"First day of school, Miss Williams. You're already late. Isn't it bad impression?" She scold me mildly.
All of my classmate were looking at me. First day of school yet student looks tired. School isn't fun anymore. We just want to do it because our parents told us to, not because we wanted to.
I rolled my eyes at her.
She saw me done it.
Huminga ito ng malalim saka niya ako sinenyasan pumasok na. Dumiretso ako sa likod at umupo sa gilid. Mabilis naman na bumalik ang guro sa gitna. Ilang minuto lang naman ang pagkahuli ko sa klase. Mayroon din akong mga naging kasabay.
"So, since it's the first day of your class. You guys are going to introduce your self. Isn't it fun?" She said like she was interested on us. Everyone agreed as if they like it.
"We're always doing that since from kinder." Ligaya said in dismissal tone.
"Yea. Its usual." I added in bored tone.
It's my turn when the bell rang. The teachers have thirty minutes only to meet us this week. But next week will be back in regular.
"Your birthday pass. Pero wala akong narinig kung anong happenings?" Ligaya asked. While she took notebooks and name it with her name.
I shrugged my shoulders. "Wala naman. Parang ordinary days lang." Sagot ko.
"Lagi ka namang ganon. May aasahan pa ba ako?" She said quiet.
"Goodbye class. See you, Tomorrow." She bid goodbye.
Saka ito lumabas ng kwarto. Lahat kami ay nanahimik pagkalabas niya. It's normal for students to be quiet in first day but after a week you can see them having a fight, crazy and talking wild.
Nakaramdam ako ng init sa katawan. Inabot ng kamay ko ang kaibigan kong si Everett. Mabilis naman itong tumingin sakin.
"CR tayo." Aya ko sa kanya.
Tumango ito saka sabay kaming lumabas ng kwarto.
"Sa tingin mo ba marami tayong gagawin ngayong pasukan?" Tanong nito sakin pagpasok sa banyo.
"Wala naman siguro." Sagot ko ng mahinahon.
"May gwapo kaya dito?" Hagikgik nito.
Inikot ko naman ang mga mata ko. Yoon palagi ang sinasabi nito sakin kahit saan. Sa mall, sa bahay, sa palengke.
"O, talaga? Hanggang dito ba naman?" Tanong ko.
Sinamaan niya ko ng tingin. "Pampagana kasi ng taon." She tsked.
Paglabas ng banyo ay naglakad na kami.
The hallways are clean, no students outside, seems like all students were inside their rooms.
"I don't feel like coming back to room." I speaked.
"Bakit naman?" Sumimangot ako. "Wala lang." Ngumiti siya saka nagsalita. "Tara! Libutin natin yung school." She convinced me.
Lumawak ang ngiti sa labi ko. Naglakad kami papunta sa canteen nang mahagip ng mata ko ang lalaking matangkad, singkit ang mata.
Tinapik ko ang balikat ni Everett. Lumingon ito sakin, saka ko tinuro yung lalaki. "Gwapo, oh." Sabi ko.
Narinig ata ako nito saka lumingon sa lugar namin.
Mabilis naman tinakpan ni Everett ang bibig ko saka niya ko hinila pababa. "Ano ba?" Nagtaka ako sa biglang kilos nito.
Ngumiwi ito at nginuso ang lalaking tinuro ko.
"Wag mo ng gagawin yon, ha. Mahuhuli tayo sa ginagawa mo." Sabi nito.
Tumango na lang ako. Nakayuko kami sa loob ng ilang minuto ng may nagsalita.
"What are you guys doing there?" Matipunong sabi ng lalaki.
Umangat ang tingin naming dalawa ni Everett. Saka nagtagpo ang mata namin. Parang tumigil ang oras sa paligid namin sa mga mata niya ko nakatingin. Ganon din ang ginawa niya. His green sea eyes, tanned skin, and freckled cheeks.
Gorgeous Man. I was hypnotized. I suddenly smiled at him.
Hinila ako ni Everett patayo at mabilis na tumakbo.
"Kailangan nating magtago. Bakit ka pa kasi nakipagtitigan?! Baka nakilala ka? That will be a problem, Zandra." Sabi niya habang tumatakbo kami.
Hindi ko na kinaya kaya tumigil ako sa pagtakbo. Hindi naman kami sinundan nung lalaki.
I seated on the rock for air.
"B-bakit ba tayo tumakbo?" Hingal na tanong ko.
Another bell rang means the class just ended. My feet feel heavy. My body feels hot. "Oh, Zandra! Anong ginagawa niyo dito?" Opia asked us.
Tumingin ako kay Everett. Sumenyas ito.
"Nothing. We just run to know who's faster between us." I stated. She seems convinced with my answer.
Naglakad ito palayo samin. "You need to be careful answering, Zandra. Madadamay ako." Everett said.
