'Unattentive'
***
"I am fully aware that you're college students na, 4th years to be exact but I still want you to introduce yourselves" Seryoso nitong sabi.
I was massaging my hands at kanina pa tumitingin kay Lily pero hindi man lang siya lumingon sakin ayoko namang kalabitin.
Napakagat ko sa labi ko sa kaba hindi dahil sa introduce yourself na yan kundi dahil kay sir.
"I know most of you already know me but for those who don't I am Mr. Eric Nathan Amare your advanced biology professor"
Waaah, please say this is just a dream!
What the f! Gusto ko sabihin kina Lily. What will I tell them??
Guys I kissed our professor
or I will switch classes with Paula and what? I think same professor kami yung schedule lang naiba.
"Huy Zea. Zeaaa" - Lily habang sinisiko ako. Napatingin naman ako sa kanya then she made a head gesture to look in front then there I saw my professor with his serious face.
"You want to introduce yourself miss or not?" Masungit nitong sabi.
Shit am I preoccupied?
I immediately stood up.
"I... I, u-uh am Zariah Llaon from Nari village" Then there I sat down agad.
Sinilip ko ang expression niya nang makaupo nako and his expression was the same.
Parang hindi ata siya nagulat na student niya ako! Ganon ganon nalang?
Duh girl what do you expect bakla yan baka sinusumpa ka na!
After the introduction he started the orientation of the subject.
I can't even make an eye contact with him.
Wait am I expecting? My gosh I am so weird.
Tumagal pa ng discussion nagdecide nalang ako makinig pero paminsan minsan nadidistract ako.
When his discussion ended he dismissed the class.
"Hindi ka pa mag-aayos?" -Singit ni Lily.
I shooked my head and stood up tsaka nagmadaling ayusin ang gamit.
"Starstrucked ka rin ba kay sir? Wag ka mag-alala di ka nag-iisa though that was a long time ago. Wag ka papalinlang he's not nice."
I looked at her and shooked my head.
"I-I'm not Starstrucked, I, he's uh..."
Sasabihin ko ba?
"He's what?" taas kilay ni Lily.
"Ms. Llaon?"
I froze at dahan dahang tumingin sa harap.
"S-sir?"
"Meet me at my office" Seryoso nitong sabi then dumiretso na palabas.
"Geez mamsh patay ka"
"H-ha??"
"He hated students that weren't attentive"
"S-seryoso ka ba?" mas lalo nadagdagan yung kaba ko!!
While I was on my way to his office na itinuro naman sakin ni Lily, hindi ko mapigilang kabahan nanlalamig ako na namamawis.
Diko alam kung saan ako kakabahan, kung sa di ko pagiging attentive o dun sa nangyari.
Nang nasa tapat na ako ng office niya inipon ko pa ang lakas ko ng loob bago ako kumatok.
