《Golden Serenity》6

Friday ngayon which means ngayon yung Freshmen Night, sinundo ulit nila ako at daladala ko yung damit ko naka hanger and shoes, at linagay sa likod. Nakita ko doon ang damit ni Ree, na lace top na black. Ang kambal kay Keron, isang Hawaiian shirt sleeve. Kay Zero naman ay long sleeves na blue. Magpapalit kami mamaya kina Celeste sabay sabay na kaming pupunta.
Ngayon rin namin makikilala yung prof namin sa drawing naming kaya dala rin naming yung mga gamit namin. Pag dating sa school makikita mong halos busy lahat ng tao na nasa main, meron vans para sa light and sound system. Dumiretso na kami sa AH dahil ayaw namin ma late.
Calculus ang unang subject kapag Friday, kaya medyo kinakabahan ako. Sana magaling and mabait yung prof namin. Saktong 7 dumating na si prof, babae ang prof namin mukhang medyo strict ata, pero tignan natin.
Umupo kami sa bandang likuran, hindi nag pa introduce yourself si ma'am dahil makikilala niya daw kami kapag nag rerecite na kami. Instead, nag roll call. 1 and half hour tong subject na'to at feeling ko dun sa 1 and half hour na yun hindi ako huminga.
Pumasok na kami dun sa minor subject namin dito, wala narin introduction dahil nagkita na kami nung Wednesday. Na interrupt yung klase namin dahil pumasok yung sa org namin dahil election of officers para daw sa representative ng CE sa first year.
Agad akong nakita ng President ng Org namin kaya ngumiti at kumaway siya, napatingin tuloy sila saakin. So nag pakilala sila and nag explain lang kung anong kahalagan etc., nung mag uumpisa na for the president walang nag taas ng kamay agad.
Nag taas ng kamay yung kaklase kong lalaki. "I nominate Aurelie po." Napatingin tuloy ako sa kanya ng shocked. Napangiti naman si Kuya President.
"Any nomination?" wala ng nag salita sa kanila, nawala na agad ako sa mood.
"Okay mukhang wala na, so let's call Ms. Aurelie to give her speech." Speech?! Gosh, I'm not in the mood. But I have no choice, tumayo nako and nag punta sa harapan.
"Thank you for nominating me, although I was not expecting this because I was never friendly to anyone." Dire-diretso kong pagsasalita, natawa naman yung ibang officers sa sinabi ko. "However, I will try to do the duties. That's all thank you." Pumalakpak naman sila and tinuloy na yung iba pang nomination, wala akong nagawa dahil kailangan kong mag stay dito.
Celeste was the vice, and some of my classmates were the others. The secretary of the Org, ate Sofia asked my name and contact number for meeting purposes daw. Kuya Peter the president welcomed me with a weird smile.
"Chance would freak out if he knows you're a part of the officers, welcome Aurelie or Au." Mukhang tuwang tuwa pa siya sa nangyayari habang ako badtrip na badtrip na. Pagkatapos noon umalis na sila and balik sa dati na.

