CLASS PRESIDENT

"Class, seryosohin niyo ang election na 'to. Malinaw ba?" Agad kaming tumango sa aming adviser at saka siya nagpatuloy sa pagsasalita.

"Nomination for the position of President is now open." Mabilis na nagsitaasan ng kamay ang mga kaklase ko habang ako ay naghihintay lang ng kung sinong iboboto nila.

I don't know my classmates well since the school year just started a week ago.

Well, if I have someone in mind who deserves and fits that position, it will be Zyren.

For the past few days, he was able to handle this chaotic class. Hindi sa pagiging bida-bida, pero sa presensiya niya mismo.

Once he stands in front of the class all of them will be quiet. He just has this intimidating presence. His aura speaks for himself, that he has authority among others.

"Stop staring at me." Wala sa sariling naipikit ko agad ang aking mga mata nang lingunin niya ako.

Aish, I didn't even realized that I was staring at him.

"Ahm... It's just that... I was just—"

"If you can't complete your sentence, then stop speaking." My eyes widened upon his response.

"What the hell did you just say?" I asked hinting that I was annoyed.

"Mr. Zyren Atejero, please come in front." Parehas kaming napatingin sa harapan at hindi na siya nagdalawang isip pa na sundin ang adviser namin.

Let him off the hook, Feina. It's all fine now.

I tried calming myself, but every time I take a glimpse of him I am getting annoyed already. Until he threw a smirk at my direction when he glanced at me.

What the hell is wrong with him?

Apparently, Zyren was elected as the official president of the class. Unfortunately, I was elected as the vice president.

Hindi ko nga alam kung anong naging basehan ng mga kaklase ko para iboto ako.

"At dahil mayroon na kayong class officers, ang unang kailangan niyong gawin ay ang gumawa ng rules sa klase na 'to. I am expecting a lot from you guys. Mr. President and Miss Vice President, I am leaving this class on your hands once I get out from this room." We all nodded at her and headed back to our seats after being called to introduce ourselves.

"If I had used inappropriate terms earlier, I apologize. I am not good in communicating, so I will leave it to you whenever I need to communicate." Napabuntong hininga na lang ako at marahang napatango.

"But you still have to learn how to communicate with other people. You won't have me for our entire high school life here." Kusang napairap ako nang tango lang ang isinagot niya sa akin.

Nang matapos ang lahat ng klase namin ay agad nagpatawag ng meeting si Zyren.

Mostly, class officers hold a meeting after a day or two. Well I guess Zyren is really different from them.

"I am leaving the attendance of the class to you, Miss Secretary." Gaile nodded as she note her tasks.

"When it comes to the collection of money, of course, it will be the task of the auditor and treasurer. I want the auditor to write the full name, the exact date and time, and the amount. We have to let them know that their money is safe. That is why you have to let me or Feina know where did you place and keep the money. Understood, Miss Auditor and Miss Secretary?" Nadia and Lyra nodded. As Zyren continued to assign their tasks with additional reminders, I decided to write all of them.
