The Ruthless Man's Weakness

01

Looking out the window, I wonder what will be my parents reaction if I said that I am one of our class top achiever. “Woi, Azaria. Congrats nga pala isa ka sa na announce na top 10 achievers. Yieee, magpapacoke na yan”  Yanna said tickling me. Natatawa akong humiwalay sa kanya. “Salamat. Ikaw din baka sa next sem ka makakapasok sa top 10 achievers sa klase natin.” I answered softly. “Naku, hindi yan. Alam ko sa sarili ko na bobo ako.” natatawang sagot ni Yanna. Kinanta pa yung huling sinabi with matching pakumpas pa sa kamay. Napailing nalang ako sa kanyang inasta.

I am currently studying my last year in high school at Trazon National High School. So, basically I'm Grade 12. Taking up the strand Humanities and Social Sciences. My parents are originally from Manila but they decided to move in Baguio.

“Woi, Azaria. Tara na. Recess na, hindi ka pa ba gutom? Ako kasi gutom na.” Yanna said pouting. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya, muntik na akong matawa ng makitang hindi niya bagay magpout. Para siyang naghihintay ng kiss sa prince charming niya kuno. “Aba, tatawanan mo lang ako? Tara na kasi.” daglian niyang hinaklit ang braso ko bago nagpatianod sa kanya papuntang canteen.

I'm really thankful that Yanna became my bestfriend ever since we move here in Baguio. Aaminin ko malaking adjustment ang nangyari sa buhay ko dahil nasanay na ako sa Manila though magkaparehas naman na city iba pa rin pag sa Manila ka lumaki.

My parents were sad of course, but we don't have choice dahil nadestino na si papa dito sa baguio. My father is a Policeman kaya nadedestino siya kung saan. Though I heard that he will be assigned permanently here in Baguio. Kaya wala kaming choice kung hindi sumama.

“Woi, tulaley ka diyan?” napabalik ako sa ulirat dahil sa pagsigaw ni Yanna sakin. “Ha? sorry. I'm just thankful that you became my bestfriend.” Of course, that's Yanna. I bet she will tease me again just because I said that. Nagsisi tuloy ako na sinabi ko yun.

“Hay, alam mo Azaria nung unang lapit ko sayo? Ang tahimik mo, tapos sabi ko ano kaya kung kaibiganin ko tapos gawin kung alila? Kasi mukha kang weakling. Pero syempre joke, joke lang. Lablab kaya kita” natatawang saad niya sa akin.

“Heh, kala ko ba nagugutom ka? Tara na.” I rolled my eyes with what she said. Tumawa lang naman ang impakta at kinaladkad ako papunta sa canteen. Talagang impakta ang babaitang ito, ang sakit humatak ng braso.

Pagpasok namin sa canteen ay bumili na kami ng makakain namin. Pagkatapos noon ay bumalik na kami sa classroom. Doon nalang namin kainin ang nabili namin.

“Guysss, attention!” yan ang unang bumungad sa amin pagkapasok namin ni Yanna. Napatingin naman kaming lahat kay Ella, ang president namin, na nakatayo sa harap. “Yung may-ari ng Trazon National High School ay bibisita bukas dito sa school kaya may general cleaning tayo. Inaasahan ng mga teachers na tayo ang magsisimula ng general cleaning dahil tayo ang mga matatanda. So, guys we need your cooperation. I hope that you get my point. That's all, thank you for listening.”

Everyone groaned because of that. Ano kayang dahilan kung bakit bigla yata bibisita ang mga may ari ng school? Maybe they will just make sure that the school is stil school? I don't know.

“Bakit kaya bibisita ang may ari ng school?” I shrugged because I don't know. Yan din ang tanong ko Yanna.

Umupo nalang kami sa aming upuan at sinimulang lantakan ang mga binili namin habang daldal ng daldal si Yanna. Ewan ko ba sa babaeng ito at hindi nauubusan ng kwento.

I was about to stand up to go the trash bin when our teacher walks in. I panicked, immediately sit down when she roams her eyes like she is looking for someone.

“Good morning class.” she greeted coldly. Sometimes I wonder if she is always like that. Like its a sin not to smile. She always wear a poker face making her students to be scared whenever she is discussing about her lesson.

Though I can say that her way of discussing her lessons is easy to understand that's why I like her. Before starting she check first the attendance before proceeding to our lesson.

She was discussing in front when the SSG president knock on the door, interrupting the whole class. “Excuse me ma'am. Principal said that it's better daw if maaga tayong madismiss para makapag general cleaning tayo.” he said smiling shyly.

Ms. Rose nodded her head before averting her gaze to us. “Okay class. We will continue our lesson next meeting. You're all dismissed. Pero hindi ibig sabihin na uuwi kayo. Remember that you are in Grade 12. Kayo ang magsisilbing role ng mga Grade 11 at Junior high. I hope that everyone will participate in cleaning.” she said before going out.

I just sighed and stared at the blackboard. Dahil sa sinabi ni ma'am ay maraming pumunta agad sa pinaglalagyan ng walis tambo para kumuha.

Since kulang ang walis tambo sa classroom ay napagpasiyahan naming humiram sa kabilang classroom. Yanna was excited beside me while walking. Pano ba kase, makikita niya yung crush niya daw. Naguguluhan na talaga ako sa kanya. Sabi niya nung first day pa lang namin crush niya yung Grade 11 na Gio yata pangalan. Tapos wala pang isang linggo may bago na namang crush. Tapos ngayon iba na naman. Ewan, ang gulo.

Buti nalang talaga hindi ako mahilig sa crush crush na yan. I'm really proud of myself.

Sa buong oras na yun ay paglinis ang ginawa namin. It's already 4 in the afternoon when I decided to go home. I bid goodbye to Yanna first before going home. Malapit lang naman ang bahay namin kaya nilakad ko nalang.

After 30 minutes of walking I got home. Dire diretso lang akong pumasok when I spotted my Mom watering her plants in the backyard. Hindi niya ako napansin kaya tumuloy muna ako sa kwarto ko para magpalit ng damit.

I was tired and exhausted. Inaantok pa ako pero kailangan kong magpalit. Pero hindi ko malabanan ang antok ko, pabagsak akong nahiga sa aking kama nang hindi nakapagpalit hindi pa alam ni mama na naka uwi na ako. Hmm. Bahala na.

I'm really sleepy.
