My Guardian Devil (On-Going)

Chapter 23: Foundation Day

Mahimbing pa akong natutulog nang biglang may malakas na tunog na nagpamulat sa mga mata ko. What the hell is going on? Umagang umaga may nagda-drums?! Nakita ko sina Kiara na naka silip sa bintana, tinignan ko rin kong anong nando'n.

Kaya pala maingay. Ang aga ng parade ng band club. Band majorettes are dancing gracefully and lively along with the music that the musicians are making. Ang gaganda nilang tignan.

"Yieee! I'm so excited for later!" Kiara squealed. Wait, what? Late? May occasion ba?

"What's up later?"

"Hindi mo alam? It's foundation day! One of the most fun event of the school each year!" pumapalakpak pa si Kiara, para talaga siyang bata.

*Bang*

Parang tatalon mula sa dibdib ko ang puso ko nang marahas na bumukas ang pinto ng kuwarto.

"SWEETIEPIE! COME WITH ME!" It was Makki. Jeez, doesn't he knows how to knock? Parang masaya ata ang mokong na 'to. Hinawakan niya ang kamay ni Anika tyaka hinila niya ito balabas ng kuwarto.

After they left. A disgustingly handsome man was left standing at the door. His piercing blue eyes caught me off guard again.

"Sana makaabot sila sa booths mamaya." natauhan naman ako sa boses ni Kiara.

"What booths?"

"Each clubs are assigned to organize their own booths. Ours in the dance club is, we're going to host a tiktok dance competition."

"Kung uma-attend ka sana ng meeting, alam mo sana 'yan." nagulat ako nang kinaladkad ako ni Lucian palabas ng kuwarto.

"Hoy lalake ka! Ano ba sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo?!" pinagtitinginan kami ng mga tao dito sa loob ng dorm. At itong mokong naman na 'to mukha namang walang pakialam.

"Kanina pa nag-start mag-set up ang art club sa booth natin. And I won't tolerate a stacking member." sabi pa niya. Oo nga pala, siya nga pala ang president sa club na 'yon.

"I didn't want to join that stupid club in the first place."

"Okay. I'll let you go back to your room and let you have your beauty sleep. But don't blame me if you'll have low grades due to lack of participation." he said with a blank expression and walked away.

Damn it! Hanggang sa club participation, may grades parin? Pambihira talaga. Kung alam ko lang nung una pa na ang lalaki na 'yon ang president ng art club, sana hindi na ako sumali do'n. But right now, hindi ko na mababawi 'yon.

"Hoy! Hintay!" tinawag ko siya pero hini man lang niya ako nilingon. Tsk, what a jerk, ni hindi man lang ako hinintay.

Pagdating namin sa school grounds, bumungad kaagad samin ang maraming estudyante. Busy silang lahat sa pag-aasikaso ng mga booths nila. I don't like crowded places but looks like I don't have a choice. Sumunod lang ako sa kanya sa area ng arts club. Everyone was busy cutting papers and decorating the place.

"Oh? Anong tinatayo-tayo mo riyan? Trabaho na." humarap si Lucian sa'kin at tyaka inabutan ako ng gunting. Tinignan ko lang siya ng masama. He have some big nerves to boss me around. Pasalamat talaga siya na may grades 'to.

So, i just sat there cutting hearts and flowers from construction papers. It just surprise me how students of phoenix high exerts effort on celebrations like this. I thought they'll just slack off and do nothing. Well, I'm not judging, that's just what I've heard. In fact mas ma-effort pa nga sila sa mga previous schools ko eh. Phoenix high just keeps proving the rumors wrong.

But not all of them, some of them are hell'a real. Like the students being dangerous and rouges. Who would of thought that we are in the presence of a Mafia reaper right now, he's just walking freely in this ground without anyone suspecting a thing. Every eye looks at him like he's just a normal student just like everyone else here, well, except for my eyes. I see differently when I look at that hideously hadsome face. I see a man in the shadows, a devil in disguise, and a cold blood wearing a mask. Being a student is just his cover.
