Chapter 4: Chapter 4: Spacing out
KASEY'S POV
Magta-talong buwan na since i transferred here, thus sports fest is already coming. For almost three months of being in this school somehow i got accustomed to it though medyo naninibago pa rin talaga ako sa atmosphere and on how to address my classmates, well as if i can change my way of addressing a person easily , but then thanks to Cherry and Denise they help me a lot.
"Good morning Kasey" masiglang sambit at bati ni Vincent
"oh!, ohayo! Vincent-san.. Ah!!!, Gomenasai!!.. A-aahh i mean..a-" natataranta kong sambit
(Translation: Ohayo - good morning or hello ; -san was use for addressing a person in a honorific way; gomenasai - sorry/ i'm sorry)
"ahahaha, there you go again, ok lang yun sanay na ako, by the way where are you heading this wasn't the way to our classroom" tsk, nakakahiya.
Hanggang ngayon di pa din ako nakaka-adjust sa environment ko, it was either I would speak Japanese or Korean when I great them.
"sa library, isasauli ko kasi tong book na hiniram ko last week"
"ah, ganun ba, then, mauna na ako sa room"
"ok" when all of a sudden i got tripped.
"watch out!" he shouted when all of a sudden I felt someone's grip on my arms "tsk be careful ok, muntikan ka ng mahulog sa hagdan oh"
"t-thanks" phew!, thanks to Vincent, muntik na yun.
hala!, our face was so close almost an inch apart! A-and hes arms are on my waist.
A-ano to? Bakit ang bilis ng tibok ng puso ko.
Eh?!, what's wrong with me, m-my heart beats so fast, faster than normal a-and my cheeks i feel like it was becoming red, whats this, whats happening to me? My body didn't even act this way just like the way I always react when a man touches me.
"are you really alright, you're red and you're sweating a lot too. By any chance, do you have a fever?" he was about to touch my forehead when i release my self sa hawak nya sa akin.
"o-ok lang ako" ang di ko maka tingin ng diretso sa kanyang sambit.
"are you sure?"
Of all my guy classmates kay Vincent lang ako kumportable, I hate to admit it, but when a guy touches me (aside from my family members) I always freaked out and I always starts to feel danger besides them, I'm not like this before but due to certain circumstances I ended up being like this.
"huh?, oh Vincent anong ginagawa mo dito at bakit kasama mo yang babaeng yan?" It's Nice.
"yoh!, Nice ikaw pala, i just happen to pass here before going to classroom then we accidentally met here" Vincent explained
"heh? Talaga lang ha?" Nice said in a very sarcastic tone as he throw suspicious look at me and Vincent.
'ito na naman po si Mr.Poker face' bulong ko
"oo nga, tara na nga lang sa room, oh! Kasey mauna na kami, malapit ng magsimula ang first period"
"a-ah!, o-ok, mauna na din ako" WAH!!!, bakit na-uutal ako
"tsk." -- Nice
Argh!.. Di ko alam pero for almost three moths i always got irritated when Nice's was around, seriously I myself don't know why.
"Kasey are you with us?" said Cherry as she snapped her fingers in front of me
"h-hah?" wala sa sarili kong sambit
"are you alright, kanina ka pa tahimik since first period, tapos tulala ka pa, may problema ba?" may halong pag aalalang tanong ni Denise
"okay lang ako"
"talaga lang ha" ang hindi naniniwalang sambit ni Denise
"oo nga, tara na nga nauna na satin si Cherry sa pag order ng pagkain" pag iiba at pag iwas ko sa usapan, hinila ko na rin sya papunta sa canteen.
Then we headed to the counter at our cafeteria to order our meal, then after that we headed to where Cherry and the others is. Lunch break na pala di ko man lang namalayan ang oras.
"pasensya na natagalan kami" Denise said before she sit next to her boyfriend James
"okay lang yun, kain na tayo" naka ngiting sambit ni James as his girlfriend sat beside him.
"Guys, walang mawawala mamaya ha, we need to prepare our booth remember next week na ang sports fest natin" Cherry said while chewing her food.
Oo nga pala next week na ang sports fest, and everyone is busy practicing for the
competition samantalang yung iba naman busy sa pag hahanda para sa booths nila, good thing is I am very familiar in doing this kind of thing, preparing for festival is fun after all, but this was a bit different on what we had in Japan.
"but, we need to practice para sa sports na sinalihan namin, remember varsity members po kami" Hanz said
"we can only help you all after our practice" Claude suggest
"hmmp. Parang kami hindi kailangan mag ready sa sports na kinabibilangan namin" paghihimutok ni Denise habang ang walang kamalay-malay na mga gulay ang pinag bubuntunan nya ng himutok nya.
