Chapter 32
Rule Number Six and Seven

November

PAGKATAPOS ng undas break, sinumulan agad ng section C ang pakikipag 'transaction' sa Section B para sa gagawin naming bug project sa Foundation day.

"WINSTON!" I almost yelled.

He turn around and look at me with this look again. The empty look.

Nandito kami sa corridor. Naghahabulan. Buong high school year ko naman talaga, naghahabulan kaming dalawa.

Kanina kaseng umaga, pinuntahan na ako mismo ng EIC para talaga sabihan na kapag December wala pa akong napasang article malilintikan na daw ako sa adivser namin. January kase ay processing na ang pag print ng school paper and at the end of Feb ay may may hawak na kaming school paper.

"Busy ka?" Saad ko ng maabutan ko sya. Sabay na kaming naglalakad at hindi ko alam kung saan kami papunta.

"Bakit?"

"I need to talk to you."

"You're talking me already."

"Pilosopo. Importante nga ito."

"Tungkol saan?"

"Sa school paper."

"And so?"

"Be my future, Winston. I mean my Feature." Perks of being a journalist ha!

"What if I say I don't want to?" wow nananakot ba sya?

"Hoy wag naman. Consider this as 'fan service' for your loyal admirer. Ang tagal tagal ko na kaya itong gustong itanong sa'yo kaso iwas ka ng iwas. Kapag lalapit ako sa'yo, liliko ka. Para bang may nakakahawa akong sakit. Now that I'm talking to you, you always answer a word! Just. A. Word! Panong conversation ba gusto mo?!" I ranted.

"Higit dalawang salita na kaya ang sinasagot ko sa'yo ngayon. And besides, you're so talkative. I mean, mumble here mumble there  muble everywhere. You're getting into my nerves." Saad n'ya at binilisan ng konti ang lakad.

"Oh my gosh. I'm close to your heart. I'm on your system already yieee. Siguro napapanaginipan mo na ako." Panunukso ko sa kanya.

"Yes, I'm dreaming of you and I hate it." He said without hesitation.

"Romantic siguro yon ano?"

"Nope, that's nightmare."

"Hala? May monster?"

"Fucking monster. You keep on talking a lot and telling me to smile keeping my day and your everywhere at di ako makatulog." He even act he's closing his ears like he really don't want to listen on me.

"Kasalanan ko bang journalist ako, madaldal ang mga journalist. Confidently madaldal. Masanay ka na. I mean yeah. I don't fit on your standards tho. I'm not sophisticated, not silent type-"

"Who told you that?" He suddenly asked.

"BM did. And i understand-"

"And you really believe that? Fucking B-"

"Your mouth, Mr. Ponce." Pagbabanta ko sa kanya.

"Ok fine I'll shut up."

"Hindi ko sinabing mag shut up ka. I'm just telling you to stop saying bad words." depensa ko.
