How To Have You (Professors Series #1.)

Chapter 21

"'Huy, kanina ka pa tulala diyan!"

My mind was occupied with thoughts pero nawala 'yon ng marinig ko ang maingay na boses ni Sefanie, she was also tapping the table infront of me. As an answer, inirapan ko lang siya at tsaka ako uminom sa smoothie ko. Maarte niya 'rin naman akong ginaya na nagpatawa naman sa kasama namin ngayon, we were at the cafeteria again.

"Ano ngang pinagusapan niyo ni Savannah kahapon? Mukhang seryoso 'yon kaya natutulala ka diyan." She spoke, making me roll my eyes when I remembered it.

"Just something, may tinanong lang siya sa'kin." I lied tsaka ako umiwas ng tingin sakanila.

Of course I wouldn't tell them na ganon ang napagusapan namin kahapon, hindi naman ako namamahiya ng tao, she should be thankful for that.

"Ano nga?! Tungkol ba kay Amara?" Pangungulit pa'rin ni Sefanie, hinihila niya rin ang braso ko para sabihin ko.

"What does your cousin have to do with this?" I acted as if I wasn't affected, kahit kailan talaga malakas ang kutob niya.

"Syempre! Ano pa bang paguusapan niyo?" Tumingin naman siya sa'kin na parang obvious na 'yun na nga 'yon. "Hindi naman kayo close kaya 'yan lang ang pwede niyong pagusapan ni Sav."

"Yeah, I agree." Loriel answered too.

"We even made a bet." It was Sefanie again.

Tumaas ang kilay ko sa narinig ko. "What bet?"

"That the two of you fought because of Amara, or sadyang nagusap lang talaga kayo." Sumingit naman si Celestine samin matapos nguyain ang pagkain niya sa bibig.

"Kaya sabihin mo na 'kung anong nangyari kahapon! One thousand ang pustahan namin, sayang naman."

"All of you are into this?" I sighed deeply nang makita kong tumango silang lahat. "Even you, Bea?"

I know that Beatriz isn't the type of someone na makikisali sa katarantaduhan ng ibang friends namin, that's why I'm surprised ng makita ko din ang pagtango niya kanina.

"Unfortunately yes. Curious rin ako." Aniya.

I shook my head in disbelief. "It's just a plain conversation about something else, hindi tungkol kay Cortez kaya pwede niyo ng tigilan 'yang bet niyo."

"So what did really happend? Magkwento ka na kasi samin! Why won't you tell us?" Naka-pout nang humarap sa'kin si Sefanie, pleading me.

"It's not important, Sef." Umiling ulit ako. "Tsaka bakit ba ako ang topic niyo? Why don't we talk about your student, that one named... Riley?"

I instantly smirked nang mabulunan siya sa pangalang binanggit ko, mukhang nataranta pa ang mukha niyang nakatingin samin.

"She's just my student."

Napangiti ako ng bahagya, I know she's lying. That smile and acts of hers is something. Alam kong mayroon silang kung ano sa Riley na 'yon.

Nagpalipas pa kami ng oras bago ko nakita ang dalawang pamilyar na mukha ng babae, I saw Miss Addison and Claine walking towards us.

"Hi, Profs!" Masiglang bati ni Miss Addison.

Nagtama ang tingin namin ni Claine at ngumiti naman siya sa'kin as she raised her eyebrows, I'm getting used to her smiling at me dahil ganon palagi ang ginagawa niya, she's always staring and smiling at me during our classes.
