Nathalia's POV

I was left here alone, at the room. I'm waiting for Margo and Angela.

I took a glance in my swollen feet. I don't have idea what to do here to make it beter.

Bakit ba naman kasi nakalimutan kong may assignment pala kami?

My eyes turned to the door when I heard that someone is coming.

"Nathalia..."

'It's Adrian.'

"What was this spreading video clip?" nagsalubong ang kilay niya.

"Anong video?" nagtatakang tanong ko.

"This." he showed me his phone before he played the video.

Napataas ang kilay ko sa napanood ko sa video. Ito yung sinisigawan ako ng baklang instructor namin. At talagang vinideo pa at kinalat ah. 'Mga tao nga naman.'

"Where did you get that?" I asked. I'm embarrassed, why does he have to watch that.

"What happened to your feet?" imbis na sagutin niya ang tanong ko ay tinanong niya rin ako.

I looked at him, he's staring at my feet so I looked at my feet also, I moved it a bit even it's aching.

"Itanong mo sa baklang instructor na yun." napa irap pa ako sa inis.

I was just surprised when he suddenly dropped his phone on the armchair and then walked hurriedly out of the room.

"Hoy! Saan ka pupunta?!" tanong ko pa pero hindi niya ako pinansin. Sakto namang papasok sila Margo at Angela na may pagtataka sa muka.

"Anyare doon teh? He looks so upset?" nagtatakang tanong pa ni Angela saka inilapag sa katabi kong armchair yung lunch na para sa akin siguro.

"Ewan ko." I shrugged my shoulders.

"Is that his phone?" Margo asked and he grabbed it from the armchair. She played the video there.

"Tsk. Sino na naman kaya ang nag video nito?" taas kilay pa niyang tanong.

"Mga classmate na naman nating pinagkakatuwaan yung nangyari." sabi naman ni Angela na nakikinood rin.

"Halla teh, baka nainis yun sayo?" si Margo.

"Eh wala naman akong ginawa." pag depensa ko naman. Totoo naman eh. Wala naman akong ginagawa, bakit naman siya magagalit saakin? "Kumain nalang tayo." pag-aaya ko sa kanila.

Tumango naman sila saka umupo..Binigay sakin ni Margo yung cellphone ni Adrian. Pinindot ko naman ang off button saka ibinulsa ko muna. Sinimulan na rin naming kumain, nagugutom na rin ako.

A few minutes after we ate it suddenly seemed like a commotion outside due to too much noise. I couldn't stand to look at it because my feet hurt and I had just finished eating. That noise was as loud as the frog, it became so loud and louder.

I just saw Adrian enter this room and behind him is our gay instructor who's the reason why I can't stand now. Other students were around them, making noise. I was shocked and confused at what was happening, so were Margo and Angela, who were just next to me.

'What's the meaning of this, Adrian?!'

Adrian pushed the chairs causing them to fall over. He pushes the chairs that block his path towards me.
