Knock! Knock!

Nahinto ako sa pagbabasa, when I heard a sudden knocks at my door, and when it opens. In one swift-move, agaran kong ibinaba ang mga paa kong nakapatong sa lamesa, at naupo ng maayos.

"Good morning, Mr. Mallory!"

"What brought you here, Madame?" Diretsahan kong tanong rito. Si Frondo lang ang nangangahas bumisita sa akin rito didn't expect it to be her this time.

She acted like she didn't hear what I’ve said, and roamed around my office instead. As the student council Supreme President, I have the right to own one, right?

"You've really changed it all?" She stated, roaming her eyes in each corners of my newly designed office.

"Who wouldn't? In case you've forgotten. The former Supreme President of the student council was a puerile woman." I answered, out of boredom.

Dropping Sherlock Holmes book on my table, I stood up and neared my pantry, baka nasiraan ito ng coffee blender kaya narito. Inabala ko ang sarili sa pagprepara ng kape para sa aking bisita.

I found her, comfortably sitting on the couch at my living room. I placed her coffee on top of the table, and sat opposite to her.

I took a sip from mine and put it down right after. She also took some sip from hers, while throwing me some glances.

"Seriously, did I break some rules? I'm not into rambling so might as well tell me what really brought you here."

She took a deep breath before coming up for a response. "Mr. Haunt Daven Mallory! Stop acting like you didn't know the reason why I'm here!" She said between gritted teeth.

That's why I'm asking. I shook my head and remained calm instead as she goes on. "I waited for you, at my office for about three days now. And yet, hindi ka parin pumunta! kinailangan ko pa talagang puntahan ka rito." She's too close of shouting now.

I took a sip from my coffee first before answering. "Ahuh! So that what made a head mistress, come down at my level? Should I be glad about that?"

"Mr. Mallory! Don't you dare mocked me!" She furiously comes up. "You've created a chaos over a mess? Seriously, is that how you handle a dilemma?"

"Oh come on!" I blurted, tightly gripping on my cup of coffee. "Kung kayo nasisikmura niyong panoorin ang mga barumbadong iyon! P'wes, ibahin niyo ako!"

Last Wednesday, I was walking my way towards the school's cafeteria, when I overheard a group of students chattering something about a commotion, happening at the school's gymnasium.

Upon hearing that, a group of temperamental students quickly crossed in my mind. Sa halip na magpatuloy sa paglalakad patungong Cafeteria, I found myself walking on opposite direction.

My hands are shaking, and my breathing's not fine. I'm mad!

Damn mad!

Sa labas palang ng gym, rinig ko na ang mga kantiyawan at hiyawang nagaganap sa loob nito.

Upon entering, the place fell in silence. Walang nangahas magingay, nang makita ako. They even give way, for me to see the group of shitty bastards, surrounding a certain person, who's now at the ground, screaming out in pain.

I walked my way near them, I'm damn aware of the sudden attention I'm getting at the moment. But that didn't bother me.

And there I finally get a clearer view of them. Five guys having lots of tattoos all over their bare skins came in my view, wearing a nasty ear-piercings. I grinned when I also noticed that they weren't wearing their school uniforms too!

The guy having an awful hairstyle eyed me. But I just ignored him, and drew near the man on the ground instead. My blood reached its boiling point, nang makita ang mga galos na tinamo nito.

I help him get up. "All of you! Get out this fucking place now!" I yelled. A group of students come to us, maingat kong ibinilin sa kanila ang lalaking ‘di na maipinta ang mukha.

"Such bravery, Mr. President, stop acting like a holy saint! For fuck's sake!" words coming from the guy, having the most horrible facade, students stop from stepping out and looked back.

I gestured the guys beside me to step aside," Oh, am I bothering your wicked soul, you moron?"

"Oh come on! Mr goody giddy president?" He mocked off. "The title won't save your ass not even close if being an excuse, dude!" He added, spitting on the floor.

"Harassing someone you're up with, that's not an excuse too, and by the way, we're not dudes!" I vented. "You wanna fight? You should have come up to my office and invited me. That was way more forgiving instead of picking a random victim!"

