Chapter 9

"Ma, dad, mauna na po ako."

"Bakit hindi ka naka-uniform, anak? Wala kayong pasok?" Pagtatanong ni mommy.

Tiningnan ko ang suot ko. Napa high waisted pants lang ako at naka tuck in ang v-neck shirt ko. Naka rubber shoes lang rin at nag headband.

"Club events po kasi ngayon sa school namin kaya walang pasok." Mahinang sagot ko at ngumiti. My mom gave me a smile as well and nodded, suddenly my dad arrived from the upstairs.

"Kung walang pasok bakit ka pa pupunta do'n? It's just an event. I don't think all students are required to join that." He's saying those words every step that he make.

My smile faded on my face when he talked. "All students are required, dad. It's for everybody to enjoy and take a break."

He averted those gaze on me. I looked away, trying to avoid it. The house sent silent again for a hundred times whenever he talked having a serious conversation.

"Angelo, it's part of Celestine's acads. She can join whatever she wanted and she will go there and attend that event." My mom answered for me. I felt at ease.

"I just can----"

"Enough of your words and make a way for her. It's getting late. She will be late in school, Angelo." I tried to calm myself.

Lumingon sa akin si mommy at tinanguan ako nang hindi na nagsalita si dad. Umalis ako nang tahimik at nag paalam sa kanila ng maayos bago nakalabas.

Hindi naman gano'n si mommy kasi sumusunod lang rin naman siya kung anong desisyon at sasabihin ng daddy. Siguro ngayon lang 'to dahil na rin sa nangyari kahapon kaya nakakaya niyang sagutin ang daddy, sa ngayon. Lilipas rin ang tampuhan nila ilang araw lang.

Kanina pa ako tinitext ni Camille at naghihintay kaya nagmadali akong tumungo s filed. Pagdating, ang daming estudyanteng nagkalat palibot dito. Maingay, magulo at masikip, ang init pa ng araw kaya sobrang hassle, stress at nakaka tamad.

"STUDENTS, please be quiet and make a straight line according to your courses!"

Every students couldn't contain their excitement as we gather in the field. The campus president is talking in front for some announcement and directions. After his opening remarks and speeches of the Dean, we can now go to our respective club rooms.

"Every classroom ay may nakalagay na pangalan ng clubs sa may pintuan. You are the one to find for your selected clubs that you have written on the paper that we have you last week. Kung kayo naman ay may sinalihang dalaa o tatlong club, maari muna kayong mag-paalam sa mga officers ng naka assigned sa clubs na 'yon para alam nila na kayo ah may ibang clubs na pupuntahan at para ms-determine agad kung saan at anong club kayo sasalihin to avoid misunderstandings!"

'Yung mga kasama mo naman dito, hindi rin mapigilan ang excitement at nagtatalo talon pa sa tuwa. Kaya hindi ko rin napipigilan ang mga ngiti at tawa ko e.

"Good luck, guys. Let's just meet later for break time, okay?" Malawak ang mga ngiti ni Amy nang humarap sa amin.

"Break a leg, guys. Let's just meet after." Marie added before we parted ways.

Humarap si Camille sa akin para kausapin ako. "Gel, ano, mamaya nalang ah. Kita tayo. Goodluck sa'yo."

I hugged her. "Good luck rin sa'yo."

I first went to the History club and wrote my name for the attendance. Wala pa naman rin tao dahil ang iba ay nasa obang clubs rin para mag attendance. Dumaan rin muna ako ng photography club for attendance, dito maraming tao. Kanya kanyang dala ng mga camera nila at karamihan ay nagkwekwentuhan. Shocks, ako lang ata ang walang kakilala rito. Makaalis na nga muna at magtungo sa history.
