The rule breaker
Everyone is excited about the up coming visitation. Usap-usapan sa bawat sulok ng eskwelahan ang mangyayari bukas.
Bawat isa ay nagpaplano na sa kung ano ang gagawin nila. Some are even saying about making outs. Stupid people who don't care to read the rules. Like now.
I was walking on the corridor of the school when I heard a conversation of both 9th grade student.
"Sa gym locker dude, walang nagpupunta don. Magbantay ka, okay." Napataas ang kilay ko. Nakapamulsa akong lumapit sa kanila. Nasa likod lang nila ang bulletin board kung saan ko nilagay ang lists of rules kahapon.
"Read." Mukhang di naman nila alam kung ano ang tinutukoy ko. Marahas ko siyang pinaharap sa likod nito. He looked at the rules at malakas itong binasa.
"Great, you can read like a 2nd grade level." I sarcastically said.
"And? You're the Secretary but you can't make me obey your orders." Naningkit ang mata ko. May balak atang magmatigas ang isang 'to.
"Paano kita susundin kung pati ikaw di kayang sundin ang SSG President?" Well, everyone know how I treat Caius. I'm stubborn lalo na pagdating sa kanya. I was about to burst out when someone butt in.
"Choose Mr. Ruesco, I'm gonna throw you out of here right now or obey my Secretary." Caius interrupted.
Mukhang natauhan naman ang estudyante at agad yumuko. He said sorry at umalis kasama ang kasama nito. Gagi, pinapapili 'tos umalis. Tsk.
Binalingan ko ng matalim na tingin si Caius. He just shrugged at me saka nilagpasan na ako. I rolled my eyes at sumunod sa kanya.
Pareho ng daang tinatahak nito ang daan kung saan ang room ko.
Naging mabilis ang oras ng klase at 'di ko namalayang uwian na rin. Niligpit ko ang gamit ko saka naglakad na palabas. Pagkalabas na pagkalabas ko ay si Caius ang unang bumungad sa akin.
He stopped ng makita ako. Mukhang papauwi na rin siya. Nauna akong bumitaw ng tingin at naglakad. Sumunod naman ito sa paglalakad ko.
Tahimik kami habang naglalakad sa corridor. Marami-raming estudyante ang nakakasama namin sa paglakakad.
"Who's he?" He suddenly asked. Nalaman ko na agad kung sino ang tinutukoy nito. 'Di siya nagtanong simula nung encounter na 'yon. But I know he has a clue.
"Kris." I simply answered.
"Oh? I didn't thought you had an ex. You have a big secret na akala ko ako lang ang nakakaalam, except you're family and Ziah." Mahabang lintaya nito.
"Well, he used to be a friend, and a lover. I can't just keep that secret to him." I said. He shrugged. Nanatili naman kaming tahimik hanggang sa makarating sa dorm.
Pareho kaming pasalampak na umupo sa couch.
"Don't do any stupid things tomorrow Elli. If you don't want to break your own rules." He suddenly said. I looked at him with full of curiousity but he stood up and walked away. Ipinagkibit balikat ko na lang ang sinabi nito.
The tomorrow came. We're going to welcome the girls. Lahat ay nasa grass field at naghihintay din. It's 6:45am in the morning. 7:00am pa daw ang dating ng mga ito. But since everyone is excited ay andito sila sa grass field. Except me.
Nasa isa ako sa mga building at tinatanaw sila dito sa second floor. Nakita ko na ang ibang officers. The Vice President is also there. Inaasikaso nito ang iba pang nasa mababang level grade na nagkakagulo na rin.
Nasabi ko na bang junior high school students lang ang meron sa school na 'to? Well, it is. Karamihan sa SSG officers ay nasa 4th year.
I can't spot Caius. Nauna siya sa akin magpunta dito. Pero kanina ko pa siya 'di nakikita. Not that I'm looking for him.
The other faculty teachers ay nasa grass field din and minding their own business. Some are observing.
