Erin is welcomed with excited chatters from her fellow freshman as soon as she enters the room. Some already gained friends while some are still wearing off the first day of school jitters.
She scan the entire room to look for a seat and to her dismay, nakuha na ang pinakadulong upuan. The only seats left are on the middle row. Naupo si Erin sa tabi ng bintana kung saan wala pang nakaupo ni isa, mukhang wala rin naman na dadagdag pa because the room is already crowded as it is. Besides, Erin doesn't have any social bones in her body, ni hindi nga nito alam kung paano mag initiate ng conversation.
Maya-maya ay dumating na rin ang homeroom teacher nila kaya nagsi-upo na ang lahat sa kanya nilang upuan. He was a middle aged man wearing a spectacles. He's quite good looking given his age kaya hindi na nagtaka si Erin nang magbulungan ang babae niyang kaklase and gossip about how good looking their homeroom teacher is.
"I won't let you introduce yourself in front of the whole class, I know some of you don't even want to. Kaya hahayaan ko nalang kayong ipakilala ang isa't-isa through socialising" cheers were heard inside the room. Erin sighed in relief. Mabuti naman. She doesn't want to humiliate herself especially on the first day of school. The thought of being in front of everyone while all eyes are on her is frightening.
"Anyway—"
"Sorry, I'm late!" The teacher was cut off when a young student burst through the sliding door radiating too much energy. Mukhang sanay na ito sa atensiyon because he doesn't mind the stares at naglakad pa siya papunta sa unahan at nag bow.
All eyes were on him. His eyes were sharp and fox-like, quite intimidating as well — it's like he could shoot daggers through his stares alone. Ngunit biglang nagbago ang buong itsura nito nang ngumiti siya. His eyes turned crescent, a whisker like dimple emerges from his cheeks. His whole iced persona suddenly melted and turned into a sunshine.
The whole class went awe, something in him radiates too much positive energy. It's like the whole classroom was suddenly filled with enthusiasm — but the most enthusiastic of all, is Erin whose eyes were sparkling and in a brink of tears.
There he is
"I'm Keen Simmons! Nice to meet you!"
I found him
Keeana, I found your lost brother
Keen scanned the whole room and his eyes met Erin — who's still staring. Nakangiti itong lumapit sa pwesto niya at umupo sa bakanteng upuan katabi nito.
Their homeroom teacher only stated the following rules and regulations ng paaralan as well as its history. Erin, who's still in a state of daze took a quick glance at the man sitting beside him. He is currently humming a song habang may sinusulat sa papel.
