CHAPTER 7
LEIGHTON WAJEEH
WALA SA sariling nakinig ako sa last teacher namin this morning na si Mr. Dee. Kasalukuyan siyang nagdi-discuss at nagsusulat ng kahit anong formula at nagdu-drawing na sa tingin ko ay Ellipse.
My mind is filled with thoughts right now. I don't know why I am bothered about the upcoming debut ni Eun-ji. I mean, I did not decline her request to be her last dance, did I? Maybe it just kills me when Harry volunteered to be one and Eun-ji agreed on that within a split of second.
Look, I'm just pissed. I mean, who is he? He's just a new acquaintance. Right?
Shall I go to her debut? Maybe to eat? I don't know why I am acting like this. My only reason now if I will attend her debut is to eat, that's it. Perhaps, debut is not all about dancing.
But, I want to be---hays.
"What now?!"
For a moment, I forgot that I am still in class to the extent that I shouted out what's in my mind.
Biglang tumahimik ang klase and all of them are staring at me with their shocked faces. Nagtatanong kung nababaliw na ba ako o ano. Tumingin rin sa akin si Yuna na salubong ang mga kilay. I know what she's thinking right now. She must be thinking that I'm daydreaming again. Maya-maya ay biglang nanlaki ang aking mga mata nung napagtanto ko kung ano ang ginawa ko.
Did I just said it out loud?! What the hell?
With that, hiya kong tiningnan ang buong klase na nasa akin lahat ang atensiyon. Gusto kong lamunin ako ng lupa sa kahihiyan. This is so embarassing.
"Leighton Wajeeh Estrella! What's the matter?! You interrupted my discussion! Do you have a problem with me? May duda ka ba sa mga sinasabi ko?" galit na saad ni Mr. Dee sa akin.
"W-Wala po, sir. Pardon me," I said while lowering my head.
"Anong wala? What's the problem? Kanina pa kita napapansing wala sa iyong sarili. Hindi ka rin nakikinig sa akin! Hindi porket na perfect mo ang quiz ko no'ng nakaraan ay hahayaan na lang kitang balewalain ang klase ko... And worst, I won't tolerate someone who is shouting in the middle of my class! It's too disrespectful!" sumbat sa akin ni Mr. Dee.
After hearing his words, I can't help but to feel more embarrassment. As far as I remember, I only shouted two words, yet, he is reacting too much. It was too absurd. Despite of what I really felt, I still lowered my head and said, "N-Nothing, sir. I am truly, very s-sorry. It won't happen again."
"Surely it won't. Get out!" He yelled at me with his loud voice while pointing the doorway. Hindi naman ako nagdalawang isip pa at agad nang tumayo at lumabas.
Tsk. Did I deserve this?
I didn't stayed at the area. Nakakahiya naman kung tatayo lang ako sa labas tapos pagtitinginan ka ng mga kaklase mo na may awa sa kanilang mga mata. Kaya, lumabas nalang ako sa mismong building namin at dumiretso sa cafeteria. Hindi pa gaano karaming tao ang nandito. Mabilang pa sa aking mga kamay dahil class hour pa. Agad akong naghanap ng mauupuan. This is a little bit boring, I must admit.
Tumayo ako at umorder ng maiinom. Tumingin ako sa kanilang menu and luckily nandoon ang paborito ko.
"What's your order, sir?"
"One chuckie, please."

I AM SITTING alone on my chair after the instructor sent Leigh outside our classroom.
