I can take care of myself just fine.

SCENE 4

ang Ibong Adarna, diba?
AIREN: Kaklase ko pala silang tatlo.
STUDENTS: Yes, ma’am.
TEACHER: Get ¼ sheet of paper and try to answer these.
BULLY 1: Hoy, nerd. Pahingi ng papel at tsaka ballpen. Bilis!!!
BULLY 2: Gawin mo nang dalawa.
TEACHER: Okay, may papel na ba ang lahat?
BULLY 1: Ma’am, sandali lang po. Bilisan mo kundi tatamaan ka
sakin.

TEACHER: Students at the back, may problema ba?

BULLY 2: Ahh, wala po, ma’am. Hehehe.
TEACHER: Okay, number 1….
[LUNCH TIME]
STUDENT: Hi, bago ka rito no?
AIREN: Ah, oo.
STUDENT: Halata nga. Kanina ka pa kasi palingon-lingon na para
kang may hinahanap. Canteen ba?
AIREN: Oo, gutom na ako eh. Nakakagutom kapag may quiz sa first
day.
STUDENT: Halika, papunta na rin ako dun. Sabay na tayo?
AIREN: Sige.
[CANTEEN]
STUDENT: Siyanga pala, ano ang pangalan mo?
AIREN: Ako si---
BULLY 1: Ang tanga mo naman. Diba sabi ko sayo na ayaw kong
nababasag ang egg yolk ko kapag sunny side up ang ulam?
AIREN: Sila na naman. Am, kilala mo ba sila?
STUDENT: Yung nanggugulo? Oo. Yung babae, si Jean Suarez yan,
bunso ng mga Suarez. At yung dalawa namang kung sino, si Lucifer
at Lucian Montemayor. Parati nalang nilang pinagtitripan si Jean.
AIREN: Wala bang pumipigil sa kanila?
STUDENT: Wala. Halos lahat takot sa kanila dahil sa impluwensiya
ng kanilang pamilya. Pero mababait ang mga magulang ng mga yan.
Hindi nga namin alam saan nila nakuha ang ganyang ugali.
BULLY 1: Sa susunod, wag mo ng uulitin ang pagkakamali mo, wala
kang silbi.
BULLY 2: Nakakasira ka ng araw. Tayo na pre.
STUDENT: Oh, saan ka pupunta? Wag ka ng maki-alam at baka ikaw
isali nila sa mga napaiyak ng mga yan.
AIREN: Pero---
STUDENT: Walang pero-pero. Bumili nalang tayo ng pagkain. 10
minutes nalang tapos na ang break.

SCENE 5

NARRATOR: Pagkalipas ng isang buwan..

[TUNOG NG NAHULOG NA KUBYERTOS]
DAD: Anak, ayos ka lang ba?
JERRISON: May problema ba, bunso?
AIREN: Ku-kuya, yu-yung pinsan ba ng napupusuan mo ay Grade 11
student? Jean ang pangalan?
JERRISON: Oo, bunso. Bakit alam mo? Kilala mo ba siya?
AIREN: Kaklase ko po siya, kuya. Pero bigla siyang hindi pumasok
pagkatapos ng 2 linggong simula sa klase. Pero bago yun, nakita
ko siyang tumatakbo palabas ng school, tapos hindi ko na siya
nakita ulit.
JERRISON: Kailan yan nangyari, Airen?
AIREN: 3rd Friday po last Month. Bandang alas 4 ng hapon.
DAD: Baka may emergency lang.
AIREN: (whisper) Sana nga emergency lang, sana.

[DOOR OPEN THEN CLOSES]

JERRISON: Airen, kapatid kita at alam kong may alam ka. Ano ang
nangyari kang Jean?
AIREN: Binubully po siya ng magkapatid na Montemayor na kaklase
rin naming kuya. At dahil hindi pumapasok si Jean, iba na naman
ang kanilang pinagtitripan.
JERRISON: Kaya pala. Okay lang ba sayo na tawagan ko si Janice
para masabihan natin siya?
AIREN: Opo naman kuya.
[CELLPHONE RINGS]
OVER THE PHONE: Hello, Jerrison? Napatawag ka?
JERRISON: Ah, hi Janice. May nalaman ako. May dalawang nambully
ng pinsan mo. Palagay ko yun din ang dahilan kung bakit may mga
pasa siya at ayaw na niyang pumasok.
OVER THE PHONE: Saan mo nalaman to?
AIREN: Hello, ate Janice? Ako nga pala si Airen.

