Her Final Bullet

Chapter 1

Bullied By Him

We are heading towards the main gate of Herism Academy. The driveway was too long before you can actually get inside the campus. No one can be seen walking around because I'm sure everyone has their own car.

Matataas ang mga pader na bumabakod sa buong eskwelahan. Siguradong kung sino man ang magngangahas na akyatin iyon, hindi magtatagumpay. This school is really secured because we went through car inspection at the entrance of the driveway with five security guards monitoring the area.

"I.D. lang po, ma'am," sabi ng guard na nasa gilid ng manual boom gate.

Alice fully pressed down the window and we showed our I.Ds. After that, the guard nodded and motioned his hand to let us proceed inside.

Nang makapasok sa gate, tumambad sa amin ang malawak na man-made river. We are crossing the bridge and I can't help but mesmerize by the body of water. Hindi ko masukat sa tingin ang lawak at haba nito dahil mukhang nakapaikot ito sa paligid ng school. If that was only for aesthetic purposes, I can tell how rich the owner of Herism for making it happen.

"All of the students here are powerful. They are from a wealthy and influential family but their attitudes are worst. Ang iba rito ay kick out sa mga former schools nila, so expect the wars and troubles here," Alice informed while we are on the way to our classroom.

Maingay at magulo sa room nang pumasok kami. Lahat ng mga magkakabarkada ay may kaniya-kaniyang mundo. This is not the kind of school that I used to attend back in New York. I was in a prestigious high school with strict rules and guidelines. Palaging nasusunod ang kaayusan ng buong school doon kaya palagi akong napaparusahan dahil sa iba't ibang kaso ng paglabag.

Masamang tingin ang sumasalubong sa amin habang naghahanap kami ng mauupuan. Hindi kami kumibo sa kanila. Naupo kaming apat sa last row at narinig ko pa ang hagikhikan ng ilan. I gritted my teeth. Anong nakakatawa?

Jinx patted my shoulder and gave me a smirk. Inirapan ko lang siya. Napansin yata niya ang masamang tingin ko sa mga tumatawa.

Dumating na lang ang teacher, hindi pa rin tumatahimik ang klase. Kung hindi lang nilakasan ng teacher ang boses nito, hindi sila titigil.

"Oh! May mga naggagandahan pala tayong transferees!" masiglang pagpansin ng guro sa amin. "May I invite you four here in front to introduce yourselves?" malumanay na tanong nito .

Naglingunan ang lahat sa amin. We, again, are the center of attention. Naunang tumayo si Megan kaya sumunod na rin kami. We confidently walked on the aisle and stood straight in front of the class.

"Before you introduce yourselves, I am Mr. Tuazon. I'm your Math teacher." He smiles and extends his hand in front of Jinx since she's just beside him.

Tinanggap ni Jinx iyon at nakipagkamay, and so we.

Nagsimula kay Alice ang introduction.

"I'm Alice Carnelian."

"Jinx Humburgs."

"Megan Brooklyn."

At nagtapos sa akin.

"I'm Alora Steppingstone."

Bumalot ang matinding katahimikan na binasag din ni Sir Tuazon. "Magaling! Girls, you are all welcome here in Herism Academy!" he energetically said.

Maayos na ang lahat at babalik na sana kami sa upuan nang biglang bumukas ang pinto. Malakas na ingay ang nagawa no'n. Iniluwa ng pintuan ang apat na aroganteng lalaki. They passed by in front of us without approaching the teacher. Tuwid pa ang kanilang tindig na para bang hindi big deal ang pagka-late. The whole class stayed quiet as these assholes walked on the aisle until they reached the back seats. Sunod naming natunghayan ang pagliparan ng mga bag namin sa likurang pader. Nanlaki ang mga mata ko habang pinapanood silang umupo roon sa upuan namin pagkatapos.
