"Okay that's for today, I'll see you tomorrow. Goodbye class" sabi ng teacher namin sa IWRBS kaya medyo feeling malinis ako ngayondahil about religion ang lesson.
"Goodbye Mr. Pangilinan" bati namin pabalik.
"Uyy Jazz uwian na sabay tayo?" Tanong ni Nicole pero umiling ako.
"Nah, we can't. May klase pa kami sa Aureum Section eh" sagot ko kaya napanguso ang loka-loka.
"Ganun? Sayang naman, pero sige. Goodluck nalang sayo bhie, karagdagang pagod sa iyong beauty" tumatawang sabi niya kaya inirapan ko siya. Lumingon ako sa upuan ng kaklase ko pero wala na siya, di manlang nang alok kung gusto ko sumabay.
Lumabas na ako ng classroom tsaka nagsimulang maglakad papunta sa room namin nang makarinig ako ng tawag mula sa isang boses.
"Jazz!" Lumingon ako at di ako nagkamali, it's Clyde may hawak siyang ice cream at dinidila-dilaan yun ganun din si Chanel pero de cup yung kanya, naul rich kid.
"Ssup Jazzy" bati ni Chanel nang makalapit sila sakin.
"What's up din Chaneeeel" natawa sila sa pagkakasabi ko sa pangalan niya kaya bahagya din ako natawa.
"You're funny" mahinghing sabi niya sabay hagod ng buhok niya, ngayon ko lang napansin may hairclip pala siya sa magkabilang side ng ulo kaya nagmukha siyang si Jennie ng blackpink.
"Sabay na tayo pumunta sa Aureum" sabi ko at sumunod naman sila sakin, tahimik kaming naglakad papunta sa classroom at nang malapit na kami doon ay nakita namin si Sketch na kakadating lang din, he was about to open the door but Clyde interrupted him by calling his name.
"Scratch!" Tawag sa kanya nito pero...Hanu! Sino si Scratch?.
"Hello Scratch, good day" malaking ngiti ang ibinigay ni Clyde sa kanya pero he just gave the three of them a dead stare.
"It's Sketch" malamig na pagtatama niya.
"Oww sorry I thought it was Scratch, your name is unique" patuloy na pagsasalita ni Clyde but Sketch didn't give a sh*t, basta lang siya pumasok sa room. Bastos.
"Why he's masungit? What the two of you think?" Tanong sa amin ni Clyde.
"Maybe he's tired or stressed or maybe kind of busy, hayaan nalang na'tin siya" nakangiting sagot ni Chanel kaya ngumuso si Clyde.
"Okie! Pasok na tayo I want to see our classmates na kamukha ni Pikachu just like you" sabi niya sabay turo samin kaya kumunot noo ko. Pikachu? Mukha ba akong naglalabas ng kuryente mula sa blush on?
"Loko yun ah" kunot noo kong sambit, napatingin ako Kay Chanel kasi tumatawa siya ng mahina.
"Bat ka natatawa? Eh sinabihan tayong kamukha ni Pikachu ng lalaking yun?" Tanong ko and she chuckled.
"Well Pikachu is not bad, he's cute and fluffy" apaka positibo naman ng isang ito, ganun ba kabait ang isang toh?
"Napaka naive mo naman" Sabi ko sa kanya tsaka kami pumasok Ng room.
Di nagtagal dumating din si Sir. Kiel, he still wearing his sweet smile as he enter the class and put on the top of his tables yung iPad na hawak niya.
"Good day class!" Masiglang bati niya, tumayo naman kami at bumati pabalik.
"Good day Sir!"
"So.....what you guys want to do?" Napaatras ang ulo ko sa tanong niya, so ano?! Kami magdedecide kung ano magaganap samin ganun.
"Excuse me? What do you mean?" Maarteng tanong ni Winter.
"Ang sabi ko ano gusto niyong gawin sa araw na ito. I have nothing to discuss kaya tinatanong ko kayo" sagot ni Sir.
"So that's it? Pinasok niyo kami rito para magsayang ng oras?" Malamig na tanong ng isang boses na nanggaling sa likuran namin, it's Sketch.
"Pagsasayang ba ng oras ang tawag mo sa paggawa ng mga bagay na gusto mo iho?" Tanong ni Sir sa kanya.