SCENE 6

BULLY 1: Nakakatawa talaga yung mukha ng bata. Hahahah

BULLY 2: Umiiyak ng may uhog. Hahahaha

BULLY 1: Ah, wala ma’am.
BULLY 2: Wala po, ma’am.
BULLY 1: Sige po, alis na po kami. May klase pa po kasi kami.
TEACHER: Sandali lang.
BULLY 2: Bakit po?
TEACHER: Hinanap ko talaga kayong dalawa dahil may nagreklamo sa
inyo at pinapatawag din kayo sa opisina. Ngayon din.
BULLY 1: Ma’am, wala po kaming ginagawang masama?
BULLY 2: Opo, ma’am. Baka kung sino man yang nagreklamo laban
samin ay naiinggit lang, diba tol?
TEACHER: Ahh, ganun ba? Kung wala nga kayong ginawa, sumama kayo
sakin sa opisina.
BULLY 1: Tol, takbo!
TEACHER: Lucifer, Lucian. Bumalik kayo rito.
BULLY 2: Ano kami? Tanga?
BULLY 1: Ayaw naming sumama sayo. NADAPA. A-aray. Sino ka ba

JANICE: Ako? Pinsan ko lang naman ang biniktima niyo.
BULLY 2: Tol, ayos ka lang? Ang lakas ng loob mong --- SUSUNTOK

[WHISTLE]
GUARD: Lucifer, itigil mo yan.
AIREN: Kuya!!!
BULLY 2: Ikaw?! Sabi ko na nga ba. Pinagmamasdan mo kami dati pa.
Ikaw ang nagsumbong samin diba? Sumagot ka!
JERRISON: Wag mong sinisigawan ang kapatid ko, pare, at baka
magsisi ka.
TEACHER: Idala niyo nayan sa opisina.
GUARD: Sige, ma’am.
TEACHER: Ms. Suarez?
JANICE: Susunod nalang po kami, ma’am.
TEACHER: Sige.
JANICE: Bakit mo ginawa yun? Kaya ko ang sarili ko, Jerry.
JERRISON: Nag-alala lang ako sayo, Babiloves.
AIREN: Aray.
JERRISON: Ayos ka lang, bunso?
JANICE: May masakit ba sayo?
AIREN: Ayos lang ako kuya, ate. May langgam lang kasi hehe. Ang
tamis lang ng paligid. Makapunta na ngalang sa opisina.
JERRISON: Ikaw talaga.
JANICE: Kasalanan mo yan, Salazar.
JERRISON: Ano na naman ang nagawa ko? Ang alam ko lang ay mahalin
ka eh.
JANICE: Nakakainis ka. LUMAKAD PALAYO.
AIREN: Halaka, kuya. Ginalit mo si ate.
JERRISON: Hayaan mo na. Susuyuin ko nalang mamaya. Tara na sa
opisina.

SCENE 7

GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: Lucifer and Lucian, as what you have all

know, someone had filed a complaint about you and when Miss
Torres told you to come here to the office you ran away and
nearly hurt someone.
BULLY 1: And? So what?
BULLY 2: You think we give a damn?
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: Language, Mr. Montemayor.
BULLY 2: And what you gonna do about it?
[KNOCK ON THE DOOR]
MRS. MONTENEGRO: I came as fast as I can.
BULLY 1: What are you doing here?!
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: We tried to call your parents here for this
matter.
MRS. MONTENEGRO: Kuya said he can’t make it. He is in Japan right
now and Ate is in Cebu.
BULLY 1: Like always.
BULLY 2: As if things will change.
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: So, miss?
MRS. MONTENEGRO: Ow, it’s misis. I’m Carla Montenegro, and here
on behalf of my brother, their dad.
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: Well, I will get this straight. Your nephews
were given a warning because of their behavior on the second week
since the school started. And because this is the 2nd time,
according to our school policies, they will be suspended for a
month. But---
MRS. MONTENEGRO: But what?
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: But your nephews behavior pushed someone to
not attend school for 3 weeks now and that student have bruises
all over her body. And now, another 2 students have requested to
be transferred to another school away from here also because of
your nephews ---
BULLY 1: That’s not true! You’re lying!
BULLY 2: You don’t have evidence to prove your claim.
MRS. MONTENEGRO: Shut up, you too.
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: Actually, we do.

