My School Days… (Part 2)

My School Days...

‘WHAAAT?!’

Kapapasok ko pa lang sa may gate nang unibersidad ay hinarang na ako nang security guard at sinabi na sumama ako sa kaniya. Nagbutong hinga na lang ako at tumango. Sumunod ako sa kaniya papunta sa kung saan kami pupunta. Bad trip talaga! Umagang umaga ay pinagtitinginan ako nang mga kapwa estudyante nang unibersidad. Naririnig ko ang mga pinag sasabi nila pag napapadaan ako sa corridors nang building na pinasukan ko.

‘Di ba si M yun?’

‘Pataaay, mukhang may atraso nanaman ito kay Ms.Atienza…’

‘Hi!hi!hi!hi! Malamang pag pasok niyan sa ating classroom e busangot ang pagmumukha niya…’

‘Kawawa naman…’

‘E ganiyan talaga kapag ‘teacher’s pet’ ka…’

Yeah right, whatever… Sinabi ko sa sarili ko habang humahakbang papunta sa opisina ni Ms.Atienza. Dumating kami nang security guard sa pintuan, binuksan niya at pumasok na kami. Sa loob ay nandodoon ang secretary ni Ms.Atienza. Si Ms.Joy Dy kagragraduate lang sa unibersidad na pinapasukan ko.

‘Ms.Dy eto na st M.’

‘Thank you, please have a seat M. Ms.Atienza has been expecting you…’

Umupo ako. Goddam it! Why of all the days pa kung kailan pa friday na kung kailan mag sisimula ang weekend ay pinapapunta pa ako sa Prefect’s Office. Well best to bear and get this over with i suppose…

‘Tough luck M, seems that your the flavor of the month with Ms.Atienza.’

‘Uh, not really Ms.Dy… Actually she called me last night and ordered me to see her first thing this morning before going to my first class.’

‘Really now? Well, she’s been on her good side since this morning… and it does’nt seem to get any better.’

‘Huh?!’

‘BZZZZZZZZ!’

‘Ms.Dy has M arrived yet?!’

‘He’s just arrived ma’mm’

‘Send him in, NOW!’

Nagulat ako sa tono nang boses na narinig ko sa intercom. Nasa maganda nga na mood si Ms.Atienza. Tumayo na ako at lumapit sa pintuan. Napatingin ako kay Ms.Dy. Naka ngiti siyang na pigil na mapatawa sa aking magiging kahihitnatnan. Kumatok na lang ako.

‘Knock!knock!’

‘ENTER!’

Pinihit ko ang door knob at pumasok na ako sa opisina niya. Ayun siya sa kaniyang lamesa, nakaupo sa kaniyang upuan na may kausap sa telephono. Ramdam ko ang kunsumisyon ni ms.Atienza. Mukha yatang may importanteng pinag tatalunan nang kausap sa kabila nang linya.

‘I don’t care what you’re other problems are… Just get with it and i’ll handle the other problems about it. Look, it’s either you go with my flow or it’s out you go! You hear me?’

‘BLAG!’

Binagsak niya ang mouth piece nang telephono.

‘You! Get your frigging ass here this instant minute!’

Dali dali akong lumapit sa kaniyang harapan. Tinitingnan ako nang masama talaga. What have i ever done to deserve such a bad morning like this, of all the days pa why this day pa?

M, i’ve just been informed by 2 of your teachers for failing on your quarterly exam. Explain yourself.’

‘No explainantion Ms.Atienza, I guess I did’nt prepare well enough in my reviews with my quarterly exams.’

Nag butong hinga siya at ito ang sinabi sa akin…

‘Since you’re closely related to the owners of this university. It would be an embarrasment if word goes out that you failed 2 important subjects in your college course. Therefore, in order for you to at least reach a passing grade. I’ve made some arrangements on how you’ll be making up for your failure. Starting tonight, you’ll be assisting in the evening event for our alumneas monthly meeting. You’ll be a serving on our guests and teachers meals and drinks for their dinner.’

Nag panting na ang tengga ko, di bale nang bumagsak, di bale nang malaman nang buong unibersidad. ‘Wag lang yun gawain akong utos utusan nila.

‘WHAAATT?!’
