Chapter 14: Spectacular

"Life is a circus ring, with some moments more spectacular than others."

                     – Janusz Korczak

Nakatingin lang ako kay Sir Febbie na kinakausap si Miss Kat.

"Ano sa tingin mo ang pinag-uusapan nila Selene?"

Napalingon ako kay Gyeong.

"Maybe about the star section." walang gana kong sambit at muling lumingon sa kanila pero katatapos lang nilang mag-usap, at naglakad na si Sir Febbie sa stage floor at si Miss Kat nama'y umupo na sa upuan nito na nasa kanang bahagi ng lalaki. Umupo na rin ang principal na nasa kaliwang bahagi, at si Yuan na nasa gitna, sa likod ni Sir Febbie.

"Okay students, I am so sorry for what had happened awhile ago, but it was already solved. Thanks to Miss Martin." panimula ng lalaki at itinuro ako. Kaya nama'y nasa akin ang atensiyon ng lahat.

Ganyan ba siya? Parehang-pareha sila ni Min at ni Matthew. Medyo mahilig sa exposures. Really he was like that before pero ngayon hindi na nga lang while Matt is extrovert. He wants an exposure. As what I have discovered.

"Ang galing mo talaga." rinig kong sambit ni Shin.

Napangiti na lang ako at hindi lang kumibo.

"So we will continue what we had begin."

Napaisip ako sa sinabi ni Sir.

Kailangan ba talagang tapusin ang nasimulan? Well, maybe yes. A coward person believes that he need to continue what he had begin even it was wrong. But for a strong and wise person, what you had begin will continue as long as it was good.

"Dear students, I'd entered you in star section because each one of you have different skills. Kumbaga kayo na ang pinakamagaling na estudyante sa buong senior high and even the whole campus."

Napatingin ako kay Nicolas na siyang pumalit sa pangalan namin kina Coby at Yang. So hindi talaga kami kasali sa star section. Not to mention that they did not consider us one of the best students here.

"At nalaman kong ipinalit ni Nicolas ang pangalan nila Selene at Min kina Coby at Yang. But even you didn't do it, they are still consider as one of the students in star section." puna ng lalaki.

Everyone gasps.

"Talaga? Ginawa yun ni Nicolas?"

"So hindi talaga para sa star section sina Selene at Min?'

Napairap na lang ako. Sino bang hindi magugulat sa sinabi ni Sir Febbie na ang isang "Nicolas Mabini" ay magagawa yan? Tsk.

"Silence!" sigaw ng lalaki kaya tumahimik ang lahat.

Maliit ang population namin, but it seems we are more than 30 students because of their radio mouths. Ang sarap lagyan ng tape. That's why I hate noisy people pero naiintindihan ko sila. I understand noisy people if they are noisy because for a reason not without a reason.

"So, ano ang punto mo?" seryosong sambit ni Min kaya napalingon ako sa kanya.

Hoy Min, don't talk to him like that. Maaaring siya ang tunay niyong ama ni Matt. Tumawa si Sir Febbie na umalingawngaw sa buong auditorium.

"You never failed me Min." wika nito. Umupo ang lalaki sa kulay red niyang upuan.

"You will be an exchange students in West Philippine Academy for 2 weeks." turan nito.
