Tapos na ang paghihirap sa pag-aaral ng shutek na Pre-Calculus and especially General Mathematics!

"Francine" bumaling ako sa pagtawag sa aking pangalan and it was Niña.

"Can we talk?" Luminga siya sa paligid.

Narito kase kami sa classroom. Walang ma'am or sir ang pumasok sa session na ito. Kaya yung mga classmates namin ay busy sa pag aatupag sa mga interest nila.

" Just the two of us sana, you know na kahit e whisper natin to ng tudo-tudo hindi pa rin maiiwasan na may mga malalaking tainga yung iba." She carefully choose the words thats suitable to what she wants to express. " FYI I'm not hitting someone through this words. Pwede ba sa garden tayo mag-usap?"

I nod as a response "Sige wait lang pupunta pa ako sa toilet, wee wee lang oks." Sabi ko sa kanya.

"Sige mag hihintay ako sa assigned garden area natin."

Papunta na ako sa ladies room hindi kasi connect iyon sa classroom namin, kailangan pang lumabas at tumakbo patungo roon.

Sa kalagitnaan ng aking pagtakbo na aninag ko ang isang dambuhalang bear-

"Francine!" Ang boses na iyon ay pagmamay-ari ni Trent.

Kami lang dalawa ang nasa pathway na ito. Although kami lang dalawa malaki pa rin ang distansya ng lugar kung saan kami naroroon.

A strange light shone in his eyes as he smiled at me. And would you look at that: Trent Langley had dimples.

My heart is dancing passionately begging for attention or rather an affection.

"O-Oh ikaw pala Trent?" Shutek, why did I suddenly start stuttering?

"Saan ka papunta?"

"Sa ladies room lang mag weewee. Sige bye" wala sa sarili akong rumangkada paalis na hindi siya tinitignan. Anong nangyayari sa akin?

I know, I admire his looks but I didn't expect that it's more than looks na pala. Shutek.

This feeling is troublesome.

Sa mga nakalipas na panahon parati kaming magkasama, napalapit rin ako sa kanya dahil he needs me but for some reason he is so comfortable to be around and I am drown to him even though I don't know why.

"Are you going out with Trent, Francine?" I snapped out of thinking deeply hindi ko namalayan nandito na pala ako sa garden kasama si Niña.

Sometimes I find it amazing how some people have no hesitation in asking questions or addressing something directly.

"Kaibigan lang kami ni Trent." I answered having my heart pounding so loud.

"Friends pero bakit ang nakikita namin ay pang relationship ang treatment niyo sa isa't isa." Paglilinaw niya.

Tumikhim ako, Is she trying to corner me?

"Totoo yung sagot ko Niña. If you're not satisfied with my answer then create the answer you want to hear. Chill lang tayo bebs, magkaibigan lang... k-kami ni Trent period walang erasure!" Tumikhim ulit ako at luminga linga sa mga halaman.

She gives me a suspicious look yet gives up.
"I'm sorry if I made you uncomfortable. To tell you some information I'm a representative, for now, of this group called Trentaholic Us pwede rin Trentaholic 'Ass' as in Butt. Bungga yung group name noh?" Humagikhik si Niña dahilan ng pagkalma sa aking self.After she outburst a slight giggle she then cleared her throat and made a 'serious face' look.