"No, but we're not here to do what we want. We're here for a responsibility and that is to work hard to represent our school" sagot ni Sketch.
"Then you think your responsibility is to be a almost perfect kid ganun ba?" Tanong ulit ni Sir.
"Isn't that's the only thing the adults want us to do? Be good at our study? Because if we don't, we're nothing" napaawang ang bibig ko sa walang takot niyang sagutan kay Sir, it's very straight to the point.
"No kid, that's not the reason why you're here on our section. All of you are here not because you have to shoulder our school's name, but to let yourselves improve what you want and love to do" huminto si Sir at naglakad palapit samin.
"Tama ka, sa society na ito kadalasan sa mga batang gaya ninyo ay iningugudngud sa pag-aaral ng mas nakakatanda, binibigyan kayo ng iba't ibang klaseng aktibidad at gawain, to the point na di niyo na mahanap ang sarili ninyo, kung ano ba totoo niyong gusto para sa mga buhay ninyo"
"And that's what our section want to change, kailangan niyong mahanap ang sarili ninyo, pagsikapan at buuin ito. In that way di lang kayo magiging masaya, you'll be also learn sa mga mata-tackle ninyong mga problema" he said kaya napatango ako, oo nga naman mula pagka bata I mean Mula elementary samu't saring gawain ang pinapagawa samin. They asked us to draw, to dance, to sing or even to act na hindi naman yun ang gusto namin and dahil doon nagkakaroon ng pagkalito sa isipan tungkol sa kung ano ba talaga ang gusto naming gawin.
"What if that idea will make a huge problem? As you can see not all of us is responsible, what if some of us commit mistake or failing? Can those thing can fix what is broken or what will be break?" Tanong ni Sketch.
"Mistakes and failing are part of a story" maiksing sagot ni Sir. Kiel.
"If you fail something, then try again. It's better to fail that to be a failure. It's okay to have mistake than to be a big mistake" Pagpapatuloy ni Sir kaya gusto kong pumalakpak sa kinauupuan ko.
"Kaya sige na, wag na sumagot. I'll give you 1 hour to do the things you want and love to do, after an hour bumalik kayo dito and we will have a little discussion. And one thing, you can whatever you want but not going outside of our school and hurting anyone, okay? Okay!" Sabi ni Sir tsaka lumabas ng room. Narinig ko ang paggalaw ng isang upuan at nakita kong paalis si Bruce.
"I can't believe this! Is this even real?" Maarteng tanong sa hanging ni Summer.
"Sus! Dami niyo pang arte lumabas nalang tayo mga ugok!" Sabi ni Bruce tsaka lumabas ng room.
"I'll shoot a vlog on the field" Sabi ni Winter tsaka ni-ready ang camera niya and then she leave the classroom.
"Makiki-wifi ako manonood nalang ako bl" sabi ni Sum tsaka huminto nang makitang nakatingin sa kanya si Clarenet.
"Sama ka? Maganda yun" yaya niya dito.
"Ayaw ko! Bakla!" Irap ni Clarenet tsaka umalis at lumabas ng room.
"Imbyerna!" Bakla-baklaang sabi ni Sum tsaka tumingin sakin.
"Ikaw gusto mo?" Alok niya sakin kaya umiling ako.
"Wala akong problema sa bl pero di ako mahilig sa mga series series eh, sorry" casual na sabi ko at tumango siya.
"Okay, Sabi mo eh. See ya" sambit niya habang palabas ng classroom.
"I'll go to science lab, lalaruin ko yung mga lab hamster and frogs!" Excited na sabi ni Clyde habang pinapasok niya sa bag niya ang Pikachu tumbler and pencil case niya.
"Yuck! Eww! Gross!" Reaksyon ni Summer.
"Huh? They're cute! Wanna come too?" Nakangiting tanong ni Clyde.
"No thanks b*tch I gotta go" sabi lang nito sabay labas ng classroom kaya ngumuso si Clyde.
"Ako Clyde sasamahan kita, I can help you sa mga gagawin mo" Chanel said kaya napangiti ng malawak si Clyde.
"Really? Ayos! Come on let's gow!" Masayang sabi niya.
"How about you Jazzy? Sama ka?" Tanong sakin ni Chanel.
"No thanks, may gagawin din kasi ako" totoo naman may plano talaga akong gawin.
"Okay, bye Jazzy" paalam niya.
