It Could Mean Nothing To You But It Meant Everything To Me

Montello High Interactive IV: Sixth Floor Hell

AN: Well, at last! They didn't choose pizza this time. Haha!

Poll result: B. Party at the 6th floor. Maybe I should act like a human and not a pizza monster for once.

IV. Sixth Floor Hell

You already expect that the Montello High building is already awesome - you've imagined it for more than a dozen times when you're reading the book. But it still catches your breath when you take in the beauty of its interior. It almost hard to believe that the students here are delinquents that the other elite schools are skeptical to admit them.

Ngunit ang paghanga mo sa building ay bahagyang napawi nang magsimula kayong umakyat ng hagdan. Kung sa 6th floor gaganapin ang party, mukhang mahaba pa ang iyong pagdadaanan. You almost regret eating eight slices of pizza for it feels like your body is too heavy to lift as you climb the stairs.

"You can do it, roommate! We're almost there," paghihikayat ni Jamie.

You almost roll your eyes. If you knew that going to the 6th floor would feel like hiking a mountain, you would've brought lots of trail foods to munch on the way. Dahil sa totoo lang, mas lalo kang nagugutom sa pagod na nararamdaman mo. You aren't that athletic. You prefer sitting on the bed and read your books while eating snacks.

"Paano niyo nagagawang umakyat ng hagdan na ito araw-araw?" habol ang hininga mong bulalas.

Ngumiti lang sayo ang dalawa na tila ba hindi man lang nahihirapan sa pag-akyat ng hagdan.

"We're students of Montello High. Don't worry, you'll get used to it," sagot ni Mirden.

Madilim na ang paligid nang sa wakas ay mapagtagumpayan mo ang pag-akyat ng hagdan. Iniisip mo kung dapat ba ay kumain ka nalang ulit sa cafeteria o kung hindi kaya ay nanatili nalang sa dorm dahil para ka na rin namang pinarurusahan sa puntong iyon. Ngunit naputol ang iyong pagiisip nang hilahin ka nina Jamie at Mirden papasok sa isang pinto. At sa loob nito ay halos malaglag ang panga mo sa nakita. No, it isn't an ordinary classroom. It is a club with tables, dance floor, a playing band, and a bar with bartenders. You can't believe how Montello High could have a place like this or if the authorities here have really no idea of what is happening in the sixth floor. But then, you remember that Montello High is a school for gangsters with Sebastian Freniere as its administrator. This place could get dark however it wants.

Iginiya ka ng mga kasama mo sa isang table. Umalis saglit si Jamie at sa pagbalik niya ay may dala na itong drinks at pagkain. You stared at the nachos and quesadillas in front of you.

"Ito ba yung food na sinasabi mo? For dinner?"

You can't hide your disappointment. Maybe you've chosen the wrong path again this time.

"Foods in the cafeteria are so tiring sometimes, lalo na kapag sawa ka na sa mga pinagpipilian mo sa loob ng limang araw. Good thing, the sixth floor has a party every Friday night."

Ngunit hindi ka pa sawa sa mga pagkain sa cafeteria. Damn! Pizza palang yung natitikman mo and you have a long list to go. Dahil wala ka na rin lang naman magagawa at ayaw mo namang bumaba pabalik sa cafeteria kung saan ay maaaring singilin kang muli sa kakainin mo ay kumuha ka na lang ng quesadillas. To your surprise, it also tastes good. Inilibot mo ang iyong paningin at nakita mong unti-unti nang napupuno ang lugar ng mga estudyanteng tila tinitake advantage ang pagkakataon na ito upang pumorma.

"Hindi ba kayo mapaparusahan dahil dito?" tanong mo.

Umiling si Jamie.

"No, they can't touch us if the powerful students are here. Look at the bartenders sa bar, that is Makki Sison flirting with the girls and the guy with him is Ethan Montreal. They are both members of the Black Government. The vocalist of the band is Jin Cast and its drummer is Brent. Yung isa namang nakaupo sa mesa sa isang tabi ay ang leader ng Dark Monarch na si Zach kasama ang ibang miyembro nila. That is their usual spot so careful not to invade their space. And this kid, who is walking towards us..."