The guy now look pissed. "Come on! I'll give you what you want! You're one lucky bastard ‘cause I'm in a good mood right now,” I even jested. “I’ll be the law for now.”

Naka-engkwentro ko na sila minsan, but after knowing that I'm a black belter, hindi na ito nasundan pa.

I was taught to defend myself at a very young age. And I taught myself the principles of kindness. Turning a blind eye and silence are the most treacherous traits we often misinterpret.

"Mayabang ka ah! Kala mo may ibubuga!" The one with a weirdo nose piercing attacked me first, but I'm good enough to dodge that punch and gave him a loaded punch in exchange.

I was still busy giving punches on this weirdo when, a piggy bank bull throws me a laughable kick, good thing it didn't land on me but on his company.

Now the bull's got mad upon seeing his member knocked on the ground. The crowds now started to cheer. Fuck shit! I'm gaining so much of attention now and I kinda...liking it?

"Ako na!" Says by awful hairstyle kusang nagsiatrasan naman ang mga tupa nito. Sa aking pagmamasid batid kong ang mga tupang ito ay naliligaw ng landas. God! I'm not a kind shepherd.

Ilang sandali pa ay inatake na ako nito, he's throwing countless punches but neither of that landed.

Saglit itong nahinto only to put knuckles on both hands. Napailing nalang ako sa naging akto niya. Nakahihiya!

When he aimed to punch me on my face, I quickly dodged it, by turning left as I lift my body granting him a loaded kick right on his disgusting face.

Not my precious face.

No one had ever laid a finger on it, not even Lahari.

Agad itong tumumba sa sahig, maagap namang nagsilapitan ang mga kasamahan nito para itayo siya. Pinagpag ko ang damit na tila ba ako ang natumba. "I drop my judo class, but I didn't quit practicing!" I flexed my right arm.

“A fifty push up a day, curls up, and minutes jog. You should learn from the expert." Sharing advice. "Change your lifestyles it makes you look more...disgusting.”

“Give way!” I frowned, when I saw my councils running their way towards me, they're bit late, than I expected.

"Shet! Supremo, anong ginawa mo!" Frondo shouted, he looks frustrated by the way. Agad itong dumulog sa akin, sinusuri ang katawan ko na tila ba ako ang nabugbog. I step back when he was about to touch my cheeks.

"Tsk! A bit cut is nothing compare to what they did!" I uttered. "Look." Pointing to the guy with so much bruises.

"Clean up my mess, Mr. VP." I whispered at him, before leaving.

"As long as they're under my custody and as the Supreme President of the student council," I winced. "I won't tolerate those kind of behaviors!" She looked a bit shock of what I’ve said.

"Kung wala na kayong sasabihin, makakaalis na ho kayo." Her forehead ceased. Tsk! "Okay! Ako nalang ang aalis." I quickly stood up.

"Madame, you wouldn't know on how to stop me, but crystal clear, you know how to end it." I stated, as I then walk my way towards the door.

"Haunt Daven Mallory!" She yelled, I stop, not because I wanna hear whatever she would say but because I forgot something.

"Mrs. Lilac, kindly lock the door when you leave. Have a nice day ahead!" I uttered before stepping out of my office.

"Fuck!"

Halos mapabalik ako sa loob ng office ko, when a not so humble woman, blocked my way.

"Come with me!" She ordered, like I'm someone closed to her. 'Come with me! My ass!'

"I don't have time, for rude woman!" Ani ko, at saka nagsimula muling maglakad. Pababa na ako sa staircase when a sudden flames crawled up to where I am.

"Shit!"

I hurriedly turn around, "Oh shit!" I almost fell down, when her face appeared so closed to me.

"Told you, come with me." Saad muli nito.

"And why the hell would I come with yo---"

I was caught off guard looking at her eyes. She has eyes like a blazing fire. So, she caused the fire?

I step down when she leaned closer, almost kissing me. "Bacause I say so." She whispered.

The nerve of this woman! I took another step down.

"You know what! You aren't just rude, but aggressive too! It makes me wonder, were you really a woman or a man?” Sa halip na mainis sa sinabi ko, ay napangisi ito.

Tsk!

“Lead the way!”
