Chapter 4. Building Walls

Iilan pa lang ang estudyante sa classroom ng makarating ako sa susunod kong klase. I felt relieved dahil wala na ako sa madilim na lugar. Agad akong pumili ng upuan sa gilid ng classroom malapit sa may bintana na sa tingin ko ay safe na pwesto para sa akin, hindi ito nasa likod na siyang upuan ng mga lalaki, at hindi ito nasa harapan na laging napapansin ng Professor.

Unti unting napupuno ng estudyante ang classroom, ngunit di pa rin dumadating ang professor. I took my sketch pad out and started sketching to pass the time. Nagiisip ako kung paano ako makakabalik ng dorm ng hindi tumatakbo na parang isang duwag. I hate the dark because it makes me feel coward. But I guess that it's only natural to hate something that causes fear on you.

People around me are chattering softly, trying to make friends so that they wouldnt be alone. I envy them, my social skills are down to zero. Im completely clueless on how to socialize with strangers without offending anyone. People always expect you to say the right things.

"Hi."

Napatingin ako sa may ari ng boses na iyon. Ito yung lalaking nakaupo sa unahan ko. He has a brown hair and a tanned skin that's hinting his asian bloodline. Mukha naman itong mabait at halatang nageeffort siya na kausapin ako kaya naman ngumiti ako sa kanya.

"Hi." Bati ko.

"Ako nga pala si Quentin. Quen for short. Bago ka lang sa university na to, hindi ba?" Malumanay niyang tanong sa akin. He may be a stranger but for some reason, I felt comfortable talking to him.

"Yeah. Paano mo nalaman?" Nakakunot-noo kong tanong sa kanya.

"Hindi man kapani-paniwala, lahat ng estudyante dito ay halos kilala ang isa't isa. Hindi kasi karamihan ang estudyante dito kagaya sa ibang university. SU is an exclusive university. It's only available for the wealthy students, or for the talented and the smart."

"Oh. I guess I belong to the latter. Mataas daw ang result ng entrance examination ko, yun ang sabi nila sa akin." Im not so rich na mabibilang ako sa mga wealthy students. Hindi ko alam na may ganitong sistema sa Stavros University, but I guess I should have known. Ang limousine na sumundo sa akin sa may bus station ay isa ng patunay doon.

Sasagot pa sana siya kaya lang ay pumasok na ang professor. Ngumiti sa akin si Quen at saka humarap sa may black board, ganun na din ang ginawa ko.

"So class, Good evening." Panimula ng professor. Agad akong napatingin sa mukha nito.

"Wow." Bulong ko sa sarili ko na tanging ako lang ang makakarinig. Napatingin sa akin ang professor as if he heard me. But that's impossible since I said it quietly. Nonetheless, namula pa rin ang mukha ko sa kahihiyan. My expression must be very obvious.

The 'Professor' in front is too young to become a professor. He looked like he was only in his early 20's. He is very tall and has a golden skin that looks like it was glowing from inside. Overall, he looks like an anime character that came alive.

Sa mukha ng ibang babae sa room, mukhang hindi lang ako ang nakapansin sa kagwapuhan ng professor namin. Napangiti ako sa mukha nila, they must be thinking that it was worth attending this class no matter how late it is.

The professor smiled in amusement in front. Malamang ay sanay na siya sa ganitong reaksyon sa kanya.

"So again. Good evening. Im Sebastiano Stavros and I'll be your professor in Humanities. You may call me Mr. Stavros." Pagpapatuloy niya. "Now let me check your attendance before we start our class. Let me s--"
