"Magbabasa na talaga ako bukas!" I shouted in frustration.

Tumambay ako sa G hall dahil maaga ang dismissal. It was the routine for first day, sasabihin lang ang rules at regulation ng school and such. So, I already started reading some notes I collected from the internet.

"Huwag mo ako landiin, badtrip ako ngayon." Sabi ko nang may maramdaman akong presensya sa likod ko.

He gently put his arms around my shoulders and peek over my notes in Fundamentals of Accountancy, Business, Management.

"Ang aga mo namang magbasa? First day pa lang..." malambing na sabi niya.

"May surprise recitation kami kanina!" I blurted out, annoyed because I wasn't ready.

"Uh? Pero first day pa lang..." Kumunot ang noo niya.

I pouted. "I know! Buti nga wala pa siyang binigay na take home activity. Kayo? Kamusta?"

"Nothing's really new. Subjects lang 'yata nagbago." He said, shrugging.

"Mahihirap subjects niyo? Ang dami naming math!" I said, horrified. Tatlo 'yata 'yon?

"Same," he chuckled. "Although I have more science subjects now."

He looks gorgeous as ever. His chestnut hair and brown eyes are tantalizing me. Hindi siya nakakasawang tingnan. The more I look at Sath, the more reasons I fall for him.

"I love you 3000," I smiled at him cheekily.

Hinilig niya ang ulo niya sa gilid ng leeg ko.

"I love you 3000," he whispered.

I know grade 12 will probably be more harder than grade 11 but I'm not scared. I have Sath with me. I don't really think anything could go wrong right now.

Sath's my boyfriend and my acads is still my priority. I can balance them both.

I think.

Weeks passed and I was slowly adapting into grade 12. Unlike grade 11, mas marami kaming specialized subjects ngayong semester. Business Finance, Business Math, at FABM.

Binabawi ko na ang sinabi kong Prob at Stats ang pinaka-ayaw kong subject. Hindi ko akalain na ni isa sa mga specialized subjects ng ABM ay hindi ko magugustuhan.

"May Philo kayo, 'di ba?" I asked Sath as we were dating in a study hub.

Ewan ko ba bakit parang normal na saamin ang mag-date sa mga study hubs o kaya pupunta kami sa museum para mag-date. It was weird but it was our thing.

"Yeah," tumango lang si Sath, not removing his sight on his notes. Ang linis niya talaga magsulat.

"That's for?"

"Gen Bio," he answered curtly.

Kaya pala seryoso ang isang 'to. Mukhang favorite subject niya.

Nagpalumbaba ako habang tinititigan si Sarathiel. 

"Pahiram ako ng notes sa Philo," I asked Sath.

Tumango siya.

"I think Iscalade has better notes on Philo though," nagulat ako dahil ngumisi si Sath. Parang may naalala.

"Bakit? Ano meron? Favorite subject niya rin?" I laughed.

"Ewan ko. Aral na aral siya roon e, pinag-aralan nga niya hanggang 2nd grading na." He was smiling.

I couldn't imagine this was the same person who used to always avoid talking to people. He's very talkative to me. 

"Kamusta pala sa accounting?"
