Atherelle's POV
Gaviel and not Ezran
"Sorry, masakit ba 'yon, miss?" the guy asked in worry.
He is holding a Carotolina and he accidentally hit my arm through it. I shake my head when I'd back to my senses. This isn't him. How could he be, right? Baka magkaparehas lang ng mata. I just saw his eyes in the picture and not personally, anyway.
"I'm okay," I said
"Oy, ang ganda." I heard his friend beside him whisper.
Nakita ko pang patago niya itong siniko sa tagiliran. His friend fakes a cough and awkwardly looks at nowhere.
"Ang ganda ng ano... sapatos." Hilaw siyang ngumiti.
"Can you tell me where the Dean's office is?" I asked.
"Hatid na kita, miss. Malapit lang naman." the guy's friend volunteered enthusiastically.
Because they insisted to take me there, then I let them. I thought it would be awkward, but I was wrong. They're fine to be with and they got a lot of friends. Kadalasan sa mga nakasalubong namin ay ngumingiti at kumakaway, minsan may makikipag-high five pa sakanila.
"Mag-ta-transfer ka ba, miss?" tanong ng lalaki
"Yes."
"Ako nga pala si Lyle." pakilala niya "Ito naman si Gasper." he pointed at his friend "Malakas 'to sa chic kaso bading ata." he chuckled "Wala man lang pinormahan sa lahat ng--"
"Pota?" pigil sakaniya no'ng Gasper sabay hampas ng cartolina sa ulo nito.
"Aray ko, gago!"
They are teasing each other until we reached the Dean's office. Ang iingay pa nila kaya marami silang nakukuhang attention. Some of them were girls. They're both good looking and I understand the looks of the girls that they are attracted to them.
"Ano pala pangalan mo?" Gasper asked me
"Atherelle,"
"Your name suits you better." Lyle said this time in a playful tone "Pretty," he added and even winked at me.
"Nakakasuka ka, Lyle, tangina. Banat pa nga." Gasper hissed
Nagpaalam lang ako sakanila na papasok na sa loob. I thanked them for accompanying me before I opened the door of the Dean's office.
"Good morning, ma'am." I greeted the Dean the moment I went inside
She asked me what I'm up to so I told her that I will transfer. Hiningi niya ang mga dokumento ko kaya ibinigay ko ito sakaniya. I just hope she's going to allow me to study here even when my transfer is now too late.
"You got excellent records in La Salle." she commented, looking at the documents I gave "And you're a consistent dean's lister." she then looked at me and fix her glasses "Why do you transfer? Your records got wasted."
"It's, uh, a problem with family, ma'am."
She looked at the documents again before fixing them to sign something in them. She put it back inside the plastic envelope and handed it back to me which I accepted willingly.
"You transferred too late but because you got a very good record, I'll accept you." she said, "Your school uniform will be given next week, I guess." she then pointed at the envelope I was holding "Give that to the Head of the business administration's professor."
I smiled and thanked her. Good thing she didn't ask me a lot of questions about my late transfer. I then went out of the office with a smile plastered on my face. I am still lucky somehow.
