Write Me A Lovestory

Chapter 4: Mr. White

Bleu's POV

"Does anyone here know what characteristics a writer should possess?" Mr. White asked the class.

Nagtaas ng kamay ang isa kong kaklase. She's Amber, the top in our class.

"Writers should be excellent in the words they're writing. It should be the best. Writers should be their best in writing. There should be no space for mistakes." She answered confidently.

I looked at Mr. White. He seems unsatisfied to Amber's answer.

I raised my hand.

"Writers should be good."
I answered.

Some just laugh at my answer and some did not mind at all.

"And your point is? Ms. Castillo?" Mr. White asked me a smile on his face.

"Writers should not be the best in the field. Writers should be good also."

Amber stood up and faced me with disgust in her face, "Excuse me, Castillo? Your answer is non-sense! Writers should be the best!"

"Ms. Thomas sit down!"
Sigaw ng prof namin. Umupo naman si Amber pero nakatingin parin sa akin na magkasalubong ang kilay. Ayaw niya kasi ng salungat sa kanya. I mean, gusto niya lahat sumasangayon sa kanya.

"You maybe the best in writing and the expert in words but that's not enought to consider yourself a good writer. A writer must be good... a writer must possess ettiquetes, a writer must have manners in writing, writers must have values in their write-ups, writers should consider the feelings of the people involve in your topic, a writet must be considerate. My point here Mr. White is, Writers should not be just the best in writing but also a good individual. It takes that two recipes to completely produce a good writer." And I sat down, Amber is looking at me fiercely while Mr. White is looking at me with amusement as well as the others who has their attention on me.

"Very good, Ms. Castillo."

I smiled at him.

"Yes, she's right. A writers should not just be an expert but a great individual too. And a great individual is someone who has manners. You will not be an effective writer if you'll offend some readers.....
.."

And the discussion continues.

"Okay class you're dismissed!"

Isa isang naglabasan ang mga kaklase ko. Ng malapit na ako sa may pinto ay tinawag ako ni Mr. White. I still feel awkward when calling him Mr. White because of Grei.

"Yes sir?"

"You know Ms. Castillo, you're good."

"Thank you, Sir."
I humbly said.

"And because of that, you should consider taking your internship in our Publication House. I'm choosing three students from TIS, and you're one of them." May ari nga pala si Mr. White ng isang Publication House. The White Paper ang pangalan. It's one of the best here in U.S. They provide good news and scoops everyday kaya naman i so shocked to hear his proposal.

"Ohmygod. Really, Sir? Great. I would definitely accept it. Thank you so much, Sir."

"You deserve it."
He smiled at me and left the room.

"One carbonara and a burger please. O
and fresh milk. Thank you." Sabi ko sa cashier dito sa cafeteria. Inabot naman niya sa akin kaagad and order ko.

Unfortunately, wala ng upuan. Wala ng vacant seat.

Mukhang wala akong choice kundi mag lunch sa 'estrel'. Para siyang garden na malawak. Dito kadalasan tumatambay ang mga walang klase.
