She Who Dares Wins

Chapter 16

Okay. It's been a hell week for us so we need to chill out. Ly and her so beloved frat members had organized a party, which was a secret (Even LA the asshole doesn't know about this because his dad might get us suspended), at the basement of the Eagles' dorm. I think Ms. President wants to chill din. I mean, she's so so so uptight these days. I mean, sabi niya layuan ko siya, and I actually did in a mean time tapos siya yung lalapit.

I don't understand her. Lalapit pero susungitan lang pala ako. Nakakainis di ba?

Ganito kasi yan.

Flashback

It was Monday. It sucks, doesn't it? At start na ng exam week namin. Nakakaasar lang kasi kakapasok ko pa lang tapos exam na agad. I wonder how will Alyssa answer our exams. She's been cutting classes ever since I came here. Oo, kaklase ko siya pero kadalasan wala siya dahil nasa "office" niya daw at gumagawa ng "office-related" stuff doon. Pag pumapasok naman siya, it's either tulog siya o kaya nakayuko lang dun.

I haven't reviewed pa kasi naman, kahapon, Sunday, after having some not-so-good breakfast with the heads of the Eagles, nagkayayaan kaming gumala around sa school. Hindi rin naman kami makakalabas. Sarado din kasi yung mall so we can't watch new movies. Revillas closed it down. And I saw how suddenly Alyssa's mood changed. Lol, I think it was because of Laura. Ugh, that girl! Grabe, makayakap kay Alyssa! Akala mo sila pa!

Basta nakitambay ako sa mga Eagles noon. So Laura was an eagle too. I think buong myembro ata ng Eagles ang nakasama ko kahapon. They conducted a mini party sa may park at kami lang ang nagkakasayahan doon. I enjoyed Eagle's company tho. It was fun.

So back to the topic, I was walking my way to our room nang bigla akong nagtaka. I stopped in the middle of the hallway dahil wala akong marinig na ingay. Yeah, tahimik kami pag may teachers or pag nag-aaway or debate ang mga frat members pero unusual lang na ang tahimik ngayon. I continued walking at tumigil ako sa may pinto. I searched for the familiar brown eyes pero mukhang aabsent na naman siya. Bahala siya. Kahit siguro siya naman ang may-ari ng school, papatalsikin pa rin siya. Aasa pa ba ako? Imposible.

Umupo ako sa upuan ko. Ang tahimik din ata ni Ella? Anong meron?

"Hey, may babagsak ba agad? Hindi pa start ng exams ah?" Bulong ko kay Ella. She was reading a book. Mukhang alam ko na ang sagot. They were reviewing before the exam. Kaya siguro ang tahimik nila.

"Ganyan talaga. We're reviewing, Den. Sssh ka muna." Sabi niya at saka bumalik ulit sa pagbabasa.

Dahil naiingit ako, kinuha ko nalang ang libro ko at saka nagstart na din magbasa. Pero dahil hindi ako mapakali sa upuan ko dahil wala pa rin si Alyssa Caymo Valdez sa upuan niya, lumingon ako dun, umaasang nandun na siya pero wala pa rin siya dun.

"Good morning, class!" Sabi ni Ms. Charo na nagpatayo sa aming lahat. Ewan ko ba sa mga 'to. Pag may pumapasok na teacher, we're obliged to stand up and greet them. Dapat sabay-sabay pa kaming tumayo ah.

We greeted her back at pinaupo naman niya kami.

"Okay. Hmmm, so this is a first time in Ateneo De La Salle High's history. A student from the lowest section, 11-E, will transfer here on the pilot section. So, Mr. Luis Alfonso Revilla? Come in." Sabi ni Miss Charo.

"What?!" Sigaw ni Ara.

"Thank you sa pagwelcome, pinuno." Sabi ni LA na ngiti-ngiting pumasok sa room namin. What the hell? Bakit siya nandito?!

We heard murmurs around at mukhang ayaw rin nilang nandito si LA. Maging yung mga ka-frat niya na kaklase namin, ayaw din. Lol.

Pero bakit siya andito?! Hindi ko pa siya nagagantihan sa ginawa niya sa akin! Lagot siya sa akin ngayon! Lintik lang ang walang ganti. Bwahahaha.
