THIRD PERSON'S POV
"The next pair will be, Maraiah queen arceta and Mikhaela lim"
Hearing those words made mikha to freeze on her seat. Naiisip na ni mikha na malas siya ngayong araw. Mikha lowered her head down para maitago ang emosyon na nararamdaman niya ngayon pero ang papaasar ng dalawa niyang kaibigan behind her is not helping.
Aiah on the other hand nagulat din as well. Hindi niya inexpect na magiging ka partner niya yung taong iniiwasan niya for days. Ang reason naman kaya niya iniiwasan si mikha is dahil mayroon siyang nararamdaman na something weird since the day she took mikha home. Stacey clinginess towards to lisa makes her feel somewhat annoyed.
Nakatingin naman si aiah sa kinauupuan ni mikha na inaasar ni gwen at colet. Gustong gusto na sigawan ni mikha yung dalawa pero alam niyang nasa class pa sila, wala na siyang choice kundi pakinggan nalang ang pangaasar nila. Aiah giggled softly knowing na siya ang reason kung bakit inaasar nila si mikha. But suddenly, her eyes narrowed nung makita niyang inaasar na din ni chie si mikha like colet and gwen did.
"Bakit mo naman aasarin yung taong that you're dating to another person?" Aiah said to herself. Iniwas nalang ni aiah ang tingin niya at nag focus na sa lesson nila ngayong araw.
Their class has ended which mikha sighed in relief. Finally pwede na niyang gantihan tong nangaasar sa kanya. She completely helpless nung dumagdag pa si chie sa pangaasar nila.
Agad naman tumakbo papalabas si Mikha at papunta ng cafeteria kaya napatakbo din ang dalawa. And of course, being an athlete is really an advantage for mikha. Nakarating si mikha ng cafeteria ng wala man lang pawis.
Nung makarating si mikha sa cafeteria umupo siya sa isang bakanteng table at naghintay sa mga kaibigan niya. When she finally saw the two figures coming in, Mikha quickly acted cocky. Si Colet at Gwen agad naman pumunta kung nasaan nakapwesto si mikha. Parehas naman silang hingal na hingal at pawis na pawis habang nakatitig kay mikha ng masama.
"Yah! Bakit ka naman tumakbo ng ganon?" Colet whined.
"Who told you to run too?" Mikha said innocently. Napahinto naman yung dalawa sa sinabi ni mikha.
"Yeah Col, bakit nga ba tayo tumakbo?" Gwen asked with her eyebrows furrowed.
"I-I-I don't know!" Colet said panicking.
Nagsisihan naman yung dalawa kaya napatawa si mikha ng sobra sa inaasal nung dalawa. Dumating naman ang iba nilang kaibigan pero no signs of aiah.
"Puro kayo kalokohan dalawa" Mikha said between her laughs while pointing at the two. Nagkatinginan naman si gwen at colet bago nila atakihin si mikha. Patuloy lang sila sa pag aasaran nila pero natapos to nung they heard a cough coming from someone near them.
"Can I join you for lunch?" Aiah said. Pinapanood lang ni aiah yung tatlo habang nasa kabilang table siya. It took a lot of courage for her to go near them. Napatitig naman si mikha kay aiah and blink a few times, wondering bakit nagustuhan ni aiah na mag lunch with them.
"Saan ka naman pupunta miks?" Stacey asked when she noticed na aalis na si mikha. Mikha smiled weakly and napatingin kay aiah.
"Okay lang ba na nandito ako?" Mikha asked, na nakatingin pa rin kay aiah.
Aiah felt a sudden pang of pain hit her chest nung makita niya ang sadness sa mga mata ni mikha. Alam ni aiah na hindi siya pwede mag complain kung bakit nagkakaganon si mikha dahil siya din ang may kasalanan.
"Of course. Hindi mo kailangan umalis" Aiah said, Giving mikha assurance she needed.
"Ayoko lang ulit makarinig ng hurtful words again" Bulong ni mikha na narinig pa rin ni aiah. Aiah was slowly engulfed with guilt. Gusto mag apologize ni aiah sa mga sinabi niya kay mikha but aiah clearly knew that an apology wouldn't enough.
Dahan dahan naman na bumalik si mikha sa upuan niya. Pinili niyang tumabi kay stacey which was across from the available seat that aiah will occupy. Inabot naman ni maloi yung braso ni aiah kasi aiah is spacing out. Nagulat naman si aiah pero she quickly back to reality at napangiti na lang at umupo.
"Where's gelo?" Sheena asked. She found it unusual na walang gelo na nakabuntot sa kanya.
"Pumunta siya dun sa ka-partner para i discuss something na related sa bago project natin sa science club" Aiah said.
"Hindi ko nga maintindihan kung bakit kailangan nanaman natin na gumawa ng panibagong science project" Maloi said.
"For extra grades yves" Aiah answered.
"Lucky for you! Ikaw at yung partner mo parehas na matalino" Maloi said and let out a defeated sigh. Napatingin naman si aiah kay mikha na ngayon ay nakasandal sa balikat ni stacey. Tahimik lang si mikha simula kanina and alam ni aiah na siya ang dahilan kunv bakit tahimik si mikha.
"I have a suggestion." Jhoanna said brightly. Napatingin naman silang lahat kay jhoanna and when mikha saw how her face turned into a smug one, Alam niyang may pinaplano nanaman tong si jho.
"Make sure na yung suggestion mo is pretty helpful ah" Stacey warned her which made jho pouted.
"Kelan pa ako gumawa ng suggestion na lame?" Jho asked.
"Always" Mikha not looking at jhoanna.
Jho narrowed her eyes towards to mikha but mikha just ignored her which made her more annoyed. She took a deep breath para mapakalma niya ang sarili niya or baka makalimutan niyang kaibigan niya si mikha at sapakin niya to sa mukha.
"So what i was saying is, why don't we prepare for the science project together?katulad nung sa science fair." Jho said wiggled her eyebrows. Napahinto naman sila para isipin kung tama ba iniisip ni jho.
"That was a one good idea. Hindi ko akalain na mag fu-function pa yung brain mo ng ganyan" Stacey said while giving a slow clap making the others burst out in laughter.
"Yah! Stop pouting. Mukha kang duck." Mikha said when she saw Jho's reaction. Napatingin naman si jho kay aiah. Her eyes are looking for sympathy.
"Hindi naman akong mukha duck diba, Aiah?" Jho said in a cute way which made aiah cringe.
"Of course you do" Aiah said making jho huffed in annoyance.
"Okay. Enough na sa paga-asaran" Maloi said.
"Kailan ba tayo magii-start ng preparation natin para sa stupid na science project na yan" Colet said.
"Why not later? Para makapag brainstorm na tayo ng mga ideas?" Sheena said.
"Perfect! Gawin natin yan mamaya sa bahay nila mikha" Gwen said kaya agad napatingin si mikha sa kanya. Nagulat siya sa sinabi ni gwen at mag rereklamp pa sana kaso wala na siyang magagawa kasi agad silang umagree including si aiah na napilit ni maloi. Wala namang choice si mikha kundi pumayag.
