriate on each's situations. I think having a great leader is not enough because the people will only follow them if it'll benefit them, if not, for sure they won't. There are a lot of people indeed, different minds, it's hard to bring them all together. That's why we should focus more on equity for everyone if we want all to succeed." Mahabang sabi nito.

Napakunot noo ako, why is it like he's targeting my answer?! I mean, if he wants to fight for equity, bakit parang dinegrade niya ang sagot ko?

"And to have equity, we have to have a good leader who understands what are the things that need to be done in certain situations." I rebut. Napatingin ito sakin at napataas ang dalawang kilay.

"I didn't say we don't need a great leader Miss, I just added some ideas on your thoughts." Sabi nito kaya napakunot noo ako.

"The way you talked about my idea is degrading." Mataray kong sabi dito.

I looked at him sharply when he suddenly gave a sarcastic laugh.

"Miss, not because I added another thought means I degraded yours, let's just say, there are other better ideas than that." Sabi nito kaya napairap ako. He was just giving a smirk.

"Did I say it's your thought? I'm referring to your tone." Sabi ko dito, napakagat labi naman siya.

"Oh, was it rude?" Mukhang natutuwa ito sa nangyayari kaya napangiwi nalang ako.

"Okay, wait, there's a sudden tension inside the class. You both have your points, different minds but if you connect both your ideas, it'll be powerful." Sabi ng teacher namin na sumingit samin.

Napa buntong hininga nalang ako bago umupo. He's annoying ha.

Pala mura na nga, nang aasar pa. Kainis.

Hindi nalang ako nagsalita pa, nawalan ng gana lalo na nung sinabi ng prof namin na di naman daw graded iyon. Tsk, kala ko pa naman oo!

Sayang effort, god.

When lunch came ay saka lang ako lumabas ng room. I followed the majority of the students here, for sure sa canteen sila pupunta. And I wasn't wrong, doon nga sila.
