"WHAT?!"

Napangiwi na lang ako dahil sa malakas na sigaw ni Liya, ang gagang 'to napaka drama queen.

"You heard me Ms. Jimenez, we can't assure you good if you go back home now," maawtoridad na sabi ng punong guro

"Why is that? We have families waiting for us back there in the real world," ani Jiyah

"We know that but we can't let you go back now that you're all here. We have been waiting for this day to come. Yes, we want you here willingly but we have no choice to force you stay here as whole now because Luehandro has made some foolish decision," mahinahong sabi ni Ms. Helen

"Why are we even involve here? Namumuhay lang naman kami ng payapa sa mundo namin tapos mangyayari 'to? Ano 'to gaguhan?" Alexa the great scene maker spoke

"Do you even know what kind of a person you really are? Umalis ka dito kung gaguhan 'to para sa'yo dahil walang namimilit sa'yo!" the Lukas guy said.

"Oh please. Walang namimilit? Bingi ka ba? Kakasabi nga lang na wala kayong choice kundi pilitin kami eh tapos hindi namimilit?" Kapag talaga nakaharap 'to ng mas hambog sa kaniya hindi nagpapatalo

Lukas was about to strike again when Ms. Helen spoke,

"Enough. You are breaking the rules right now. We are in a meeting and you dare not to speak in english? Mr. Ocampo you should know that by now, you are living here after all,"

"You should rest for now. You just had a long journey and knowing all of these in one will just make you more exhausted."

"No." I protested, "Don't bother to worry about us right now. Tell us everything why we are here, involve with this mess and can't even go home," I am so shock I didn't even stutter a bit. Bakit ba kasi nakatingin pa 'tong Ace na 'to?!

"You sure about that? Can you process everything in one go when you don't even believe things like this?" he asked

"We'll see about that," matapang kong sabi 

"I understand what you're saying Ms. Velez. And you sound just like your father," the Headmaster said,

"But I can't let you know things without even resting first. It's almost lunch, why don't we eat first before we continue this meeting?"

Tiningnan ko isa isa ang mga kasama ko para manghingi sana ng sagot pero ang mga bruha nakatingin lang din sa akin na parang naghihintay din ng sagot

"Fine,"

"Ms. dela Cerna who's waiting for you outside will guide you to where you will rest. Let's continue this meeting later after lunch," 

Tinanguan na lang namin siya at pinauna ko na munang pinalabas sila Jiyah. Bago pa man ako makalabas ay may humarang na sa'kin,

"Let's talk."
