Chapter SIX

<Liana's POV>

So far, so good naman ang naging pagtuturo ni Ma'am Corrinne sa'min. Nagpapatulong na rin sa'min si Sir Santos na magpapansin kay Ma'am. Sabi na eh. Type siya ni Sir!!! :">

Breaktime namin ngayon. Di ko kasabay si Anne kasi may pinuntahan na di ko alam kung saan. At least may diversion siya.

Hello ^.^

Oh-kay?? Sino naman 'to? I replied with "who you?". From my peripheral vision, I saw my gangster look-a-like classmate smiling.

*bzzzzt

From: +63907*******

MJ po. ^.^

Sino 'to? Sagutin ko nga ng "MJ who?". Wala naman kasi akong kilalang MJ ang name eh.

*bzzzzt

From: +63907*******

MJ Laxatin po. Classmate mo.

Laxatin?! Ah, ung classmate naming mukhang gangster. Sinave ko ung number niya at nireplyan siya ng "Okay".

Maya-maya, lumapit siya sa'kin at in-occupy ung upuan ni Anne. Usapan namin? Eto oh: (M- MJ ; L- me)

M: Hello ^_^

L: Hi -_-

M: Busy ka?

L: Medyo. Why?

M: Wala lang. Mukha ka kasing lonely eh.

L: Ok.

*Silence

M: Kumain ka na?

L: Busog pa ako.

Ganyan lang yung usapan namin hanggang mag-bell. Bumalik na si Anne then dumating ung teacher namin sa MAPEH. Habang may nagre-report, kinausap ako ni Anne. "Bakit nandito ung mukhang gangster kanina?" tanong niya. "Wala, nakipag-daldalan lang." sagot ko. "Saan ka galing?" tanong ko naman. "Ah, kinausap ko lang ung childhood friend ko." sagot niya. Nag-nod lang ako.

Natapos ung lecture namin. Para lang kaming robot. Discuss-recite-discuss-recite. Ayan. Ulit-ulit na ganyan xD

*English, last subject

May dalang notebook si Ms. Pinky as she entered the room. Magpapasulat sana siya ng lecture nang bigla siyang tawagin ni Ms. Mavic, un isa pang English teacher. Pinag-usapan nila ung tungkol sa upcoming English festival at wala pa silang napipili na mag-act as Belle, ung sa Beauty and the Beast na fairy tale.

 Pumasok sila sa room. Ms. Pinky asked "Sino sa inyo ang nakakaalam ng theme song ng Beauty and the Beast?". I eagerly raised my hand. Akala ko ipapasulat niya ung lyrics, but I was wrong. "Could you portray Belle for our Parade of Literary Characters? We already found a Beast but no Belle." Ms. Pinky asked. What the eff?? I will act as Belle?? OMG!!

"S-sure, Ma'am." I just said. Nakakatakot kasi tanggihan si Ms. Pinky. May binulong sa kanya si Ms. Mavic, then she turned to me. "Ms. Tanaka, follow us outside. Now." she said. Hala!!! Bakit kaya?!

Paglabas namin, Ms. Mavic faced me. "Liana, your decision should be final. Are you willing to portray Belle?" she asked me. "Yes, Ma'am. You have my word." assurance ko sa kanila. "Okay. Punta ka na lang sa English dept. mamayang dismissal. Isama mo si Ms. Garcia kasi kinuha namin siya for Ms. English." sabi ni Ms. Pinky sa'kin. After that, bumalik na ako sa room.

 *dismissal, corridor

Papunta na kami ni Anne sa English Department ng harangin kami ni Allen. Nag-hi siya kay Anne and supposedly pati sa'kin, kaso bigla akong hinigit ni MJ and said, "Bye crush.". Alam ko narinig un nina Anne at Allen. Their reactions was like O.O . I was just :"> and ?.? at the same time.

Pag-alis ni MJ, hinila ko na si Anne papuntang English Department. Pagdating namin, Ms. Pinky handed me a copy of the lyrics of "Beauty and the Beast" by Celine Dion. Tch. I don't need this. Memorize ko naman eh. >;-D

A few minutes later, nakumpleto na lahat ng pinatawag nina Ms. Pinky. I caught sight of Allen and Liam, magkasama. "Okay, you guys would be our school's representative for the upcoming Division English Festival. You would participate in different contests, either single, by pair or by group." then ini-announce ni Ms. Mavic yung solo and group contestants. "Now, English fest only have two contests that require a pair of contestants. As for Mr. and Ms. English, we would be represented by none other than Mr. William Manalili and Ms. Anne Garcia." Ms. Pinky announced. Sabay pang tumayo ung dalawa for reactions:

Liam: YES!!!! :D

Anne:WHAT?!?! >.<

"Ms. Garcia, I thought you wanted to be Ms. English? What's with that reaction?" Ms. Mavic asked. Harhar. "N-nothing, Ma'am." Anne stammered and took her seat. Ms. Pinky went on. "And to compete for Parade of Literary Characters, we have Ms. Liana Tanaka and Mr. Allen Pamaran." Napatayo naman kami to react.

Allen: YEAH!!! :3

Liana: NO WAY!!! O.O

"Liana, you said we had your word that you'd do Belle?" Ms. Pinky asked. "Yes ma'am, I said that, but is it already final that my partner would be.. Mr... Mr. Pamaran?" I asked. "Yes. Any objections?" Ms. Mavic told me. "N-none, ma'am." I said and cowered in my seat. Take my word: this would be a disaster.

<Anne's POV>

Hindi ko alam ano bang kasalanan ko at eto ang parusa ko. Naiwan pa kami for rehearsals. Asar. Bakit sa dami ng lalaki sa school, eto pang Spawn from Hell na 'to ang kapartner ko. :'( Though mas mahirap sa part ni Liah (kasi moving on pa din siya), mas naiisip ko ung sitwasyon ko. Then, out of nowhere, I felt like someone was staring. I turned and saw Trixie staring-- no wait, let me rephrase that: she's GLARING at me. What the eff is her problem?!

"Hayaan mo na lang siya." I heard Liam say. I noticed his hand on my arm so I pulled it away. "Ooopps. Sorry." he said. "Mag-conceptualize ka na nga lang jan!!" I told him, medyo irritated. Asar. Chansing pa siya ha!! >.<
