Ostinato: Highschool Beginner's Story [Eng/Fil]

Day 4 - Keep Knowing

"Be honest, got drunk?", I immediately asked after seeing Zoro trip for the third time while walking down.

"Hindi, I'm totally fine," he said as he finally falls down to the ground.

I kneel at him and said, "Hey, if they catch you drunk, you're out. Got it?"

"Eh how can I not be drunk?!" he shouted.

"Here, race me to the bottom," I said as I focused on the road in front and started to sprint, which he immediately followed afterwards.

We reached the bottom. "Now, try to walk in a straight line."

Yet another day for my greatness.

Thursday, the first -- and probably the only day I see as a free day. Teachers are busy so we don't have class. I contacted some of the club members that I know and asked them if we could practice. I also asked sir Rifu on his opinion on what we should wear. He didn't answer, but he called us up straight away.

"Kids, nandito tayo ngayon sa kubo kasi... regrettably, hindi na In The Heights yung gagawin nating performance." 

What?

"Sir, bakit?!" Mumbles filled the place. "Well, sabi kasi ng committee, hindi raw siya appropriate for Vansh. If we want, we could join them daw later sa ALA committee meeting, kaso wala ako later. So I am requesting Fred, to be backed up by Blake, to lead the class later and to take my stead sa meeting. Okay lang ba?"

"Sir ang hilig mo talaga akong pinapartner sa bastos na to eh no?" If it wasn't for Chrom, I would've furiously cut him off and pushed him off the slope.

"Fred, ikaw ang voice ng batch, kaya ka nga batch representative. Besides, mas tatanggapin nila if ikaw pumalit sa akin instead na si Blake."

"Fine."

"Hm? May nakakalimutan ka ata...", sir Rifu said with a joking grin.

Fred breathed a sigh of disdain. "Fine, sir."

-

"Seryoso?"

"Justin, sinabi ko naman sa'yo noon 'di ba? Kailangan mo umattend ng council meets kung gusto mo maging Varsity Leader. Wala ka namang gagawin masyado; makikinig ka lang tsaka sasagot pag tinanong o tinawag ka."

"E sir..."

"Aattend ka ng council meets o hindi ikaw ang magiging team lead?"

"Hays, sige na nga."

Dati pa lang, ayaw ko na talagang umaattend ng meeting lalo na kung wala lang din akong sasabihin. Dati, gusto ko lang talaga maging leader ng club kasi maraming tao, pero ngayon na humiwalay na raw ang Music Club, parang ayaw ko na. Ano ba namang ginagawa ng Sir Rifu na 'yun, ba't ngayong ako na sana?

Rinig ko rin na baka 'yung batutot ang magiging leader ng Music club. Gawin ko ba 'tong Glee vibes na nag-aaway si Sue at Will o pabayaan ko nalang?

"Hey Zoro, you feeling alright?"

"Oo, medyo masakit pa rin ulo ko pero kaya naman."

"What's your club?"

"Ah, baka gawin nila akong head ng cooking club. Mag-3 years na rin kasi ako doon e."

"Cool, hope all goes well."

"Siya nga pala, may meeting daw later?"

"Yeah, you coming?"

"Oo, ininvite ako ni Ma'am Nerida."
