Better Than Revenge
"The story starts when it was hot and it was summer and..."
Napakainit nga naman kapag summer dito sa Pilipinas. Daig pa ang pugon sa nakapapasong init, masakit sa balat. Pero mas masakit yung naramdaman ng puso ko. Ano nga bang mas sasakit pa sa wasak na puso?
"I had it all, I had him right there where I wanted him"
3 years ago, I've been inlove with a man who's deeply inlove with me too. I was 17 that time. We were so happy, so inlove. Like we were living in a fairytail. He's my first love, and I'm also his first love. Everything was fine until...
" She came along, got him alone and let's hear the applause
She took him faster than you could say "sabotage"
CHAPTER 1
"Kath! I've been looking for you everywhere. San ka ba nagsususuot?", tanong ni Sandra, my closest friend.
"Nag-cr lang ako. Bakit ba aligaga ka?", tanong ko habang nagpupunas ng kamay.
"I saw your ex and your ex-bestfriend. They both enrolled in the same course. And guess what? They are under our org.", kwento niya na parang naeexcite pa sa nangyayari.
Natawa naman ako nang bahagya sa nalaman ko na di kinalaunan ay naging dahilan ng pagngisi ko.
"What's with the smirk mistress of evil?", tanong ni Sandra na mukhang natutuwa sa nakikita niya.
"Nothing. Naaawa lang ako sa kanila dahil hindi nila alam ang pinasok nila.", I said at patuloy na naglakad patungo sa classroom namin.
I am Katherina Tuazon. The President of Society of Visual and Performing Artists here in Olympia University School of Arts.
Graduating na, tri-sem kasi. And this school is only for those who have talents and those who can buy talents. What do I mean by that? Well para sa mga wala naman talagang talent pero kayang bayaran ang school para magkatalent sila. I guess talent na din ang panunuhol ngayon? I don't know and I don't care. As long as nasa ilalim sila ng term ko, they should prove theirselves. Kilala na talaga ako dito bilang the Terror President pero sa tatlong taon ko sa posisyong ito, they say I'm effective. Effective enough to let our school gain its highest number of enrollees. Too bad for my ex at di niya alam na ako ang famous Terror President na hinahangaan nila haha.
"Marielle Olivar, Bachelor in Performing Arts major in Music. Talent? Singing. Ooh vocals..", binabasa ni Sandra ang papel ni Marielle. My ex-beshy/ bagong gf ni CJ-my ex.
"Carl Jay Manalaysay, Bachelor of Performing Arts major in Dance? Really Kath? Dancer tong ex mo?", gulat na tanong niya.
"Yes and I'm the one who pushed him to dance. I guess dancing is making way to let us meet again. And I am really happy with that. Tomorrow handa na akong harapin sila sa general assembly. It's been two years since I last saw them."
-kinabukasan-
Marami nang tao sa function hall for the general assembly. And spotted, nasa gitna silang dalawa. I know I've become better since I decided to move on. At alam kong magugulat sila pag nakita nila ako. I've changed, a lot.
"To give us a welcoming message, may we call on stage the woman behind this org's success, the Terror President- no other than, Katherine Tuazon."
Nagtayuan ang lahat at pumalakpak, maliban sa kanilang dalawa na halatang gulat na gulat sa nalaman nila. I walked confidently sa stage and showed my sweetest smile at tumingin sa kanilang dalawa.
"Society of Visual and Performing Artists is a well-known organization for its unique system. And I am very happy to meet all of freshies here, I hope you'll do your best to prove yourselves here in this university. I am honored to be your guide, mentor, your ate, your president to help you when it is needed. Welcome batch Da Vinci, may the deserving-stay and win the race. Thank you!", I said at muli pang sumulyap sa dalawa na hanggang ngayon ay gulat at di makapaniwala. I bet magshishift na sila later on.
I was walking at the hallway when someone tried to grab my hand.
"Kath can we talk?", he asked.
"What do you want?...... CJ?"
