Napost na pala yung school ng announcement sa pagkapanalo sa food stall. We immediately posted our pictures on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook. The people congratulated us more than what we expected. We even trended in our school forum.
Kaya ngayong pauwi kami marami ng nakangiti samin. You can even hear shrieks from the girls while walking in the hallway.
I relaxed my exhausted body in my favorite place, my bed. I lazily rolled and picked up my phone to check my Instagram. While scrolling, my phone vibrated and I saw that Keith sent me a message.
KEITH: I think we should tell them that they need to tell us about their family's company.
ME: Yah, so we can stay updated on each other's company.
KEITH: Yeah. You should update me every now and then.
Ang tagal kong tinitigan ang huling message niya at nag isip pa kung anong irereply ko don.
Update? Him? I suck the inside of my left cheek to stop my lips from smiling. Or maybe it's update them? Typo lang siguro siya. I clicked the heart button kasi hindi ko alam ang sasabihin.
KEITH: I just told you to update me. Why didn't you tell me that I made your heart flutter?
And that's it. I released the smile I've been holding.
ME: Because you did not.
KEITH: Ohh okay.
ME: Okay what?
KEITH: Okay I should work harder to make your heart flutter.
I clicked the laugh emoji at pinatay na ang phone ko. Nakaramdam na ko ng antok kaya hindi ko na nilabanan ito.

I'm walking in the hallway at napagisipan na kailangan kong kausapin si Miss Corpuz sa mga teachers. Pwede ko namang tanongin si Brice for other lessons pero ayoko maging sagabal sa pag aaral ni Brice.
Bumalik ako sa hallway at dumiretso sa office ni Miss Corpuz. I knocked twice to see if she's inside. I heard her voice and opened the door.
"Good morning Miss Corpuz." She showed me her beaming smile and gestured me to sit down in front of her.
"Let me guess. Gusto mo kong kausapin about teachers right?" She asked right away and I nodded.
"I'll talk to them today. Kapag umayaw sila, I'll find available teachers who can teach you."
"What if they refuse?" I asked her.
"Then I'll teach you." She smiled, assuring me that it will be okay.
Teach us? All of our subjects? Special class?
Confusion and shock sparked inside my head. Really? She can teach all subjects?
"Now go, baka hanapin ka na nila." Sinenyasan niya na ko na tumayo. I bowed my head to thank her and went out.
Ngayong nasa tapat na ko ng classroom at napa buntong hininga na lang ako nang marinig na nagsisigawan sila. Jusko naman hindi ba maitikum mga bibig niyan.
Binuksan ko ang pinto at agad agad silang napalingon sakin. Tumumbad saking ang mga bati nila habang naglalakad ako papasok. Tumango lang ako sa kanila at tinignan ko si Brice na nakatingin na naman sa lahat.
Lumapit ako sa upuan ko. "I'm here." Bulong ko sapat lang para marinig ni Keith. Update ko daw siya eh. Umupo na ko at inayos ang gamit ko.
"Asra diba galing Sweden ka? Bakit mas magaling ka pa mag Filipino?" Tanong ni Claud sa kanya. Lahat sila ay napatingin ngayon kay Asra.
