Alexies POV
I decided to answer my homework here in the school garden. I stay at the small mushroom cottage here. Homework pero sa school ginagawa, bwisit kasi yung tatlo kung saan saan ako dinadala.
I spin the ballpen between my middle and index finger. Masyadong sumasakit ulo ko dito sa subject ni Ms. Lavigne, Engineering Mathematics, simpleng math formula pa nga lang nakakalimutan ko na agad. Sumasakit na ulo ko dito, 15 minutes left bago ako ma-late at kelangan ko itong matapos bago ako pag initan na naman ng ulo ni Ms. Lavigne.
"y is equal to e raised to negative t, cos 2t-" someone talked and I just stared at her. She's simple, she doesn't put any kind of makeup on her face. She's looking at my paper.
"Huh?" I cut her words
"The answer for this equation," she said while pointing at my paper.
"Uhm-" mag sasalita na sana ako pero bigla nyang kinuha ang pen ko. I bet she's wearing Johnson's baby cologne.
"Here" I look at my paper and she has already solved it. y= e^-t (cos 2t + 3/2 sin 2t). I feel relieved when I saw the answer.
"Some of your formula are wrong kaya hindi mo makuha" sabi nya and I hugged her na ikinagulat nya.
"Salamat, hindi na ako bubugahan ng apoy" tila naguguluhan at natatawa sya sa sinasabi ko.
"Madali lang naman yun" sabi nya and I shake my head.
"Engineering student?" She ask and I nodded.
"Ikaw?" Tanong ko sa kanya and she nodded too.
"New student, hahanapin ko sana yung classroom ko kaso naligaw ako dito. Pwede ba mag patulong sayo?" Sabi nya and I look at my watch. 10 minutes nalang.
"Patingin nga ng slip mo" kinuha ko yung papel at lumawak ang ngiti ko nang maglapat ang tingin ko sa section nya.
"Mag kaklase tayo gaga ka" lumaki ang mata ko at tinakpan ang bibig ko.
"Sorry," I say, I hate cursing the people that is not my close, baka kasi ma-offend sila at ma-misinterpret nila ang sinabi ko.
"Ayos lang baliw, sanay na din naman ako. Sabay na tayo" sabi nya at kinuha ko naman ang bag ko pagtapos kong ilagay sa bag ang notebook ko.
"Kelly" lahad nya ng kamay at agad ko itong kinamayan.
"Alexies" ngiti ko at tumango sya. Pareho lang kami ng height, and I can't deny na sobrang ganda din nya.
"Bakit ka pala lumipat dito?" Tanong ko, feeling close kasi ako minsan.
"May nag offer kasi ng scholarship sakin dito, maganda dito at pangarap ko din makapag aral dito. After mo kasi maka graduate dito sa LU at makapasa sa board exam may trabaho na agad na naka abang sayo" sabi nya and I just listen to her.
"Para pag naka graduate at naka pasa na ako as Engineer pwede na ako mag trabaho dahil may slots na ako for work na makakatulong kay Mama" sabi nya habang nakangiting naglalakad.
"Andito na tayo Kelly" binuksan ko ang pinto at pumasok naman sya, nakuha nya lahat ng atensyon ng mga classmate ko.
"Good morning class, get 1 whole sheet of yellow paper because we have a quiz. 1-50 all identification" Mrs. Dizon says at lahat naman ay nanlumo.
"Ma'am naman, first class ka pa naman namin. Baka hindi pa time ni ma'am Lavigne ay haggard na agad kami" sabi ng isa kong lalaking kaklase.
"I'm the one who's giving a grades" sabi naman ni Mrs. Dizon at bigla itong lumingon saakin.
"Transferee po" sabi ko at tinapik ko naman si Kelly tsaka ako pumunta sa upuan ko.
"Introduce yourself" sabi ni Mrs. Dizon at ngumiti ito kay Kelly. Hindi ma-alis ang tingin nya rito.
"Kelly Martinez, 20 yrs. old, I transfer here because someone gives me a scholarship here. I'm not as wealthy as you can see but I hope you guys didn't give a friendship base on their wealth. Thank you" she smile and Mrs. Dizon started to clap.
"Cheap" I heard a whisper from Kylie that makes me glare at her, she look at me then she rolled her eyes.
"Sit beside Ms. Alcantara," Mrs. Dizon says, I get a chair for Kelly and put it beside my chair.
"Kelly, this is Ali" Ali smile at her and agad naman silang nag kamayan. Kung kanina ay mukhang badtrip si Mrs. Dizon, ngayon ay bigla naman itong ngumiti.
"Everyone all of you are exempted from the quiz, I want you to read and study the pages 106-130. We have a graded recitation tomorrow" bigkas nito at agad naman umupo sa teacher seat sa unahan.
"Mukhang wala ka sa mood?" Takang tanong kay Kelly dahil kanina pa ito mukhang tahimik.
