Save Me, Miss Tala (ViPe Series #1)

Chapter Twenty

Tala Liandro

Hearing some war inside this cafeteria. Almost want to cover my ears and fire a gun to shut them down— but I can't.

This is a University but I'm allowed to have a gun.

I am with Galaxy and her friends again, I don't even know why are they here as always. It happens when the Sports Day started. They don't have agenda but to tease me. Hindi naman sila nanonood sa mga sports, they just here para tumambay.

And the Sports Day are now done but they are still here, para kumain sa cafeteria.

We are at the cafeteria, enjoying our lunch. Sila lang.

They are so noisy na dumagdag pa sa noise pollution.

"Kanina ko pa hindi nakikita si Alex a." Sherez curiously look around. As always, there are a lot of students inside the cafeteria which I hate the most. Ayoko lang pansinin. "Hindi ko na naman mahagilap ang babaeng 'yon."

"Wala rin siya sa office nila e." That's Galaxy, who always had a reason to make me pissed off. She's using Lotus.

"Ay wait!" Sherez beamed. We saw Lotus friends and waited before she called one of them. "Chabe!"

I rolled my eyes when I heard Sherez shout so loudly at one of Gabriel's friends. Speaking of that Lotus Alexandria, did not attend her class, in my class a while ago.

Maybe she's busy because she's the SSC President? But she is not an excuse in my class a while ago.

I snickered and rolled my eyes, mentally.

Until now, hindi pa rin kami nakakapag usap ng maayos. Because seriously, I didn't expect her to have feelings for me. I didn't expect that she'll gonna like me and confessed inside that Clinic.

I am not sure if she's playing around or not because I am her professor.

But I cannot help not think about her. The distance paces between her actions, and her eyes. Between her smile and lies behind her eyes.

I want her to disregard her feelings for me, but knowing that I'm fucking confused right now— hindi ko ata kaya.

The time she avoids me, I can't take it. I hate it when she's avoiding me. Ang lakas ng loob ko na umiwas pero no'ng siya na ang gumawa— I almost punch her in irritation.

All of her actions play in my mind. I am straight, Galaxy knows that. But now— I don't know.

I secretly sighed as I saw Alex's friend come to our table.

"Hello, Ate Sherez! Nandito po pala kayo ulit. Kasama niyo po si Alex?" She asked, we all looked at her with curiosity, even I. Sherez should be the one na magtatanong sa kaniya but she did ask.

So that means we all don't have any idea where the girl is.

Sometimes, Lotus is missing in action and acts like a mushroom.

"Ha? 'Di ba dapat kasama niyo siya? Itatanong ko pa lang sana e. Baka naman kasama niya ngayon sila Alicia." I raised one of my eyebrows when I heard another name. What's with Alex having many girls?

Why does that girl have so many girls in her life?

Gosh, Lotus.

"Po? A-Ah e kasi ate hindi siya pumasok sa unang klase namin kay Miss Liandro, akala namin late siya e." I saw doubt in her eyes. "At bakit niya naman kasama sila Alicia—"

She is interrupted when another group of women comes to our table.

My eyes can't stop observing them when my eyes come to look at them. Interesting.
