"I.D?" Asked the strict lady guard. I showed my I.D and opened my bag for her to easily check my things.
"Pasok." She said in an authorized tone.
Nagmadali na akong pumasok sa school at mabilis na tinahak ko ang daan papunta sa unang klase ko. Kay aga - aga may nag-umpukan na naman sa school bulletin board.
What can you say? People are more excited to read the latest issue than reviewing their subjects.
Don't mind. Don't care.
It's always been like this.
Inayos ko na ang nerd glasses ko at mas binilisan ang paglalakad ko. Iba na ngayon kapag senior high, pass the exams or get a life.
Survival mode kaming lahat dahil last year na namin to and last year para na namin para maka-move on na sa bagong chapter ng buhay namin.
I checked my watch and it's almost 7:30 am. Goodness, ang bagal bagal kasi ng jeep kanina.
"Amegadzaaai!" Nagulat ako nang may umakbay sa akin.
"Zoe!" Napasinghap ako nang bumeso siya sa akin, buti na lang walang tao sa hallway sa science building. "Tumigil ka nga, para kang timang diyan." Sita ko sa kanya, patuloy pa rin kami sa paglalakad patungo sa Biology class namin.
She hugged my arms, "Tss arte nito." She rolled her eyes, "Ang aga mo ring magbrisk walk ano? Nagmadala ka ata?" She asked.
"Malamang, 5 minutes na lang at late na tayo." I reminded her. She's not aware of the time guys..pagpasensyahan.
"Di nga? 7 am pa yung nasa orasan ko nung pumara ako ng jeep eh." She said.
I silently rolled my eyes.
"Uuy nga pala, grabe bes! Pak na pak na naman uli ang tsismis ngayon." She started.
Pumasok na kami sa classroom, pero nakita naming nagsitawanan at nagtsismisan pa ang mga kaklase namin. Wala pa ata yung teacher.
Umupo na ako at nakasunod lang si Zoe sa akin, "Alam mo ba, ang anak ng chairman ng school ay may ginawang kabalbalan!"
"Oh tapos?" I asked.
"Nakunan na may pinaiyak na babae, at napagalamang hindi na bumalik pa ang babae sa school...like evah."
I sighed. "Tsismis na naman?"
"Uy di ah! It's true kaya." She sat back and crossed her arms, proudly sitting like a princess on her chair.
"How can you say that, hmm?" I raised a brow and grabbed my bio book and started to turn the pages.
"Because I know that Black Widow is the truth and she or he is amazing! Daig pa niya si Kira sa deathnote kung makasagap ng issues!"
"I'm that person's number one fan. Akalain mo, no one knew about her--him--whatever," she rolled her eyes, "No one can track her, as in like...she's a ninja. Walang maka-crack or hack ng account niya. And no one can stop Black Widow."
"Yeah right."
"Ano kaya mangyayari noh? Ano na kaya mangyayari sa Newspaper Club? I mean, I don't want to insult your club, Valerie kay?" She said.
"Ahum.." I nodded without looking at her.
"But, without Black Widow, your newspaper would be a...poof."
"MISS COSIM, IF YOU MIND?" Said our Bio teacher. "It's early in the morning at pagtsi-tsismis ang inaatupag mo."
"Sorry sir." She said.

Genç KurguI was looking for a scoop around the campus, along with my camera. Mahirap talaga makakuha nang magandang kuwento. Click dito, click doon. Appreciating the scenery, inspired by the students making their way to success, and lastly... A perfect issue...
