Another month passed by, I managed to avoid seven detentions and survived three. The first one was when Eagle and Howler snuck into one of the warplanes parked outside. Bee punched me in the gut when I asked her to tell the superiors that I made them do it. The captain and I made a happy reunion and later drowned me. I had also started teaching Muscat some tricks like stay and fetch. Minnie said I was mistaking it for a dog, but I ignored her. As long as I can prove that it's a trained cat, who would argue against it? It had also refused to eat cooked food, so I do covert burglary missions to the kitchen for Muscat's everyday food source at night. It's either piece of meat or a whole fish. Even Minnie doesn't know this.
The second time was when Reaper, Barrel
Bee became the highlight of my life, diligently helping me avoid detentions. During the past few days, the class managed to escape detentions with her wits, thus making my wounds heal in peace. One of these days, I'm going to thank her. Still, Lieutenant Margaery is nowhere to be seen, twice the sergeant had personally gone to me for information, and twice I told him I didn't know where she was. We were in the middle of Flight Lessons when Victor got pissed off and attacked Viper, his co-pilot. Roses stood up to watch them brawl. Private Lowell found them rolling on the floor, kicking and punching. &n
I opened my eyes and turned to the clock on the bedside table. I wasn't surprised to find myself insidemyinfirmary room. My body's a stiff as stone. I must've slept for a long while now. I stood up and stared at my hands. Only my thumbs survived the beating. I couldn't help but feel sorry for my little fingers wrapped thoroughly with bandages. Fran entered the room holding a tray topped with a water bottle, a couple of medicine, and a kettle. There was food, too. I smiled at her, and she just sighed. She gave me three tablets of different-looking capsules. I took it and gulped it down with water. &nb
The next day, I woke up and found a note on the bedside table saying, 'Be right back. I had another bone scan. They said my hands were mending faster than expected. They commented about the drugs doing better than expected. They had me escorted back to the room. Fran gave me a visit again, brought the usual tray and food. She helped me eat, and although it didn't taste as pleasant as the food from the canteen or the food from the underground floor, I ate with vigor. I need my energy back as fast as I can. I can feelit. I know something's brewing out there, and I'd bet my toes this time that it has something to do with the captain. I did squats until my legs cave in.&n
Christmas is probably my worst time of the year. I had no animosity toward the holiness whose birthday is being celebrated. Still, I do have some problems with how we celebrate it. My name is Selena Garcia, eight years old and the eldest child of two, my father; I have no idea where he is. I do remember, though, that I had one until I was four. How I wish grandma is still alive. She's a bit grumpy, but she's very generous, unlike my uncles and aunts, who are very self-centered and condemnatory. So here I am, sulking inside my room, listening to their voices wherein I, alone, am the topic. "…that kid is very arrogant," said the spouse of my favorite uncle.
"Hey, Carlos! Pass the ball over here!" said the soccer team captain. I left my seat and walked away. Yawning, I sat down under the rumored hundred-year-old acacia tree, which had witnessed all the episodes of the city's public university ever since it was established. Watching a grade school soccer game from afar wasn't much entertainment as I thought. The students sitting on the bleachers cheered when the team scored. Will it be better to watch it with them instead? Naah. No matter where I am, who I'm with, I'll find the game boring. Besides, I don't have any friends. If there's so
"The one with my tattered t-shirt?" I asked. "What else?" Helga answered, chuckling like a witch. I really hate her squeaky giggle. It's creepy. "I did!" I grinned. The corner of her mouth twitched. She put a hand on my shoulder and gripped tight. Aw. "Then. Why. Are. You, Still with my brother early this morning?" she asked. She glared at me with such hate; I silently thanked God she's not a Medusa incarnate. Oh yeah. Did I forget to mention, Carlos is her younger brother? She has a severe brother complex if you ask me.Very disturb
I don't know whose voice was that, but I went to the Director's office right away. I can hear the murmurs from everyone wondering the same thing. It's the first time someone has been summoned to the Director's office. Most of the time, students get called to the faculty or the vice principal. I hurried anyway. It's against my principle to make other people wait. I knocked at the Director's Office, and his secretary opened the door for me. She looked at me curiously. Then, she asked me to go in. She left. I turned left when I arrived at a corner. "Good day, Miss Garcia," the Director greeted and put the papers he was holding down.
I sat down on a bench outside the Science building. I trotted out my chocolate bun and took a bite. I decided cutting classes would be okay now that I am about to go any time. My life is probably the worst a child could ever experience. Anywhere I go, I'm unwanted. Is there someone out there who's experiencing the same case? I hope whoever you are, you still have the fire to fight and defend yourself. I closed my eyes and smiled at the warm, soothing breeze which came upon me. If for just once I accepted defeat, I'd grow into a pitiable w
