Shattered Pieces of Trust

"Michael also mentioned their own report about Miss Jowardo. On process na raw 'yon,"

Tumango ako.

"As it should be. She created a whole lot of mess," I shook my head in disappointment.

I thought they were just exaggerating when they said tenth grade is really hard, but now I can also say that it is indeed hard. Idagdag pang hindi lang ang school works ang nagpapahirap, kun'di pati na rin ang ilang teachers.

Miss Jowardo, our science teacher for this year is facing a lot of consequences right now after some of her students all around our grade found out that she's fabricating our grades just to favor who's her favorite and whose parents pay her the most.

Now, we just hope that she has the real documents at hindi lang talaga nito hinulaan ang grades namin.

I can't believe this is happening at SWI...

"Sino pala ang kasabay mo mamaya? I can lend you a ride," Sebastian's smirk faced me.

"Hanggang kailan mo ako tatanungin n'yan?" I chuckle. "We have a driver,"

"Come on! Ang tagal na kitang inaaya, rito mo lang naman ako inaanyayahan sa canteen, 'yun pang pag wala si Denver. Magtatampo na ako,"

I just laugh and shook my head at him.

Sebastian and I ended up classmates.

I thought he wasn't serious about his texts that he wants to be friends with me, hang out with me, pero habang lumilipas ang panahon, madalas nga ang pag sama n'ya sa'min kaya natiyak kong hindi biro 'yon.

"May assignment ka ba sa math?" Tanong nito nang naglalakad na kami pabalik sa room.

"Meron,"

"Pakopya ako," malaki ang ngisi nito habang naglalakad nang pabaligtad dahil nakaharap ito sa'kin.

"Huh? Hindi pwede. Ituturo ko na lang sa'yo?" Ngumiwi ako.

"I like that even better," he smirks one more time before swiftly moving to my side.

At that, I saw Leon. Hawak-hawak nito ang siko ng pamilyar na babae habang nakatayo ilang hakbang lang mula sa aming room.

Tatlong lalaki iyon at dalawang babae. Ang isang babae'y nakamasid sa isang hawak ni Leon, tila nag-aalala. They seem to be in trouble. However, I feel like my stomach became hollow for some reason.

I love him.

When I thought I could just forget about this feeling, it became even bigger.

After our whole vacation together, madalas pa rin kaming mag kita. Ofcourse, lalo na sa school. Almost every day of seeing him, mas lalo kong na-realize kung anong nararamdaman ko sa kan'ya.

Minsan, nafru-frustrate na lang ako dahil sa lahat ng taong magugustuhan ko, si Leon pa. Si Leon na kahit ang lapit-lapit, alam kong mahirap abutin. He just thinks of me as his little sister, I know that. But what can I do? It's not as if I can eradicate this feeling just like that...

Few walks before we reach our classroom door, our vision met. Bahagya akong ngumiti bago tuluyang pumasok ng room namin.

As usual, Denver, Cassie and I are still classmates. Medyo busy nga lang ang mga iyon sa club nilang sinalihan dahil may paparating na program kaya ang madalas kong kasama ngayon ay si Sebastian.

"Nakakainis. Ba't kasi 'di tayo kasama sa holoween party 'no?"

"Kaya nga! Tapos postponed din ang year end ball natin this year," Cassie rolled her eyes.
