Enter Me, Engineer ✅ [COMPLETED]

CHAPTER 3

"Akalain mo? May pagka-chismoso din pala si prof ano?" Bulong ni Vergeire.

"Narinig niya pa iyon? Siguro may crush din siya sa akin!" I giggled but immediately stop when Vergeire pinch me.

"Guro kasi siya! Tapos hindi ka pa nakasagot kanina! Alangan namang i-provoke kang lumandi gayong wala kang natututunan?" She said and drink on my coke.

"Bumili ka nga doon!" Inis kong inagaw ang coke pero hindi siya nagpatalo at inagaw iyon.

"Sorry not sorry pero akin na ito. Bili ka ulit," tumawa siya.

Napalingon ako kay Jazz nang iabot nito sa akin ang isang basong laman ay coke kaya agad akong nagpasalamat at ngumiti. Akmang babayaran ko na siya pero tumanggi siya at ngumiti nalang.

"Bakla ka ba talaga? Baka nagpapanggap ka lang at may gusto ka pala kay Tine ah!" Humalakhak si Vergeire at binunggo ang balikat ni Jazz.

"Babae ka ba talaga? Baka nagpapanggap ka lang at may gusto ka pala kay Tine ah!" Bawi agad ni Jazz na ikinasama ng tingin ni Vergeire.

Nakamasid lang ako sa kanila at pasimpleng minamatch-make sila sa utak ko. Bagay naman sila. Kaso parehas sila ng hanap eh.

"Hoy gaga ka! Alam ko na iyang tingin mo! Huwag mo akong ima-match make sa baklang iyan!" Dinuro pa ako ni Vergeire habang humalakhak lang ako.

We both laugh and tell our funniest story not until the bell rang and we need to go to our designated class. Agad kaming nagtungo sa locker at kinuha ang gamit namin doon at nagtungo na sa susunod na klase namin.

Halos mahuli kami sa klase dahil sa kalalakihan na humaharang at nagtatanong ng numero namin. Binibigay ko kapag "type" ko pero iniignora ko kapag hindi pasado sa taste ko. Duh? Andaming nakapila tapos magtitiyaga ako sa cheap? No way!

"As always, lumalandi pa kasi kaya nahuhuli," Rinig ko ang bulong ni Julianne nang makalagpas kami sa kaniya.

Agad akong tumigil sa paglalakad dahilan para tumigil din si Vergeire. I face Julianne and look at her from head to toe.

"Atlis may lumalandi sa akin dahil maganda ako. Eh ikaw? Napakadesperada na ibibigay ang pera para lang makatikim." I rolled my eyes and go to my chair.

I heard our classmate saying "ohhh" and "nispa" while Julianne, on the other side, is looking at me with anger. I smirk at her before looking away like nothing happened. I'm not into fight but he provoke me to say those words. I didn't born to be step by someone and make fun. I born to be a queen.

"Tama lang sa kanya iyan noh! Napakatapang, akala mo may ibubuga!" Vergeire said that make me laugh.

"May inggit kasi sa katawan," I whispered before chuckling. We just both stopped when our teacher entered the room.

She roamed her eyes around the room and stop her eyes on me.

"Ms. Figueroa, Almost all of your grades are F. Since the midterm exam is coming, you should study for you to pass this semester,"

Halos mapayuko ako dahil sa sinabi niyang iyon. What the hell? I know I'm not smart but hindi naman tama na ipahiya niya ako sa harapan ng klase! Pwede namang papuntahin niya nalang ako sa office niya at kausapin hindi iyong halos isigaw niya na!

"You should find someone to teach you or get a tutor. It's not a problem because you're rich and can afford a five tutor," Dagdag pa nito na lalong nagpainis sa akin.

How dare her! Parang sinasabi niya na kulang pa sa akin ang isang tutor dahil hindi kaya ng utak ko! If ever I become a teacher, I will never do what she did! Nakakababa ng pagkatao!

"Mawalang-galang na po pero napakabastos naman yata ng bibig niyo," I can't help but to stood up and say that to her.

Her mouth gap open and shock is evident on her face. Halos sobrang diin ang aking kamao dahil sa inis ko sa guro kong ito. Masyado siyang mapagmalaki porke ba ay guro siya? Teachers supposed to teach us good manners not bring us down more!

"Napakabastos mong bata ka!" Sigaw niya at halos mamula ang mukha sa galit. I just stare at her while she's spitting nonsense things.

"Done? Why don't you look at yourself? I understand that you're concern about my grades but you supposedly talk to me in private and not to embarrass me infront of the class! Tell me, how can you do that to your students?" I fired back. I breathed because I can't handle the irritation towards her anymore.

I'm sure anytime, I'm going to explode. Like a wild bomb.

"Your student is right, Ms. Levie," Someone interrupted.

Everybody look at him. Kuenzier is leaning on the door while his hands are inside his pocket. He's intently looking at us and I don't know how long he's standing there. Baka narinig niya ang lahat at isumbong pa ako! Alam ko naman ang ugali niya!

