Missing You Ms. Lopez

Part 4

Mabilis natapos ang klase buong maghapon. I decided to walk nalang muna pauwi ng bahay kasi ilang kanto lang naman ang layo from home to school.

"Bianx!"
Lumingon ako from where the voice came from.

"Finally! hoooohh! napagod ako kakahabol sayo sister.." Amy said.

"Nauna na ako sa inyo kasi akala ko gagala pa kayo."  I answered.

"Oh that? Hindi na muna.... Hindi rin naman kasi namin makikita doon si Adrian..You know, siya lang naman kasi sinusundan namin hahahaha."

"Haha, what's about that matter? Pwede namang magliwaliw kayo ng mga group of friends mo without following Adrian diba?" I uttered.

"Like duhh... Bianx he's really hot to the point na I can't look or appreciate any man na sinasabi nilang gwapo. I know maraming gwapo at hot sa school but once nahuli ng mga mata mo ang isang Adrian Grimson, you'll definitely want to look at him for the rest of your life... Iba kasi yung kamandag ng ka-gwapuhan niya sis, gets mo?"

"Gwapo nga masungit parin.."

"Kahit na masungit siya, may ibubuga naman sa ka-gwapuhan diba..?
and to tell you, matalino din yun.. Top nga siya sa klase ehh..
Last year pa ako nagpapa-pansin dun pero NEVERMIND parin ang beauty ko sa kanya.. I also tried sitting beside him pero matalim na tingin lang ang ipinupukol niya.."

"Eh bakit habol ka pa ng habol? He's kinda rude tsaka parang pinaglihi yata yun sa iceberg ehh.."

"Hahahahaha Bianx you're funny... pinapahalata mo lang talaga na you like him too... A woman would never say such things kung wala kang gusto sa kanya.. 
uyyyy   aminin.... "  she kept on pointing her finger on my waist part.

"Tsss... haha no doubts Amy."  I whispered..

"Hahaha ayowwwn naman pala eh..  So, paunahan nalang tayo? Alam ko may tinatago ka ring kulo eh hahaha.." sambit pa ni Amy..

"Sure.. count me in hahahha.." I answered as we both laughed..

The following days passed by so fast..
Marami rami narin akong naririnig na negative things about him.. I don't wanna believe it until I see it with my own two eyes..
Though rumors spread everywhere, I still wanted to pursue him... Duhh, in my whole life, ayaw na ayaw ko na nauungusan ako sa mga gusto kong gawin... Amy is a friend of mine pero napagkasunduan naman kasi namin na kung sino ang mas papansinin ni Adrian, the other one will back off..
So.. papatalo ba ako?

No! Never!

Halos araw araw nalang ako nagpapapansin sa kanya. Unlike sa ginagawa niyang pagiging cold sa aming mga kaklase most especially sa mga babae, he would just stare at me blankly kapag tinatanong o kinakausap ko siya.. Minsan nga winiwish ko na sana hangin nalang ako kasi alam kong pag tulala, may iniisip o may sasabihin man siya, palagi akong nandoon para mapakinggan siya.

Halos everyday ganun yung routine.. No ONE can make him smile or even grin a bit. He always look at things blankly na parang di nag-e-exist..
He's actually participative and active during class discussions, pero pag tapos na ang klase, balik ulit siya sa pagiging cold hearted niya.

"Uhhmm.. Adrian, here are your test papers." pag-aabot ko sa kanya ng kanyang test papers...
Today's our monthly examination at ako yung inatasang magbigay ng mga yun.

"thanks" I heard him said with a grin on his face..
Di ko alam kung para sa akin ba yun o para sa mga questions sa test papers. Napa-smile ako.. Those words kept on rewinding on my mind..

'I can make him grin.' I thought kahit di ako sigurado kung para sa akin ba yun..

"Soon, I'll make you smile... Hindi lang smile yun, tawa pa.." I mumbled then started to answer my test papers.

Magto-two months narin kaming seatmates and my plan of making him smile is still a goal to pursue..
Wala naman siya sigurong girlfriend kasi wala naman kaming nababalitaang dine-date niya.
Kagaya ko, marami parin ang umaasang makita siyang ngumiti. Hindi naman sa nakakaumay yung poker face look niya ,pero kasi mas maganda talaga kung ngumingiti siya.. It would make him even hotter.. hihihi..

"H-hi... " greet ko sa kanya.
"G-good M-morning."  I added... still no response parin.

His phone suddenly rang.

"Yes?" he said habang nakatuon sa kanyang tenga ang kanyang phone.

"Oh... sure?.."
"Yah... yah... I promise... "
"Sige..... bye..."
"You too.. take care a'right?.."
"I miss you more... "
"'kay, I love you too... I'll hang up now.."  sunod sunod niyang sagot sa kanyang kausap.

'Who might that be?' isip ko... 

L e i s u r e   t i m e

Kakatapos ko lang mag-break with Amy's group of friends. Pabalik na kami ng classroom ng makita namin si Adrian na kinakausap ang aming teacher.

After the break, pumasok na kaming lahat sa kanya kanya naming classroom. Through my peripheral vision, I saw him stood up at lumabas. I continued doing stuffs when a little while later naunang pumasok si Adrian habang may tatlong bagong mga mukha ang nakasunod sa kanya.

"Okay... everyone..."  pagkuha ng atensiyon sa amin ng guro.

"We have new transfer students here.. Since ,katatapos lang ng second quarter examination natin, we accepted transfer students sa class na to.. I do hope you'll be nice sa kanilang tatlo."  We all looked at the transferees..

"In fairness, ang gaganda nung dalawang babae, tsaka gwapo din yung lalaki.. "  G1 said.

"May I request our transferee's to please introduce yourselves first.."  sabi ng guro namin.. The 3 of them just nodded tsaka nauna magpakilala yung isang babae.

"Hi everyone.. I am Nika Ayen Mendoza, you can call me Nika.."  sabi nung curly hair na mamula mula ang buhok.

"I'm Jeff Thaniel Anderson." pagpapakilala naman nung lalaking parang labanos sa puti.

"Schiara Sxhan Lopez is the name..you can call me Sxhan.." sabi naman nung babaeng may brown curly hair.

"ThAnk you students.. I am Miss Alliyah Morales, your class adviser."

Umupo ang tatlong transferee sa vacant seats sa pinakahuling row.

Tuloy tuloy ang klase namin until...

"Oh my gosh...!" tili ng isa kong kaklase..

We all looked at her direction at nakita naming nakahandusay sa sahig yung isang transferee... Si Sxhan yata yun.. Agad namang tumayo ang katabi ko (Adrian) and immediately went to Sxhan's direction..

Tiningnan ko naman ang dalawa pang transferee and they seem so worried.. Siguro magkakilala talaga yung tatlo..
Jeff was calling someone on the phone habang pinapaypayan naman ni Nika si Sxhan..

"Dalhin natin siya sa clinic!" sambit ng isa naming kaklase..

"She hates being carried to a clinic or hospital.." biglang sagot ni Adrian na ngayo'y nakaupo sa sahig, sa tabi ni Sxhan..

" Magkakilala kayo?" singit ni Amy but Adrian just stayed silent..

"I'll take her home." Adrian said while looking at Jeff na nakatingin din sa kanya..
Jeff nodded tsaka binuhat na ni Adrian si Sxhan palabas ng classroom.

My classmates keep on chit-chatting about what happened.. These 3 tranferee seem to know Adrian very well..