The Principal acknowledge the arrival of the Girls when their cars are spotted. Bumaba na rin ako at naglakad sa dagat ng estudyate sa grass field. But unlike the others, nasa gate kami ng iba pang officers. Kasama ang iba pang teachers and the Principal.
Nagkakamayan ang Principal ng school namin at ang school ng Girls. The officers of the Girls School ay nakipagkilala rin sa amin.
'Di ko alam kung saan si Caius. A girl stood infront of me. Well, she's tall but I'm a bit taller than her. A bit.
Mataray itong tumingin sa akin. I emotionlessly looked back at her.
"Where's the President?" She asked.
"In behalf of the absence of the President, I'm Ishan McRace, the Vice President." Sabat ni Vice na nasa tabi ko. 'Di ko rin naman alam kung saan si Caius.
Iminuwestra ni Vice ang kamay nito for a shake hands. 'Di mo iisiping bakla siya dahil sa postura nito sa ngayon. Even I can fall for him kung 'di ko lang alam na bakla siya.
Tinanggap ng babae ang kamay nito at nakipag-shake hands sa kanya.
"Shakira Fourger, the President. Nice to meet you." Malambing na pagpapakilala nito. Hilaw na napangiti si Vice sa kanya at binawi ang kamay.
Mahina akong natawa. He really look so disgusted but he kept his posture.
Natapos ang pag-welcome echos sa mga Girls. Nakipagkilala ang bawat isa. They enjoy it. Specially the boys. They're enjoying entertaining the girls.
Other officers are observing at nagroronda rin. Binabantayan nila ang kilos ng bawat estudyante. Wala namang kung anong nangyayari. Lahat ay maayos.
The boys are touring the Girls around the school. Ang iba ay may kanya kanya na ding grupo. They're taking selfies. Nagkekwentuhan. Kumakain. Naglalaro sa grass field.
While I'm here. Nasa loob ng CCTV monitors. It's so boring. Kasama ko si Vice kanina but he excused himself na mag-ccr lang para maghugas ng kamay. He can't get over about the shake hands that he had kanina.
I am enjoying my chips while watching on the CCTV monitors when I saw someone.
He's standing there habang nakapamulsa. Nasa loob siya ng conference hall. I didn't mind it at first but somone entered on the conference hall. A girl. And it's not just a girl. She's the President.
She walked towards him ang clung her arm around his neck and kissed him.
Freaking Caius.
I got up on my seat at naglakad palabas sa CCTV monitor room. Naabutan ko si Vice na mukhang kakagaling lang sa CR. He asked me where am I going pero 'di ko na siya sinagot.
Naglalakad ako sa corridor papuntang confirence hall. And when I got there I saw them talking inside.
I realize why am I there in the first place. Napairap ako sa sariling kagagawan. Aalis na sana ako ng makita ako ni Caius. He just looked at me at binalik ang tingin sa kausap.
I turned my back on them and was about to walk away. Di pa man ako tuluyang nakakalayo ng maunahan ako nung Yvonna sa paglalakad. Mukhang inis itong lumabas dahil mabigat ang bawat hakbang niya.
My body just moved and I grabbed her arm and cornered her sa likod ng confirence hall.
"What the hell is your problem?" She said pero ng makita ang mukha ko ay ngumisi ito.
"Oh, Mr. Davis am I right? The Secretary." 'Di ko ito sinagot. "I didn't know that you have something for me. Well, you're pretty handsome so I consider you."
Without a second thought. I kissed her. She looked shock at first but eventually respond. I entered her mouth and licked her lips. I pulled out saka napatakit sa bunganga ko. She smiled at me.
Humakbang ako paatras at tumakbo palayo sa kanya.
'Di ko alam kung saan pupunta. Ano ba 'yung ginawa ko!? Nahihibang na talaga ako.
But one thing I know. I just want to take the kiss she got with Caius. And that's the only thing I knew para mabawi 'yon.
Zephyr.