"Hindi porke ginagalang ka ay tama ka na! Ang bastos ng ugali niyan! Dapat siya ang pagsabihan!" Halos mapatid na ang ugat sa leeg niya sa pagsigaw at galit. Matalim niya akong tinitigan at parang anumang oras ay kaya niya akong katayin.

"She's rude. Meron din siyang kasalanan but you started it first. You embarassed her infront of the whole class and almost say that she's idiot. How can a teacher be rude like that?" Kuenzier is still calm even Ms. Levie is exploding.

"Kahit na!" Marahil ay wala nang masabi ay iyon na lang ang isinigaw niya. I mentally rolled my eyes at her. Maybe she realize it or not?

"Ms. Levie and Ms. Figueroa, follow me to the Dean's office," Utos nito sa kalma paring boses.

Matalim muna akong tinitigan ni Ms. Levie bago sumunod kay Kuenzier.

"Ikaw na bahala sa gamit ko. Baka hindi na ako bumalik. Nakakabadtrip," I whispered to Vergeire before patting her shoulder. She nodded and make a thumbs up.

I sigh before following them. Halos walang nagsalita sa aming tatlo hanggang sa makarating kami sa opisina ng Dean. I mentally rolled my eyes when I caught Ms. Levie glaring at me. Really? She's not still over it?

"Mr. Adecer," The Dean acknowledge his present before his gaze focus on us. "Good morning to you two."

Tumango lang kami dahil nakakailang ang presenya ng dalawa. Halos manlamig ang kamay ko dahil sa kaba na baka patalsikin ako dito at malaman ng magulang ko.

"What's the problem to them?" Tanong nito kay Kuenzier.

Nakayuko lang kami at hindi nag-angat ng tingin kahit nagsimulang magsalita si Kuenzier.

"My class is beside to their class. I heard Ms. Levie almost shouting that Ms. Figueroa is failed. It's not right to drag your student down because you should help them to pass because you are a teacher and that is your role. Although, Ms. Figueroa has a wrong too because she's not supposed to say a bad thing to Ms. Levie," He explained clearly.

Itinaas ko ang ulo ko ngunit muling yumuko nang makita na nakamasid sa akin si Kuenzier. Damn! Pafall naman!

"Care to explain? Ms. Figueroa?" Tawag ng Dean sa apilyedo ko kaya agad kong itiniaas ang tingin sa kanya.

"I know I'm a rude and bad student but she still has no rights to drag me down just because I have failed grades! Almost everyone knows that my mother just forced me to study here but she say it without even thinking! Suspend me, kick me out but I just want to depend me or all the students! She's not effective to be a teacher because even her role is help the student, she's not doing it!" Nakahinga ako matapos kong sabihin iyon.

I saw how Ms. Levie face almost paled when the Dean looked at her.

"Ms. Levie, naging estudyante ka rin kagayan nila. It means, napagdaanan mo na din kung paano bumagsak at gaano kahirap ang bawat aralin. You should understand how they feel because you felt it too before. Am I right?"

"I—I'm sorry," She said almost a whisper.

"I'm apologizing too. I accept whatever the punishment but you should teach your teachers first a good manners," I'm not an angel. I'm rude even you're on the higher position. I don't care.

"Ms. Levie, find another university because starting to day, you will not teaching here and you, Ms. Figueroa...." He trailed off as if he's thinking what my punishment should be. "You should study so this won't happen next time."

Nakahinga ako ng maluwag dahil doon. Kahit pa ramdam ko ang matulis na tingin sa akin ni Ms. Levie ay wala akong pakielam. At least, I'm not suspended or got kick.

"It's unfair! Why the hell she's not suspended or kick out while I am?!" Reklamo ni Ms. Levie.

Malamig na tumingin sa kanya ang Dean. "Maraming estudyante na rin ang nagreklamo pero hindi umabot sa puntong ganito. You should learn from your mistakes."

"She needs to learn from her mistakes too! May mali din siya! Palibhasa ay mayaman kaya niyo kakampihan!" She used our life status just to defend her self.

"It's not about money. It's about students dignity. They respect you and you should respect them too. Respect always give and take," Kuenzier interrupted.

Sa kanya naman napatingin si Ms. Levie at dinuro ito. "Siguro ay may gusto ka dito sa batang ito! Ano? Pinalasap ba sa iyo ang langit kaya mo kinakampihan?!"

"Ganyan ba ang disenteng guro? Nambibintang kahit walang patunay?" I can't help but to butt in.

Marahil ay marami akong lalaki pero hindi ko gagamitin ang katawan ko para lang kampihan ng kung sino.

"Ganda lang ang meron ka! Wala kang utak! Why the hell your still staying here even you're not fit here? Kakalandi mo ay wala ka ng alam!" Nilapitan niya ako at dinuro sa mukha.

I stilled. Her words.... are familiar. I remember how my aunts and uncles say that to me. I clearly remember how they treat me as a trash.

"She will learn something from now on because I volunteer my self as her tutor," Kuenzier said before smiling at me.
