I Don't Believe That My Father Is Already Dead

Chapter 6: I Hate You!

The atmosphere is exciting for everybody present in the hall except for the two persons who are glaring at each other.

"Finally, you've shown up," Keanne thought to himself.

"Uhhm, Maigne. Do you have something to say?" tanong ni Dalton kay Maigne.

It took few seconds before Maigne went back to her senses. "Huh? Ow, yes." Maigned cleared her throat. "Hi everyone, I'm Maigne. So my task here is to mentor both the new and under observation members. Uhhm, I hope we'll all get along. Let us work together as one and bring the trophy to our care!"

"She's so cool, isn't she?" nakangising sabi ni Kyle sa katabing si Keanne.

"Yeah... She was," sagot naman niya.

"Was? Owwww," tugon ni Kyle at ibinalik ang atensyon sa harapan.

Kinabukasan,

"Uy, you know what, ginaganahan talaga akong mag take-note pag si Ms. Alodia ang nagsusulat sa board. I wonder why. Any thoughts Keanne?" tanong ni John Mark sa katabi nitong si Keanne na nakatingin sa bintana at malayo ang tingin.

"Hoy Keanne!" tawag niya ulit.

"Ow, yeah. What are you saying?" Keanne went back to his senses.

"I said, I wonder why I'm so comfortable and fast in copying what's written in the board if it's Ms. Alodia," sagot ni John.

Sasagot na sana si Keanne nang lumingon ang kaklase nilang naka-upo sa kanilang unahan. "Sssshh! Kailangan mo pa talagang mag- 'wonder' ha, wala ka namang utak. Hahaha," pabulong na sita nito.

Gustong tumawa ni Keanne sa isinagot na iyon ni Hernan.

"Isn't it obvious? John, you're motivated because she's freaking ma'am Alodia! The hottest teacher here! Even I can't be motivated more if it's not her," pagpapatuloy pa niya.

"Come on dude, don't stick your ideals to other people's perspectives. Though I kinda agree, she's really attractive" pabulong din namang tugon ni John Mark.

"Boys at the back, it seems like you're talking about something fun there. Maybe you to share it with your other classmates as well?" hamon sa kanila ng guro.

Nakangising tumingin si Hernan kay John Mark at itinaas baba ang kilay nito. "Mwehihihi. What do you think?" tanong niya.

Binatukan siya ni John Mark. "Gago. Hahahaha. Mag concentrate ka na nga!"

Napatawa nalang si Keanne sa dalawang kaklase.

Nang matapos ang period, muling ibinalik ni John Mark ang tanong kay Keanne.

"My goodness John Mark, hindi ka pa rin titigil diyan ah. Hot kasi si Ma---"

"Shut up Hernan!" napipikon ngunit tumatawang pagputol ni John Mark sa makulit na kaklase.

Sumagot si Keanne. "Hahaha! Actually, you do the same thing when it's Mr. Reynald who's writing on the board."

Binatukan ulit ni John Mark si Hernan. "Oh, di'ba. Hindi yun dahil sexy si Ms. Alodia! Pektusan kita diyan eh. Hmmm!"

Lumapit si Hernan kay Keanne. "Matalino talaga tong si Keanne eh noh. Keanne my friend..." komplimento ni Hernan sa kaklase.

"Pero kung hindi dahil sexy si Ms. Alodia kaya ginanahang mag-kopya itong si John Mark, eh ano pa ang ibang dahilan?" ang pahabol niyang tanong kay Keanne.

"If you could let me guys finish explaini---"

"Ow, ow, ow. I'm sorry," "Tahimik ka kasi pre!" sabay na sabi ng dalawa.
