Kingina, na-haggard ako 'don, ah.

I went straight to the cafeteria for lunch. I didn't tell them I was done with my paperwork so we might not meet again. I was surprised to see the cafeteria.

Bakit ang dami namang tao?

Nilibot ko ito ng tingin at nanlumo ng makitang wala ng bakante.

"Pero gutom na ako," kahit walang mauupuan ay um-order ako. Sa labas na lang ako kakain.

"You can sit here," a cold voice said. Palabas na sana ako pero nilingon ko ang pinanggalingan 'non.

A girl?

"Me?" turo ko sa aking sarili and she nod.

"Oh, thanks," umupo ako sa harap niya.

She's not familiar to me? Transferee ba siya?

"Yes, I'm a transferee," nagulat ako ng magsalita ito. Nagsalita ba ako ng hindi ko nalalaman?

"You didn't but your face tell it so..." she smirked without humor.

"Mind-reader ka ba?"

"No," she look so sophisticated even just chewing her food.

"Why are you alone?" tanong niya pagtapos ng sandaling katahimikan.

"Uh, I don't know where my friends are..." she nodded.

"E, ikaw? Wala ka bang naging close sa class niyo? Anong department ka ba?"

"Business and I don't have any  friends. I think they're afraid of me? I don't know," she said coldly.

"Why would they be afraid of you? You look so lovely and you're pretty at saka mukha ka namang mabait?" she glanced at me and I can see nothing but coldness in her eyes.

"I'm not kind," natahimik ako sa sobrang seryoso ng tinig niya.

"O-kay? By the way, what's your name?" she stared at me.

"Lesbian ka ba?" tanong ko dahil napapatagal na ang pagtitig nito. Baka naman type din ako nito? Aba, hindi ko pa nga nakakausap si Thor dadagdag pa---

"I like you," she smiled. Hindi na ito malamig gaya kanina.

"Ay naku! Huwag na! Madami ng naghahangad sa akin---"

"No, not that. I like you to be my friend. You seem nice and you're not afraid of me,"

"E, bakit parang inuutusan mo ako maging kaibigan mo? Wow, ha!" natawa kaming pareho.

"Amishta," she offered her hand and I gladly took it.

"Donnatella, nice to meet you, Mishta!" her forehead knotted.

"M-mishta?" I laughed when she stuttered.

"My nickname for you!" she slowly nodded.

"Ang ganda ng pangalan mo..." puri ko sa kaniya.

"I don't like it,"

"Why? Maganda kaya!" napalingon ako sa buong cafeteria dahil sa mga nagmamasid nilang tingin. Chismakers hmp!

"Don't mind them, they're just looking because I'm a newbie,"

"Bakit nga ba ngayon ka lang pumasok? Patapos na school year, ah?"

"I don't know too. My father just told me that I'm going to study here. And it's my first time studying in school,"

"First time? Pwede ba 'yon?" kunot-noong tanong ko.

"I'm homeschooled," my eyes widen.

"Ay, ang lungkot naman---"

"Donna!!!" napalingon ako sa gate ng cafeteria dahil sa mga pamilyar na boses.
