Glimpse Of Us

CHAPTER 4

Rylie's POV

"No! That's wrong, Mr. Reyes. Tsk! Go back to your seat!" Sigaw na naman nya. Clyde has no other choice but to silently walk back to his seat.

"Can anyone of you get the correct answer for this number?" She ask frustratedly. Wala naman ni isa samin ang sumagot. "Ghad! This is the kind of problem you already encounter during your first year in college. That's it, get one piece and pass. We'll have a short quiz today."

Our shoulders automatically slump down due to disappointment because of her announcement. Tangina! Wala na nga saming nakasagot, magpapaquiz pa.

I take a glance on my binder. I actually balanced it. I'm just afraid that my answer's also wrong. Sino ba naman kasi ang maglalakas ng loob pang sumagot, knowing that if we got it wrong again, our dear professor will scold us immediately.

"Fuck! Ang layo ko kay Rylie my loves!"

"Ang swerte ng gagong si Mason. Bukod sa matalino na ang katabi, chix pa!"

Assholes! The way they flirt, you might think that we don't have a teacher in front. Terror professor pa, to be exact.

Natigil naman agad sila when Professor Carlton clear her throat. "Quiet everyone." She ordered full of authority in her voice that made them shut their mouths. Buti nga sa inyo!

"Rylie babes, pagaya ko." I look at Mason beside me who's now pouting and showing me his puppy eyes.

I smiled at him then nod my head. Agad din naman syang napangiti and kiss the back of my hand. Hinayaan ko na lang, tutal lagi naman syang ganyan.

He's been my block mate since second year college. At trip nya talaga kong landiin. I don't even understand this guy. The truth is he likes Avery, pero natotorpe pagkaharap na. He doesn't even talk to her, not unless it's about the lessons we discuss or whenever we have a group project. At hanggang dun na lang yun.

"Ang landi mo, Mason. Feeling mo naman papatulan ka ni Rylie my loves."

"Rylie wag mo naman akong ipagpalit sa gunggong na yan."

"Rylie, tayo na lang."

I glare at the guys at the back when I heard their whispers. Pero imbes na tumigil, the bastards even wink at me. The fuck?

"Flirting is not allowed in my class, Miss Monteverde. So if you ever want to continue your dally with Mr. Lee, might as well leave this classroom right now. We don't want any interruptions as soon as I start the quiz." I immediately face in front and fix my posture when I heard her cold voice again. Nasalubong ko agad ang seryoso at masama nyang tingin. I even gulp because of it.

"S-Sorry po, Ma'am." I said apologetically. She didn't say anything in return and just started with the quiz.

So far, madali naman sya. Unlike the problem she gave us before. Mabilis din naman yun natapos dahil 10 items lang naman.

I glance at Avery's direction which is on the other row. Pinaghiwalay kasi kami ni Ma'am because she noticed us last time having a chitchat while she's talking in front. Halos matawa ko dahil nahuli ko syang nakatingin din pala sakin. She's looking at me like a helpless girl. Even though I want to help her, hindi ko yun magagawa. Ayokong mapagalitan na naman ni Prof. Carlton. Besides, I'm not even sure if my answers are also correct. Though, nadalian naman ako sa mga tanong, I don't want to be overly confident.

Ilang minuto lang ay nagsalita na ulit sya. "Pass your papers in front." After I let Mason copy my answers, agad ko yung pinasa kay April na nasa unahan ko.

"Thanks, babes. Don't worry babawi ako sayo." Mason whisper again.

I look at him and smirk playfully. "Talaga? Sige, will you do me a favor and return this to Avery?" I ask referring to her G-tech ballpoint.
