"Francis, mag aannounce daw"sabi ni Florence at tinapik ang balikat ko. "What? Oh, right. Please come in"I said and made space for the pretty girl infront of me. "Thank you"she said and went inside our classroom.

"Guys, mag aannounce daw si Ms. Alvarez. Behave guys, makinig kayo"sabi ko at pumunta sa gilid para makapag announce na si Ms. Alvarez. 

"Hello, I'm Floraine Alvarez from HUMSS 11 and Student Council President. Andito ako ngayon para masabihan ka'yo na from now on, ang mga clubs such as Chess Club, Dance Club, Sports club Etc. are now open for registrations. If intrested kayo hanapin ni'yo lang ako either sa SSC Office or sa HUMSS 11 classroom. Any more questions?"Tuloy-tuloy na sabi ni Ms. Alvarez. 

I can't call her by her first name, we're not close.

Bigla namang nag taas ng kamay si Elya. Yes, she's my classmate.

"Yes Ms. Hernando?"I asked. "May Gymnastics club ba diyan?"she asked. "Your classmate is giving out the list of clubs. See for yourself. Any more questions?"Ms. Alvarez asked. "How old are you Ms. Alvarez?"Herrero asked. 

"My age is not the topic here and my age is none of your business"sagot ni Floraine. "Bakit ka nag HUMSS Ms. Alvarez?"Germaine asked. "That is also none of your business. If you don't have anymore proper questions, i'll get going now. Mr. President, thank you for your time"sabi ni Floraine at lumabas na ng classroom.

"Ang lamig niya naman. Hindi ba umiinom ng kape 'yon? Para naman uminit init awra no'n"sabi ni Florence. "Rence"banta ko. "What? totoo naman eh. Masyado siyang seryoso"sabi niya. 

"Ugh, she's so mataray, kala mo ang ikinaganda niya 'yon"sabi naman ni Elya. "Eh ikaw? Kala mo naman ikinaganda mo 'yang makapal mong makeup, eh mas maganda pa nga sa'yo si Floraine kasi siya pure beauty, eh ikaw kailangan pa takpan ng makeup. Ew"sabi ni Florence at napayakap sa sarili. 

"Alright that's enough. Florence shut up. Ms. Hernando, stop saying such things to a person you haven't even met properly. That's not nice"i said. "Sorry Francis, but she is so masungit kasi"sagot ni Elya at inirapan ako. Sakto namang pumasok si Ma'am Hermano.

"Good Day everyone, please take a seat"panimula niya. Umupo na ang lahat at nakinig sakaniya. 

-Time Skip-

"Ok class, that's all for today, Class Dismissed"Sir Geronimo said and left our classroom. He was our last subject for today which was Pre Cal. 

"Frans, mauna na'ko. Inaantay na ako ni Aeson sa labas eh"sabi ni Florence. "Sure, ingat kayo"sagot ko at nginitian siya. "Bye!"sabi niya at tumakbo palayo sa akin. 

I chuckled at his actions before walking away from the classroom. 

While walking towards the exit of the school, i realized that it was raining. Hard. So i decided that, i would just stay in the music studio to pass time and wait for the rain to stop because i didn't bring my umbrella with me. 

I shrugged and walked towards the music studio. There are instruments there that we are free to use anytime we want. I planned on playing the guitar as i was writing a song. 

As i reached the studio, i opened the door and suddenly i can a guitar playing inside. 

"Oh? Someone's here?"I asked myself and peaked through the door. There i saw Floraine, playing the guitar, while singing. 

She suddenly stopped singing, but keeps strumming the guitar.

"You can join me if you want. I can feel you staring"she suddenly said. "Uhm, is that ok with you?"i asked. She stopped strumming and looked at me.
