"Get one and pass."

Only Professor Salvahera's voice can be heard in the room. We are currently answering a quiz because she surprised us with it. Good thing I do advance study kaya hindi blangko ang questionnaire ko. The quiz has 50 items, and it's dizzying because she changed the definitions, not the ones written in the book. Yung iba kasi mag mememorise lang ng keywords para madali yung pag study, parang ikaw lang.

"Pst"

Tumingin ako kay Val ng kalabitin niya ako, ngumuso naman ito sa papel ko.

"Pakopya" Mahinang bulong niya, maski sila Jairenx at Shan ay nagsusumamo ring tumitingin sa akin. Bali nasa ikalawang row ako sa hulian, nasa bintana ako habang katabi ko si Val sumunod si Jai, samantala yung kambal ay nasa likurang bahagi.

I sigh and move my paper, nilakihan ko rin ang sulat ko para hindi sila mag mukhang owl. Matatalino naman ata sila, tamad nga lang, mabuti pa si Svea tahimik na nagsasagot.

"10 minutes more." Napatingin ako sa harap, miss Salvahera is looking at me in tightly that makes my heart beat so fast because of nervousness, nakita niya ba ang ginawa kong pagpapakopya kila Val? Ang bobo naman kasi  nilang mangopya dahil hindi marunong mag timing, puro lang sila sulat habang tingin nang tingin sa papel ko, nagmumukha pang Giraffe si Shaneya dahil sa pagtingin nito sa akin. Pag ako talaga mahuli, lagot sila.

"Times up, pass your paper in front and you may go. Servione, stay." Ito nanga ba ang sinasabi ko. Dumoble tuloy ang kaba ko.

Ama namin sumalangit nawa sila Val.

Niligpit ko ang gamit ko at pinauna na sila Shan dahil gusto pa sana nila akong hintayin, baka gagawa na naman sila ng ikakapahamak ng buhay ko kaya hindi ako pumayag.

Pumunta ako kay ma'am, I didn't let her see my nervousness baka paghalataan ako masyado.

"Bring this, follow me." Agad kong kinuha ang gamit niya at sumunod, while walking, I can't help but to think what happened in the passed day, I remember what she did.

If others were to see what she did as wrong because they might interpret them with malice, did she really have to give me the lollipop that was in her mouth? It felt like we were kissing because of the saliva on it. Maybe if this professor wasn't attractive and clean, I would've felt sick. But that lollipop smelled good. Did she put perfume in her mouth? The smell was addictive due to the mixture of our saliva.

This passed weeks she act weird and it made me confused.

Pag nasa room kami ay lagi siyang nagsusungit lalo na kapag nagsasalubong kami sa hallway, pagkatapos ng klase ay iniiwan niya ang gamit niya at pinapadala sa akin. We also eat together in her office tapos ipapacheck niya ako ng mga papel namin. Mas lalo lang akong nagtaka dahil sa mga kilos niya, hindi kasi tugma sa ugali niya. She's known us cold, strict, and don't give a damn care about her students, but the way she act is different, nakakatakot na iwan.

Kapag may ginagawa siyang bagay, lagi nalang kumakabog yung puso ko, pero hindi ko naman pinapahalata dahil baka may sakit nga ako sa puso, saka nalang ako magpapa check up kapag may time na, baka malala na ito. I always experience it kapag nakikita ko siya.
