Final Tease

Your story reminds me of a story our science teacher told us when we were still freshmen in HS.

She said that back in the late 80s, there weren't enough rooms to accomodate all of the HS students that they have to split shifts. There were morning sections and afternoon sections. Well she said that she had a student who had an aneurism while she was in school one day. The girl was brought to the hospital that same day....*FYI: The reason why it kinda meant something to us was the fact that she belonged to the same section as we were during that time*

Later on that day, nag uwian na yung mga morning studes while the afternoon students were still on their way. The building was deserted, however;it was school policy for teachers to walk through the buildings and check every classroom to make sure no students are lingering. There was this one lady *and she still works there* who made the rounds that day. She was walking around in her flip flops and with rollers on her hair - a big policy NO-NO. Our classroom was located at the third floor and it was also the one closest to the stairs. So as soon as Ms. C stepped on the third floor, she saw the girl standing by our classroom door with a big smile on her face. "Miss ah," she said "diba bawal yan?" pabiro niyang sinabi *referring to her flip flops and rollers*. Ms C dismissively told her "Ikaw ah, umuwi ka na, bakit ka pa nandito?" and assuming that the girl would leave, she went on with her rounds and continued to walk down the corridor.

...when she was done with her rounds, she went back to the faculty room to find a solemn teary-eyed staff...

"What's the matter?" she asked them

"Yung parents ni ______ *girl who had an aneurism earlier, ALSO the SAME girl the teacher saw upstairs* tumawag kanina lang...patay na raw si _______ half an hour ago.."

"Patay? Ano kayo! Eh nakita ko lang siya sa taas kanina eh, pinuna pa nga ako dahil naka flip flops at naka rollers ako!"

.....so sad though......we even looked her up in the year book and if I remember correctly, we even offered a little prayer for her soul....
