that girl

kurt vernon's POV

"uy alam mo ba na nag top na naman daw si kurt sa buong school"

"sus nag top lang yan dahil sa connections ng parents niya"

"gwapo nga sana pero parang wala din namang pakialam sa mundo"

"aanhin ko naman ang talino kung ang boring naman ng buhay ko"

"bading siguro yan kaya palagi nalang pinipili mag-aral at ayaw makipag barkada"

and just like how every other day would start, i could hear people gossiping about me. i never really actually cared kung ano man ang iniisip nila, it wasn't as if the world would stop revolving just because they criticize and talk about me.

i went straight to the room not minding all the people along the corridor. my phone suddenly rang so i had to pick it up not noticing that a running girl was about to hit me. and even before i could avoid the girl, we already hit each other and fell on the floor

"aray ko naman kuya, sana minsan try mo ding tumingin sa dinadaanan mo hindi yung cellphone ka lang ng cellphone" the girl said while trying to get the dust of her skirt

i was in a complete awe for a few seconds, it was like i was enchanted by her beauty and was being pulled by her deep blue eyes that tells thousands of emotions

"if you weren't running on the corridor then we wouldn't have collided on the first place, at tsaka kung tumitingin ka din sana edi hindi mo ako natamaan"

"alam mo kuya ang gwapo mo sana kaso lang masyado kang suplado tsaka conceited, isang sorry lang naman ang kailangan ko"

"bakit ako mag s-sorry sa kasalanang hindi ko naman ginawa? tsk you're wasting my time" i said

i was about to leave when she suddenly pulled my hand until our faces were only a few inches far from one another. and with that i was being hypnotized and pulled again by those deep blue eyes

"alam mo kuya..." she said and stopped at the mid sentence which made me even more nervous

"eto ang dapat sa mga kagaya mo" she said

and even before i could analyze what she said i suddenly felt a pang on my head and then i heard that girl shouted again

"try mo magbago kuya di bagay sa gwapo mong mukha yung ugali mo"

after hearing what she said tsaka ko lang na realize yung ginawa nung babaeng yun. damn that girl, did she just hit my head using hers?

while i was still trying to lessen the the pain the bell suddenly rang as a sign that classes are about to start

"Mr. Yu hindi ba dapat nasa classroom ka na? ano pa ba ang ginagawa mo dito sa labas?" Ms. Avilla said

"i was about to go to our room miss kaso lang may babae pong nakatama sakin kanina" i answered truthfully

Ms. Avilla is an understanding type of teacher that every student wishes for.

"you should go now Mr. Yu, i bet Ms. Quindor wouldn't like it if you would be late on her subject" she said and left

after a few seconds i analyzed what Ms. Avilla said and run as if i was being chased by a dog, I never really experienced na tumakbo ng ganito kabilis because i was never really late for class but because of that girl nagawa ko ang isa sa mga bagay na hindi ko pa nagagawa.

if Ms. Avilla is an understanding type of teacher i could say that Ms. Quindor is the total opposite of her, Ms. Quindor is more of a serious and deadly type of teacher. her stern look can already make people shiver and imagine what would i feel if i was being scolded using her strict and authoritive voice.
