My Amusement Trail ( Alca Penguña Series #1 )

Chapter 11

Klouie
Inlove

Without flinching, I wholeheartedly embraced the intense gaze of Lina. Her presence exuded a heightened sense of danger, as she tightly clenched her fist in a display of furious indignation.

"You think you won?" She asked almost whisper in gritting teeth while passing by my seat.

"Don't be complacent, Angeles. This is your only day..."

Hakdog.

Huminga ako ng malalim at hindi na pinakinggan ang mga bulong-bulong niyang puno ng poot para sa akin. She left our room with my other roommates, leaving me all alone myself in the corners.

She's so bitter.

Ang sarap nilang pag-umpugin ni Marem dahil hind sila marunong tumanggap ng pagkatalo at magbabanta na parang sila lang dapat ang magaling. Paano naman kasi siya mananalo laban sa akin kanina kung ang point ng rebuts niya ay malayong malayo sa mismong pinaglalaban niya? Ang tanga-tanga, hindi ginagamit ang utak.

I defeated her in the little debate we had with Atty. Reals, which truly provided the both of us extra credit for our outstanding effort.

Pareho lang naman kami ng score pero ang tangang utak niya ay ayaw tanggapin na lang iyon. Manalo matalo sa amin, ganoon pa rin naman ang aabutan.

Atsaka kaninang first period pa 'yon tapos hanggang ngayon ay hawak niya pa rin ang inis niya sa akin. Hindi maka move on ang hangal.

Pinapainit niya ang ulo ko.

"You did great earlier." Gajji smiles at me again before leaving.

Nang ako na lang ang natira sa loob ay nagpasya na akong lumabas. 12 pm na at wala na kaming pasok mamaya. But I guess I have to be here all around since Miss Attorney still needing my assistance.

I was about to take off my specs when my phone beeped for a text message. Sandaling natigilan ako nang makita ang Miss Attorney contact name na naka rehistro sa akin. My heart flutter.

Binuksan ko agad at binasa ang text nya.

From: Miss Attorney

Proceed to the music club after lunch. We need to give an attention the new members.

Oh, akala ko kung ano na.

To: Miss Attorney

Got it, Miss.

Now I remember what happened earlier in her office. Sandaling uminit ang pisngi ko. It was really too much to handle, and recalling the words she gave me in the parking lot Hindi ko inaasahan iyon. It's still lingering in my head.

I bit the inside of my cheek. Isinawalang bahala ko na lang ang oras nang makarating ako sa Cafeteria. Hinanap ko na lang ang mga kaibigan ko kung nasaan man sila.

The whole gang was at the long table. They were so chaotic and nosy while waiting for our food and didn't even give a care to the people around them. They are like a group of squirrels because of their aggressiveness and bold personalities. Sobrang gulo at hindi mapakali sa kina-uupuan.

"Musta araw mo, Klouie? Kunot noo ka naman." Bahagyang ngumiwi si Hellena sa akin nang makarating ako sa table namin.

"Fine, parang ayaw ko na mag-aral. Nakakatamad pala."

"Give up kana." Si Chasey.

"Malapit na."

Umupo ako sa tabi ni Breggate. Bahagya ko pang naamoy ang ang mabangong aroma ng alak sa uniporme nito. Pambihira.
