Hindi niya na ako pinansin kahit nung pumasok kami sa classroom. Busangot ang mukha niya at nakakuyom ang mga kamao.

Ugh. What's his problem?

Diretso lang siyang pumasok sa classroom habang ako naman napagsermunan, which I didn't even bother to listen to. I don't really care much about sermons now. I was more concerned why the President wasn't even talking to me.

Hindi ko nga alam bakit parang may pakialam na ako sa kung ano ang nararamdaman ni President. I don't know why I want to say sorry to him.

Nang makaupo ako ay sinulyapan ko siya sa tabi. Pinalipat kasi siya kasi yun ang request niya. Wala siyang kibo at diretso lang ang tingin niya sa sinusulat ni Miss sa whiteboard.

Hindi ko na lang pinansin si President at tumingin na rin sa harap. Nakita ko naman si Maddie na nagngising-aso bago bumaling ulit sa harap. What's wrong with the two? Yung isa parang sira ang mood tapos ang isa sobrang ganda naman ng araw.

The great President hasn't talked to me the whole day. Hindi naman sa gusto kong pansinin niya ako. It's just that I can't execute my plan perfectly.

Yes. That's the only reason. Wala nang iba.

Well, whatever.

If I can't get his attention while I'm being nice, I'll get his attention the way I would.

Pumasok na ako sa cafeteria pagkatapos at nag-order. Unlike the first cashier, I like this one. She doesn't delay any orders. She even has a smile plastered in her face, which was nice.

When she gave me my order, I went to my table and ate. Wala ni isa ang tumabi sa akin hanggang sa matapos ako. That's what I like.

I tried to ignore the rumors going on around involving me, President and Maddie. They all think I am this desperate to get their attention and replace someone called Sweet. When in fact, I am doing this to get even with President.

Pumasok ako sa main building papunta sa library. Manghihiram lang ako ng libro tungkol sa history ng Reinhart. So you know... I can impress President.

The library is huge. Bookworms and bibliophiles will probably visit here everytime. Hinanap ko agad ang libro tungkol sa Reinhart. It was written by Margaret Harrison.

Lumapit ako sa librarian na nakasalamin. Isinulat ko muna ang pangalan ko sa borrow slip at binigay na sa librarian and libro. She scanned me from head-to-shoes before stamping on the book. She stared at me and gave me what I borrowed.

Nahagip ng mga mata ko ang trash bin sa gilid kaya agad akong nakaisip ng ideya.

It wouldn't be hurt to have a little prank, would it?

Umatras ako para lumabas pero may nabangga akong isang matigas na bagay sa likod. Hinarap ko ang bagay na yun, only to see he was not a thing.

I didn't smell his usual expensive perfume. Instead, he smelled like mint. Kaya siguro hindi ko napansin ang presensya niya.

Nakatingin siya sa akin. His hands are in his pockets. His hair slightly messy, unlike his everyday getup, that made him even more handsome. His lean muscles made even more defined because of his white sleeveless shirt.

Napatingin ako sa leeg niya. Ngayon ko lang din napansin ang kwintas niya. It looked so familiar. Mahaba ang silver chains na umabot sa gitna ng dibdib niya. The pendant was a silver cross with horned skull with rubies as its eyes in the middle of the cross.

Saan ko yan nakita?

He moved a little. "I'm sorry." Iyon ang unang lumabas sa bibig niya matapos niya akong hindi pansinin sa buong araw.