"By the way, Zandra. Mr. Martines is looking for you same with you Everett. Go to his office." Opia interrupt. Then smirked to us.
Everett glanced at her.
Mabilis itong lumapit sa pwesto niya saka nito hinila ang buhok ni Opia. "Aray! Ano ba?!" She yelled at Everett. Lumapit ang mga kaibigan ni Opia saka nila pilit tinatanggal ang kamay ni Everett sa buhok ni Opia.
"Sumbungera ka talaga kahit kelan!" Everett exclaimed.
"Gala ka talagang babae ka! Sinama mo pa si Zandra!" Opia yelled.
Her hand went to Everett hair and pulled her hair too. Opia and Everett were bestfriends before but I don't know what happened to them now. Mahigpit ang kapit ni Everett sa buhok niya ang mga kamay naman ni Opia ay napunta sa mukha ni Everett. Pinagsasampal niya ito.
Ang mga kuko nitong matatalas ay tumama sa balat ni Everett at lalong lumala ang away nilang dalawa. May nagsisigawang mga bata na din. May mga umaawat pero hindi nila kayang malapitan ang dalawa dahil sa lakas nilang pimiglas.
Naglakad ako papunta sa kanila para sana awatin sila pero biglang dumating ang isang guro na mukhang matagal na dito.
"Students! What are you doing!?" She yelled at them.
Mabilis silang naghiwalay. Kasing gulo ng pugad ng ibon ang mga buhok nilang dalawa. "You guys are having a scene! Gusto niyo bang isumbong ko kayo sa adviser niyo!?" She exclaimed.
ME AND EVERETT WE'RE IN THE MR. MARTINES OFFICE. Waiting for him. After the fight between Everett and Opia the Teacher who caught them didn't speak as long as they'll forgive each other. And that happened. They looked good as of now.
"Alam mo na ang sasabihin mo pag natanong kung bakit wala tayo sa klase niya, ha." Her fifth times repeating that sentence.
I sighed.
"Zandra, nakikinig ka ba?" She looked stress.
"Oo." Maikling sagot ko.
Bumukas ang pinto ng kwarto at napabaling kami doon. Suddenly, a man from twenties came inside. We first smell him. He smells good and lingering everyones nose. He looks formal and-
My mouth opened wide.
Everett eyes went wide opened.
Shit!
This guy is the one who caught us. The one we run off. When he saw me with my wide mouth a smirked written in his face.
I blinked. My hands search for Everett hands, I need someone to hold.
"Please sit down, Ms. Williams and Ms. Sung." I don't know but I heard his voice in a rough way.
I shook my head and seated on the chair. My eyes kept glancing Everett. My palms sweat.
"You guys skip five classes today. But entered the first period-- you guys cut classes." He stared at Everett.
Umangat ang tingin ko sa kanya saka ko nakagat ang ibaba ng labi ko. I don't know but I felt nervous that maybe my parents will know this.
"Ms. William, what do you think?"
"We used the restroom because Zandra's stomache aching. Sir, hindi ko siya kayang maiwan mag-isa. Kaya sinamahan ko po siya hanggang matapos siya, diba?" Everett looked at me asking help.
I swallowed hard then nodded multiple times supporting her.
His eyes were settled on me. That eyes looks something, emotion written yet I can't name those. She can still smell him. He is a Greek God. A jaw dropping, delicate, art.
He has heavy brows, shaved cheekbones, and veins on his wrists. But, he wear circular spectacles.
I can see that this dude has a well-toned stomach. The way he stand, with that great appeal he has. Scent of Guilty Pour Homme. Deadly.
"You're supporting her, Ms. William?" He asked me looking directly at my eyes.
I shifted my eyes on the floor and nodded again. "y-yes po." I need to stand being a Good Student.
He cleared his throat. "Good. You two looked saying the truth, since Ms. Williams supporting you." Para akong nakahinga ng maluwag doon.
I bit my tongue.
"Sir, uwi na po ako. Twelve na, hanap na po siguro ako ng service ko. Bye, Zandra." My eyes glared her.
How dare she leave me here? Tumayo ito at naglakad papunta sa pintuan saka ulit tumingin samin. "Bye po, Sir. Sorry po ulit." She smiled tight.
I'll leave too.
Tumayo ako saka naglakad papunta sa pintuan.
"Ms. William, do you think we're done?" He says smoky.
I heard his footsteps coming. My faced is facing the door. My heart beat went wild. This isn't good anymore.
I licked my lips. I'm nervous.
Suddenly his arms wrapped my waist. I felt like stoned in my position with him. It was a sudden action from him.
His arms wrapped comfortable. My heart was just going to blast. In an minute, he suddenly meters away from me. He ruffled his hair and blow hard.
"I-I'm sorry, Ms. Williams. You can go home now." He said in dismissal tone.
Saka ito bumalik sa pwesto niya. I was left dumbfounded. He is something.