"Wala lang" sabi nito at tila masama ang tingin kay Mrs. Dizon habang si Mrs. Dizon naman ay nakangiti sa kanya hanggang ngayon.
Some of students here inside are now started studying, yung iba naman ay minsan nag lalaro sa kanilang cellphone. Hindi sinasaway ni Mrs. Dizon dahil sinabi nyang may graded recitation at nasa kanila na yun kung mag-aaral sila o hindi dahil ang grades nila ay nakasalalay din sa kanila.
"Alex do you want to copy some of my homework?" Ali asks and I shake my head.
"Tapos na ako" sabi ko and she nodded. Ayoko namang umasa na lang sa kanya palagi, ayoko rin i-take advantage ang kabutihan nya. Problema ko na rin sa future kung aasa at aasa ako sa iba.
"Wait" I started at Ali.
"Your hairpin looks good at you, you're beautiful when you put some red lipgloss on you lips" nilagay ko naman ang iilang buhok sa likod ng tenga nya para mas makita yung mukha nya.
"I suggest na don't wear those thick glasses" I wink at her which makes her blush.
"Ano ba problema nya?" Mataray na salita mula kay Kelly.
"Problema mo?" Tanong ko sa kanya and she rolled her eyes while looking at Mrs. Dizon.
"Wala" bwisit na sagot nya at agad umiwas ng tingin kay Mrs. Dizon.
Natapos na ang oras namin kay Mrs. Dizon kaya lumabas na ito. Napansin ko rin na iba na ang mood ni Kelly ngayon. Mukhang may something.
"I didn't know that you're into cheap" I heard Kylie who's facing me while raising her eyebrows.
"Baliw ka ba?" Tanong ko sa kanya and she got offended base on her reaction.
"What the!?" She yelled and I rolled my eyes.
"Hey Alexies look at me" she snaps her fingers.
"I'm the one who can fill your needs," she says and I smirk.
"Look, Kylie, if you think sex is a need for me, sad to say but it's a wants tsaka you're the one who begs," I say and she clenched her fist.
"Ikaw naman pala nagmakaawa, tsaka pwede ba hindi ka cool nyan" mataray na sabi ni Kelly at agad bumaling si Kylie sa kanya.
"Bitch!? You have the strength to talk to me like that cheap?" Mataray na tanong ni Kylie.
"Don't you fucking dare" humarang naman ako dahil sasabunutan nya sana si Kelly. Tila naman naging sambungan ang classroom namin dahil sa ingay ng mga kaklase ko.
"What is this?" Bigla namang may dumating na anghel dahil sa sobrang tahimik. Lumingon ako kay Ms. Lavigne na nakataas ang kilay habang nakatingin saamin- ay mali saakin pala.
"Go back to your seats!" Sigaw nya at agad namang sumunod ang lahat.
"Ayos lang kayo?" Tanong ko sa dalawa at agad naman silang tumango.
"Into girls ka pala" sabi naman ni Kelly and I nodded.
"Ang pangit naman ng mga taste mo sa mukha pa talagang tanga" sabi nya at agad naman akong tumawa.
"Ms. Alcantara" I stopped laughing when I heard someone calling my name. My favorite voice.
"Yes Ma'am?" Masiglang sagot ko at agad akong ngumiti sa kanya.
"Answer this" she pointed at the board. I get my notebook and I started turning some pages.
"I'm gonna lecture this today, stop looking at you notebook 'cause you can't find the answer there" sabi nya at agad naman ako lumingon kay Ali. Umiling sya para sabihing wala talaga sa notes.
"Looks like someone didn't study" Ms. Lavigne raised her eyebrows and I gulp.
"I don't know the answer Ma'am" sabi ko habang naka yuko.
"Cinco" agad naman akong napatingin sa kanya.
"Ma'am naman" I pouted and she raised her eyebrows again.
"Matutuwa ako sa Cinco na ibibigay nyo po kung La Salle 'to" sabi ko and she look at me from the toes to head.
"Sad to say but it's not La Salle" sabi nya at agad naman akong nag lakad pabalik sa upuan ko.
"Did I told you to sit?" She says at tumingin naman ako sa kanya.
"Stand beside me" uto nya at agad naman akong sumunod.
She started discussing the lesson and some of my classmates are taking some notes. I look at Ms. Lavigne who continue writing on the board. She's so strict but I know she's doing it on purpose. She's good at lecturing, students are always following her. Isang titig nya pa lang manginginig ka na sa kaba lalo na sa recitation, mababa pa naman daw 'to mag bigay ng mga grades sabi ng mga naging former students nya. Ayaw nya rin sa mabagal, at tanga.
"Did you get it? I don't want to repeat it again" sabi nya at agad namang sumagot ng 'yes' ang mga classmates ko. Kung hindi ka talaga makikinig ay babagsak ka, hindi na nya uulitin ang ni-lecture nya, masyadong maikli ang pasensya nya sa 1 inch.
