Chapter 13 - Hot Issue

Another day but I don't know why I'm smiling nga sa katunayan dapat nagrarant ako everyday dahil stressful day...

Oh my goodness Julienne, stop it.

Bumaba na ako after ko mag ayos and I saw them again., no other than the faces na una kong nakikita araw araw. I rolled my eyes when they make bored faces, specifically yung ikalawang ate ko lang, the other one is busy.

But looks like nakita niya ang pag roll ng eyes ko. Oops.

"Sit, Julie. Join us," sabi ni Dad, this is happening lately. Him, being nice and all.

Nag-ehem naman ang ikalawang ate ko, "Tsk, may salot na naman, walking like high and mighty, eh nanalo lang naman sa pipitsuging Cooking contest," pagpaparinig na sabi niya.

"Hush now, don't talk to your sister that way. Cooking is not easy like the way you see it. Julienne did a very good job on winning the contest, but next time Julienne make it more challenging. Do international contest or so," and he continued to eat his breakfast.

"Yes, and isa pa Janine do you even know how to cook? Buti pa nga si Julienne marunong eh," sabi ni kuya Justin,  ang sumbongero kong kapatid na dada ng dada. I'm shocked kase first time pinagtanggol niya ako.

I saw ate Janine rolled her eyes in annoyance. I just smirked until I heard kuya Josiah speak, "Julienne did a great job. It was a famous dish. I heard it was not easy to accomplish based on how it is not originated from this country," and there everyone looked at kuya Josiah.

He's the cold one kase but he complimented me! To think na di pa niya pinuri sina ate even dad. Di ko alam kung ano irereact ko. Somehow,  I feel like I'm a part of this family. Ayokong maiyak but I want to. I can't help but to get teary eye.

Naramdaman ko nalang na may humawak sa kamay ko and it was kuya Jeremy, "Congrats Julienne, keep it up," he smiled at me and asked continue eating his breakfast.

Royal North Academy

Pagkarating namin ay nagpaalam na ako kay Manong and I kinda slip my sight sa gate ng Royal South Academy which is nasa opposite direction ng North.

To my "slight" dismay wala doon si Pervy. Hmm, weird. But then di na ako magtataka, baka busy iyon sa mga babae niya tsk.

"Good morning Queen."

Napatingin ako sa harap at nakita ko si Guard na binati ako, "Good morning kuya guard!" Sabi ko naman at huminto na siya sa pag bow at pinapasok ako.

Another day huh? Di ata ako makakaget over sa Nutrition Month urgh! For the love of fashion!

Tumingin ako sa paligid at lahat nakatingin sakin. Bumati sila and smiled,  I did the same of course but may something. Pagkatapos nilang bumati they will whisper to each other while looking at me.

May nangyari ba? May hindi ba ako alam? May muta ba ako?

I stopped formulating questions when I felt the beep from my phone na nasa bulsa ko, and it is from Chloe.

"Pumunta ka sa meeting room ngayon na. We have to start the discussion."

It is kinda creepy though but I have to go as quick as I can! Si Chloe ata ang dahilan kung bakit creepy ang message eh, kasi siya ang nagsend!

_________

Nang makarating na ako ay walang katok-katok pumasok agad ako.

I almost curse when all of the members of the Student Council is inside the meeting room. Mostly kasi kapag walang event kaming apat lang ang nandito sa meeting room since busy ang iba, and as far as I remember tapos na ang Nutrition Month so I'm wondering bakit nandito sila lahat.

Umupo agad ako kung saan ang nakalaan na seat para sakin.

"So since Julienne is here, we'll start,"

Napa-gulp naman ako when Chloe stated those words na magsisimula na. Why do I have a feeling na it's about what happened noong Nutrition Month?

"Today, we will discuss about the hot potato of this very moment, Ms. Lee," tumango naman sakin si Chloe na parang nagsasabi na mag-ready ako, "Most of the population of both South and North are very eager to know what is the real status between you and Mr. Yoshihara, one of the Kings of Royal South Academy, and it became very big of a deal just because the Student Council, or specifically the image of the Campus Queens of this school is doubted just because you, a Queen, dated some student, not just a student but a King from the opponent school," Chloe looks at me na parang nag-aalala siya dahil sa nangyayari.

