My Teacher Is A Goddess

CHAPTER FIFTEEN

Chapter Fifteen

“Good morning students!” I greeted them as soon as I entered the room.

“Good morning Ms. Yllani!”

Nilagay ko ang mga dala kong gamit sa lamesa ko at bago ako umupo ay inilibot ko uli ang tingin sa buong classroom. Wala sila.

‘Mga pasaway! Sabi nang wag munang magpahalata sa mga tao eh!’

“Ang tagal ng bakasyon niyo ah. Kamusta naman ang pananatili niyo sa mga bahay niyo?” Tanong ko sa kanila. I just felt like I'd be missing this class when I'd finally leave for my world.

“I want to listen to your experiences while staying at your respective homes. I will give high grades to those who'll deliver their statements smoothly and efficiently.” Bigla namang umingay ang buong klase hindi dahil sa nagrereklamo tulad ng dati ngunit ngayon ay mahahalata mong sabik na sabik silang pumunta sa gitna.

“Now, who wants to go first?” Isang ngiti ang sumilay sa aking mga labi nang makita kong lahat sila ay tumaas ng kamay.

Ohhh... ang cute naman parang gusto ko nalang silang turuan araw-araw. Pero biro lang madami pa pala akong gagawin.

“Ms. Chi, why don’t you go first?” Tawag ko sa isa kong estudyanteng Chinese. Masaya naman itong pumunta sa gitna.

Magsisimula na sana ito nang bumukas ang pintuan. Lahat ng atensiyon ay naroon.

“You’re all late again. What’s with you six? Can’t you please go to school on time?” Sabi ko nang makapasok silang lahat.

Wala ba silang teleportation abilities or super speed?

Are they just too stubborn or just attention seekers?

“Ehemm, for your information Miss Yllani, we actually get here in school in the exact time, it’s just that we have to walk here in the classroom.” Ani Crizelle.

“She’s definitely right, Miss.”

“And the school’s way too big and we’re just walking.” Sabat naman ni Shanley.

I rolled my eyes heavenward and crossed my arms together at chest level.

“You’re making nonsense excuses again, go sit now or I’ll take you straight to the guidance office!” Sabi ko at dali-dali naman silang pumunta sa upuan nila.

“Miss Chi, please continue. . .”

Tumango ito at nagsimula nang magsalita. “For the past few days that our classes are suspended and cancelled. I did so many things back at my home just like. . .”

Few minutes had past and the bell rang, sinyales na tapos na ang isang oras na inilaan para magturo ako.

“That’s it for today. Class dismissed.” Sabi ko at nag-prepare na para lumabas.

//“How can you say na may pagkakapareho sila? Look at her! Kung siya si Enaire edi sana pinaupo niya lang tayo kanina.”

“Tama si mayaman, ang sungit ni teacher Eraine compared kay Enaire.”

“The names were so close though...”

“Shhh... shut up na nga baka may makapasok pang iba sa usapan natin...”//

I smirked secretly. Ohh, I just did. I did listen to your conversation.

And I left the room.

As soon as I walked out ay nakasalubong ko agad si teacher Nichelle ngumiti ako at gayon din siya.

“May klase ka pa ba Miss Elle?” Tanong ko sa kaniya.

“Oo eh, my schedules were so full today.” Aniya.

“Too sad to hear that. Well that’s our job! HAHA!” Sabi ko sa normal na tono at sabay kaming natawa.

“Why’d you asked ba Miss Yllani?” Tanong niya habang iniikot ang tingin at nang sinundan ko iyon ay nakatingin siya sa kakalabas na anim na mga matitigas ang ulo.

Ibinaling ko ulit ang tingin sakanya at this time ay diretso na ang tingin nito sakin. “Wala naman. I just want to invite you for a snack at the cafeteria but it seems like...” Hindi ko na itinuloy ang sasabihin ko nang humakbang ito paalis.

“Pasensya na pero aalis na’ko. Bye teacher Raine!” Aniya sabay lakad paalis ‘yung tipong may sinusundan siya and the wind starts to whisper something na sundan ko siya and I really did.

I don’t know but I kind of feel something from teacher Nichelle as if... she’s a dem0n.

I took out a deep breath and shook my head. I started following her secretly. The heck! I don’t have invisibility to make this easy. Ughh! I guess I have to make this through by other abilities.

Lumiko siya ng daan at bago pa ako sumunod ay sinigurado kong malayo-layo siya ng kaunti para di siya makahalatang may sumusunod sakanya.

As the moment goes by I feel really thrilled and anxious at the same time. What if she really is a dem0n and she want the royalties d3ad?

Hindi ko siya papakawalan and I’ll make sure to t0rture her untill she speaks. At tsaka... niloko niya ako no?! I won’t let her get through!

And now she’s entering a room. Luminga-linga pa siya to make sure no one sees her.

Nang makapasok siya ay ni-lock pa niya ang pinto. Nang makaharap na ako sa pinto ay nakiramdam ako sa kung anong ginagawa niya sa loob and I heard nothing! Stvpid.

I counted minutes before deciding to open the door. I hope I’m wrong... I hope hindi totoo ang hinala ko because she’ll be miserable if she really is an enemy. So this is it—

One... two... three!

Nang mabuksan ko ang pinto ay tumambad sa akin ang mukha ni teacher Nichelle na gulat na gulat.

“M-miss Yllani! W-what are you doing here?” Aniya

“Ikaw. Anong ginagawa mo dito?” Tanong ko pabalik at bakas naman ang kaba sa mukha nito.

“Ummm, teacher Raine, we’re in the restroom. What else will I do?”

At saka ako luminga-linga sa loob. Bigla kong nakagat ang pang ibabang labi ko sa kat@ngahan ko. This is so embarrassing!

“Is that why you’re rushing all the way here earlier?” Sabi ko. Tumango naman siya.

“I’m so sorry Miss Elle for this. Akala ko kasi—”

“Akala mo ano?” Mapagkutya niyang tanong.

“Nothing! Just following you because I want to... tour myself here. You know... bago palang ako dito I want myself to be more comfortable and used to the environment here. That’s it.” Sabi ko.

“You know what teacher Raine, you’re getting more weirder and weirder.” Aniya.

“Well maybe it’s because I’m not yet used to be here.” Mahinahong sabi ko.

“Well, if that’s the case... I’ll better be going. I still have my next class.” She said before leaving.

I let out a deep sigh when I knew she’s not an enemy.

I was about to turn my back also but then I saw a piece of paper. When I took it from the floor my heart is beating too fast. It’s her schedule.

It was her vacant the whole morning. Why did she lie?

Mas lalo akong nawindang nang makita ko ang pagkawala ng itim na usok mula sa kamay niya hindi pa man kalayuan.

“What the...”
