Revelations

Panimula

Note: Intertextual po ito sa mga nabasa kong books nung ganito ang parang idea. Pero rest assured, may bagong twist ito.

~This is intertextual from all the books that have the same idea. But rest assured, this has a twist.

"At yung first place ng sabayang pagbigkas ay.." pabitin ng emcee, nang tiningnan ung envelope na may suot na smug.

"Grade 12- Revelations" Nagsigawan ang mga kaklase ko. Fist-bumps, group hugs, shed tears here and there.

Ang saya noh? Lahat kaming 47 close na close to the point na kapag nag P-PE kami, sa classroom kami nagbibihis, all bare and all.

Yes, kahit yung boys. Di naman mga daks.

Grade 12- Revelations.

24 girls and 23 boys. Parang normal lang na population sa public school. Pero, no. Kalahati sa amin, mga pasosyal na klingero klingera. Halos ihampas ang tig-6k na relo sayo.

And us, being a family, it's not uncommon na may teamworks. Pero kung ikukumpara mo kami sa ibang klase, para lang silang bobo, ikukumpara ang prey at predator.

Nasa lahat, sa amin...

The artista; magaling umarte. "I need to cr, sir/ma'am" kapag may reporting. Advantage? Main role sa play at sabugan sa extemporaneous speaking. Sisa is shook.

The artist; tahimik, nasa likod lang ng klase, dala-dala yung sketchpad kahit saan parang baduy. Advantage? Self-explanatory.

The athlete; #body goals, not the dumbest pea in the pod. Halos biniyayaan ni Lord ng lahat ng sports. Advantage? Lagi kaming pasado sa PE.

The pageants; Mr. And Miss Campus. Walang flaw ang mukha at katawan. Magaling sumagot at rumesbak, prim at proper. Advantage? Hakot lahat ng pageantries sa school.

The bookworms; may libro. Periodt. Advantage? Spelling bee, Biz Whiz, pang matalino na competition.

The artistas v2.0; dancers,singers at every thing in between. Imagine Sam Smith at Taylor Swift. Ganyan.

And the list goes on.

We were the most loved, yet hated section sa school, especially seniors namin. But the hell did we care.

Nasa bandang huli na section kami matatagpuan sa Senior High Department ng University of Vicente T. Morales. (UVM) for short.

UVM is one of the underrated international schools sa Manila. It's like not known(?) Because of its location, it really isn't ideal to build an institution sa may kabundukan. Kahit anu-ano man ang pwedeng mangyari.

But education system isn't bad. But not the best as well. Facilities? Higher than average, but not exceptional.

Teachers? Approachable kasi kasing-edad lang namin. #perksofbeingyoung.

Administration? Atleast di galit sa pera. Gumagastos lang kapag kinakailangan. At di kuripot.

Enough with introductories, di ito research.

Anyways, EVM, yes a prestigious school. Pero mayroon parin ang mga normal phenomenons sa isang paaralan.

Sex scandals? Present, Nepotism? Present, Inflation ng pagkain? Super, Favoritism? Super present.

Pero no one told us about the folklores surrounding it.

One of which, revolves Batch 2018-2019 of, yes, Grade 12- Revelations.

Wait. Akala niyo kami yung may problema?

Pfft.

Moving on, hearing from our seniors na  ever since the "incident" no one was of to speak of it to new freshies. A.K.A us.

But being nosey millenial arses we are. We 'bout enough to find out.

What really happened to Batch 2018-2019 of Grade 12- Revelations.
