"Do you think magiging okay lang si Fiona dun sa Agate IV, Jazz?" I asked habang naglalakad kami sa Agate Bixbite Corridor. Kaming dalawa na lang ang magkasabay na naglalakad ngayon kasi nauna na si Asher (na nagkataong Agate IV din katulad ni Fiona).

"Oo naman," sagot ni best friend, without even thinking about it. "Third time nya na mag-isa sa homeroom without a close friend around so I'm sure she can manage."

"Your right, si Fiona pa." I said. Nalagpasan na namin yung Bixbite I (na katapat yung Agate I), meaning one more classroom to go and hello twelve grade na kami ni Jasmine. "Plus andun naman si Asher, I'm sure he can look after her for us."

"True," maikling sagot ni Jasmine. Nalagpasan na namin yung Bixbite II (and Agate II) kahit para kaming nasa mall dahil sa speed ng lakad naming dalawa. A few steps left and we'll officially start our last year here at MHS (not that I'm looking forward to college).

"Ready for twelve grade?" I asked best friend nung nasa tapat na kami ng nakabukas na pinto ng Bixbite III.

"Ready - no choice eh."

"Hello twelve grade,"

"What the heck are you doing here?" I hissed sa sit mate ko sa left side. Hopefully, he heard me over sa malakas na noises around us.

"This is my homeroom too, miss. So of course, I'm here - like you and the rest of the students in here." He hissed back.

"Why did you sat beside me? I don't want to be anywhere near you, after what you did last month." Well, it's not really last month since kulang pa ng ten days para officially last month na talaga siya. But whatever, kaya nga na-imbento yung rounding and estimation eh.

"Exactly, it happened last month. So why can't you just forget about it? Unless, you don't want to forget about me." Argh. Ang kapal pala nito eh! Nasaan na ba yung mga guitar nina Casey Moreta, Brad Simpson, Dan Richards, Alex Gaskarth, and Luke Hemmings? Maihampas nga sa mukha nitong lalaking 'to para matauhan. Kaso, nevermind. Sayang naman yung mga precious guitars nila, I'll just keep them. I'll use a refrigerator instead para mas masakit. "And if you don't notice yet, miss, ito na lang ang natitirang vacant seat. Kaya kahit ayaw ko ding maupo beside you, eh, I have no choice." Ni-check ko pa kung tama yung sinasabi niya and sure enough, wala na ngang empty seat.

Aish. Why? Why oh why? BAKIT? Why do I have to be stuck near to this guy? Sitting arrangements are always wors - wait. Hindi pa nga pala kami naka-sitting arrangement. Meaning, may pag-aasa pa 'kong malayo sa kanya! Yes!

Oh, I can't wait for that to happen! Definitely!

"Okay class, settle down." Mrs. Rosales, our new adviser, said after she put her things down the teacher's table. "First of all, I would like to welcome you all to your fourth and last year here at Moonstone High School. Graduating na kayo, so I expect na you students put a lot more effort on your works. I also expect na magiging mas serious na kayo when it comes to studying and passing all of your tests." Some of my classmates groan in protest when she mentioned that. "Anyway, I'm Mrs. Yannie Rosales and you can call me Mrs. Rosales. Again, welcome to twelfth grade and to Agate IV."

She paused for a moment to look at us before continuing. "Since I already introduced myself to you, it's now your turn to introduce yourselves to your classmates." Introduction? She gotta be kidding me! "Oh c'mon, would you guys rather be introducing yourselves here in front or doing work?" The room immediately filled with murmurs. Mostly saying that they rather introduce themselves. "Well then, let's start! Front row first - tell us your name, what name you prefer to be called, and two facts about you." And the boring (because we already knew each other's names) introduce yourself time started.
