THE UNTOLD CRIME: FIELD TRIP

--------------------------------------------------------

I observed the surrounding. I can hear their cries and seeing how they beg for their life. This school is really for monsters.

Imagine, we donʼt even have the flag ceremony here. Pagpasok mo, deretso agad sa klase. And why is that? because they donʼt care, even those in highest position doesnʼt give any attention to school. They only want money.

Makikita mo lang ang maayos na school na ito tatlo o apat na beses sa isang taon kapag may bumibisita o importanteng pag-pupulong.

Pero kahit papano nagiging malinis pa rin tingnan ang campus because of our aspiring janitors.

But most of students abused them.

All of professors here are not meddling with us. They just attending classes to teach the students but they donʼt even care about the studentʼs behavior. Basta makapasok lang sila then boom, may pera na sila.

To the point na makikita na nila 'yong ibang studyante na bugbog sarado sa corridor pero dinadaanan lang nila.

They also donʼt want to be involve to their studentʼs chaotic life. But they should also care and consider our safety. Sadly, they donʼt.

“What are you thinking again?” I looked at Klead whoʼs sitting beside me.

Nasa secret place niya kami ngayon. Dito raw siya nagtatambay parati dahil walang pumupuntang iba dito.

Thanks to Klead, I can experience a peaceful life now.

“Nothing, iniisip ko lang kung bakit ganʼto nalang ka-panget ang pamamalakad sa school na 'to.” Sagot ko sa kanya.

“Donʼt need to ask that. Itʼs pretty obvious, Ella. Theyʼre just using this  school for their secret dirty business.”

I nodded. “Maybe youʼre right.”

We watched the clouds together. Hindi ko na alam kung ano pang iisipin ko.

“Hey, youʼll join the field trip, right?” Napalingon ako kay Klead nang magsalita siya ulit.

“Wala kaming pera para sa mga ganiyan.”

“Why not? Thatʼs exciting. Youʼll enjoy for sure.” He tried to convinced me.

“Gusto ko man pero hindi kaya ng budget ko, Klead. I donʼt have money. Masaya nga pero mabubutas naman 'yong bulsa ko.” Paliwanag ko.

“You mean, you never experienced to join or attend any field trip before?”

Napabuntong-hininga ako sa sinabi niya. Hindi ba halata sakaniya na wala akong pera? Edi sanaol mayaman.

Umiling ako.

“Are you f cking serious, Ella?”

“Yes, why?” Natawa ako sa reaksyon niya.

Umiling siya. “Nothing, I just canʼt imagine that. You really never experienced that for your entire life?”

“Oo nga, sabi. Hindi nga ako kasing yaman mo.”

“You should go, Ella. You deserve it.”

“Yeah, I really deserve it but my money doesnʼt.”

I saw him touching his jaw. He really canʼt believe. Tho, naexperience ko naman na mag field trip pero hindi nga lang dahil sa school. Kami mismo ni Baste ang gumala.