"tama na yan, we had no choice, kami na lang mga walang sinalihan na sports competition ang bahala sa booth natin" i said
"wala ka bang sinalihang sports Kasey?" Kris suddenly ask while he was chewing his food
"I cant, even though I want" I said in a sad voice as I bow down my head, ayaw kong makita nilang nalulungkot ako, they might ask another question of they did.
"Why?" It's James this time
"hindi pa kasi talagang magaling ang bone fracture ko sa kanan kong paa, pero okay lang yun, may iba pa naman akong pwedeng salihan, like table tennis or archery, saka kulang din tayo ng tao sa booth natin" I explained na lang para di na sila mag tanong pa
"ganun ba" Vincent said worriedly before continue eating.
Iniba na rin nila ang topic habang nakain kami dahil nakaka stress lang daw lalao pag inalala pa nila ang sports fest lalo.
"mauna na kami Kasey ha, promise kapag maaga na natapos ang practice namin tutulungan namin kayo dito" Cherry said with enthusiasm bago sila tuluyang lumabas ng classroom after ng klase
"ok, sige na, lakad na kayo baka pagalitan pa kayo ng coach nyo pag na-late kayo" pag tutulak ko sa kanila na mauna na para sa practice nila.
Then after they leave we start our meeting on how to make our classroom looks like a cafe. Our class choose Maid and Butlers Cafe as our theme for the booth and among us na naiwan sa room ako ang pinili nila na leader, and I had no choice coz they insist it at hindi talaga nila ako tinigilan hanggat di ako napayag.
"Ok, since maid and butler cafe ang napili natin, first of all we need a maid and butlers attire, set of table cloth para sa tables, utensils, art materials for the decorations, and we need to make a menu for the cafe, that means we need money to create our cafe, specially for our menu we need to buy ingredients" i explained to them.
"hmmm, for the money why don't we ask for a contribution from our classmates?" one of my classmate suggested.
"good idea!, and then for the menu, why don't we make cookies and mini cakes then coffee,Juice,shakes for beverages since it was a cafe" I said
"great, and for our costumes why don't we rent it" others said
"that's great, and then for the table and utensils I'm the one who will be in-charge of it, so there's no need for us to worry about the utensils and table cloth, all there left is the decoration and the cooking, does anyone here knows how to bake and brew coffee?" i ask them, then a few of them raise their arms.
"I guess that's enough"
"uhhm Kasey, why don't we look for the ingredients we need also the decorations and costumes so we can sum up the amount we need"
"hmm, ok, let's all look for it now so we will know how much contribution we will be needing"
Then we left our classroom to go to the nearby supermarket and to find a renting shop for our costumes.
"guys mauna na kayo, pupuntahan ko lang muna sila Denise"
"ok, antayin ka na lang namin sa labas"
"ok", then I headed to the field wherein they were practicing volleyball while on the other side the boys are practicing basketball.
"Kasey, anong ginagawa mo dito?" Cherry asked
"magpapaalam lang kasi ako, magahahanap lang kasi kami ng renting shop para sa costumes natin sa booth at para sa ingredients sa menu ng cafe"
"ganun ba, sige mag iingat kayo ha" Denise
"oo naman, kayo din"
"oo, basta promise tutulong kami sa pag aayos sa booth next time"
I just smile at them as a reply.
"KASEY!! Watch out!" Cloud shouted
Then with a blink of an eye, I feel pain in my forehead, na syang naging dahilan para mapa upo ako sa sakit.
"Itai!~" i murmured (Translation: Itai simply means it hurts)
"Are you alright Kasey?.. Woah! Your bleeding!" Cherry shouted
"we're sorry" Hanz said as he came towards us
"tara na sa clinic para magamot yang sugat mo" James stated
"hindi na okay lang ako" i said as I slowly stand up straight and pat my skirt to remove some dirt and dust.
"OUCH!!" I shouted because there's a person named Nice who suddenly touch the wound in my forehead.
"Nice why did you do that?" they all said in chorus
"To make sure if she's alright" he said
"but I said I'm alright besides they were waiting for me, so I'm heading"
"No, we are going to the clinic, Vincent you go there and told them that Kasey won't make it, explain it to them"
Tsk. Who the hell he think he is to order people around, hes like a old man.
"Ok" Vincent said.
Then Nice grab my hand to drag me to the clinic.
