I was wondering about a lot of things the entire time hanggang sa makabalik kami dito sa Royal Building. My co-elites were eerily silent about what is happening. Alam kong nag-aalala sila, but whenever I try to open up a conversation, wala sila sa sarili nila. And when I try to look into their eyes, they would avert their gaze onto something else.
I don't want to get the wrong idea, but it seems like there's something off here.
Pero bakit?
Barbs was sent to the SAOSAMMC. Stonewell's hospital is pretty decent, but I can sense that it is also the safest choice to avoid controversy. Dr. Mercado had talked to the producers and refuse to let anyone know what happened, especially outsiders. After all, pangalan ng Stonewell ang nakasalalay.
All elite schools have critics, and I am well aware that Stonewell's rating is the highest in the Philippines, third worldwide. Ni minsan ay hindi ko pa nabalitaang naungusan ito maging ng Eulogia.
Stonewell is just perfect, ideal, incomparable, which is a good thing. But you see, there's always a secret behind every success.
"Hay! Ang tahimik, pa-icebreaker naman tayo diyan!" Larry finally broke the awkward silence. Nakahalumbaba ito sa coffee table at nakaupo sa gray carpet.
Karamihan sa amin ay nandito sa lounge area. Dr. Mercado told us to gather here, nag-aantay pa kami ng announcement mula sa kanya. Debby, Zack, Kaith, which is is the Student Council Secretary and Jade, which is the Public Relations Officer was also handling the situation.
Nakuha ni Larry ang atensyon ng iilan, naudlot rin yung pagkatulala ng iba. "Oh please, ano nanamang kalokohan yan." Maxine rolled her eyes.
Larry just sighed, he gave Maxine a bored look. "Oh please." panggagaya pa nito kay Maxine.
Maxine looked liked she wanted to rip Larry's face pero pinigilan siya ni Max.
"Don't worry Maxine, my pal here won't do something stupid like risking someone's safety." Josh had this still expression on his face, yung tono ng pananalita niya ay hindi naman nagpapahiwatig ng kung ano ngunit iba ang sinasabi ng mga mata niya.
"Oh wow. How sure are you?" Maxine raised a brow, humalukipkip ito at ngumisi ng sarkastiko.
"Hey, kumalma nga kayo, icebreaker lang naman ang pinag-uusapan ah." Pag-awat ni Houston sa kanila, he let out a small chuckle, but I can sense that he didn't mean it.
"How about I break your face?" Pabalang na sagot ni Maxine. Houston looked annoyed with her responses, it was evident in his face ngunit hindi na lamang ito nagsalita.
I shifted uncomfortably in my seat, I didn't expect that I'd get to witness this kind of scenario. Wala akong ideya kung ano ang nangyayari, but I can easily tell if something's wrong. They wouldn't act this weird kung wala namang rason.
Questions started to form in my head, gusto kong magtanong kina Sie but they also seem off. Nakayuko lang si Fam, Sie was zoning out and Ky was just playing with her fingers. Mukhang ayaw nilang makipag-usap.
