Beyond the Limits

Chapter 6: ASSISTANT

Today isn't really exciting and to tell you why, that is because I need to attend school. And attending school means I need to meet Sir Trumph face to face. I can still remember the fear that crept in my chest the time when I went to the teacher’s facility just to know from him directly that I'll be his so-called "assistant". 

Pagmulat na pagmulat ko palang ng mga mata ko agad na naalala ko ang sinabi sa akin ni sir. Great. Akala ko mas okay pa ito sa community service pero mukhang mali pala ako. Mas gugustuhin ko pang maglinis ng buong Euroyoshida Academy kesa makasama at maging alalay ni Sir Trumph na ubod ng sungit. Para kaya siyang pinagkaitan ng bait. Ni kahit maliit na ngiti nga hindi ko pa nakikita sa kanya eh. 

I sauntered through the hallway making sure my pacing was slow. Uh, hello, wala talaga akong ganang pumasok ngayon. And yes that is because of my terror science teacher. Hindi ko alam kung bakit pero siya pa rin ang first subject namin gayong mukhang okay naman na si Sir Jiro.

I thought the bell would be ringing just before I reached the classroom but I was wrong. When I checked my mobile phone, there's still ten minutes before our first period starts at nandito na agad ako sa harap ng classroom. 

When I diverted my sight inside the classroom, there I saw the young science teacher with his scary aura (as always), sitting on the desk while studying the paper in his hand. Oh I forgot to mention, this terror teacher of us has never been late ever since his first day. He's always ten minutes early. Kahit na hindi pa tapos si Sir Jiro sa pag didiscuss, nakaabang na siya sa labas. Siguro dahil kami ang first class niya. Wala nga akong matandaan na nalate siya ng kahit isang minuto lang eh. It looks like na wala talaga sa bokabularyo niya ang salitang late. And he seems to hate it so much kaya siguro ganun na lang rin ang pag papagalit niya sa akin nang malate ako. 

I brushed away my thoughts before sighing heavily. Tinapunan ko muli ng tingin si sir na busy parin sa papel na hawak niya bago ako tuluyang pumasok ng classroom. Nandoon na si Lauren at sinusundan ako ng tingin. The surroundings were quiet even though most of my classmates were already in the room.

Aware ata sila sa nakakatakot na aura na pumapalibot kay Sir kaya nanahimik ang mga ito. Takot nalang na mapagalitan ni Sir Trumph. 

Hell.

I also had an unpleasant expression on my face the moment I entered the room. At mas lumalala pa iyon nang papalapit ako sa upuan ko. 

"What?" I asked in a bratty way, raising my left brow. 

"Nothing," Lauren avoided my eyes before straightening her posture as she sat. "Bakit ang init ng ulo mo? Ang aga aga ang pakla na ng itsura mo."

I mentally rolled my eyes when she described my look as 'pakla'. Really Lauren? 

"Nothing," I replied, copying her response to me a while ago.

She puffed some air and intently looked at me. What the hell is her problem? "Ano?" Marahas na tanong ko at mukhang napalakas ata ang pagakakasabi ko nun dahil agad naman ito na pa shh sa akin. Kasabay pa noon ang paglapat ng hintuturo niya sa labi at ang pagkunot ng kaniyang noo. I know I know, she also cannot afford being scolded by the terror teacher in front. 

"Wala! Umupo ka na nga," mahinang sagot nito at saka mahinang tinapik ang upuan sa tabi niya. 

Lumipas ang oras at nagsimula na ang klase. It was hella boring and I swear, I prevented myself from yawning. Not because Sir Tumph is a terrible teacher but because I just don't find the topic interesting. It's about DNA and stuffs and heck I hate that topic. Back in 8th grade ay na discuss na rin iyan at halos hindi ako nakinig dahil ayoko ng masiyadong masikot na lesson. Ang daming mga detalye na dapat tandaan. Hindi siguro mahirap na topic 'yon pero para sakin nakakainis siyang aralin. And I don't have any freaking idea why Sir Trumph tackled this topic today.