Hindi ko magawang makinig sa tinuturo ni Ma'am, I was still in shock bakit kung bakit ako naging president. Lunch came and diretso na kami sa canteen may kasama na kaming iba naming kaklase and somehow I need to be okay with it.
Bumili na si Ze ng pagkain naming dalawa, ganun din ang ginawa ng iba. Naunang bumalik si Celeste sa table naming kaya nakapag usap pa kami para mamaya.
"Au, sa bahay narin tayo kumain mamaya mag luluto daw sina mommy." Sabi niya habang paupo. "Sure sige, thank you Celeste hindi na kasi naming magawang umuwi pa para magbihis, masyadong malayo." Baka kasi kapag umuwi pa kami tamarin kaming lahat.
Kumain na kami pagkadating ng iba, minsan nag kwekwentuhan sila and nasasali naman nila kami ni Zero kaya okay narin. I guess ito na yung sinasabi ni Ree na makikilala ko rin sila. I never thought na magagawa ko ulit makihalubilo sa iba. I'm really afraid of huge crowds, I fear na pinaguusapan nila ako lagi, and I don't want that.
"Au, you okay?" Ze asked me nang mapansin na nanahimik ako. Tumango na lang ako sa kanya at nag smile.
Pagkatapos namin kumain tumambay muna kami sa gym dahil 2:30 pa ulit ang pasok namin oo mahabang vacant ulit, 11:00 pa lang.
Pagkarating sa gym diko maiwasang magandahan sa decoration ng stage. Umupo kami malapit doon. Magaling pala mag designs ang mga councils and mukhang pinag isipan talaga.
Nag ig story ako, pinicturan ko ang stage at linagyan ng caption 'later'. Pagkatapos ay umiglip muna ako dito natural na ang matulog sa gym kaya di nakakahiya pero ako natulog lang ako sa balikat ni Zero na nag lalaro ng ML baka pero mamaya iiglip din yan.
Siguro naka tulog ako ng isang oras, nandito lang kami sa pangatlong seats sa bleachers kaya kita ko kaagad ang stage. Nagulat ako ng makita ko si Chancellor na seryoso ang tingin sakin, hindi pala saamin ni Zero.
Nang makita niyang nagising nako ay tumayo na siya at tumulong. Kanina paba siya naka titig samin?
"Oo Au, kanina pa siya nakatingin sa inyo ni Zero." Parang nabasa ng isa kong kaklase ang iniisip ko.
Tinignan ko ulit si Chancellor at nakitang seryoso parin ang mukha niya. Mukhang badtrip siya at pagod. Diko na lang pinansin pa at nag phone na lang.
thechancellords replied to your story.
Nag reply pala siya kanina sa story ko.
'See you later.'
I just replied with a thumbs up and closed my phone. I tried mingling with my classmates and we talked about the event later. They are all going later, kaya okay narin atleast may iilan nakong kilala pa.
Nagkwekwentuhan lang kami ng biglang mag vibrate ang phone ko. Nag reply si Chancellor sa ig.
'I didn't like what I saw today Aurelie.'

Pagkabasa ko noon ay tinignan ko ang stage at nakitang naka tingin din siya sa akin. I didn't bother replying. Wala akong ginawang masama. Bahala siya sa buhay niya.
"He's jealous." Nabigla ako ng mag salita si Zero.
"Huh? Anong sabi mo?" I asked again di masyadong clear e.
"Nothing, Sunshine." Nag smile na lang siya at pinat ang ulo ko. Zero mukha ba akong aso?!
Nakipag kwentuhan na lang ulit kami hanggang sa mag time na. Drawing ang subject kaya naman kinuha muna namin yung gamit namin sa kotse, nauna na ang iba.
Habang papalabas kami ng gate sa may harap ay dumaan sina Chancellor sa harapan namin. Mukhang di niya kami napansin, dahil tuloy tuloy lang sila.
Nakarating na kami sa harap ng room namin. Bandang 2:30 dumating na ang prof namin lalaki matanda na. Nag pwesto kami nila Ze sa may tapat ng AC sa may bandang likod.
Pataas ang mga drawing table at monobloc ang upuan kaya dimo talaga kita si Sir kapag umupo ka. Kaya naman tumayo muna kami dahil mag papakilala siya.
"Ako si Engr. Ricardo Z. Cruz. I will be your drawing professor. I only know three students, those who pass before deadline, those who pass on time, and those pa extend students." Strict siya, medyo scary naman po.
"First things first, ayaw ko ng maingay kapag nagdradrawing. You draw with your hands not your mouth." Syempre naman po.
"Second, walang hiraman ng gamit kapag nag dradrawing na. Ayaw ko makatanggap ng reklamo ng may nawala or nasira drawing dahil sa mga humihiram. Maliit lang ang spaces natin kaya baka magkataaman kaya pag naghihiraman." Very true masikip ang room at tabi tabi ang tables, pwedeng magkasagian.
"Lastly, I give grades kung anong deserve mo. I'm very strict with my checking. You can pass early and I will correct your drawing and It's up to you if you will do it again. I cocompile niyo yang mga drawing niyo by the end of semester." Okay, self wag kang tamad.
"Understood?" Prof. Ricardo said
"Yes sir." Sagot namin.
After noon bigla siyang nag pa drawing samin sa isang piece of paper ng isang bagay daw na kailangan na kailangan ng isang Civil Engineer.
Nag drawing na lang ako ng pencil, wala akong ibang maisip. Pagkatapos, pinapass niya ang papers nag tawag siya ng mga studyante.
Natawag si Zero, ang drinawing niya ay calculator. Maganda ang explanation niya kaya napabilib din si sir. Pagkatapos ng part na yun ay nag discuss lang ng konti si sir about sa mga gagawin namin ngayon sem. All in all daw ay dapat maka 50 drawing works.
Madami yun, pero eto talaga yun. Kakayanin namin to. Pagktapos ay lumabas na kami at lumipat ng daan para pumasok ulit ng main. Dahil nandon daw si Keron at Ree nag aantay sa may likod ng business center.
Pagkita namin sa kanila ay agad na lumapit sa Reeilla kay Celeste. Agad naman silang nagkasundo dahil nga magkaugali sila, dumiretso na kami sa sasakyan at tumungo na papunta kina Celeste.
10 minutes na byahe lang ang layo ng bahay ni Celeste sa school. Pagkarating doon ay nakasalubong agad namin ang Mommy and Daddy niya pati narin ang bunso niyang kapatid. Mukha parin bata ang mga magulang niya no wonder Celeste is also pretty.
Mabait ang parents niya pati ang cute ng kapatid niya. Kumain narin agad kami and sobrang sayang ng namin habang kumakain dahil sa mga kwento ni Keron at Daddy niya.
After eating umakyat na kami sa kwarto ni Celeste at nag bihis na 8 ang start ng Freshmen Night, 7:30 na pero di naman kami nag mamadali dahil mag papalit lang naman ng damit pantaas at sapatos.
Ang kambal ay nagpalit sa may guestroom nila Celeste. Nag make up rin ako ng kaonti dahil ayaw kong mag mukhang haggard. Pagkatapos namin nag ayos ay nag picture muna kaming tatlo dahil sa kagustuhan ng dalawa.
After noon, ay bumaba na kami at nag paalam sa parents ni Celeste at nag thank you. Pagkarating namin sa loob ng gym ay pinag titinginan kami lalo na ako dahil ako ang nahuhuli sa kanila.
Hindi naman kami over dressed, naka long and short sleeves lang kami, pants and heels. May mga naka dress pa nga e, casual lang naman.
Umupo kami sa may bandang harapan pero hindi harap na harap. Nag picture muna kaming lima dahil minsan lang naman ito. Maingay dahil sa music at may lights kaya parang nasa bar ka lang, kaibahan walang alcohol.
Di nag tagal ay nag start na ang program, may mga nag perform na groups of orgs and students din. Masaya naman kahit papaano. Nasa part na kami ng announcing ng face of the night daw.
"And now ladies and gentlemen, freshies sino nga ba sa inyo ang face of the night sa mga girls?!" Sigawan naman silang lahat. Medyo napa takip ako sa tenga.
"The Face of the Night for this years freshmen night is... Ms. Margaux Aurelie S. Olivarez from the Civil Engineering Department." What?! with this get up ako pa ang face of the night.
A spotlight went our way and may studyanteng kumuha ng kamay ko para umakyat ng stage. I don't know what to do. Tinignan ko lang yun, si Ree naman ay tinulak na ako patayo.
Wala nakong nagawa kundi tumayo. Pagkaakyat sa stage ay nandun si Chancellor dahil siya ang mag bibigay ng sash kumbaga at prize yata.
"You look so wonderful tonight, Aurelie."
Love, Lara...

