"Why are you wearing a hoodie?" He asked while his gaze wasn't at me.

Napatingin ako sa braso ko nang sabihin niya iyon.

"Huh? Bakit bawal na ba mag-hoodie ngayon?"

He shook his head. "I didn't say that,"

"Eh, ano ngayon kung naka-hoodie ako?"

"Nothing, I just asked. If you're not comfortable, then, don't answer it."

Umirap ako bago ibinagsak ang aking bag sa upuan. Umayos ako nang upo nang makita ko ang matalim na tingin ni Alezia.

I lowered my gaze and tried to remember anything bad that I did to her. I shook my head as I can't remember anything. Why is she staring at me like I did something wrong to her, then?

Nagsimula na ang klase nang may mabigat ako na dibdib. Ni hindi ko na nga napansin ang oras na break time na pala namin. Hindi isang beses ang pagkahuli ko kay Maxeus Gavin na naka-tingin sa akin.

Sometimes I want to ask him why he became my classmate when he's actually a STEP student; but, I don't want to make him feel na sobrang, feeling close ako na totoo naman.

Mabilis akong bumaling sa kaniya bago iyon inalis at tumayo upang puntahan ang aking mga kaibigan.

I was about to take another step when someone held my wrist—I looked at it, and slowly revealed Maxeus Gavin who was holding me.

My eyes dropped on him and gave him a questioning look. He then slowly cut our stare by lowering his gaze.

If it was a normal day—I would literally asked him why did he do that; but, since, it's not—bumuntonghininga na lamang ako at iniwan siya sa pwesto niya. Agad na naglakad papaalis at papalayo mula sa kaniya.

When I reached their room I asked those who are familiar to me, they told me that the two of them were still inside the classroom.

Nakakahiya naman kasing pumasok. I am not like Ela na kayang-kayang mag-enter sa room because of her friendliness.

I tilted my head to look for them—and there I saw Ela talking to a tall, fair skin, pointed nose, with freckles, and dark and mysterious eyes, guy. I shook my head, she's being her usual self.

Bumaling ako sa bandang likod at doon ko natagpuan si Vida na naka-upo, nakakross ang braso, at may malaking busangot sa kaniyang mukha. I laughed mentally—she looked like a lost child!

Para talaga silang mag-ina ni Ela.

If only they can read my inner thoughts. They wouldn't think that I've been thinking like this. 'Yong tipong wala akong kagana-gana sa labas; but I am having my full energy inside me.

Maybe I should inform them, then? That I'm here outside their classroom.

I nodded, agreeing with what I thought.

Mabilis kong kinuha ang cellphone ko mula sa aking bulsa, I can't wait to tell them what happened.

I was about to type another random message when I heard someone clear their throat. Dahan-dahan kong inangat ang ulo ko at halos mag wala ang buong sistema ng katawan ko nang makitang si Sir Miranda.
