Lesson 5

"F uck you, f uck you, f uck you..." 

Paulit-ulit kong bulong sa sarili ko habang nakaharap sa dingding. Gan'to lang talaga ako buong period niya? Face the wall? I am wearing a 2.5-inch heels for Pete's sake!

My ankles hurt. My heels ache. My feet and legs are in pain. I am standing here for almost 20 minutes! This is so ridiculous!

Habang nakatayo ako rito mag-isa na parang loser dito sa likod ng room, sila naman ay nagtatanong kay Sir. He chose not to start teaching the first lesson of our Accounting class. Narinig ko kanina na mag-chill daw muna ang class. Chill your ass. Tss. How will I chill in this condition, huh?

"Sir! Where did you graduate pala?" Some guy in the class raised the question.

"Bachelor's degree or my Master's?" He clarified.

"Both, Sir?" Hmm... Now I am also curious. Let's see his credentials.

"Well I graduated 4 years ago here with a double degree in Accountancy and Economics. I passed the CPA exam the same year I graduated. I pursued my M.B.A. in Harvard Business School and my Master of Arts degree in Economics in Stanford University."

I heard a collective "woah" from the class. Harvard? Stanford? Well, not bad. Ivy League school pa.

"So Sir, why did you choose to teach?" May isa pang nagtanong ulit.

Hindi kaagad sumagot si Sir, napaisip yata.

"Oh, I have a personal reason that I cannot disclose to the class."

Then collective "awww" from the class. Nagpatuloy lang sila sa pag-interview kay Sir. I, on the other hand, am feeling the pain on my legs.

I guess I should remove my heels. And I did. Woah, now, I feel better.

I checked the time on my phone. 30 minutes to go and this class will end soon. I am fuckin' bored. What should I do? The internet is connecting poorly to my phone that's why I can't watch make-up or skincare tutorials huhu. How about sound trip? I am subscribed to Spotify Premium naman.

Scene One – James Dean & Audrey Hepburn by Sleeping With Sirens

I plugged my earphones to my ears and just listened to the music, ignoring what's happening in the class. Duh, I am treated as if I do not belong naman so I don't really care right now.

Stay for tonight

If you want to
I can show you
What my dreams are made of,
As I'm dreaming of your face
I've been away for a long time
Such a long time
And I miss you there
I can't imagine being anywhere else
I can't imagine being anywhere else but here

Maya-maya nagulat ako nang nakaramdam ako ng mainit na hininga sa batok ko. It sent chills to my spine. Sa sobrang gulat ko, I quickly turned to face who's behind me only to find it is Sir pala. 

Face to face. Close enough for me to notice he has hazelnut brown eyes and long eyelashes. He bent his body down earlier because he was much taller than me.

I blushed and immediately backed a few steps away from him.

I removed the earphones from my ears.