"Bye Chaneeeel" natatawa kong paalam sa kanya. Tumayo na ako para ayusin gamit ko kaya napalingon ako sa likuran. Bahagya akong natawa nang makitang hinihila ni Thorn si Axis.
"Lika, papakita ko sayo alaga ko" yaya ni Thorn dito pero halata ang pagkaantok sa boses, axis just let him pull him and put his arm on his shoulder while they're living the room. Sana ol papakitaan ng ala-WHAT?! ANO DAW?! Papakitaan ng?
Umiling iling ako sa naiisip ko, jusko kakasama ko ito kay Nicole eh. Dumudumi na din utak ko need ko magsimba. Napatingin ako sa lalaking nakatanaw sa bintana, then I realized kami nalang ang nandito.
"A-Ah di ka lalabas?" Tanong ko sa kanya, he looked at me pero binawi niya din yun sabay lingon ulit sa bintana.
"I can do what I want here" oh sige bahala ka.
"Okay" sabi ko nalang tsaka lumabas na Ng classroom, wala nang masyadong estudyante rito umuwi na kasi halos lahat.
Nagpunta ako sa West building nandun kasi yung dance hall and dahil matagal-tagal na akong walang practice gusto ko mag ensayo, dumaan muna ako sa locker ko para kunin ang gray kong leggings at white plain t-shirt, buti nalang naka rubber shoes ako kaya madali akong makakasayaw.
Nang marating ang dance hall ay agad kong tinungo ang speaker at plinay ang kantang madalas kong ginagamit kapag nagpapractice ako ng solo. Once I clicked the botton I position myself at the middle and then let the song stars.
"Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know it, you're frozen, ooh" I moved my body like I'm part of the air and let the dynamics run on my body
"But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking 'round, thinking I'm going crazy, oh
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
Oh yeah" I leaned on the floor and start to do the following steps.
"Trying hard not to hear, but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that their goal is to keep me from falling, hey, oh
But nothing's greater than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness, I see your face
Yet everyone around me thinks that I'm going crazy
Maybe, maybe
But I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I" everytime I'm dancing, pakiramdam ko napakasaya ko, Ang gaan ng loob ko at wala akong ibang nararamdaman kundi saya.
"Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
You cut me open
And it's draining all of me
Though they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see
I don't care what they say
I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love
I keep
Oh, you cut me open and I
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding love" natapos ang pagsasayaw ko sa step na tila inaabot ko ang bumbilya sa kisame ng dance hall at nanatili ako sa ganung posisyon until I heard loud clap kaya napaayos ako ng tayo.
"Wala pa ding kupas, ang galing pa din talaga" nakangiting puri ni Markus kaya para akong namumulang kamatis.
"Salamat, b-bakit ka andito?" I tried not to stutter pero traydor dila ko, buwakang naman!
"Oh I'm just checking our dance hall, magbubukad na ulit ang mga clubs I'm just checking if everyone's here is okay but then I saw you" sagot niya.
"Sorry ah, di ako nagpaalam na papanoorin kita" he said.
"Okay lang, wala naman yun" totoo naman, it's not a big deal. Pinanood ka lang naman ng crush mo habang naggigiling-giling ka kaya di ka dapat mahiya kang nadimunyo ka talaga!
"Ah sige na aalis na ako, pinapabalik pa kasi kami sa room eh" paalam ko tsaka kinuha ang mga gamit ko.
"Jazz! You look like an angel when you're dancing" sabi niya bago ako makalayo sa kanya kaya natigil ako.
"Thank you! Salamat" nagmamadaling sabi ko at palabas na sana ako sa pinto nang tumambad sakin ang isang babaeng nakasandal sa pader kaya nagulat ako.
"Clarenet ginulat mo ako!" Nakahawak sa dibdib kong sabi.
"Di naman kita ginulat, ninenerbyos ka lang kasi mukhang andiyan crush mo" nanlaki ang mata ko sa sinabi niya.
"A-Ano?!" Tanong ko.
"Crush mo noh? Tropa ko Yan si Markus, ilalakad kita pero libre mo ako milk tea araw araw. Ano deal?" Ayus ah!
"Che! Ewan ko sayo" sabi ko tsaka lumakad sumunod naman siya habang natawa, bwesit na toh di naman kami close tapos lakas niya mangasar.
