Chapter 7

 

 

(Kevin's POV)

It's Friday today so it means Block meeting na naman. Tss. Bakit ba kailangan pang umattend nito? I could spend time with my blockmates without this meeting. Makikita ko na naman si Jersey dito. Darn.

"Okay WX1! We'l have the block officers election today," sabi ni Mam Andrea. Joke lang yung kanina, hindi nako bored sa block meeting! I'l run for the block representative!

"Jey! I'l nominate you for the block rep!" rinig kong sinabi ni Jil kay Jersey. Napangiti naman tong babaeng to. Pati ba naman as block rep contender ko sya?!

"Para mas makilala natin ang isa't isa, you need to tell us your achievements nung highschool. For us to see who are the candidates. Okay?" sabi ni Kuya Marc. May parang twinkle na naman sa mata nung partner ko. Sheesh.

Wait, did I just say "partner"? Scratch that.

Nagsimula na yung kwentuhan ng achievements, by buddy. Mukhang mahirap to ah, ang dami ko pa lang blockmate na former president ng mga student organizations! Sus, mas magaling naman ako sa kanila e! Last pair kami ni Jersey, ako una.

"Uhmm. Nung highschool? Class Valedictorian. Batal ion Commander ako sa CAT namin.

Student Council President for 2 years. Basketbal captain. Math Club President nung first year. Eagle Scout. Debate Champion. Photojournalist for our school paper. Leadership Awardee. SK Chairman." Well, what can I say? Nagbulungan na yung iba naming blockmates, si Ken naman napatingin sakin and said

"Block rep ka na!" Cmon, ako na yan!

  

       

Si Jersey na pala kasunod. "Ako!? Hmmm. I'm the Class Valedictorian. Student Council Secretary for 4 years. Vol eybal team captain. Debate Club President (4thyear), Photography Club President for 3 years. Editor in Chief ng school paper. Adjutant sa CAT. Junior Vice-Mayor nung Town Week namin. Oblation Scholar. That's al , I guess."

We almost have the same interests and achievements! Talagang kinakalaban ako nitong babaeng to ha!

"Ms. Santiago," singit ni Mam Andrea. "By any chance, is Vivien Benitez your mother?"

Nagulat si Jersey dun. "Yes po. Why?"

"Did you know that your mom was the first Lakambini here?" Lakambini? Ano yun? "Ay WX1, this coming September, we wil have the annual Psychosocial. Eto yung battle of the blocks. May mga competition na sasalihan: Dance contest, block photo, debate and the Lakan & Lakambini. Parang Muse & Escort."

"And for the record, palaging nananalo ang CommArts sa Lakan & Lakambini! Title holder kaya ang course nyo for 3 years!" sabi ni Ate Jade.

"So Jersey, pwede ka bang maging Lakambini ng block? I think you're qualified for the spot." SIGE LANG! LAKAMBINI KA NA PARA AKO NA BLOCK REP! Pati yung blockmates ko pinipilit din nila si Jersey. Pumayag ka na kasi!

Medyo alangan pa si Jersey kung papayag sya e. Napatingin pa sya sakin. I smirked.

"Aah. Eh. Sige na nga! Just for fun. and for you guys!" SA WAKAS!

"So that means that we have Jersey as our Lakambini and Kevin as our Lakan,"

nagpalakpan tuloy ang blockmates ko.

Teka. Ano ulilt? AKO?! LAKAN!?

"Mam, si Kevin na naman partner ko?!"

"Mam naman oh! Why me?"

"Di ba partners kayo, and super classmates pa? I think that would be an easy way for you to practice."

"And besides. you look good together naman e!" extra ni Kuya Marc. Ako na naman nakita nila! Well, kung gaganti naman ako kay Jersey, why not gi ve this a try? This is a good way to annoy her. TAMA!

"Okay, I take it. Ako na yung lakan. Okay ba yun sayo, Love?"

Napatingin sakin si Jersey, gulat. "Ha!? Sure ka? O-okay lang. Fine, what am I gonna do?"