Zu Mari will never be stopped! Zu Mari will ascend to the heavens! Zu Mari is a downtrodden cultivator without any hope of becoming powerful. OR SO HE THINKS! One day fate intervenes on his behalf to give him everything he'd ever dreamed of, ALL THE POWER HE SO RIGHTLY DESERVES! And then, finally, everything starts going his way. (Well... kind of.) [Participant in the Royal Road Writathon challenge] wooooo!! Let's do this! Just to clear up some misconceptions, this is not a parody and it is not a satire. Zu Mari does include over the top humor and exaggerations intended to amuse, but satire is a very specific thing which this is not. I certainly haven't read enough xianxia to properly satirize or parody them. It's just a silly project I'm writing for fun, with a meta story that makes me laugh. Expecting anything else will only end in disappointment.

DarkBoi69's mediocre, rushed and badly-written aventure
Follow DarkBoi69's edgy adventure as I move him through a shitty plot where he meets terribly-written characters like angry evil stupid villains and naive cute useless busty women. This story is not really an actual serious story but simply a writing exercise for me to focus on overall writing speed, forcefully insert some writing in my everyday life to increase productivity and most importantly help with turning ideas, thoughts or feelings into writing directly without feeling blocked, hopefully trying to achieve something as close as possible to writing unconsciously what i’m thinking about. I'll probably try to do something like writing as much in 30 mins as I can, nearly every-day. So far I've only done this once and it already seems like a pretty good thing to do. I don’t have anything planned and that’s probably going to be a constant for every one of these exercises, so it’ll end up being not very good (although maybe better than it has any right to be? ) and nonsensical.
