Chronicles of HIRAWEI: The Owl Phases

Chapter 15

Chapter 15: Miserable at Best

I felt the burden upon me.

The professor was discussing what subjects she handles. She's our English & History for this school year.

I really do think that since this school is out of the ordinary, we will just be taking tests and skills subjects. But, my thoughts prove me wrong. Of course, there will be minor subjects just like any other educational institution out there.

"So, for the enlightenment of our transferee. I supposed, you are Ms. Morgana Simmons right?" the professor called my name. She beamingly smiled.

I straightened in my seat. Here we go again. "Yes, ma'am."

"Nice to meet you, dear, I am Lorna Proteus and I already said what will be my task here. But aside from that, you will be much seeing me around the campus." She said.

Yes, my grandmother is our professor now. Just wow! Who could have thought that she teaches? I wouldn't on my behalf. Sad to say that everything was hidden right in front of me. Lahat na lng pinagkait sa akin ang katotohanan.

The class was interrupted when Earl suddenly raise his hand. "Prof, isn't ate Morgana your granddaughter?"

An invisible facepalm act in my thoughts. I rolled my eyes in disbelief.

Tumawa lang ang professor. "Yes my dear, pero within school premises we're thought to be professional. Everyone is fair."

I didn't look her eye to eye. In fact, I'm avoiding her gaze. Upset? Maybe. Mad? Maybe.

"Are you alright?" Harry whispered diverting my thoughts.

"Y-yeah," I said with half baked smile.

"Everything will be fine." While he said tapping my shoulder. I just smiled bitterly.

"Oh right! Class, before I forgot, the lesson proper will resume next week. As you all know, the assembly is going on and our department is busy handling the upcoming acquaintance." My classmates gushed with their excitement.

"Settle down. So, enjoy the rest of the week. But for now, directly go to the hall for the assembly. I'll meet you there." She landed her sight on me as if telling me she will talk to me later. She then leaves the room by walking towards the door.

"Let's go?" Harry said.

"Hermano, I want to be alone for a while." I said bitterly. "Pupunta na muna ako ng C.R tapos susunod na lng ako."

His worried face plastered again. "Are you sure? Hindi mo pa kabisado ang buong lugar dito baka mawala ka-"

"Is Sangster & Cuthbert around?" A man in his 30s said while opening the door.

"Coach?" Jerson & Harry said in unison.

"Let's go. The team is ready." He said.

Tinignan naman ako ulit ni Harry na parang nag dadalawang isip. "Pumunta ka na, okay lang ako." ngumiti ako na nagsasabi na kaya ko mag-isa.

"Molly, alam ko yung mga ganito mo. Hindi kita pwede iwan lalo na ngayon." Hinawakan niya ang kamay ko.

Hindi na talaga to nakikinig. Kaya lumakad ako papunta sa direksyon ng tinatawag na coach nila at sumunod naman siya.

"Hello sir, mawalang-galang lng po. Pwede po ba pakikuha itong naliligaw na bata na kung makalingkis sa kamay ay parang linta? May balak pa yata na hindi sumama sa inyo. Kaya, para sa ikakabuti ng lahat paki-claim po." sabi ko.