PANALO TO. KAWAWA SAKIN TONG BABAENG TO.

"Mam," extra ni Jil . "If that's the case, then it would be better kung sila na rin yung sa Debate. Parehas naman silang debate champions right? Tas they could conceptualize while practicing right?"

Sabay kaming napatingin ni Jersey kay Jil . "HA?! PATI SA DEBATE!?" Ang sama na ng tingin nila samin. Uh oh. This is not good.

"That's a great idea! Ano, okay ba sa inyo yun?"

"Sure, fine by me. Jersey and I could pul it off." Sh!t. Anong sinabi ko?!

"Okay na rin po sakin, basta okay sa kanya." Nakisakay pa tong bwisit!

"So. . that's settled!" PALAKPAKAN NA NAMAN SILANG LAHAT.

ANO TONG PINASOK KO?!

(Jersey's POV)

In the end, si Ken na yung block rep namin. Gusto ko pa naman yung spot na yun! Oh well, I can't change this anymore. If he wants to make my life a living hell, then he'l have some taste of his medicine.

After ng GI, dali-dali akong umalis ng SU. I don't want to talk to him today.

"Hoy Jersey!" Kakasabi ko lang na ayoko syang kausap e! Hindi ko na lang sya nilingon.

Hello!? Ang malas malas ko talaga kahit kelan! Una, buudy ko sya. Then what now? Partner ko sa Lakambini and debate! KILL ME NOW PLES.

"Jersey! Ano ba, tumigil ka naman saglit!"

"Che! Manahimik ka nga dyan! Don't fol ow me, creep!"

"Ako pa ang creep ngayon!" binilisan ko yung paglakad "HOY! Stop, DEVIL WOMAN!"

That made me stop. "What did you just cal me?"

Pa-inosente pa sya. "Devil Woman. Bakit?"

"WHAT THE HELL! DEVIL WOMAN KA DYAN!?" sigaw ko sa kanya.

"OO. Palagi ka kasing aburido e. Lumalabas sungay mo. Tsaka high pitch ka ba talaga magsalita? Parang di babae e. Nakakairita e."

"EH SINO BA NAMANG DI MAAABURIDO SA TULAD MOO! MAHANGIN, MAYABANG!

CONCEITED! AT TAKE NOTE, PARTNER NA NAMAN KITA! ANO BA!"

"MAS MALAS AKO! DEVIL WOMAN ANG PARTNER KO, INSIDE OUT!"

He's pissing me off again! "LEAVE ME ALONE!"

"Ha?" napa-iling sya sa sobrang asar. "Leave you alone? Ayoko nga. A.yo.ko."

"Talagang natutuwa kang asarin ako noh?!"

Lumapit na rin sya and he pinned me to the wal . "May boyfriend ka ba?"

"What kind of question is that?. W ala. Bakit?"

He smiled again, this time mas friendly yung approach. "Kaya naman pala e." And he let me go.

"What's that suppose to mean?!"

"Pag ang babaeng single, tapos hindi pinapansin ng isang gwapong type nya, they have this tendency to be hostile to that guy. Parang may PMS palagi. Symptoms yan ng DWS."

"DWS?! Mga imbento mo!"

"Devil Woman Syndrome. A very rare case na ikaw lang meron. Lagot ka, pag di ka pa nagkaron ng boyfriend bago ka magdebut, you'l be an old maid forever."

"You're so mean, alam mo yun?" Darn, naluluha nako dito. I'm being bul ied!

"See you around, Devil Woman."

(Kevin's POV)

Ang harsh noh? Sus, arte lang naman nya yan. Akala effective! Naglalakad nako pabalik sa dorm nang nagring ang phone ko. "Yosh?"

"Kevin?" I froze. "Are you stil there?"

"Y-yeah. Why?"

"Uuwi ka ngayon dito sa San Pedro, right?"

"Yup. Is there a problem?"

"We need to talk."