"I-I'm sorry Queen President, I-I was wrong. I shouldn't have---"

"No, it's okay Ms. Lee. Me, myself, found this a bit of overreacting just because the North Queen is dating some King from the South they made a fuss, but they are concluding that your leadership skills are lacking or nagpapabaya ka raw, alam natin that the Royal Southernians are a bad omen for us. So I want to give you a chance Queen Julienne, prove to the school population of the North and South that dating someone from the other school are not a hindrance for you being the role-model Queen of this school," Chloe smiled at me, "I trust you Queen Julienne, you aren't chosen to be a Queen for nothing. I'm taking the risk, so please try your best and we will too to protect you and the image of the Student Council and most especially the Queens."

"Ano na gagawin mo ngayon Julieee!!!" 

Hindi ko alam kung galit ba ito si Zara o hindi because she's making loud noises kahit ang lapit lang namin and kung hindi ko lang siya kilala I would consider her angry pero dahil bff ko siya I know nature na niya iyan.

Plus, she's not looking at me at nakatingin lang siya sa phone niya, rude siya pero dahil kilala ko siya, she's just being dense and hindi alam ang rude. Kaya love ko siya.

"I don't know. Naguguluhan pa ako. It's my first time," This time napatingin na sa akin si Zara kahit na si Katie na nagbabasa alam kong nakikinig siya and parang tinatanong nila if ano ang first time na sinasabi ko, "It's my first time na nasa akin ang lahat ng attention, I don't know what to do, I mean how can I please and prove to everyone na mali ang tingin nila sakin?"

Naguguluhan na ako, I mean I can end our pretend relationship with Pervy pero hindi pa tapos or even nagstart ang party ni lola and hindi ko pa alam if ano ang pakay ni Pervy kung bakit siya pumayag sa agreement, in short wala pa kaming nagagawa o na achieve. 

"Hmmm, what if you will talk about the issue with Mr. Yoshihara? Baka makakatulong siya diba?" Pagsabat naman ni Chloe habang umiinom ng yakult at napatingin naman ako doon

Napaisip naman ako doon, does he even care?

_____________

Tawagin niyo na ako na tanga o kahit ano pang names that can suit myself right now, bakit ko nasabi? Nandito lang naman ako sa paaralang nasa opposite side ng school namin.

Yes, I'm already inside the Royal South Academy.

Bakit tanga kamo? Alam ko na pinag-iinitan ako ng mga students here and they want to kill me like what they wanna do noong nag basketball sila Pervy.

And they are giving me the same glare ngayon habang papunta ako sa basketball court nila, I didn't text Pervy na papunta ako dito and I regretted na hindi ko iyon ginawa sana nagpasundo nalang ako.

But for a second thought baka mas lalo silang magalit if magkasama kami, as much as possible I will talk to him sa lugar na hindi nakakakuha ng attention.

Thanks to Professor Ryker at alam ko na ang daan patungong basketball court.

Binuksan ko ang pintuan patungo sa loob ng basketball court, like I said na hindi open area ang basketball court, kinakabhan ako sa possible kong makita. I think Pervy would do what he does best.

Flirting.

Pagbukas ko ng pintuan ay narinig ko agad ang sigawan ng mga cheerleaders at ang noise ng bola na tumatama sa floor. 

I am looking for him in all of this crowd and hindi nagtagal I saw him na, maybe in a span of time nakabisado ko na siya. Isn't that a good thing or a bad thing?

Papalapit na sana ako sa pwesto niya para mapansin niya kaagad ako kahit na naglalaro siya ngayon kaya lang may humarang sa dinadaanan ko, I mentally curse because I think before ako makita ni Pervy I will be dead as meat.

Sino ang humarang? More like sinu-sino. 

Cheerleadears.
