Mr. Sambata: Kyle, ang tagal na natin hindi nagkita. Upo ka muna—
Student A: Anong ginagawa ko dito?
(Mr. Sambata went silent before he opens his mouth again)
Mr. Sambata: Mr. Caramios, perhaps you should—
Student A: Mr. Sambata, I’m not joking right now. Anong ginagawa ko dito? I was supposed to be in an event a few hours ago ta’s nagulat nalang ako biglang may humarang na mga taga-olopsc. Sinabi for research purposes lang gagawin nila pero nung tumanggi ako naglabas ba naman ng baril. Ngayon andito ka pala, mag-explain ka sakin.
Mr. Sambata: Mr. Caramios, I will have to call security for your behavior. Please, settle down for a moment so we can start the interview.
Student A: (scoffs) ..Fine.
Mr. Sambata: Perfect, and just a heads up, I’ll be recording our interview for future research.
Student A: P’wede bang tumanggi?
Mr. Sambata: Nope.
Student A: Ay jusko, sige na, magsimula ka na.
(Mr. Sambata fixes his papers and raise his pen on his clipboard)
Mr. Sambata: Could you state your name and occupation, Mr. Caramios?
Student A: Kyle Alexander Caramios, hindi ko alam kung for a living ba ‘tong ginagawa ko, pero I do lead in organizations like in schools.
Mr. Sambata: I see, perhaps isa ka ring student council president sa dati mong school?
Student A: I.. ano? Hindi mo ba ako naging estudyante before? Surely you’re pretty fucking aware na ang naging presidente lang back in senior high was Elizabeth.
Mr. Sambata: It’s just for the record, Mr. Caramios. The faster you’ll answer, the faster we’ll finish.
Student A: Well, nasabi ko naman na ito before pero FOR the record, yes. Hindi lang siguro nung nag-aral ako.. dito. I just focused on being a productive student without handling much stress.
Mr. Sambata: I see, and you also do hosting other than organizing school academics?
Student A: Kasama naman talaga ‘yun. Pero respectfully, that's what I do for a living. Which you kidnapped me for no reason—
Mr. Sambata: Do you have any allergies?
Student A: ..Ano? Allergies? I-I.. What does that even—
Mr.Sambata: Just for medical records in terms for your stay here, Mr. Caramios.
Student A: For my stay..?
(Student A can be heard sighing as starts to talk again)
Student A: ..Wala naman, sa pagkakaalala ko.. pero anong ibig mong sabihin sa stay?
Mr. Sambata: Any symptoms we should be concerned about?
Mr. Sambata: I’m afraid I don’t have the information to share with you.
Student A: (Sarcastic Chuckle) S-seryoso ka ba?! Grabe, I wonder what kind of teacher who wouldn't share any information with his fellow students before. Oh! Also a fucking HUMSS teacher, with interesr in law and politics. Bakit kaya?
Mr. Sambata: Mr. Caramios, uulitin ko sa’yo. Wala akong mabibigay sa’yo na sagot as of the moment.
Student A: Dahil?
Mr. Sambata: Dahil wala akong authority para sabihin sa’yo yung nalalaman ko.
(The room went quiet as Mr. Sambata adjusted his throat before speaking once again)
Mr. Sambata: I apologize. Do you have any symptoms, though?
Student A: I-.. (sigh) ..Ngayon, may sipon ako, pero hindi naman malala.
Mr. Sambata: What about phobias, may mga phobias ka ba na gusto mong i-share?
Student A: ..Wala naman akong ganon..
Mr. Sambata: Alright, and one more question before you go on your way to your destination.
Student A: Destination? Dito ba sa loob ng premises na’to?
Mr. Sambata: Yes, Mr. Caramios. You’ll be on your way right after this.
Student A: Bryan I.. this is fucking insane of you! Bakit yung batch pa namin yung inisip niyong dagipin—
Mr. Sambata: If there’s one dream that you could choose, what would that be? and why is that?
Student A: I.. A dream..?
(Student A went silent for a moment during the questioning before he spoke once again)
Student A: Depende sa dream na sinasabi mo. Pero kung yung dream na ‘yun involve sa pag-alis ko dito, edi oo. I’ll take that.
Mr. Sambata: Alright, thank you for answering your questions, Mr. Caramios. You’ll be escorted back to your room now.
Student A: Kwarto? May kwarto tayo dito sa school?
Mr. Sambata: Of course, Mr. Caramios.
Student A: B-Bryan, I have a fucking event to attend to. Wala silang swap sa akin at nagpractice ako all night just to get kidnap!
