Nagbibihis na ako ngayon papunta sa school. Late akong nagising dahil napasarap ang tulog ko. I don't know why my brother didn't wake me up!
When I went downstairs, my brother wasn't in the living room anymore, so I'm sure he's already gone to school. It's 8:30 AM, and I'm sure our class has already started. Why didn't I set an alarm? Tinawag ko na si manong Jun para siya nalang ang maghatid sa akin sa school since wala naman si kuya.
Ilang minuto lang ang nakalipas ay nakarating na ako sa school. Tumakbo ako papuntang classroom, I was hoping that the class hadn't started yet, pero bigo ako. They were almost halfway through the lesson by the time I arrived.
"Kuha ka ng admission slip sa discipline office, Miss Miranda," said Miss Monette, one of our teachers and our subject teacher for today.
Nagmartsa ako papuntang discipline office para kumuha ng admission slip pero wala si Sir doon, kaya nagmartsa nanaman ako para hanapin siya.
I've been circling around the classrooms several times, hoping that Sir would be there, but he's nowhere to be found! When I spotted Sir Alejandro not far away, I immediately approached him.
"Sir, nakita mo ba si Sir Philip?" Tanong ko. Si Sir Philip ang assign sa discipline office.
"May klase siya ngayon. Ang pagkaka-alam ko ay nasa court siya," aniya. Nag thank you naman ako kaagad bago pumunta sa court.
Nang makita ko na si sir Philip ay agad ko siyang nilapitan. He was beside the table with a Slim Water Gallon next to him. That's probably what the basketball players drink. Ang laking Gallon kasi nun.
Lumapit ako kay Sir. "Sir, pahingi pong admission slip," sambit ko.
He gestured 'wait' with his hand as he was grading the students who were playing basketball. It seems like they're having their PE class today. Nahagip naman ng atensiyon ko si Sean at si Miguel na nag ba-basketball. It means si sir Philip ang prof nila ngayon. Hindi ko naman alam kung bakit wala sina Kuya, Yael, at Zen eh magkakaklase rin naman sila.
Pinasa nila 'yong bola kay Sean pero hindi niya ito napansin dahil nasa akin ang tingin niya, kaya tumama 'yong bola sa Gallon ng mineral water at tumama ito sa paa ko!
I just sat down and closed my eyes due to the pain. Agad naman nila akong nilapitan, bakas sa mukha ni Sean ang pag-aalala, pati na rin si Miguel at sir Philip.
"Are you okay, Miss Miranda?" Tanong ni sir Philip. Tumango nalang ako kahit ang totoo niyan ay gusto ko nang umiyak dahil sa sakit. Punong-puno pa naman 'yong laman non at ang laki-laki nung Gallon!
"Are you sure?" Pag-uulit ni Sean dahil hindi yata siya kontento sa pagtango ko.
"Oo, okay lang ako," sagot ko naman.
Iche-check sana ni Sir Philip ang paa ko pero nung sinabi kong ayos lang ako ay hindi na niya tinuloy.
"Pahingi nalang ng admission slip, Sir," I just uttered a response, and he immediately gave it to me, so I stood up. But I had only taken two steps when I suddenly fell because of the pain. Sean quickly came to my side.
"Why do you keep on saying that you're okay when the truth is you're really not?" He asked firmly. Galit ata.
Napatahimik ako dahil totoo naman 'yon. Ayaw ko lang talagang mag-alala sila dahil aksidente naman ang nangyari.
