Lies After Lies

Chapter 25.

Xyrhil's POV.

"Well, someone is definitely in a good mood." Rie smiled at me and looked over to Ma'am Albrecht. "And it's a rare opportunity to see Ma'am Albrecht with a smile. Although it's just a slight smile."

Siniko naman ako ng mahina ni Meldie. "May nangyari sainyo?" Puta.

I pushed Meldie as I glared at her. "Anong nangyari nanaman pinagsasabi mo?" She shrugged as she chuckle.

I looked over and saw Ma'am Albrecht walk into School with a slight smile on her face. "So what did you do?" I looked over at Rie as she was staring at me.

I shrugged as we decided to walk into School. "Nothing. Tigilan nyo nga yung pagiging chismosa nyong dalawa." Lumalala na yung pagka-chismosa nitong mga to eh.

"Oh? Si Carolina yon ha." Tugon ni Meldie na agad naman ikina-lingon namin dalawa ni Rie sa tinuturong direksyon ni Meldie.

And there, I saw Ma'am Albrecht and Carolina talking to each other. They were talking to each other, casually. As if they weren't a Student and Professor, just normal people. When did they get so close?

"When did they get so close?" I heard Rie as I shrugged. That was also the question that's running inside my head right now.

"Hmm." Meldie hummed as I glance at her. "They look good together."

Agad naman na pumitik yung leeg ko sa direksyon ni Meldie nung marinig ko yung sinabi nya. Anong they look good together? What did she mean by that? Paano nya nasabi na they look good together, naka-tayo lang naman sila at nag uusap, paanong they look good together!?

"Oh? Ma'am Albrecht smiled, widely. What the heck? That's rare."

I immediately turned my gaze on their direction and saw Ma'am Albrecht smiling from ear to ear, while Carolina is blushing. What are they talking about? What made her smile like that?

"What do you mean that's rare, Rie? Eh ngayon ko nga lang nakita na ganyan si Ma'am eh." Tugon ni Meldie na mas lalo kong ikina-irita sa hindi malaman dahilan.

This is just so unfair. Palaging masungit sakin si Ma'am Albrecht tapos sobrang bihira ko lang sya makita na naka-smile, lagi nya lang akong tinatarayan. She's really unfair, and honestly, when did they got so close to each other?

"Ano sa tingin mo, Xy? Bagay sila noh?" Agad ko naman sinamaan ng tingin si Meldie.

"Anong bagay pinagsasabi mo? Hindi kaya!" Saan banda yung bagay dyan? Bulag ata to si Meldie eh.

Rie chuckled. "Are you jealous? Label muna oy!" Gaga to ha.

"She's right. And what's with that expression? You're not really jealous, are you?" Pang aasar na tugon ni Meldie.

"Outrageous! Why would I feel something as ridiculous as jealousy!?" Don't take me for a fool. Why would I even be jealous.

I watched as Ma'am Albrecht and Carolina leave together as they were so close to each other, to the point that their shoulders were touching.

Okay, fine! I'm jealous.

"Oy! Saan ka pupunta? Wag mo sila sugurin ha! Tandaan mo wala kayong label." Madapa ka sana, Rie. Leche talaga tong mga kaibigan ko.

"Billy, ayan ba yung mga late naka-tapos ng homework na pinapagawa ni Ma'am Albrecht?"

Billy, our class president and basically our class know-it-all. We're not really close, so I don't really know why the heck I'm here talking to him.

He furrowed his brows as he nodded. "Yes, and I'm taking these to Mrs. Albrecht's office."

I know. This is the reason why I approached you. "Let me take them to her office instead." I smiled at him as he took a step backwards. "At bakit naman kita susundin?"
