It was almost 4 in the afternoon when our professor decided to dismissed us. What a very tiring day.
I'm on my way to the canteen when someone bump into me. I dropped my book but i didn't mind it. My focus is on the person in front of me who is currently crying. I immediately help her to stand up.
"What? Are you hurt or something?" Mahinahon kong tanong sa kanya. Maybe she's hurt that's why she is crying.
"No. No. I'm fine. I'm sorry. I have to go." Mukha ngang nagmamadali sya dahil tumakbo sya agad at hindi man lang nya napansin na nalaglag nya ang panyo nya.
I was about to pick it up, when i notice something. There is a blood stain in her handkerchief.
What is this?
Oh. Antonnete? That's the name that was engrave in her handky. Well, i knew that she's my classmate so, I'm gonna return it to her later.

The bell rang, I need to ran as fast as I can, so that I will not be late in our third period. Mr. Dela Cruz is one heck of a terror professor. All of us, we're afraid of him.
He's really scary.
As soon as I enter our room, i noticed that Antonnete is not yet in our room.
Where the hell is she?
We kept quite when Mr. Dela Cruz enter our room. He really has this aura that will surely make you trembled. For some reason, i don't know if it just me or he really look at me as if i did some crime.
What the heck?
I'm not bragging or anything but for your information, I am kinda popular in our school because I am the Editor-in-chief of our famous school newspaper, "The Arcēre", or the boat. By the way, my name is Veronica Steels.
I used to publish some article tungkol sa katiwalian ng mga professors or different issues that'll surely catch the attention of those uncontrollable generations of teen-ager who used to talk about other people's life. Well, I'm not excluding myself. Ako nga ang gumagawa ng pag-uusapan nila eh.
So as I was saying, bakit ba ganon yung way ng pagtingin sakin ni Mr. Dela Cruz. As far as I remember, wala naman akong ginawang article about sakanya.
Hays. Di bale na nga.
Nagpatuloy lang ang klase namin, pero hindi na bumalik pa sa room si Antonnete.
When the bell rang, mabilis kong inayos ang mga gamit ko. May tatapusin pa kong bagong article, deadline na nito next week. Bakit ba kasi konti lang ang staff ng newspaper eh. Ako nalang palagi ang namomroblema. huhu
Habang naglalakad ako papunta sa aming club room, may narinig akong nagbubulungan sa isa sa mga classroom. Dahil ako'y isang chismosa, sinundan ko yung bulungan.
Mr. Dela Cruz?
Boses nya ang nangingibabaw kaya nakilala ko sya agad. Hindi ako sigurado kung sino ang kausap nya kaya naman mas lumapit pa ako.
Bianca?
Sa hindi malamang dahilan, kinabahan ako. Anong pinag-uusapan nila? Kilala si Bianca bilang "Campus Flirt". Bakit sila magkasama?
"Nababaliw ka na ba? Dapat sinigurado mong walang nakakita sayo. Wala dapat makaalam nito." Halata sa boses si Mr. Dela Cruz na galit sya.
"Sinigurado ko naman. Magtiwala ka sakin, walang makakaalam." Sa hindi malamang dahilan, mas lalo lamang akong kinabahan.
Nang makita kong lalabas na sila, dali-dali akong pumasok sa katabing classroom. Dahan-dahan akong lumabas sa pinagtataguan ko nang masiguro kong malayo na sila.
What the heck is that? Are they having a secret affair? Gumawa kaya ako ng article about this? hehehe
No. That's too clichè. Madali lang naman itanggi na wala talaga silang relasyon eh. Hayaan na nga. I have alot of articles to do pa. I don't have time to add some more.
Mabilis kong tinungo ang clubroom namin. Tatapusin ko muna yung ibang gawain ko then after that, uuwi na ako.
Hindi ko namalayan ang oras. Alas sais na nang matapos ako sa ginagawa ko. Mabilis akong nagligpit para makauwi na ako.
Habang naglalakad ako papunta sa main gate, nakasalubong ko si Bianca. Hindi nya ako napansin dahil nakayuko lamang sya. Nang magkatapat kami, sinadya kong bungguin ang balikat nya, muntik pa syang mawalan ng balanse dahil sa ginawa ko.
"Oh. Sorry. Hindi kita nakita." Malungkot ang boses nya. Medyo pinagpapawisan din sya. Ano nangyari?
"Hey Bianca, okay ka lang? Namumutla ka." Kapansin-pansin na lalo pa syang namutla dahil sa sinabi ko
"W-what? Ofcourse I am absolutely fine." She even rolled her eyes on me.
"Chill. I was just asking." Hindi ko na hinintay pa na sumagot sya at iniwan ko na lamang sya doon.
I am so tired. Hays
