"St. Mary High School has been one of the most prestigious learning academies in the city with its reputation of how they mold and train their students to be gracious, respectful, smart, talented, and disciplined." Pinagmasdan ko ang Principal ng New Gen magbasa ng kung anumang dyaryo na hawak niya. 



"The said school has garnered both local and international academic awards and ranks first on the Philippine Top Secondary Academies and has continued to raise the bar of standards among other schools." 



Gusto ko na lang magpakain sa lion or tiger sa zoo. "Sorry po, ulit---"



"Alam mo bang ibig sabihin non, iha?" Marahang tanong ni Mr. Baldivia. Tumango naman ako.



"This academic newspaper was just released last three  months ago." Nagtanggal siya ng salamin at binaba yung hawak niyang dyaryo. "Kaya laking gulat ko, when I entered that room not an even hour after I welcomed you to our school, a student from St. Mary High was screaming her lungs out like a rabid animal and causing chaos in the room." 


Rabid animal talaga? Hindi ba pwedeng War Goddess? Dyosa na kinakalaban ang mga masasamang aswang? 



"Clearly not the kind of student I had in mind. Nasaan ang grace, discipline, at smart thinking doon, Ms. Saavedra? Come to think of it, I was informed that you are the Student Council Secretary?"



"Sir, hindi po kami ang nag-umpisa--"



"Oh, I know!" Sabi niya at pinutol niya pageexplain ko. "Hindi kayo kasi ikaw lang ang nag-umpisa. On the very first day of the Annual School Visit. Alam mo b ang epekto nito sa school niyo?"



"Sir, let me explain po sana---"



"You gave me no choice but to call the attention of your Principal--"



"Sandali lang naman po! Mali naman po yun sir. Hindi niyo ho pinakinggan ang paliwanag ko." Mangiyak-ngiyak kong sabi. "Sa tingin ninyo may lakas po talaga kami ng loob manggulo ng ganon? Wala pang isang buong araw na nakatapak kami dito, nang-balahura na kami kaagad? I just stood up for my school. Those students in that class are the one who started it! We came here expecting to have a nice relationship with other students from other schools, hindi po ganitong klase ng welcome!"



Matagal natigilan yung principal. May pinindot siyang kung ano sa desk niya. "Hello, please escort this student back to the room. Thank you."



What the hell?



"First warning, Ms. Saavedra." 



Napairap na lang ako sa kanya. Clearly napaka-bias ng principal na yon!



At lagot ako nito kay Damian for sure.
