Hindi Tayo Pwede

UNA

Xyrix's POV
"Alright, good morning class, today, a scholar from CT Academy transferred here. Iha, introduce yourself." Professor Monteverde stated. I nodded my head and introduce myself to everyone. "My name's Xyrix Astraea Helixia Montenegro, I'm from Crimson Thornhills Academy. I am 21 years old. That's all you need to know about me." They looked at me with blank faces, dahil ba scholar ako, ganyan na kayo? "Very well, Ms Montenegro, welcome to Artesia University and to Noble Rise Special Curriculum. You can choose your seat now." Tumango lang ako and sat on the least noticed chair at the back.

Ano yon, bago pa lang ako tapos bida-bida agad? No way, not in my vocabulary. Well, honestly parang hindi naman ako masasabihang bida bida dahil lahat naman ng kaklase ko, lalaki. Pero, I think ayaw nila sa'kin. Kasi nga "scholar" ako. "Damn! She's so beautiful kaya lang hindi sya mayaman..." I heard someone whispered. Well I can't blame those students maganda naman talaga ako. My parents gifted me such beautiful genes. Mondragon and Montemayor are clans with beautiful genes... I wonder where they got these genes originate from.

Problema nga lang, yung huling sinabi. Ako? Mahirap? Hindi ba nila alam ang meaning ng scholar sa CT Academy? Sa bagay, kanya-kanyang meaning na yan in terms of schools. Sa CT kasi, scholar means, exceeder. A special student that deserves to have a better education so they need to be transferred to another school.

Anyways, balik tayo sa sinabi nilang maganda ako. Totoong hindi ko alam kung saan yun nanggaling. Sabi kasi ni Mommy, it's from Lola Roux, my great grandmother who was an actress in the late 1960s to 2000s at first love ni Lolo Cassian, ang Dad ni Daddy. Pero sabi naman ni Daddy, it's from Lolo Cassian and Lolo Khasthriel na napangasawa naman ni Lola Roux, magkaibigan sila na nahulog kay Lola Roux. They are also actors the same time Lola Roux was. Pretty complicated story.

"Hoy! Umalis ka nga sa upuan ko." Suddenly a deep voice roared, scaring most of our classmates and even our Professor. What the... Late na nga sya, ganyan pa sya. What a prickled cupcake. "Mr Villafuerte, why are you late?" Professor Monteverde asked as he tries to ignore the guy's sudden order. Kasi nga naman, nagtuturo ka lang naman ng maayos tapos biglang may sisigaw?! Napaka walang galang naman nito.

"Why don't you just continue teaching. Mind your own business, will you?!" The guy who's name is Villafuerte, coldly commanded and sat on the chair beside me. Tsk, pasigaw-sigaw pa sya, uupo rin naman pala. Anong klaseng utak mayroon 'tong lalaking katabi ko? Pero in fairness, pogi sya. He's moreno, matangkad, he's probably 6'9", and he has this messy hair that highlights his bambi blue eyes. Although I can sense some innocence in them.

The class started with an introduction of the lesson. Kahit alam ko na ang bawat ituturo ay pinili ko paring makinig pero someone just kept on getting on my nerves. "Hey, Ms. Scholar na nakaupo sa upuan ko" Villafuerte softly whispered. Daffodil Tea?! So I'm right? He's such an innocent guy. If ever na younger sya sa'kin kahit one year lang? I'll treat him as my younger brother. "Yes?" I coldly whispered back. I'm such an oatmeal, bakit ko ba sya sinu-sungitan?

"You bored?" Tanong nya. Napairap na lang ako. I saw how his happy eyes changed into sad eyes. He is this innocent? Gosh, I'm sorry baby. "Thanks for asking what's freaking obvi-" I stopped because he suddenly held my hand and played with it. I glared at him as a signal to stop playing but he didn't stop. I sighed and just let him be, hindi nya naman ako na-d-distract eh.

The lecture went on and before umalis si Professor Monteverde ay nag-announce sya ng mga projects namin and it's by pair. Passing ng projects is one week before the semester ends and ang natira ay kaming dalawa ng big baby na ito. He stopped scribbling and playing with my hand and his attention went to the professor after our professor's call. "Mr Villafuerte and Ms Montenegro, you will be partnered with each other since lahat ng mga classmates nyo ay nakapili na ng sarili nilang partners." Professor Monteverde said. Lavender chromium! "What's this for?" He coldly asked. Hindi kasi sya halos nakikinig dahil busy sya sa kamay ko. Ewan ko ba, parang may soft spot agad ako sa lalaking 'to. Bakit nga ba kasi hinayaan ko lang syang paglaruan yung kamay ko. He even scribbled on it.
