Jema's POV
I took the handkerchief in my pocket and saw the initial on it "JMDJ". That's why her eyes was so familiar but I wasn't expecting it.
--------------------------------
Flashback one year Ago!
I ran to the open room of the school na walang tao then pumasok ako at umupo. I cried so far kasi 3rd place lang ako sa competition. It might affect my over-all ranking sa school. Nakayuko ako na nakatingin lang sa sahig while still crying. There was a figure of a girl standing in front of me. I saw her shoes muna then I looked up. I saw this very clean, neat and classy girl in uniform. She handed me her handkerchief and I was just looking at her nung una. I can only see her eyes kasi naka face mask siya then I took her handkerchief nalang kasi grabeh na tulo ng luha at sipon ko. Akala ko aalis na siya pero she sit beside me and wala naman syang sinasabi.
"I'm okay and thank you sa panyo" I said pero hindi siya gumalaw instead nakaupo padin siya sa gilid ko. Nakatingin lang siya sa labas and I took the time to look at her eyes kahit sa side view. Ang ganda ng mata niya then she suddenly looked at me and I was stucked and narealize ko nalang na ang tagal ko nakatitig sa mata niya. Mas na-confirmed ko pa na maganda talaga mata niya when she looked at me straight.
She took something in her bag and Its a bottle of water . May sinulat siya sa bote bago tuluyang tumayo at umalis.
"It's okay.. 3rd place is not bad and you did very well so smile.. sayang ang ganda ng mata at ngiti mo :) "JMDJ"
She wrote this and I was stunned reading it but she made me calm and realize that out of 20 3rd ako so not bad nga naman. Natawa nalang ako kasi ang OA ko dun.
I fixed myself before lumabas ng room and after that hindi ko na nakita si Girl.
-------------------------------------------
"It was you??" I asked Ella
"huh??" takang tanong naman niya saken.
"Ikaw yong nagbigay saken ng panyo a year ago sa may classroom kasi umiiyak ako" paalala ko sa kanya
"Huh??? hindi ko alam sinasabi mo Jema and dito lagn sa school kita nakita. Baka nagkakamali kalang" she replied.
Tinitigan ko ulet mga mata niya and impossibleng magkamali ako. I saw her na nagtataka pero sure ako but she insisted na hindi nga sya yon.
"You know what.. its not me.. kamukha ko ba??" Ella asked
"No.. your eyes kasi very familiar but the face hindi ko sure kasi nakaface mask siya nung time nayon." I explained.
"Nakow.. so its not me" confident niyang sabi so hindi ko nalang pinilit.
"Galanza and De Jesus.. here's the free food for the participants kumaen muna kayo bago umuwe sa school na tayo magcelebrate pagbalik natin sa monday.. okay? MS Torres said
"Paano ka uuwe Galanza??" Tanong ni Ms Torres
"Magtatricyle po.. okay lang naman po" sagot ko nalang then she looked at Ella
"My brother will pick me here so I'm good po" Ella said to Ms Torres
Umupo kami sa may bench and tahimik na kumaen. Ang weird niya kasi kanina ang saya saya niya ngayon back to serious face siya na tahimik lang. I just realized that Ella seems to be not an ordinary student. Matalino siya tahimik lang and She might be my competitor sa lahat ng subjects and sa ibang curicular activities.
"You want water? Kukuha kasi ako baka gusto mo at kuhanan na din kita" Ella offered
"Tumango lang ako habang sinusubo ko ang spag ng jollibee" maya maya pagbalik nya may dala na siyang water then tumayo na siya agad agad.
"Sorry.. I need to go dito na si Kuya.. or saan kaba banda?" tanong niya saken.
"Medyo malayo kaya wag kana mag offer" I said kasi malayo naman talaga baka mag abala pa.
"Okay"sabay talikod niya at alis
"hmm! hindi man lang ako pinilit" sabi ko nalang kasi umalis na din siya agad.
