My smile faded instantly and my cheeks heated. I quickly surveyed the whole cafeteria but I didn't see him. Gosh, how embarrassing! I felt like my blood went up to my head.

Muntik ko nang matapon ang cellphone ko dahil sa inis at hiya. Hindi ko na napansin kung ano na ang naging itsura ko. Ang alam ko lang ay napahiya ako ng sobra.

Ilang akong lumibot ulit ng tingin sa paligid. Iisipin talaga ng ibang studyante na may katextmate ako. Nakakahiya! Mabilis kong tinapos ang pagkain para makaalis na. Sana'y hindi nalang ako sa cafeteria kumain at sa labas nalang.

Pagbalik ko nang office, sumalubong sa akin si Prof Linda, the assistant of our dean. "Ms. Sperbund, we'll have a faculty meeting in the conference hall at 2:30. Classes beyond that time are cancelled."

"Noted prof." I answered. Sa tingin ko tungkol sa teachers day or teachers night ang paguusapan. Malapit na kasi iyon at hindi mawalala ang program at presentations.

Pagkatapos ay dumiretso na ako sa restroom ng office para mag- toothbrush at mag-ayos na rin.

"See you tomorrow class," I said delightly and waved my hand a little.

"See you prof," sagot naman nila. It was my 1:30 class and my last class for the day since mayroong faculty meeting. I was supposed to have another class with Kugimiya at 3:30 but classes beyond 2:30 were cancelled. Nasaan kaya siya? Hmm.. I was starting to get nosy with his life.

"Prof, have you seen the new instructor?" Crissa, one of my students, asked while I was fixing my things on the table. She was a fourth year too like Kugimiya but in a different section.

New instructor? Wala naman akong nakita o nakasalubong na bagong mukha kanina sa hallway o sa office. "I didn't know about that. Is she from our department?"

"Actually, it's a He, prof and he's from the engineering department. Our new calculus teacher." She whispered.

I was surprised. "Really? I may be meeting him later at the meeting." I smiled, not really interested of her news.

"He's gwapo prof." She winked at me and chuckled. Sinusubukan akong tuksohin ngunit mukhang siya naman etong kinikilig.

My eyes widened. "Stop it Crissa, someone might hear you," pabulong kong saway sa kanya, pinipigilan ang sarili na mapangiti. Nakakahawa kasi ang mahihinang pagtawa niya at hindi iyon dahil sa kinilig ako no!

"Good luck prof." Mas lalo pa niyang tukso.

"Hey, stop it." Saway ko ulit sa kanya at nilagay ang index finger ko sa gitna ng mga labi ko. Tinikom niya ang mga bibig niya at tila ba'y zipper ito na kanyang sinara.
