TGIWS: Phoenix Ryler Velasquez's POV (Completed)

Part 39

"Paano? Siya lagi ang tinuturo mo sa Teacher." I threw him the ballpen.

"Hindi, ha! Talagang malakas lang siya dumaldal, hindi siya nawawalan ng kwento. Ang totoo niyan... sa mas kwento pa niya ako may naiintindihan kaysa sa lesson."

See? Madaldal talaga siya and everyone was listening to her talks.

Tumingin kaming lahat sa pinto nang pumasok ang Teacher.

"Boys, go back to your seats." The teacher glared at us when she saw our sit positions. "I repeated, go back to your seats."

I leaned my back on the chair. Dude, this is my seat if my girlfriend isn't here. And since wala siya, I'll be sitting in the back.

"These men..." she shook her head.

Tumingin ako sa labas ng room dahil nagsalita na siya. I picked up my phone and Darlene's message appeared on my screen.

She greeted me good morning. I replied back.

"Velasquez."

"What?" Nag-angat ako ng tingin sa tumawag sa akin.

"Present daw." Dash pointed to the Teacher.

"Okay then, present." Binaba ko ang tingin sa screen. I think she just woke up. Hindi na ulit siya nakapag-reply kaya sure akong bumaba na siya.

I hid my phone.

"Miranda—I forgot, she's suspended because she pushed Miss Blanco in the stairs," the Teacher said.

And that words, caught my attention. They really believing the lies? Balak ko sanang magsalita kaso naunahan ako ng mga katabi ko.

"Miss, hindi niya tinulak si Iris. Si Iris mismo ang naghulog sa sarili niya," Harvey said a little bit irritated.

"Kaya nga, ang ganda-ganda at bait ng baby namin kaya hindi niya 'yon magagawa. Sa buwan na kasama namin siya, nakita namin kung gaano siya kabait kahit na minsan may pagkaloko si Darlene." Owen said.

"Totoo kaya 'yon. Grabe kayo manisi, e, wala pa ngang totoo. Kung maka-accused kayo grabe." Arvin rolled his eyes.

"But that was what Rose said," The teacher looked at us all. "She saw it with both eyes."

Hindi ako makapagsalita. Ms. Catalina showed up.

"I know she can't do that, Ms. Marriam." Ms. Catalina said, she even rolled her eyes at the teacher. "Doesn't mean na nakita ng dalawang mata ni Rose ang nangyari, ibig sabihin 'yon na ang totoo. Remember, may mga taong kayang magsinungaling kahit na alam ang totoo para pagtakpan ang katotohanan."

Ms. Marriam can't speak. While Ms. Catalina took the paper from her table.

"You are a Teacher. Matuto rin dapat tayo na alamin ang totoo, hindi 'yong kung ano ang sinabi ng isa dapat na nating paniwalaan. We should hear both sides, not only one." Ms. Catalina turned her back after talking.

Mas lalong hindi nakapagsalita ang Teacher. She just continued to proceed in the lesson. Halos oras lang ang hinihintay namin na matapos, until the lunch came.

Tumayo agad ako at kinuha ang bag ko. I went to the CCTV area and they followed me immediately. I told them to be quiet dahil ang ingay nilang lahat.

May tao na doon nang makarating kami. The problem is, they didn't let us see the footage or even stepped in that damn office.

Tss... wala namang aircon ang office nila.

"Restricted ito. Bawal pumunta dito ang mga estudyante."

We really need to see the footage. Masama ba 'yon?
