[Chapter 3] My New Classmate's A Flirt

The next morning was the same. Same rituals. Same scenarios. Same classmates you will see. Same friends you'll be with for the whole day.

It all changed when someone knocked the door of our classroom while Mr. Domingo was teaching Music.

We all turned to gape at Mrs. Garcia, our principal who was with a boy in a uniform.

We all stood and welcomed her as always. Mr. Domingo smiled at her.

"Class, may bago kayong classmate." Mrs. Garcia announced.

Nag bulong bulungan kaming lahat since kakaiba kasing tumanggap ng bagong students ang school namin. It's just so odd especially when it's in the 2nd semester of the school year. The student must be very special.

I saw Liesl looking at me.

"I heard he was a childhood friend of Clay," she whispered in my ears. Nakaupo kasi siya sa bandang likuran ko.

"Huh?"

How can it be? Kung childhood friend siya ni Clay, then I must know him. Magkaibigan kasi ang mga families namin. Ang mga Martinez at Pascua.

Then he entered and I immediately recognized him. My jaw dropped in horror. I heard Liesl gasped from my behind.

"Oh. Nightmare entered reality." she said. I know that she's talking about me. I turned and I saw Will looking at me. They recognized them as well.

I cursed deep inside.

Bakit kailangang maglaro ang tadhana? Bakit kailangang sa lahat pa ng mapagtripan nito, ako pa? Wala naman akong inagrabyado ah? Malinis ang konsensya ko.

Mrs. Garcia patted his shoulder as he enter the room. Mr. Domingo ushered him in the front, smiling at him intently.

"Mr. Flores, please introduce yourself to the whole class."

From afar, I saw his Adam apple moved up and down. Mukhang takot sa mga tao ang loko.

His last name sounds so familiar. But I can't really bring myself to remember who he really is. All I know is that siya yung lalaking nambwisit sa'kin sa coffee shop.

"Hi. I'm Wren Andrei Flores," he says. "Nice to meet you."

I rolled my eyes in irritation as I heard Liesl chuckle from my behind. Seriously? Kaibigan ko ba itong mga 'to? Mukhang pinagkakatuwaan pa ako.

Will cannot stop looking at him. Mukhang kahit siya hindi makapaniwala na kaklase namin yung bwisit na yan.

"Welcome to Class 3-A, Mr. Flores," Mr. Domingo said. "I hope you can build quite a friendship with your classmates."

Huh?! In your face, you jerk!

Wren smiled and I heard the giggles that came from my classmates, particularly girls. Anong meron ba sa smile niya? He's gorgeous. Pero makikita niyo rin ang sungay ng lokong yan!

"You may take your seat beside Mr. Cruz."

I gaped at Will and he smiled at me. Wren seated next to Will. And I saw him even shook hands with Will.

Ugh. Mukhang balak ding agawin ang mga kaibigan ko. Well, you will never succeed.

"Ms. Pascua," Mr. Domingo called. Then I realized na kanina pa niya ako tinatawag. "Ms. Pascua, mukhang nageenjoy kang tignan si Mr. Flores, ah?"

My classmates laughed. My cheeks reddens from embarrassment. Nakakahiya kaya.

I turned to look at Wren. He grinned and winked at me.
