Chapter 12: Captain

Chapter 12: Captain

"Oh, hello? Are you there na ba?" I asked Vince through a phone call.

"Oo, nandito na ako," he answered. Parang nababalisa siya na ewan.

"Is she there?" I asked again, pertaining to Ate Marra.

"Wala pa," he said. Alam niya na naman ang plan.

"Wait! Wait! I saw her na!" I exclaimed when I saw the back of Ate Marra. Phew! I thought natakasan niya na ako.

"Really? Nasaan siya?" Vince asked. I think he's panicking, ang cute, shems!

"Malapit na kami, nasa Auditorium na kami, be ready, I need to hang this up na, bye. Good luck!"

"Shane---" Pinagbabaan ko siya ng tawag. Finally at nakita ko na si Ate Marra papasok sa audi kung nasaan si Vince ngayon. I bit my lower lip for one minute. And when the right time came, I locked the door from the outside. I also made sure na drained ang battery ng phone ni Ate Marra so that she can't ask help from the outside.

"Woooh! Success!" I leaned my back on the auditorium's door. I bit my lower lip with a faint smile. I had read it in Ate Shanty's book wherein the girl was locked inside the gymnasium with her leading man. And while they were waiting for someone to open the door, they confessed their feelings towards each other. I hope gano'n din sila---

"Shanel?"

"Ayy, shemay!" I exclaimed while holding my chest. Nagulat ako nang makita kung sino 'yon. "Kenshii?" I asked surprised. 5 o'clock na kasi at halos wala ng student ngayon sa campus, wala rin naman kaming training or what. So I'm wondering talaga kung bakit pa siya nandito.

"Bakit nandito ka pa? At kailan ka pa naging maintenance para ikaw mismo ang mag-lock ng auditorium?" I felt another person's presence around kaya agad kong hinila si Ken sa isang tabi to hide.

"Oh my gosh, girl! You saw her reaction? It seems like wala na talagang panama 'yang Demi na 'yan sa akin. Dwayne's slowly falling in love with me." I peeked at them and I saw Ate Fuchsia and Ate Kate there. Agad naman akong hinila ni Ken para makatago.

"Yes, and sooner or later, Kenzo will be mine as well." Napatingin ako kay Ken na nakakunot ang noo. So Ate Kate's into Ken?

"Perfect! Si Ericka kasi, ang bagal! Look, baka maunahan siya ni Shanel kay Matthew." Mas naging attentive ako sa pinag-uusapan nila nang marinig ko 'yon. So Ate Ericka really likes Vince? Ate Ericka's so pure, and I don't want her to be hurt. Lalo na't nalaman kong Vince's really into Ate Marra. But what did she say?! Mauunahan ko siya kay Vince?! Oh no! I don't have any single chance.

Unti-unti nang nawala 'yong voices nila. I sighed, hindi mawala sa isip ko 'yong narinig ko. And what's perturbing me more is what Ate Fuchsia said about Demi. Sinasabi ko na nga ba at hindi niya dapat binabangga si Ate Fuchsia, eh. She's too menacing for Demi.

"Are we going to tell this to Janee?" I asked for Ken's opinion. I'm sure that he's also worried about our friend. Janee's so kind to us that I treated her as my Ate, kahit matanda lang siya sa 'kin ng seven months.

"Siguro kailangan nating sabihin," sabi niya.

"Yeah, I think we should. Not to make her upset but to make her discerning and aware," I said.
