The Badass Teacher

29

Leo

Nang dumating ang ambulansya ay hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na sumama. They asked me what's my relationship with her and I told them that she's my teacher.

I am sitting here outside the Emergency Room, waiting for an update in regards with Cleo.

It's been 15 minutes I guess. I'm not sure about it. I can't stop shaking..
Fuck, I need to tell this to my classmates.

Evergreen Hospital. Cleo. Emergency Room. Car Accident. Now.

I'm sure they'll come.

A few minutes later, A man entered the room, it seems like he's a doctor. Why did they call another doctor? 10 minutes ago, 3 nurses rushes inside the room, and then a doctor, and now they called another one?

What's Cleo's state? Is it worse? Oh God, please save Cleo. I'll promise that I'll be good now. Just save her, she doesn't deserve this.

"Leo!!!!" Agad kong nilingon ang tumawag sa akin, it's Sky. He's running towards me, followed by Theo, Max, Cameron, Pierce... all of them, nandito sila lahat.

Hindi ko alam kung ano ang gagawin ko kaya't niyakap ko agad si Theo at inilabas lahat ng luha ko.

"S-she saved me.." I said while tears are running down my cheeks.

"W-what?" I heard Sky asked. I know it's still confusing because they don't know what happened at all.

"H-how come?" Myself, also doesn't know. I'm in a state of confusion right now.

She left me behind? Right? She's gone that time but then she suddenly appeared and saved me from my death.

"I..." I was about to answer when the door bursts open. We looked at the doctor who came out first, followed by the 3 nurses whose pushing a stretcher, and lastly the doctor who came earlier.

What is this all about? We froze on our spot when they stopped infront of us. Silence enveloped us all, staring at each other while taking a heavy breaths.

And then finally, the doctor who came last spoke and took all my energy as he said those unwanted words.

"Time of death: 11:48" agad ako napa-upo sa sahig. Narinig ko ang pagsinghap ng aking mga kaklase, na tila ba hindi naniniwala sa sinabi ng doctor.

Imposible. That's not true!

"Cleo!!!!" Sigaw ni Pierce habang umiiyak, hindi ko na rin napigilan ang aking mga luha at nagpadala narin sa emosyon.

Naririnig ko ngayon ang iyak ng aking mga kaklase, ang kanilang pagsisisi.

"Cleo.." narinig kong bulong ni Max. I saw pain in his eyes, guilt and regrets.

"It should have been me! Cleo! Wake the fuck up!" I said as I stand up and run towards the stretcher. I threw the cloth that was covering her entire body.

Only to see her poor state. She's been treated, but she didn't make it.
I hugged her and shook her to wake her up, but there's still no response.

Pinipigilan na ako ni Xavier at Hunter ngunit ayaw ko pa ring bitawan si Cleo. I can't afford to loose her..
Silence filled the entire hallway, no ones moving, especially Cleo.

"MAXIMILIANO EVERDEEN!" A voice beamed around us and we looked at the owner of it.

We saw an old man along with 3 men. Who are they? Maximiliano Everdeen?

"What's this?!" He angrily asked. Is this the father of Cleo? But he's too old to be a father, grandfather perhaps?

"Lolo!" Nakita ko ang takot sa mga staff at agad silang tumakbo papaalis, sino to? Bakit ba sila tumakbo? Sinong aalalay kay Cleo?!

I saw Maximiliano Everdeen shaking and the 3 men grinning at him.

"You're dead, Dos." They said in union.

"Is this Cleo?!" He asked. Who is he? Tiningnan ko ang aking mga kaklase at may pagtatanong din sa kanilang mga mata.

"I had enough of your games, Cleo!" He shouted and punch Cleo's stomach. We gasped in shock. For fucks sake he punch Cleo!

Can't he see that Cleo's dea--

*cough* *cough*

"Ugh! It hurts!" Fuck! Cleo talked!

"Cleo!" I ran towards her and immediately throw myself to her, she catches me with her right arm.

Agad namang nagsisugod ng yakap ang aking mga kaklase.

"You're alive!" Tuwang tuwang saad ni Sebastian.

"Ouch! My injuries! Stay away from me!" She said and we immediately back away with a smile on our faces.

"We thought we lost you!" Agad na umiyak si Sky sa pagkakasabi niya ng mga salitang iyan.

"Now, now children. Better rest for today, Cleo needs to go." Saad ng kanyang lolo.

Dahan dahan namang humiga si Cleo at inalalayan ng isang lalaki na kasama ng kanyang lolo.

Sino ba ito?

Dinala na ng Doktor si Cleo sa kanilang pupuntahan.
Napa-upo naman sa sahig ang iba dala ng kaba.

Akala talaga namin wala na si Cleo. Ano ba namang trip niya?

"Sorry, children. I didn't mean to be rude. I am Lucilfer Kershaw, grandfather of Cleo." Pagpapakilala sa amin ng kanyang lolo.

"Zenitsu Yamashito, nice to see you again, Elijah." Saad ng lalaking seryoso, nakita kong napasinghap si Elijah. Kilala ba ito ni Elijah?

"I am Maximus Everdeen. First born." Pagpapakilala ng lalaking nakasuot ng salamin.

"I am Maximilian Everdeen. Third born." Pagpapakilala din ng lalaking umalalay kay Cleo kanina.

Maximilian huh.

"The doctor who assisted Cleo was Maximiliano Everdeen, they are triplets." Said Mr. Kershaw.

"We're the students of Cleo." Pagpapakilaa din sa amin ni Theo sa kanila. Ngumiti naman ang lolo ni Cleo na para bang alam niya na kung sino kami.

"I know you're worried about her, but you should all go home now. It's already midnight, the road is dangerous." Pansin kong palaging nakangiti ang lolo ni Cleo maliban na lang kanina.

"All of your questions will be answered soon and I'm afraid Cleo won't be working till monday. Keep safe, Cleo's not well for the mean time." Yumuko siya sa amin ganon din ang tatlo sa likod, huh? Anong ginagawa nila?

"Good bye." Nakita kong yumuko rin si Hunter. Ginaya na lang din naming lahat.

Ngumiti muli sila sa amin at naglakad na papaalis. Nakatingin lang kami sa kanila.

He stopped walking, so does the three. "Oh! I nearly forgot about it." He said while looking at us with a smile in his face. "Some people only care when you're gone."

And with that, they left.
