Lies After Lies

Chapter 12.

Xyrhil's POV.

I've been standing here in front of Ma'am Albrecht for a couple of minutes now but I didn't dare to open my mouth and talk. She said explain but I don't really know how to explain what happened yesterday, I don't even know if I want to talk about it. I ran away yesterday and that must've confused her, but I can't tell her the exact reason why I did that nor why I didn't let her know our address.

I know that she's getting irritated by me, you can clearly see it on her face. "Leave." I look up to see her stoic face. "If you don't want to talk then leave. You're wasting my time." She coldly said as I sigh and nodded before walking away, leaving her office.

Bagsak balikat naman akong naglakad papunta sa room ko dahil second subject na namin. Alam kong galit talaga si Ma'am Albrecht sakin, I mean who wouldn't? Nag magandang loob lang naman sya na ihatid kami ni Eve sa bahay pero tinakbuhan ko sya at nag sinungaling pa ako kung saan yung bahay namin and now she's asking me to explain myself but I didn't.

"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, are you okay?"

Ang sakit! Yung pwet ko, pota.

Tumingala naman ako para tignan kung sino yung naka-bunggo sakin na ngayon ay naka-lahad na yung kamay sakin. "Can you get up? I'm sorry I wasn't looking."

I shook my head as I get up on my own. "I'm fine, I'm sorry, I was the one who wasn't looking." My mind is occupied thinking about Ma'am Albrecht.

I stare at the woman in front of me, I noticed that she has a short natural brown hair, with an ocean blue eyes. She was wearing a simple white blouse tucked in with her blue skirt.

She lend her hand for a handshake. "I'm Carolina Santos." I slightly smile and shake her hand. "I'm Xyrhil Cartin Davidson."

I tried to pull out my hand but she just held it tighter, causing me to raise my left eyebrow, looking at her, confused. "Ehem." I cleared my throat to get her attention which I successfully did. "My hand."

"I'm sorry." She softly giggle as I nodded. "Pardon me, but can you please help me find this room?" Agad nya naman pinakita sakin yung schedule nya and surprisingly, we're classmates. Hindi ko naman sya namumukhaan, bago sya dito?

"Follow me. We're classmates." I smile as I started to walk while she's following me.

"Who is she? New classmate?" I nodded as I took out my small notebook.

"Nag transfer?" Walang gana akong tumingin kay Barbie at nagkibit-balikat. "Okay ka lang ba?" I simply nodded and look away.

Seryoso ba talaga na galit sakin si Ma'am Albrecht? Like, wala syang balak kausapin ako? Puntahan ko kaya sya mamaya sa office nya tapos mag explain ako? Although mag sisinungaling lang din naman ako, pero wala akong choice, hindi ko pwedeng sabihin sakanya yung mga nangyayari sa buhay ko.

Wait a damn minute. Why am I even bothered by this?

So what kung galit sya.

Pero kasi mali naman talaga yung ginawa ko, tinakbuhan ko sya, hindi man lang din ako nagpa-salamat ng maayos sakanya dahil sa pagtulong nya sakin pati na din sa pagpapatuloy nya samin ni Eve ng ilang araw sa bahay nya.

"Davidson, are you listening?" Napa-balik naman ako sa realidad nung marinig ko si Mr. Fuentes, agad ko naman ibinaling yung tingin ko sakanya at napansin ko din na naka-tingin na sakin yung mga classmates ko ngayon.

Napa-kamot naman ako sa ulo ko habang pilit na ngumiti. "Sorry po, hindi ko narinig sinabi nyo." He shook his head as he sigh. "I want you to tour Ms. Santos around here so she can be familiar with our School. Is that okay with you?"
