JUSTIN'S P.O.V

"tara, jah, sabay ka na sa'min mag-lunch." kyla cheerfully said as she tapped my left shoulder.

"ah, kayo nalang. may pupuntahan pa kasi ako e." i politely declined.

"magrereport ka na ba kay sir stell? sama naman akoooo..." she said as she clung her hand on my left arm while shaking it.

oo nga pala, sinabi ko sa kanyang student assistant ako ni sir stell. paano kasi, tanong ng tanong kung bakit daw araw-araw akong pumupunta sa faculty ni sir stell kahit may mga days na wala naman kaming schedule sa kanya. napaka-kulit, fleece lang.

i faced her and asked. "h-huh? hindi ako kay sir stell papunta. at isa pa, bakit naman kita isasama kung pupunta nga ako dun? ano namang gagawin mo sa faculty?" she started twirling her hair with her finger in a flirty manner.

"wala laaanggg, para lang makita ko si sir. hindi nabubuo ang araw ko kapag hindi ko siya nakikita e." she giggled. ugh, nakakairita.

kyla suddenly gasped as she looked at me, as if she thought of a great idea. "diba close naman kayo? single ba si sir? lakad mo naman ako!"

WHAT THE FUCK ?? WHY IN HELL WOULD I DO THAT ??

instead of lashing out on her, i preferred to stay timid instead. "hindi ko alam kung single si sir e, hindi niya naman nababanggit sa'kin." totoo naman. hindi naman talaga ako aware kung may jowa si sir stell o wala. sana wala, though. ems.

"sus, tanungin mo kaya siya! hindi ka ba nacucurious?"

i raised my eyebrow at her. "bakit naman ako macucurious kung single siya o hindi?" joke lang. syempre curious ako, kunwari lang hindi para tumigil na 'to. T___T

kyla pouted and shrugged. "hmm... sige na nga, ako nalang magtatanong kapag nakita ko siya. una na 'ko! bye, jah!" she waved cheerfully and started to walk away.

oh, shit. what the fuck am i thinking? don't say it, jah. it's stupid. what the fuck.

whatever.

"he's not single." i said which made kyla stop in her tracks. she looked at me, surprise evident on her face.

"omg, for real??" tangina, ano nanaman 'tong ginawa ko? T___T

"y-yes. yes, nabanggit niya pala before. h-hindi na daw siya single."

kyla immediately walked towards me and clung her hand on my arm again. "talaga? kilala mo ba kung sino? sabihin mo naman sa'kin please please, jah, pleeeaassee." she pleaded while shaking my arm. god, anong sasabihin ko ngayon?

"uhm.. si-"

"justin."

a booming voice suddenly filled the room. since kyla and i were the only ones left inside, it was quiet and any sound can be easily heard. we both looked towards the direction where the voice came from─by the door.

... and then there he stood, in all his glory; the bright light from outside the room shines upon him, making him appear in only like a silhouette. but goddamn, i know that figure. that's sir stell.

seems like kyla suddenly felt intimidated by our professor's presence that she immediately let go of my arm and stood a meter away from me. sir stell entered the room and stopped at a breathable distance infront of me and my blockmate.