[FLASHBACK]
AIREN: Hello, ate Janice? Ako nga pala si Airen. Kaklase ako ni
Jean.
JANICE: Hi, Airen. May alam ka ba tungkol sa kung ano ang
nangyari sa pinsan ko?
AIREN: Opo, ate. May nanggugulo po kasi sa kanya na kaklase rin
namin.
JANICE: Alam mo ba ang kanilang mga pangalan?
AIREN: Opo, ate. Sila Lucifer at Lucian Montemayor. Parati po
nilang pinagtitripan si Jean.
JANICE: Sila pala ang may kasalanan.
AIREN: Bakit po ate?
JANICE: Umuwi siya dito samin sa ikatlong biyernes noong
nakaraang buwan, umiiyak at may mga pasa. Ayaw niyang kausapin
ang mga magulang niya at ayaw na rin niyang pumasok.
AIREN: Ate, pano kung isumbong natin.
JANICE: Hindi, wag muna. Kailangan nating humanap ng ebidensya
na magpapatunay na totoo ang ating irereklamo.
AIREN: Ako nalang ang maghahanap ate. Palihim ko silang susundan
tapos bi-video-han at kukunan ng litrato kapag may inapi na
naman sila.
JANICE: Delikado ang gagawin mo, Airen. Hahanap nalang tayo ng
ibang paraan.
JERRISON: Para kang nanay kung mag-alala ka kay Airen, ah. May
potensyal ka ngang maging ina ng mga anak natin, mahal.
JANICE: Tumigil ka, Salazar. Ayokong nakipaglolokohan sayo.
JERRISON: Seryoso ako sayo, Janice. Hindi kita pinaglololoko o
lolokohin.
AIREN: Aherm. Sige na ate. Ako ng bahalang kumalap ng
ebidensiya. Wag kang mag-alala. Hindi ako magpapahalata.

[PRESENT]
BULLY 1: You are bluffing.
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: But I’m not. And the video was already in the
hands of the Administrator. We tried to find a way to lessen the
punishment but as what happened earlier, the Administrator and
the board, wants your nephews to be banned from studying at this
school, Mrs. Montenegro.
BULLY 2: You can’t do this. We have our rights here.
MRS. MONTENEGRO: That’s enough, you too. Mrs. Corpuz, is there
anything else that we should know so I can tell my brother about
it?
GUIDANCE COUNCILOR: There is one thing. The Suarez family, the
girl that didn’t show up for 3 weeks, wanted to file a case
against your nephews. And given the evidence that they have, the
case will be valid.
MRS. MONTENEGRO: Thank you, Mrs. Corpuz. We will be off now.
BULLY 1: You haven’t heard the last of us.
[A FEW MONTHS LATER]
ANNOUNCER: Criminal No. 401203 and 401204, Mr. Lucifer Montemayor
and Mr. Lucian Montemayor, with all the evidence presented at
court and had been provided with validity, are found guilty and
hereby sentenced to 6 years of imprisonment.
JUDGE: Case closed. (DALAWANG HAMPAS)
JERRISON’S POV: Nasarado na ang kaso at nakulong ang magkapatid.
Bumalik na ang sigla ni Jean at naging close na sila ni Airen. Si
papa naman ay napromote bilang manager ng branch. At si Janice
naman, ayos lang kami. Siya ang nagbigay sakin ng motivation para
mas magsumikap sap ag-aaral. At dahil dun, alam kong magiging
masaya ang mga susunod na panahon na kasama ko ang aking pamilya.
THE END
