I am Killer Machine

Chapter I

I am Pamela Deguzman, 16 years old at nasa 1st year na ng college. I have always dreamt of designing and making my own car. Ako ang youngest of my 7 siblings. I have 3 older brothers and 3 older sisters. They have been very supportive of me. Since we live an average life, I decided to enroll in AIC dahil sa magandang reputation nila when it comes to automobile courses despite the fact they have delinquent students.

Half of my stay in the school have been very peaceful and happy but then everything changed when the 2nd term started..

"hey! Transfer student, gusto ka raw kausapin ni miss President." Sabi ni Toya sa bagong estudyante na si Paul, nasa likod lang ako ni Toya.

Paul just transferred in the middle of the 2nd term, may mga usapang kumakalat na na expel siya sa previous school niya dahil may mga rumors na malapit ng mamatay ang mga binubugbog niya. But whenever I look at him I can't see any trace of violence in his face. Napaka inosente ng kanyang mukha, yun bang hindi makabasag pingggan. I am a little bit concerned though na kahit 2 weeks na mula nung nag transfer siya, wala pa siya ni isang kaibigan. He never approaches anyone. It seems like he is building a big wall so no one can get to him.

Every 2nd term of each year may ginaganap na car showcase representing each schools. We never won any award on the said event, pero hindi naman namin dinidibdib kung wala kaming award na makukuha. The important thing is we're having fun, especially me since I can do what I love the most.

I always see to it that everyone have their own assigned task and make sure that everybody is having fun.

"Paul, may gagawin kaming car for the upcoming car showcase, I hope you can help us since everyone would really appreciate it if you can join." Sabi ko.

I have been trying my best to approach Paul in any way I can to help him get to know everyone. Alam kong masama ang tingin ng mga tao sa school namin, but if they'll just give us a chance they will know how beautiful the school is, especially it's students.

Tahimik lang si Paul.

Silent treatment na naman? Hindi kaya mapanis ang laway ng taong to at hindi naman siya pipi kasi he was able to introduce himself sa class.

"Hala! Cige ka kapag hindi ka nagsasalita mapapanis ang laway mo. Wala pa namang gamot jan" Sabi ko.

(Tumayo si Paul at naglakad palabas)

Lagot napikon ata. Paano na ang plano kong isama siya sa paggawa namin ng kotse. I need to convince him.

"Wait Paul!! AHHH.." (Natapilok at nadapa face first) Bakit ngayon pa umandar ang pagka lampa ko. Kainis! Hindi pa talaga gentleman. Hindi man lang ako tinilungan.

"Pano bayan miss Pres, hindi naman umubra ang convincing power mo. Why don't you just leave him alone already? Yun din naman ang gusto nia diba? He doesn't want to join us guys, with our bad reputation in a jail school"Sabi ni Toya at umiling.

"Pres nasasaktan kaming makita kang nahihirapan dahil sa pagka-persistent mo. Kung ayaw niyang sumama sa atin wag mo nang pili.. ah, saan nay un? She's not here. Ang tigas talaga ng ulo" Sabi ni Gabby, pero malayo na ako.

I may be the only girl in the school but I think about life in jail school as fun. Gusto ko din sanang ma-experience niya ang feeling nay un. Being alone is so sad...

(chirp chirp rustle)

He's sleeping, bakit siya dito sa likod ng campus natutulog at ang bilis niyang matulog ahh... Bago ko lang bga siya hinabol. Pero in fairness ngayon ko lang siyang nakitang hindi nakakunot ang noo niya.
