"Good morning class I'm you're new teacher and adviser my name is Mrs. Nancy Morgan," the middle aged professor said. Everyone in the whole class stood up to greet her back.
"Good morning Mrs. Morgan," Irish non energetically whispered together with her new classmates. She's in her last year of senior highschool, transferred to a new city, new environment, but her first day, instant regret punched her in the face.
Hindi niya parin makalimutan ang gulo na nangyari sa kanya sa labas kaninang umaga pag pasok niya.
"By the way class let's start," the Professor said while clapping her hands. "Please introduce your self, sunod-sunod ha?"
One girl stood up to start her introduction, but instead of saying her infermation, she covered her mouth and pointed at the opened door. Her reaction was followed by a bunch of crazed girls who began to scream as well.
"Oh my geeeee! The young masters!"
"Dito nila napili!"
"Gagi, I'm here kasi!"
Irish looked at the door only to be greeted by the grin of the man who caused all her troubles this morning.
Naiirita siyang yumuko para maiwasan na makita ng lalaki na kinaiinisan niya.
Sa sobrang paghanga ng mga babae sa mga lalaki, parang artista talaga ang tingin nila sa mga ito.
Nakahinga nang maluwag si Irish nang mapagtanto niya na nasa likuran nakaupo. Sa tingin niya ay hindi siya mapapansin ng lalaki at laking pasasalamat niya na hindi tumitili itong nasa harapan niyang barako kung umasta.
"Hindi talaga ako makakatakas sa kaniya," she whispered before lowering her head to rest it on the arm chair.
Huli na nang maalala ni Irish na pinili niyang umupo sa likuran dahil walang ibang nakupo dito. Naramdaman nalang niya ang mga yabag na papalapit sa kanya, ang paggalaw ng mga upuan, at ang pamilyar na malalim na boses ng isang lalaki.
"Hi seatmate," he said.
Hindi na nakaalma si Irish dahil sa nakita niyang nakapalibot sa kanya ang apat. Gusto niyang iuntog ang sarili niyang ulo sa upuan, bakit ba kasi niya pinili ang gitnang upuan sa likod?
She raised her head with visible dismay on her face. Her eyes landed on the guy on her left and he smiled at her, "mukhang makulit," she thought to herself. Pinigilan niya ang sarili sa paglingon sa kabilang banda dahil alam na niya kung sino ang nandoon.
But a huge hand landed on her head and slowly turned her head to make her look at him. His light brown eyes, pointed nose and a gorgeous lips are what she saw, close to her. Super close. In a way that she could already smell the sweet scent of the candy he's eating.
Sinubukan niyang lumingon pero isang kilos palang niya ay inilipat ni Ice ang pagkakahawag nito sa kan'yang ulo, pababa sa kan'yang baba.
"Hi, seatmate," he repeated while flashing his most adorable smile. Napahinto si Irish dahil sa ginawa nito. Nakahinga nalang niya nang maluwang n'ong nagsalita muli ang guro.
"Oh last row na,"sabi nito. Pinanood niya ang pagtayo ng lalaki sa dulo.
"I'm Aljur Sei," said the guy without any expression.
