“HAHAHAHA! Oo nga ang epic non tapos...”

“Agree agree, At saka alam mo ba nakakahiya yung part na nahulog yung pantalon ni Kurt sa tapat ng stage.”

“BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!”

Napapikit ako sa inis at napahigpit ang hawak ko sa ballpen na halos mahati na ito sa dalawa dahil sa ingay nila. They’ve been like that ever since I entered this room. I never get study at peace because of that guy who only got transferred today.

How can He manage to feel comfortable and get a lot of friends at his first day here?

We don’t have teacher today because they have an urgent meeting. But they left an activity to do and even informed us that we will be having a quiz tomorrow.

I let out a sigh and turned at my back to face them who’s having a good time.

“Boys at the back, can you please lower your voice? Nakakaistorbo kayo sa mga nagaaral, hindi lang kayo ang nasa loob ng classroom.” I calmly said.

Tumigil naman sila at nagtinginan bago nagsihagikhik muli ng tawa. I looked at them... at disbelief. Are they crazy? They shouldn’t be here, they should be at the mental hospital. I didn’t say any funny yet they laughed as if I did.

“Miss, kung titignan mo ikaw lang ang nagaaral dito, lahat ay nagkukwetuhan. Ano ka VIP? Kami pa magaadjust? Lumabas ka na lang at sa CR magaral.” The transferee guy answered, he even emphasized the word VIP.

Napasinghap naman ako sa sinabi niya. What?

“Ooohhhh!” everyone shouted as if we’re in a fighting debate.

And now, we caught all people’s attention.

I raised one of my eyebrow at him, “Do you even know the word respect? We’re in a school and we’re supposed to study and not just laugh at the back as if you’re the only person here and that doesn’t disturb the only one student here who only cares about her grades.”

“OoOoHhHh! Taylor payag ka non?!” sigaw muli ng mga kaklase namin. So this annoying guy is Taylor huh.

Napangisi siya sa sinabi ko, “Alam ko ang salitang respeto miss. Pero you see, it’s vacant time, and we have a permission to do whatever we want. And for your information, we already finished the activity and already reviewed the lesson, Ms. Lonely Girl.”

Ms. Lonely Girl?! 

They all laughed as if I lose this sh*tty fight. It seems that all of my classmates are in his side, and I’m the only one who’s fighting the justice of peace. Okay, fine, they won. I just rolled my eyes at him before i get my things and just decided to go to the library.

I still can hear their laughs and saying that they will now call me a Lonely Girl in this school and such. I don’t care, ‘go on and waste your time saying those things to me that won’t even affect my life.’

The next day is a hassle day for me. So many projects, reports and so on. And it even got more hassle when the scenario yesterday happened again. It’s a vacant time again, I don’t know where those teachers are going why they don’t attend our classes.

I finally felt relieved when I already finished my project and was about to get it when somebody suddenly snatch my USB where my project is so I can print it immediately.

“Woah! Eto ba yung PT natin sa Science? Tapos ka na dito? Patulong naman, Ms. Lonely Girl.” Ani ng lalaking nakasagutan ko kahapon na nagngangalang Taylor.
