Against The Destiny

Chapter 12

#GrizaldeTwelve

Everyone was excited for the pageant, at kahit ayoko manuod dahil wala akong gana, pinilit padin ako nila Jeremy. And I just found myself inside of the new build auditorium.

"Hey, check your email." Bulong sa amin ni Kenea.

"Why?" I asked as while opening my phone to check my email.

"The dean sent us message." She explained, making me groan. Tsk, malamang ay tungkol sa parusa namin.

Walang gana kong binuksan ang email, halos sabay sabay kaming nag basa.

From: Joyce Hermanas
This is the Dean, I want you all to meet me at my office at lunch.

I rolled my eyes and close my phone, kaasar. I can't imagine myself cleaning garbages from toxic people after this fiest. Ayoko nalang bigla matapos ang fest.

The pageant started, walang ibang bukambibig si Kenea kundi si Zion na kasali sa contest na ito. No one was allowed to watch the practices, only the close supporters of contestant. And Kenea end up with dissapointment when Charlotte appeared with someone, not Zion.

"What?" She sounds so annoyed, I smirked and just shrugged.

"Saan ka naman kasi naki-chismis na kasali si Zion?" Jeremy asked while drinking on his juice.

"Sa fan page niya, mali naman pala."

Umirap lang ako, naiirita dahil sa reaksyon ng kaibigan.

"Are you telling us na kasali ka sa page na 'yon?" I asked, annoyed. Humahaba ang nguso nitong humarap sa akin at tumango, earning a small pinches from Jeremy.

"Are you seriously throwing our friend to that psychopath?!" Jeremy reacted, na inirapan ko din.

Akala mo naman kung makareak, parang 'di nakisabay sa mga toxic fans ni Zion kahapon sa ginawang eskandalo na pag susuot sa akin ng sapatos.

"Pareho lang kayo." I mocked.

Tourism department won, magaganda naman kasi ang estudyante ng department nila. They won again, the crown remain on their hand.

Like what the Dean messaged us, pumunta kami sa opisina niya bago mag tanghalian, and I am not surprised to see the annoying jerk who is also waiting outside of the Deans' office.

"May kausap pa siya." He started and nodded his head to me.

"No one asked." I rolled my eyes, hindi na ako naupo kahit mahaba naman ang bench.

Ayoko na siya makatabi kahit 1 meter lang.

"Zion is it true na hindi ka talaga sumali sa contest or you just back out?" Pakiki-chismis ni Kenea.

I mentally shook my head, baliw na ata ang isang 'yan. Baka sa sumunod na araw ay sumali nadin siya sa mga grupo na nag kakagusto kay Zion at ichecheer siya sa bawat laro.

That's not impossible.

"No, it's just a humor. Well, they asked me to join but I refused."

Feeling celebrity.

"Pogi kana niyan?"

Pinigilan ko ang tumawa dahil sa pang aasar ni Jeremy, pasimple ko silang sinulyapan, but Zion doesn't look offended.

"Dati pa."

Nakangisi nitong sagot, he suddenly turn to me kaya nahuli niya akong nanunuod. Agad akong nag iwas ng tingin at tumikhim. Ayan, tingin tingin pa.

Baka may mag assume.

Hindi din nag tagal at lumabas ang Dean kasama ang dalawang parents, agad din kaming pinapasok. Pinakahuling pumasok si Paul na masama agad ang tingin kay Zion na nakangisi padin.
