Our Love Story

Chapter 14: Selos nanaman?

Naomi.

Umupo na ako sa upuan sa tabi ni Cheska. Dumating na ang prof namin. Sumunod na din si Ashton. Teka, Ashton? Tinignan niya ako pero umiwas naman din siya ng tingin. Tinignan ko naman sa likuran at nakitang si Jaxxen ay ngumingisi. Gago, trip ba ako nito o ano? Binalewala ko nalang yun at tumingin na sa prof.

"Good afternoon class. So, bukas meron tayong event sa school. Yung mga transferees parang di pa to nila alam. Old students, do you remember the event?" Event? Wait.

Ah! Natandaan ko na! Yung event na maraming booths at iba iba pa. Photobooth, Yung parang mag confess na booth, Small cafe!

"So, sino?"

I raised my hand.

"Ms. Diaz? What's the event?"

Tumayo ako sa front.

"Yung event bukas is all about booths and more. In a class, the teacher will group you into pairs or in three. May coincidences din na mangyayare minsan na ang kapartner mo is from another section. Pero ang maganda dito is representatives lang. I think two or three pairs or groups lang. Kung ayaw mo sumali, diretso Principal's office. Kung sasali ka, may plus yung grade mo to all subjects. The group or the pair will provide the materials but the school will provide the tents and other na kailangan idecorate natin. I'll give some examples, photobooth, small cafè, yung parang love booth and etc. The theme will be provided by the teacher. May papel tapos bubunot kayo. Kapag hindi yun ang mangyayare, sasabihin niya lang kung anong theme niyo. Yun lang. Did you guys follow me from the start?" Everyone nodded.

"Great job Ms. Diaz. Now, go back to your seat." Bumalik naman ako sa tabi ni Cheska.

"Grabe yung speech ah."

Tumawa nalang ako. Tumingin naman ako sa likod. Walang reaksyon si Ashton. Binalik ko nalang tingin ko kay prof.

"So, you guys... I will just pair... three groups. Ngayon na kayo bibili ng materials. Bukas na yung event." We nodded.

"So... Ms. Montavella and... Mr. Yllian."

"Puta. Sa dinami daming tao siya pa." Inis na sabi ni Cheska.

"Okay lang yan Ches, I feel you."

"As I call your names, please come infront." Tumayo si Cheska at Jaxxen. Pumunta sila sa front.

"Next... Ms. Santiago and... Mr. Cruz." Tumayo naman sila at pumunta sa front.

"Lastly... Ms. Diaz and..." Teka, ako?!

"And Mr. Rodriguez." What the...

Tumayo naman kaming dalawa ni Ashton at pumunta sa front. Okay, this is awkward.

"So, silang tatlo ang pinili ko as representatives kasi sila yung pwedeng matrust and pwedeng maging leaders. They are also smart."

Smart? Kelan pa ako naging smart?

"So, goodluck. I will also give you group names." Oh no.

"Group 1: Naomi and Ashton. Group 2: Cheska and Jaxxen. Group 3: Elle and James."

Hay salamat.

"So, I will provide you kung ano gagawin niyo. Group 1 ang nakalagay dito is small cafè. Group 2 and nakalagay dito is haunted house. Lastly, Group 3 ang nakalagay is photobooth. Later, bibili kayo ng materials."

We nodded.

"Back to your seats." Umupo na kami sa chairs namin.

"So, sa mga kasali sa gagawa, you will change into costumes according to your theme. The event will exactly held on 9:00 in the morning. Pagdating niyo dito, nakacivilian attire muna kayo and when the clock strikes 8:00 a.m, bihis na kayo. Understand? Sa mga di kasali, civilian attire only. Ang gagawin niyo dun is may papel kayo then ilagay niyo kung saan yung napuntahan niyo. Di lang yung section natin ang pupuntahan niyo pero yung lahat. From Grade 7 to Grade 10. Understand? So the event will start at 9 in the morning and will end on 5 in the afternoon. Kaya?"
