•Pran's P.O.V

"Pat! Pat! Ai Pat!" Paghahabol ko sa kanya habang ang bilis nyang makalabas.

At nang maabutan ko, tumambad ang nakasimangot nyang mukha.

"Can you just calm down? We already settled it inside" and now I have to settle this thing to him.

"Pran, alam mong ganito ang magiging reaksyon ko. I just don't like it" He carefully speak in a well controlled tone.

"Ao na! (Come on), just be with it. As if we have a choice. At least I deal something in your part" mahinahon kong sabi habang hinahabol ang bawat paggalaw ng ulo nya.

"How 'bout you and you're friends? Nadamay lang naman kayo sa gulo" he give that concerned look. I sigh.

"I'll explain it to them. Don't overthink, it's just a project." I'll let him know it's fine. Alam kong hindi nya gustong naibubuntong sa iba yong mga dapat sya ang humaharap.

Kahit naman ako ay naiinis sa sinabi ng supervisor samin kanina sa loob. Ano bang akala nya, matutuwa pa kami?

"Can you now please tell us what is it?"

"Okay! Here's the thing.. I believe that you guys didn't start the fight. I'm not a fool, and I can tell it from the video they've just edited for me to watch. Hindi tugma ang mga rason nila."

Biglang pagbawi ng supervisor samin na kung kanina lang ay halos kami ang sinisisi sa lahat.

"What!?"

"I know you guys are not at fault" dugtong nya na may liwanag na ekspresyon sa mukha.

Now we are confused.

"Then why did you acted like that earlier? Alam nyo naman ho pala" Pat said who move its body forward.

"Calm down. I can explain"

We are waiting for it.

"Anak ng school's director ang isa sa mga nakaaway ninyo. Yung kaharap nyo lang kanina, at una nilang na e report ang pangyayari. He has connections here sa school. do you guys get it?"

Pat looks so pissed off hearing these. I mean, who wouldn't?

"So what, sir? Sana naging patas manlang kayo at hindi nyo pinaboran yung mga 'yon. Napaka unfair naman ho non" he aggressively talk back na syang nagpausog sakin papunta sa kanya.

"Kalma lang Pat, we can talk this out" tsaka naman nya niluwagan ang paghinga.

"Sir, we don't deserve the punishment you just gave to us." I said in a lower voice trying to influence Pat's manner.

"You still don't get it. Those group are too much to handle. And they ask me to include another punishment para sa inyo."

"So you mean you can just deal it with us so easily?" I said as I also couldn't hold my temper.

"Okay! Naiintindihan ko ang mga reaksyon nyo. But just for you guys to know, marami nading teachers and profs ang nagrereklamo sa mga gulong nasasangkutan nyo dati. Good thing ito lang naibigay ko"

Napatahimik kami nito.

"Also, I chose to give you this punishment 'cause I know you can do better" He said.

"What do you mean?"

"The school receives a lot of compliments regarding don sa bus stop project na nagawa nyo dati. Remember? Also, I know that you two presented the idea to some specific company brand that's why you got the sponsorship for the making of it. That's why... I intend you to be responsible for this project. 'Cause I know you can do it."
