*knock knock*
*knock knock*
A sudden couple of knocks disturb our class discussion, and a mid-30 man step-in to our classroom roaming his eyes around. He is with some students too.
"Mister Ong what's with the sudden visit?" As our adviser head his way towards the professor.
"Mr. Gonzales do you somehow have a student here named Shaniah Nich Lasseter?"
Did I heard it right? It was me that they are looking for. And If ever it was me, then what do they want?
"Yes, she's a transferee. Why is that?"
"Can I talk to her for a minute?"
Di pa man sya nakakasagot tumayo na ako. Tss. As if naman di sya papayag eh kung tutuusin kakausapin lang naman ako, its just that sayang lang ang oras niya kung magiisip pa sya ng tamang isasagot kung in the end alam naman ng lahat kung ano ang magiging desisyon nya.
As I was steps away from them, dun ko lang napansin ang dalawang studyanteng kasama nya.
And what the heck is she doing here?
I was looking at here intently sending her my question 'what the hell are you doing here and are you screwing me up?'.
Umiwas sya ng tingin sakin at awkward na ngumiti. Tss. What are you really up to?!
I was suddenly excused for a minute just to have a talk with this I-Don't-know-who-he-is professor.
"So, Ms. Lasseter I'm professor Clarence Ong, adviser and trainer of Affrazure League"
He then explained to me what brings him here now in front of me, and that is because of this young lady named Nathalie who registered my name for the audition of some sort of school band. What a shit!
"Sorry not Interested" I frankly tell him and look at Nathalie's direction and give her my glare, the heck she is up to. Seriously?? A school band?
"But it was just an audition--"
" My apology for the circumstances that was made along the way but the fact that I wasn't the one who registered my goddamn name was more than enough to state my disapproval. Why don't you at least try her who write my name first and foremost, maybe she really do love to be part of your so called band."
"B-but Shan--"
"Shut it Nathalie"
I'm done with this crap! Hindi pa ba sapat na bumalik ako sa pag-aaral, at talagang kelangan ko pang mainvolve sa isang club?! The heck!!
They're really driving things crazy. Tatalikuran ko na sana silang lahat ng isang kamay ang pumigil sa braso ko.
"Why don't you at least try? Wala namang mawawala."
"Seriously? Why are you so desperate of dragging me into this Mr. Ong? Madaming estudyante ang paaralang ito hindi lang ako"
Ganun na ba talaga sya ka desperado para lang mag audition ako, parang kulang na lang lumuhod sya sa harap ko eh.What the?! Ako kakanta? Gusto ata nilang bumagyo dito ng wala sa oras.
"Just shut it up Mr. Trainer, I'm not into music."
After my last statement I turn my back to them and headed my way to my class but of course I let Nathalie feel my annoyance about her decision. How dare her?
But what put me on the track was the fact that he is really into something. He's desperate enough and the way he talk seems like he is really sure of that I'm the one for his band.
Aaargghh!! Really Shaniah you ended up with that conclusion?
********
The bell rang signaling that the class were now off. Ako ang huling lumabas ng room with my earphones plug on.. I was busy streaming the music when a message popped up on the screen.

From: Nathalie
Shan sabay ako sayo ah. Dito pa ako N-314.
Tss. Yaman yaman di nagdadala ng kotse. Edi sana diretso na akong parking lot at pauwi na.
***To: Nathalie
Tawagan mo yung driver sa bahay, uwi na ako.
***From: Nathalie
Wag na, baka may ginagawa yun maistorbo pa! Hintayin mo na lang ako sa parking lot or punta ka na lang dito
Wow! Wow ah! At talagang mas may paki pa sya sa driver kaysa sakin?! Driver na pala mas inaalala ngayon kung naiistorbo mo ba sila sa mga gawain nila. Queengina! Ang galing!
Aissshhh! I don't know why I still ended up walking towards that damn N-314 where she is. Ano bang pinagkakaabalahan ng batang to?
N-314
Ito na yun?
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
That goddamn voice!
Seriously Nathalie?!
Damn you for this!
I know you're thinking I'm heartless
I know you're thinking I'm cold
I'm just protecting my innocence
I'm just protecting my soul
I'm never gonna let you close to me
Even though you mean the most to me
Why can't I move my feet even a single step?
'Cause every time I open up, it hurts
So I'm never gonna get too close to you
Even when I mean the most to you
In case you go and leave me in the dirt
But every time you hurt me, the less that I cry
And every time you leave me, the quicker these tears dry
And every time you walk out, the less I love you
Baby, we don't stand a chance, it's sad but it's true
I was glued in front of the room while having a debate inside my mind if I'm going to enter or not. And when I was about to open the door someone already do it.
"Tss. Miss your blocking the way. Will you please set yourself aside"
Asshole!
Hindi pa man ako nakakatabi dumaan na sya! Gagu may pa set aside set aside pang nalalaman makakadaan naman pala! Siraulo! Bwiset.
I let myself in, alangan namang tumunganga ako sa labas tapos magkita nanaman kami ng siraulong yun matusok ko na sya ng kutsilyo. Punyeta sya! Kala mo naman talaga!
I'm way to good at goodbyes
(I'm way to good at goodbyes)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No way that you'll see me cry
(No way that you'll see me cry)
I'm way too good at goodbyes
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No
No, no, no, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
No, no, no, no
No, no, no (I'm way too good at goodbyes)
(No way that you'll see me cry)
(I'm way too good at goodbyes)
She really is a good singer, I won't deny that fact. That angelic voice that can really capture your heart, your attention and your being. Tss. Angelic huh! Wanna cut your throat right away!
She continue singing the song while I'm busy scanning the room searching for this girl whom the reason of my existence here..
And there she was, sitting pretty in front, beside.... Mr. Ong?!
Shaniah You.... Are.... Really.... Dead!!!
