100 DAYS OF YOU (A MAYWARD STORY)

Part 82

Hindi ko na nalaman kung anong nangyari sa dalawa kahapon after going into Father Bautista's office.

I was supposed to wait for Tyrone pero pinauwi na ako ni Kuya Luis at sya na lang daw ang magaantay kay Tyrone.

I texted Tyrone to ask how he is but he never responded. Gusto ko din sanag tanungin si Ethan kung okay lang siya pero I chose not to.

Meron namang nakaalalay sa kanya.

Speaking of which, naalala ko ang sinabi ni Hope sa akin kahapon bago niya puntahan si Ethan.

'Jeez! Make up your mind Maddie!'

Yeah, that's what she said. I'm pretty sure I heard it correctly.

What do I have to make up my mind about? I have no idea!

'Ethan's suspended for a week.' Laureen said ng nagtipon tipon kami sa classroom bago ang klase.

'Grabe suspended agad?' Tanong naman ni Alora.

Hala! Paano kaya si Tyrone.

'Excuse. Tawagan ko lang si Ty.' I stood up para lumayo sa kanila.

After me and Ty talked, ay bumalik din akong agad.

'Si Tyrone din suspended but just for 3 days. Pero suspended din daw sila sa basketball practice and games for 2 weeks.' Pagbabalita ko sa kanila ng naging hatol kay Tyrone.

'Hala bat magkaiba sila ni Tyrone?' Tanong ni Elisha.

'Apparently, Ethan went to school drunk yesterday. Thus the longer suspension plus community service.'  Paliwanag ni Laureen.

'Ano lasing? Pumasok ng lasing si Ethan?' Paglilinaw ko.

'Yup and I know you know why.' Baling sa akin ni Laureen and she doesn't look happy about it.

Is it because iniwanan ko sya sa hotel the other night? Bakit naman niya kailangang maglasing because of that?

'Sorry Lau. If it's because of that.' Ayaw kong magkagalit kami muli ni Laureen.

'No sweat. I kinda get you but I hope you give Ethan a chance. Talk to him Maddie. Please.' Pakiusap ni Laureen. 'I want to tell you a lot of things sistah but it shouldn't come from me. So please okay?'

'I will. Soon.' I guess it have to come sooner.

'Ano pa lang community service ni Ethan?' Tanong ni Alora.

'Don't know yet. He wouldn't spill.' Sagot naman ni Laureen

'Nga pala. Nagmessage si Luis. We have a meeting daw later for the next fund raising.'

'Oh sige. See you mamaya sa SOF office.' Pagpapaalam ko sa kanila.

Yung mga klase ko ngayon kasi hindi ko sila kasama.

Pagkatapos ng mga klase ay dumiretso na ako sa SOF.

Ang meeting tungkol sa open mic ay naging mas madali dahil meron ng lugar at date as to when it will be held.

We printed adverts to invite students to join the event. Pati na din mga estudyante na willing magbahagi ng talent nila for a cause.

I was asked to pin the adverts on the school bulletin boards.

Paglabas ko pa lang ng quartes ng SOF, may isang bulletin board na agad.

I was about to pin the advert when I spotted a pink note which I am now getting familiar with. This time, it came with a real white rose and not the tissue paper one.
