Margaux
Pagmulat ko ng mata ko, I saw a white ceiling which makes me confused kasi wala ako maalala. Umupo ako and noticed that I'm at the school's infirmary.
"Oh my, you're awake!" dali-dali lumapit agad si Ari sa akin na kakapasok lang ng pintuan
"Anyare sa akin?" I asked her while wandering around the room
"Well, you were in the library, right? With Minro?" she said hesitantly
"Ay oo nga pala, nagaagawan kami ni Minro sa Geometry book" sabi ko habang inaalala ang mga pangyayari
"Yeah then the students who were arranging the books from the upper shelves accidentally lost balance and knocked off some hard bound books and natamaan ka nung isang libro sa ulo" Ari explained
Hinawakan ko naman ang ulo ko at oo, masakit nga
"But the nurse said that It was a good thing na bukol lang inabot mo because kung nahulog sa'yo lahat ng books, you could have been hospitalised, kaya sobrang galit na galit and worried at the same time si Night" kwento ni Ari habang inaayos gamit ko sa bag
"Wait, bakit hindi nga sa akin nahulog yung mga libro? I was standing there." Pagtataka kong tanong
"Well... Minro covered you when you lost consciousness and he took all the fallen books" Ari said worriedly
Gulat na gulat ako, parang wala ako maisip na sabihin dahil hindi pa rin nagsisink in sa akin yung sinabi ni Ari.
"Where is Minro?" Ayon na lang ang lumabas sa bibig ko. No matter how much I hate his boastful voice and tone, I need to give gratitude.
"He's in the class right now. Don't worry, he didn't have any injuries. Minro's body is really broad and hard, so no worries."
I feel a little relief. "Asan si Night?"
"He's just outside, waiting one of your brothers. He contacted him kasi need ng guardian for you to go home, ayaw pumayag ng nurse na si Night lang ang sasama sa'yo pauwi." Ari putting down my bag
"Ah. Ay thank you for fetching my th-", before I could say thank you to Ari dahil kinuha at inayos niya ang bag ko, biglang bumukas ng malakas ang pintuan, napatingin kami ni Ari
"Where's my baby sister?!" sigaw at panickly sabi ni kuya Madd and Night follows him trying to calm him down. He settled a bit nung nakita niya ko
"Margs! Ano ba ginagawa mo?" He calmly walk towards me
"Wala, little accident" I assured him
"Anong little? If "HE" is not there, you must be in real danger. Kinausap ko naman na yung mga students and also the librarian, they will have their punishment" saad ni Night
"Whatever. I wanna go home" sabi ko dahil sumasakit nanaman yung bukol ko.
They all assist me walking to our car and Ari and Night waves their good bye to me.
"Kuya Alous is busy with his work and the 3 kumags are all in school. They actually want to come pero sabi ko ako na lang dahil maaga ang dismissal namin. How's your head?" sabi ni kuya Madd while checking my head
"Okay naman, kinda hurt but it's bearable naman" I answered
"Who is that guy's name again? The one who protected you?" kuya Madd asked while looking out the window
"Minro" I shyly said. Hindi ko alam bakit ako mahihiya.
He just nodded still looking away in the window.

It's been weeks since my accident, my head already healed but I still haven't said thank you to Minro, ang hirap kasi niya hagilapin.
"Did you heard? Yung subject natin for Laboratory is may dadagdag ng mga students for our final exam, per pair daw kasi and the pair should include one from Section A and one from Section B" Ari informed us all, habang naglalakad papunta sa subject namin na Laboratory.
Ari is my classmate sa lahat ng subjects
Night and Kennen is my classmate sa 3 subjects
Prime sa 4 subjects
Jayce sa 2 subjects
Laboratory, it's me, Ari, Jayce and Kennen.
"What a hassle" pahayag ni Jayce then inakbayan niya ko. I'm getting used to their clinginess already.
Pagpasok namin ng laboratory medyo dumami nga kami but as usual I didn't mind looking at everyone's face. We seated at our tables.
"Settle down, kids. Keep all your things 'cause you will need to listen carefully to me for you final project which will be your final examination for this subject. Hitting 2 birds with one stone, eh? So you better do your best." Sir Rafa explained
Basically, we will group into pairs, just like what Ari said that the two members must be from different sections but we won't be the ones to look for our partner because it will be draw lots, we Section A will be the one to draw our partners name.
When it was my turn I stood up and before picking a paper I rumbled it again, making sure. When I open the paper, Sir Rafa asked who is it.
"Mein" I plainly said.
Everyone was all shocked even the faces of Ari, Kennen, ans Jayce which made me confused.
"Okay, miss Lijuel and mister Mein please sit at the 3rd seat window." Sir Rafa said while pointiat our seat.
I immediately picked up my things from our seat and all they did was look at me with worried faces
"Why?" I asked in a low tone. Ari was about to say something when Sir Rafa interrupted and said I should be seated immediately.
I was still keeping glance to Ari when I reached my seat. I was about to greet my partner but when I turned my back to see him, to my surprise, again.
"Minro?!", I exclaimed
"Why do you have a problem with that?", he said without looking at me
"No, I don't have" I said while slowly drifiting my eyes from him
What the hell, Universe?