"I just want you to follow these formulas so you won't get lost and you can get the correct answer" sabi nya at agad namang binura yung nasa board. Marami sana ang mag rereklamo dahil hindi pa sila tapos mag sulat, kasalanan nila yan masyadong inuuna ang daldal.
"Ang hot nya talaga pre" narinig ko namang pinag uusapan ng mga lalaking 'to si Ma'am.
"Pag talaga naging kami ni Ma'am in private makikinig na talaga ako" sabi naman nung isa na kala mo natatae, ganun ba sya kiligin? Kadiri.
"Hoy, makinig kayo. Kala nyo naman papatulan kayo ni Ma'am, ngayon pa nga lang hindi na kayo nakikinig eh" sabi ko at akmang babatuhin ko sila nung eraser.
"Ms. Alcantara" natigil naman ako sa gagawin ko.
"Binabastos kayo Ma'am" sabi ko at agad namang umiling yung dalawa.
"Is it true?" Tanong ni Ma'am sa katabi nung dalawa tsaka ito tumango.
"Detention! I want to talk to your parents tomorrow" walang reaksyon na sabi nito at agad naman kinuha nung dalawa yung bag nila. Agad ko naman silang nginisian, mga bastos.
"You" Ma'am pointed at me.
"Go to my office and wait for me there , I'll talk to you. I don't tolerate that kind of action" sabi nya na ikinataka ko naman. Ano ba ginawa ko? Babatuhin ko lang naman pero hindi naman natuloy.
"Ma'am" tawag ko at agad nya akong nilingon.
"Now"she says and I nodded. Lumabas naman ako at agad dumeretso sa office nya. Bukas ito kaya agad naman akong pumasok.
Masyado na akong bored dito, napag isipan kong mag libot muna dito sa loob tutal medyo malaki naman ito. I saw a frame of a baby here, kamukha nya si Ma'am. Sasabihin ko na sana na anak ito ni Ma'am maso nakita ko yung pangalan na nakasulat sa frame, pangalan ni Ma'am.
"Cute" she's riding the bike while using her genuine smile. She's pretty when she's smiling. From the childhood pics her smile didn't fade not until when the adult pics came, it's all on her serious face. I wonder what's her look when she smiles.
I look at the frame hindi ito nakatayo kundi ito ay nakataob. Tinignan ko naman ito at agad kong nakita si Ma'am na nakangiti, she's hugging a man. I felt something is wrong with me, why do I feel sad?
Habang hawak hawan ko ang frame at agad namang may humablot saakin noon at binalik sa pagkakataob nito. Nakita ko si Ma'am na walang reaksyon na nakatingin saakin.
"Don't touch my things, I didn't put you here just to touch my things" sabi nya saakin at agad umupo sa chair nya. Galit ba sya? Hala ba't galit sya?
"Why am I here, ma'am?" Tanong ko sa kanya at agad naman nyang tinggal ang blazer nya. She's wearing a sleeves silk top. Bakit ba ang hilig nya mag hubad ng blazer sa harap ko? Torture 'to!
"Because of what you act earlier," she says.
"Which one?" I ask na kinataas ng kilay nya.
"The last one, you shouldn't throw something to someone, you're on my back I didn't know that you might throw it on me" sabi nya and I pressed my lips together.
"Pero binato nyo po ako dati, tsaka hindi ko po gagawin yun sayo" sabi ko naman habang sya tutok ngayon sa laptop nya.
"Because you're naughty" sabi nya and I smirk.
"Diba naughty girl should be punish?" I ask and she nodded.
"Of course," she says and I smile.
"I'm being naughty, please punish me, mommy," I say then she furrowed her eyebrows.
"What?" Takang tanong nya and I chuckles.
"You want to be punish?" She ask and I nodded. Lumapit naman sya saakin at agad pumwesto sa harap ko, ang lapit ng mukha namin.
"Turn around" she whispers which makes some of the hair on my body is standing.
"Oh, I like it" I chuckle and she stands up.
"What punishment you're going to do?" I ask tsaka pinakita ang nakakalokong ngiti sa kaya.
"Going to spank you," she says and I feel my cheeks heated up.
"Really?" I ask and she nodded.
"By this meter stick" sabi nya at agad naman akong tumayo.
"Ma'am naman kala ko naman papunta na tayo sa exciting part" reklamo ko and she raised her left eyebrows.
"I thought you want to be punish?" she asked and I pouted.
"Ibang punish kasi yun Ma'am" sabi ko tila naguguluhan naman sya.
"What kind of punishment- what the! You pervert" she was about to hit my using the meter stick when she figured it out. Tumakbo naman ako sa loob at iniiwasan lumapit sa kanya.
"Come here I'm gonna punish you" she glared at me at hinahabol nya pa rin ako. Mas okay sana kung ibang punishment yun eh baka tumigil pa ako.
