WISH

IT'S D-DAY.

I was riding a small car--I could barely fit in since I'm tall as hell. All people inside the cafeteria turned their heads on me.

Whispering, murmuring, and even laughter filled the whole cafeteria--which was thrice as big as a normal one. It was enormous. I shouldn't be surprised, it's a prestigious school after all.

When I was already in front of the platform--it's a mini stage inside the cafeteria-- I stepped out of the mini car. According to Blaise, minsan daw dito naga-announce or ginaganap ang event instead of the auditorium.

Umakyat ako sa mini stage at inilibot ang paningin ko. Lahat ng tao ay nakatingin sa 'kin. It's lunch time kaya punong-puno ng estudyante ito. Buti pa sila kumakain na, ako, chewing gum lang. Tsk.

I need to do this first.

I'm wearing a black boots, black ripped jeans, black shirt, and even a black beret. Inabot ko ang microphone as I cleared my throat.

I'm gonna have to thank Blaise for setting up the whole place. Speaking of the devil, he was sitting alone on a table with a smirk plastered on his face.

I winked at him, "A pleasant afternoon to you all,"

Silence.

"You must be wondering who or what am I doing here, 'no?" wika ko at nagsigawan ang mga estudyante. Para silang tanga. "Let me introduce myself, I am Wish Locksmith Valentine. Yes. A Valentine and a Locksmith at the same time. Cool, huh?"

As if on cue, they all gasped at the same time.

"OMG! WISH!"

I averted my gaze on the person who just called me. To my surprise, it was Guinevere. The girl I met on the party few months ago. Beside her was Genesis, her twin sister.

I waved my hand at Guinevere and winked at her. Genesis raised her hand kaya napatingin ang lahat sa kanya. She rose up from her seat with confidence.

"Ano sa tingin mo ang ginagawa mo?" malakas na tanong niya.

"Hmm, I'm looking for a person. I need to talk to him," I replied. Once again, I scanned the whole cafeteria but the dark red haired man I was looking for still wasn't in my sight.

Nagsigawan ang students at nagtatanong kung sino raw. Sasagot na sana ako nang biglang may umakyat sa stage na isang lalaki. I can't recognize who he is. He's wearing a uniform, so I bet he's a student unless trip niya lang magbihis ng ganyan.

"Who art thou?" I asked him with my eyebrows raised.

"I'm the student council vice president." he said with a smile on his face. How cute! "How about we talk inside the detention room and discuss about your violations? On your first day?"

A mischievous smirk emerged on my lips. "How about no? As I've mentioned before, I'm still looking for someone."

He scratched his nape lightly, nakukulitan yata sa 'kin. Mukha naman siyang mabait. Once I again I faced my 'audience'.

"Ang makakapagturo sa 'kin sa taong hinahanap ko, 1 month na libre ang food sa cafeteria," wika ko dahilan para magsigawan silang lahat.

"Sino hinahanap mo?"

"TELL US THE NAME!"

I glanced at the student council vice president but he was just looking at me while pouting. Vice president ba talaga 'to? Mukha siyang tanga.
