Chapter 2 School

Chapter 1

"Bel, may nagdala ng package para sayo"sigaw ni Aling Melly mula sa ibaba, tindi talaga ng boses niya, nasa second floor na ako nito pero rinig na rinig ko siya kahit nasa pinakababa pa siya.

Minadali ko ang pagkuha sa gamit na nabili ko kahapon. Inilagay ko sa buhok ang iba at hawak ang iba.

Kelangan ko muna isuot ang uniform bago ilagay ung ibang gamit.

Nadatnan ko ang package na sinasabi ni Aling Melly sa gilid ng basurahan ng building.

Kinuha ko iyon at pumunta ng comfort room ng first floor.

I felt the vibration of my watch. Mas nagmadali ako sa pagbibihis.

My watch has an alarm and I'm gonna be late if I don't speed up my move.

Nilakad ko lang papunta ng sakayan, at naghail ng taxi. I can't bring my skateboard baka masira pa iyon. I put my skateboard on my safety bolt.

I closed my eyes when sun hit it. Late na rin kase akong nakatulog dahil sa pag che-check ng possibleng maging kaklase at kaeskwela ko.

There's lot of Mafia Clan who knows kung sino sa kanila ang magiging kaklase ko, at pano ko nalaman?. There was a time that I am hacking a business transaction and a wall surface. I tried breaking it, but when I break it napunta naman ako sa site kung saan nagaganap ang iba't ibang transactions, knifes, guns and even drugs are there.

Hindi ko na nabalikan ang business transaction na iyon dahil sa pagkahooked ko sa site na iyon. Habang nagbabasa kase ako ng mga impormasyon may mga humahabol at nagtatrace din kase sa akin. And that's exciting... Hayy sana araw araw but I got bored kase wala namang nakahuli sa akin.

At dun pumasok si Murfette, my once encounter with him or her leaves me in awe, because in a split second I got numerous virus that totally wreck all of my programs even the back up doesn't work.

Napabili tuloy ako ng bagong laptop.

There are powerful clan of Mafia, na kelangan kong iwasan.

Ayoko namang mamatay pa ng maaga.

I hail the cab that stop infront of me. But before I say where to go, the driver speak.

"I am your service for today and we are heading at the Exellius Academy, the Academy send service for it's students for safety and ensuring purposes"

I didn't answer and the car moved to it's way to the Exellius Academy.

The ride is fast but I sit pretty here in the backseat, mas matulin pa nga ang kaya ko kaysa sa pagmamaneho ni kuyang driver.

Napatalon ako ng kaunti ng biglang may lubak na nadaanan. I moved a little bit on the left when I felt sharp thing on my right leg.

I hummed songs while dodging some knifes on the seat.

I can feel the eyes of the driver on me. Hindi naman nagtagal at nakarating kami sa isang maitim at malaking gate. The Exellius Academy is carved on the upper part and coated in gold.

I bet that's true gold.

"Whoo"sabi ko at pinunasan gamit ang braso ang pawis sa noo ko, pinagod ako ng ride na iyon ah.

When I get off the car, it drive away. Ang tulin naman umalis ni Manong, mag papasalamat pa ako hindi na tuloy niya narinig.

"Salamat sa paghatid"I said while waving to the car.

I can see other students also getting off the car. Some has holes on their clothes, some has blood and some are fresh not like me, ang haggard ko na.

"Excuse me miss, don't block the way"boses ang nagpagising sa diwa ko.

Napatingin ako sa lalaking nasa harapan ko na nang hindi ko napapansin.

"Sorry"I said then moved to the side.

He walked towards the gate, on the side where a screen is located.

"Insert your card"the monitor says and he insert a card then the gate open.

Oh, that's like a pass.

I get my card and move on the screen.

"Insert your card"

I insert my card on the hole below the screen. My card entered and immediately came out. Same time that the gate open.

I can see red lights on the gate, scanning my body.

When the scanning is done. I run to catch up to the man earlier.

"Hey"I said when I caught up with him.

Nakita ko ang pagkunot ng noo niya pero hindi man lang tumingin sa gawi ko.

"Ang serious mo naman po"I said while glancing at his reactions, as of now wala pa naman akong nakikitang signs na papatayin niya ako.

Napatingin ako sa mga kasabay naming studyante. Some has company, pero meron din namang mag isa lang.

May dress code sigurong silang sinusunod. There are groups of students wearing blue ties, red ties, yellow ties. Napatingin tuloy ako sa uniform ko.

All black. Longsleeve and pleated skirt. It has vest with gold linings. And the black heeled shoes for girls.

For boys naman, tinignan ko ang suot ng katabi kong lalaki.

Black longsleeve with a vest and gold linings. And a blank pants with black shoes.

The difference is girls wears neck tie while boys wear bow tie, sa totoo lang mukha silang waiter.

Napahagikhik ako, pero agad ring napatigil ng biglang humarap sa akin ang katabi kong lalaki.

His black eyes. Those well trim and clean cut hair. Fair skin and looks smooth. Pointed nose and red lips.

The eyebrows that's questioning why I laugh.

"Ahh wala wala"I said while waving my hands. But moment later.

"I have a question"I said and raised my hand bago pa man niya ilayo ang tingin sa akin.

"Yes"

"Bakit iba iba kulay ng ties ng bawat studyante, at asan ung atin?"

"First of all, when you see someone having neck tie or bow tie, it means they are already studying in this school for the past years. About the ties, it will be given to us later at the announcement"he said then eyed all the students. Napatingin rin tuloy ako sa paligid.

True to what he say, merong may suot, pero meron ring wala. At karamihan pa sa walang suot ay may sira ang damit o may sugat.

"Bago ka lang diba, how did you know that?"I ask staring straight at his eyes, baka ginogoyo lang ako ng lalaking ito.

"An announcement was posted on the page of school, regarding the ties and the other rules but it will be discussed later"

He seems a trustworthy person. So I let it slide, eventhough I know, nothing was posted on school page. My watch will vibrate if a notification is up and I checked the page before I rode the car. I nodded to him and tear my gaze away. Ayokong makita niya ang galit sa mga mata ko. Nauna na siyang naglakad sa akin.

Muli kong napagmasdan ang dami ng estudyante, mukhang mahihirapan akong hanapin siya ah.

Gustong gusto ko talagang makita si Murfette bukod sa pinaka-magaling siya.

I am entitled being a child of Murfette, tatlo kaming anak niya. Tatlo kaming kinikilalang anak niya. But some are saying that they are a child of Murfette eventhough it is not true. Pinaghirapan ko ang pagiging anak niya at ngayong taon magaganap ang pagpasa sa kanyang titulo. The next Murfette because Murfette plans to retire.

"Jeremie Escalante"I said that made him stop walking.

He turned around I saw a glimpse of smirk on his face but fade when he fully face me. He arch his eyebrows, I can't see shock on his eyes instead proud. Proud of what?.

Well, maybe knowing each other name is common here.

"I am here because I am finding my heir"he said then turn around and leave me.

Ilang taon na kaya iyon?, usaping tigapagmana na eh, but somehow in this world nothing is impossible.
