WREN POV

A few days had already passed since the guitar duel happened between Favs, Jonathan and Kai. It was mind blowing talaga. Ilang araw na akong on guard to ensure na hindi ko makasalubong si Kai sa loob ng campus. Even Tinacs felt something was weird about me. But today, I had no choice because it's Songwriting day again sa class ni Prof JP.

Habang naglalakad ako papuntang building ng mga third years, nakasalubong ko sina Errol at MC - my two blockmates who were also Compo majors.

"Hey Wren! Totoo ba ang balita sa radyo at tv?" asked MC.

"Anong balita? Hindi ako nakakapanood eh."

Nagtawanan yung dalawa.

"He meant the news that you had to leave Class 1? Is that the reason why you were absent today?" it was Errol.

Alangan akong tumango, "Oo eh."

"Savage!" he said, "Why? What happened? Though I think I have an idea, right bro?"

Tumango naman si MC. Parang silang dalawa lang yung nagkakaintindihan.

Then MC tapped me in the shoulder, "Ganyan talaga. Kahit saan may pulitika. Just do good."

"Yeah, and do what you need to do. Luck is not for everyone. Some people had to work hard to get what they want. Just like us, right bro?"

Then nagfist-bump sila. "Well goodluck Wren!"

"Thanks," sabi ko na lang kahit lost in space ako sa usapan nila.

"Just a piece of advice, though," then Errol leaned closer to me, "If you want to make it here, stay away from Hayley."

Nagulat ako sa sinabi niya. Hayley? Bakit? Magtatanong sana ako kung bakit niya yun nasabi pero nakalayo na yung dalawa. I think they got the wrong idea?

It was two days ago ng papuntahin ako ni Prof Riza sa office niya.

"From now on, I will give you a one on one session meaning you don't need to attend Voice 101 class anymore, do you understand Wren?"

"Uhm bakit po?"

"Can't you see? Those kids will just drag you down. I want to unleash your full potential and the only way is if I focus on you."

That's the reason why hindi na ako pumasok ngayon sa Voice 101. But I wonder anong kinalaman ni Hayley dito? Totoo ba talaga na may potential ako as per Prof Riza or was it just plain politics as MC said? May chance ba talaga ako na maging bahagi ng mundo ni Spencer? I still couldn't believe it. When I was young, everyone said that I don't have the talent. Why is she saying the exact opposite now?

Nakarating na ako ng classroom ni Prof JP at dumiretso ako sa upuan na nasa tabi ng bintana. Wala pa dito sina Akel at Kai. Mukhang malalate sila. Kinuha ko na lang ang earphones ko at pinatugtog ang album nila Spencer. (Now playing: Satellites)

Hindi ko nalamayan na dumating na pala si Prof JP kasabay ang mga boys. Binati ako nila Akel at Favs pero si Kai diretso sa upuan sa harapan ko sabay natulog. Hindi man lang niya ako pinansin! Ni hindi man lang niya ako nilingunan? Hindi na ba siya curious sa akin?

Could it be, nawala na rin yung pagdududa niya? Well, si mommy nga ay hindi ako nakikilala sa mga disguises ko, si hearts pa kaya? Ewan, pero naiirita ako na hindi niya ko nakikilala. Sa malamang, ang pangit ko kasi. Tssk, kaasar bakit kasi ganito pa yung disguise na naisip ko? Eh bakit itong si Akel, kausap ng kausap sa akin? Ang daldal!

"My Angel, sige na pumayag ka na. Irerecord ko yung kinompose niyong kanta ni Kai. Ako bahala sa lahat," pangungulit niya. Ayaw talaga magtigil.

"Ako, maggigitara kung ayaw ni Kai," sabi naman ni Favs, "Busy daw siya eh."
