God, I hate Mondays!
Here I am, on my way to our classroom. I'm walking like a zombie. I want everyone to know na napipilitan lang akong pumasok. I sighed.
Pagdating ko sa classroom, nakatingin silang lahat sa akin, making me confused. I roamed my eyes around. And to my surprise, I saw a bouquet of red roses on my desk.
I see. So that is the reason why nakatingin silang lahat sa akin.
Kunot-noong naglakad na ako palapit sa aking pwesto. I stared at the roses, and I noticed that there was a card. Kinuha ko naman iyon kaagad at binasa ang nakasulat. It says:
You are more beautiful than these flowers.
- Caleb
A chill suddenly ran down my spine. Geez. Ang corny. I didn't know that Caleb could be this cheesy.
Anyway, I refuse to believe that these are for me. Sa tingin ko, para talaga ito kay Faith. Nalito lang siya. Akala siguro niya, desk ni Faith ang desk ko. Isa pa, si Faith naman ang leading lady niya, so...
Nagkibit-balikat na lamang ako at inilipat na sa desk ni Faith ang mga bulaklak.
"Hindi ba para sa'yo ang mga 'yon?" tanong ng isa sa mga kaklase ko nang makita niyang inilipat ko ang mga bulaklak sa lamesa ni Faith.
"Nope," payak na tugon ko at umupo na. "Nagkamali lang 'yong nagbigay. Akala niya yata dito ang upuan ni Faith," I added and smiled.
"Oh. I see," she muttered, nodding repeatedly.
Maya-maya pa, dumating na rin si Faith, kaya napatingin kaming lahat sa kaniya. Nagulat naman siya nang makita niya ang mga bulaklak sa kaniyang desk.
"Kanino 'to?" she asked me, pointing at the flowers.
"Yours," I simply replied.
"Kanino galing?"
"Look at the card. You'll see the answer," nakangiting wika ko. Ginawa niya naman ang sinabi ko. She took the card and read what was written on it.
"Galing kay Caleb? Bakit naman niya ako bibigyan ng bulaklak? We don't even talk to each other," I heard her mutter.
"Maybe he secretly admires you," aniko. Tila hindi naman siya kumbinsido.
"I don't think so... but whatever." Mahinang tumawa na lamang siya at ibinaba sa tabi ng upuan niya ang mga bulaklak.
Maya-maya pa, dumating na ang teacher namin for our first period.
"Good morning, class," she greeted us with a smile matapos niyang ibaba ang kaniyang mga gamit sa table niya.
