A candy with a stick

"Our new Supreme Student Government President is....."

Hindi matanggal ang kabog ng dibdib ko, para akong binuhusan ng yelo sa kinatatayuan ko ngayon. Okay, let's admit it. My opponent, Jerson, is good too at leadership but he is using it in a bad way. He is putting his illegal activities here in the University of the Assumption. That's why I will never let him lead this school. 'Cause I trust myself, and today I will be the new Supreme Student Government President.

"Kindly step forward," the announcer paused. This is it! I can sense that I'll be the new aspiring President. "Congratulations, Mr. Liam Carlisle Soriano! Please join us here and receive our calm greeting!"

I was about to go infront but suddenly someone caught my attention..... a weird girl. She's wearing a shades and she's eating something with a stick, a candy? Tss! What a childish one! But she looks cute af.

"Ehem! Mr. Soriano, please join us here," the announcer spoked.

"Tch! Out of focus, you are obviously not ready to be a leader. Mabuti pa at ipasa mo nalang sa akin ang pwesto mo habang maaga pa." Jerson said as he smiled devilishly.

Aba'y gago to ah! Don't mess with me boy. I didn't respond to him and I just follow what the announcer has said.

Nakatitig ako sa mga estudyante, pero isa lang ang pumupukaw sa atensyon ko. The weird girl. Kakaiba siya. Napakaisip bata nya. Until now, she's eating that damned candy with a stick. What's with that?

Pagkatapos ianunsyo ang mga bagong officers ay tinawag na ako para magspeech. I'll spoke something convincing,

"Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen!" the crowd started listening, I'm not ready of this speech thing but I think an Ad-lib will do. "I am Liam Carlisle Soriano. First of all I want to say thank you to all of you. Specially for those person who supported me. Thank you for considering me as your new Supreme Student Government President. As I told you, I'm not promising but I will try the best of me to make this school better and maybe the best. Don't be shy to approach me and share your ideas. We will make them happen. Once again, thank you very much." I bowed after that. They all clapped their hands, except that wierd girl. It's like she has an other world. There must be something on her.

After the ceremony ay pinatawag kami ng principal. Maybe to congratulate us. And by the way, she is our ninang. My twin, Warren, which is the Vice President. And almost of the winners came to my group. Ang pinoproblema ko nalang ngayon ay yung dalawang alalay ng gagong si Jerson. They'd got the position of Peace Officer. If I know Jerson, he'll use them sa mga kalokohan nya. But what like I'd said, I will never let him do that. NEVER!

Naglalakad kami papunta sa Principal's office nang makasalubong namin si the-weird-girl. Hanggang ngayon pa talaga ay kumukain siya nyan?

Biglang may tumamang maliit na stick sa mukha ko. Medyo basa ito, nang mapagtanto ko na yung babaeng 'yon ang nagbato sakin ay sinugod ko kaagad siya.

Hinigit ko ang braso nya at tiningnan ng masama. Does she know what is she doing? The hell! Sa mukha ko pa talaga.

"Hey! Don't you know na bawal ang magtapon ng kahit ano dito? Especially on my face?"

Inaawat nila ako at sinabing hayaan nalang pero kumukulo ang dugo ko. Kung sanang walang laway ang tumama sakin ay ayos pa. Mukhang sinasadya nya ang pangyayari. At wala akong pakialam kung sino man siya. Kung patuloy siya sa ginagawa nya, I promise her life will be miserable.

"Tss! Pa-ingles-ingles pa! Sa palagay mo ba ay bagay mo?"

What the hell! Isn't she aware that I am the President here? Kung makapagsalita siya ay akala mong siya ang may-ari ng mundo.
