CHAPTER 14

14: The Epic Return

Luna's POV

"Good morning!"

My eyes narrowed when I saw his face again.

"Ikaw na naman?" Pigil ang inis kong asik.

"I'm glad you remember me." Nakangiti niyang sabi habang sinasabayan ako sa pag-akyat ng hagdan.

"How could I forget you if you keep popping up everywhere I go like a mushroom?" Sarkastikong bawi ko naman atsaka siya inirapan.

"I just started last Monday."

"Whatever."

Pumasok na ako sa loob ng classroom ko at since hindi kami magkaklase, hindi niya na rin ako nasundan pa.

I sat in my seat, and the entire class fell silent as they observed me. I'm not sure why they have to look at me like that—it was actually uncomfortable at first, but I got used to it. Instead, I casually took out my history book and began reading. If judging me every day keeps them alive, then go ahead. I'll simply stop caring.

"Hi!"

Ibinaba ko nang kaunti ang librong binabasa ko para tignan kung sinong nagsalita. Iyong babae lang pala na nakaupo sa harapan ko.

"What?" I replied shortly.

"Do you like Cloud?"

Kumunot ang noo ko, "Cloud?" Anong Cloud? Cloud 9?

"Yes. Cloud Rosales. The Council President. Iyong kasama mo kanina."

Napairap na lang ako sa hangin. Akala ko pa naman ay 'yung chocolate ang tinutukoy niya.

"If you like him, just go ahead and tell him. I'm out of that business." Mahina kong singhal bago muling nagbasa.

"No, don't get the wrong idea. I just wanna tell you to stop flirting with him or ako mismo ang makakalaban mo." She smiled sweetly, as if she would cut off my head if I did.

Bakit ba ang daming gustong umaway sa akin? Ganun ba ako kasarap kaaway? Parang 'di kasi sila nauubos. Badtrip na nga ako last Sunday dahil nasa mansion na si Imo Sohye, hanggang ngayon ba naman? Tss.

Nagpatuloy ang klase hanggang sa mag-lunch na. Ngayon ang unang Miyerkules ng Hulyo. At ilang linggo nang hindi nagpapakita sa akin si Hiro! Mas lalo akong naiinis kapag naiisip ko siya. I wasn't aware na pwede palang maging ghoster ang isang angel. Hindi sana ako masyadong umasa para 'di ako nababadtrip ngayon—at nasasaktan.

"Excuse me, Miss." Dumako sa pinto ang mga mata namin nang may kumatok. "I have something to announce." Si Mrs. Puerta.

"Good morning, Ma'am." Sabay-sabay na bati ng mga kaklase ko. In my case, tumayo lang ako like everyone else. I'm sure she wouldn't notice if I just remained silent—

"Good morning, Miss Francia."

—or not.

"Morning." I replied plainly before averting my gaze.

Wala nang sinuman sa school na 'to ang pwedeng tumawag sa akin ng 'Young Lady' dahil 'yun ang utos ni Appa. Since I'm not allowed to hold influence at school, this includes how people should address me. In short, once I enter the university grounds, I am no longer her daughter but a mere student under his control.

"Take your seats." Aniya sabay lakad papunta sa harapan. "I'd like to apologize for the last month's acquaintance party. It did not go through because of a scheduling conflict. There are numerous promotions at our university, but don't worry, we'll keep the party going."
