In a Secret Relationship With My Professor (Series 1)

CHAPTER 33

"Good morning," a baritone voice filled the room.

Umayos ako ng upo at nagising ang aking diwa. Inaantok pa kasi ako, maaga naman akong natulog kagabi.

Nakita ko naman ang mga classmate ko na nagsibalikan sa kanilang upuan.

"Good morning, Mr. Salvero!" We greeted him energetically.

He nodded. He went in front of his table and cross his arm over his chest.

"I will give you now your requirements because next month will be your graduation," he said in a stern voice.

My classmate nodded to him as they listen to him carefully. He wandered his gazed to me and I saw how his eyes glisten when our eyes met.

I bit the inside of my cheeks, medyo kinilig ako. Hindi naman siguro nakita kung paano ako tignan ni Mr. Knox Aiden Salvero nuh?

Mr. Salvero keeps on discussing but I didn't listen to him at all. I am present but mentally absent.

I put my both hands and covered my mouth when I stifled a yawned. I'm sleepy! Hindi naman ako ganito kapag may nagtuturo sa amin. And I noticed lately that I am eating a lot of food. I feel sleepy even though I had enough sleep at night.

"Hoy!" I heard a whispered behind my back.

"Samantha..." Then, I felt a hand tapped my cheeks lightly.

Unti-unti kong binuksan ang aking mata. I brushed the back of my hands against my eyes. Nakaidlip pala ako, buti di ako sinita ni Sir.

"Natutulog ka na naman," I heard Vince's mumbled at my back.

"What's that noise?" Sir seriously asked. Ang mga iba kong classmate ay napapatingin sa bandang likuran, which is sa amin. I shifted my gazed and took a glance to Vince.

"Mr. Lenfer, do you have a question?"

"Nothing, Sir." Napakamot si Vince sa kanyang ulo at nag-iwas siya ng tingin. Siya kasi ang maingay, kita mo nga naman, bumubulong na nga siya rinig na rinig pa rin.

"Start doing your requirements to my subject now, your requirements is easy as 1, 2, 3. Pass it on my Monday, next week," he said firmly.

My jaw dropped to what he said. Wow, easy as 1, 2, 3 daw 'yung requirements na binigay niya. Magic! Hindi naman easy eh! Business Plan, dapat magplano ng mabuti tungkol sa location, name of business, amount of total expenses, etc. Sabi pa niya gumawa daw kami ng financial report for one year ng business plan na ginawa namin. Seriously?!

Most of my classmate reaction was mouth agape and eyes widened, couldn't believed of what Mr. Salvero said.

"Good bye, class..." he bid his good bye and stormed out of the room.

"Hay buhay!" I heard Vince grunted.

"Samantha..." Shainah called my name. I took a glance at her. I saw her pleading eyes on me.

"Ops?"

"Hell week na naman," bulong ni Sofia.

"Kausapin mo nga 'yung boyfriend mo na huwag niya tayong pahirapan," nakangusong sabi niya.

I pouted my lips and nodded.

Hindi ko alam kung mapapayag ko siya pagdating sa mga ganyan. He knows how to set aside school works and relationship. Wala rin akong magawa dahil alam kong ginagawa niya ang kanyang trabaho bilang Professor.

My friends and I are walking towards the canteen, but I parted ways to them because I will go to Knox's office.

"Kausapin ko lang si Knox," paalam ko sa kanila.
