"Mockingbird"

"Student duty!" 

Tawag ni Mrs. Gina their literature teacher sa student duty ng araw na yon.

"Yes, Mrs. Gina!" 

Walang gana nitong sagot.

"Can you please read what is written in the board!" 

Mahinhin nitong sabi.

"I guess teacher, it's really unfair to call the student duty all the time, iba nalang po!" 

"Ah. .it's also unfair to wear makeup in my class all the time, san ba may lamay?"

Anito na ikinatawa ng lahat, Mrs. Gina is known for her black humor. 

"Perhaps, Ms. De Castro!" 

Tinawag nya uli ang kanilang student duty pero dahil sinabi nitong wag tawagin ang "student duty"  tinawag nya ito sa kanyang pangalan na ikina bulanghit ng tawa ng lahat.

"Oh! I forgot we have a transferee here, Ms. Madrigal read it!" 

Lahat ay curious na nakatingin sa kanya.

"Yes. Mrs. Gina!" 

anya saka binasa ang nakasulat.

"What does it meant?"

"It was a sin to kill a mockingbird as they were innocent, the only thing they did is to sing their heart out!"

"Which mean?"

"Evil people hate them—"

"Why?" 

anito na parang tinatansya if Sophia really knows what she was talking.

"They always tell the truth!" 

"I heard you're a top student in your previous school!" 

puri nito sa kanya which makes everyone "Wow" to her in chorus, they could not believe what they just heard.

Ang buong akala nila, she was just a rich brainless na itinapon sa lugar nila. 

Napangiwi sya sa papuri nito.

"Perhaps you want to join us in literature—"

"I'm already in athletic club" 

She declined politely. 

"Perhaps Ms. Mendez?" anito kay Glaiza 

"I'm sorry Mrs. Gina, but I already join in musical Club!"

"Oh well!"

dimayado nitong sabi.

"Anyway, just incase someone wants to join us, we are always open. Goodbye class!" 

Anito bago umalis. Sabay-sabay silang napabuntunghininga ng marinig ang bell hudyat ng kanilang break time.

"I'm going to settle some business, you go ahead. I also need to asked Ms. Marry which grass should I need to pick!" 

Aniya kay Glaiza, sinundan na lamang sya ng may pag aalalang tingin nito.

She already get the list, ang problema nalang nya ay kung saan hahanapin ang herbiology garden. 

Their school is huge nahahati kasi ito sa dalawa, middle school at highschool. 

Sophie saw a herbiology sign pero umabot na sya hanggang dulo wala man lang syang nakikitang kakaibang damo,It was all trees. 

"Damn it! atleast binigyan man lang nila ako ng mapa"

inis nyang bulong, She was about to turn around ng may makita syang building, nakaabot na pala sya sa building ng mga lalaki.

Out of her curiousity she continue hanggang sa may nakita syang mga studyante na may binubully.

"You're curiousity always got the best of you!" 

naalala nyang sabi ni Mr. terrorist sa kanya and here she is again.

"Asan ng pera ko!" 

anito habang hawak ng mahigpit sa kwelyo ang isang studyante lalaki.

"Yan kasi mahirap sa inyong mga patay gutom eh, napaka tigas ng ulo niyo kaya madalas kayo nasasaktan!" 

anito na bigla nalang sinuntok ng malakas ang kawawang lalaki.

"Search him!"

utos nito sa iba pang naroon, they search him.

"Boss, ito!" 

The student they called boss snatched the envelope. 

"Parang awa niyo na, allowance at pambayad ko pa yan sa school—"

Di na ito nakatapos sa ibang sasabihin ng sinipa sya sa mukha ng isa sa kanila.

"Seriously?" 

Sophia gritted her teeth saka walang ingay na lumapit at hinablot sa kamay ng lalaki ang envelop na hawak nito. 

She realized they were bullying the same boy from before and this time she choose to step on.

"What the hell?" 

Nang humarap sa kanya ang lalaki, Sophia give him a flying kick bago pa ito maka react.

"You bitch!" 

mura nito, he spit a little blood. nahimas nito ang panga bago pilit na makatayo.

"Ano pang inaantay ninyo teach that bitch a lesson!" 

"Oh this bitch will kick your ass nicely!" 

anyang naikuyom ang kamay.Saka isa isang hinarap ang mga lalaki, they were just a piece of chicken to her.

Kumpara sa mga nakalaban nya nuon wala sa mga kalingkingan nila ang mga ito, she just knock them off in an instance. 

"What are you waiting for?" 

gigil nyang bulyaw sa pinaka leader.

"Are you not going to fight me?"

"Don't come near me!" 

nanginginig nitong sabi pero dahil sa inis nya she give him a final blow, bumalandra ito sa pader saka impit na napaungol sa sobrang sakit.

She throw her black card. 

"Use it, para ipa ospital yang mga walang kwenta mong kaibigan!" 

Inilalayan nya ang lalaking studyante. 

"Se. .Sebatian?"

alanganin nyang tawag rito.

"What an old name!"

bulong nya sa sarili.

"can you walk?" 

tumango ito kahit nahihirapan.

"How did you know my name?"

confused nitong tanong sa kanya.

"It's in your tag, idiot!" 

anya saka pinaupo sa kanyang sasakyan.

"I'll send you in the hospital!" 

She sigh furiously while driving habang tinitingnan ng masama ang binatilyong nasa driver's seat.

"This making me nuts!"

bigla nalang niyang nasabunutan ang sarili.

"Seriously!? I was really trying myself to stay away from trouble!"

"I never asked for your help!"

Dahil sa narinig binatukan nya ng malakas ang lalaki.

"Haist. .You ungrateful bastard!" 

Sophia could not believe what she heard from him pagkatapos nya itong tulungan.
