Born in Pain

Chapter 9

'In Their Territory'

SEITANA'S POV

Clearly, Emptiness was all I felt as I walked through the halls of Williamson. Everyone's gazes was following me and murmurs everywhere are very loud in my ears. It was only the second day of the Inter-School and I don't know what's about to happen. But I felt more at ease since the competition would be held for the first time in the grounds of Saji University.

Every school was very nervous to enter the dark pits of hell, Some we're excited, Some we're waiting for things to go wrong and some are just silent. I had to go to school alone since I never answered any of the messages I received yesterday.

I saw the buses for the Varsity making a park infront which means that we are ready to go to SU. It's been quite a while since I last visited the school, Well except for the hospital. I'm very excited to once again roam around my home, The only place I can consider home despite the memories.

I step foot on the bus for varsity and there I saw everyone's gazes on me.

"Ms. Fernandez! We heard what happened, Makakalaro ka pa ba?" tanong sakin ni Coach so I nodded.

"Gaganahan yan coach, No worries. Teritoryo nya ang pupuntahan natin!" malokong sabi ni Riggs kaya naman napailing ang kambal niya at siniko siya.

Umupo ako sa tapat ng kambal at wala akong binalak na makatabi kaya inilagay ko ang bag ko doon. First time to, Na may ibang mga estudyante ang makakapasok sa school namin. I bet every Sajian right now is standing tall and proud in the grounds of the school while welcoming visitors, Cause this will be the first time the SU will be treated as an equal school and normal school like others.

Nobody knew how long we've waited for the day to come where we can feel normal, Where we can feel like we are included. Out of all the schools in the district? SU was the most belittled one, SU was the most excluded one.

But they don't even know half of the things we do for everybody.

They don't know shit about the things we do.

"Since wala tayo sa teritoryo natin, I suggest you all to be at your best behavior." striktong sabi ng coach ng Basketball team kaya nagsitanguan kami except sa ibang basketball players na naglolokohan.

Lahat sila natigilan ng makapasok ang bus namin sa mismong gate ng school, Sinalubong kami ng napakataas na mga building para sa bawa't department. May pang elementary, High school at college. Lahat sila ay tahimik at namanghang napadungaw sa labas ng mga bintana nila.

Saji University was very different from any other school in the district, From it's interior to it's exterior design. It has a wide ground open for everyone, Fountain in the middle and different open grounds for us to work.

Nasa iisang lugar ang paglalaruan, Don na lahat ng courts. Sports Ground is where every Court for different sports even the board games. Sabay sabay na bumaba ang bawat eskwelahan sa mga bus nila tsaka kami sinalubong ng mga estudyante ng SU na pormal na nakatayo sa harap namin at nakalinya silang lahat kasama ng mga guro at ng dean ng school which is Mr. Jin Saji.

"Ahh! Welcome students, Since this is the first time for everyone to enter our walls then we shall assist you to our sports ground. ¡Ayúdalos!" sigaw ni Mr. Jin kaya nagsimula ng maglakad ng sabay sabay ang mga studyante ng SU at sumunod kami.
