CHAPTER ONE.
"Congrats! Top 1 ka ulit ng school!"
Inabot sakin ni Mr. Cruz ang isang certificate bilang isang Top 1 student ng school this sem, and finally isang sem nalang gagraduate na ako. I finally gonna leave this school.
"Thank you po!" Sabi ko sabay kuha ng certificate
"I know this last sem gonna be taugh for all of you students, but can you do me a favor Miss Del mundo?"
Bigla ako nagtaka sa sinabi ni Mr. Cruz, and what kind of favor he was asking me for?
"Can you tutor my Son?"
Hindi ko alam ang ire react sakanya pero patuloy lang sya sa pagsasalita.
"Naiiba ka sa lahat ng students dito Michelle Del Mundo, I've been observing you for all these school years and Your intelligence is out of level, I guess my Son can learn a lot from you."
I want to be humble, but I couldnt say any words in front of him.
"Since all the universities are wanting you because of your intelligence, they known your background and my surprise I know your Family isnt in good shape right now,
I will pay you for tutoring my Son, Tell me the amount"
I wasn't surprise of what he said that these big fishes can do me a background check and see what kind of shit I've been facing right now, and yes I need more extra income. I was aware that some universities wants me.
"Fifty Thousand per month."
Yun agad ang unang pumasok sa isip ko at pagkatapos kong sabihin yun ay inabot nya ang kamay nya.
"Deal!"
I just made a transaction with the school principal. Iniipit ko ang certificate ko sa notebook ko at nilagay iyon sa bag. Mabilis lang natapos ang school hours at same routine, after school ay dadaan muna ako sa Hideout which is tambayan ng ilang student after school, Isa syang coffee shop na may rooftop at may billiards, may ktv at aracade games.
As usual maraming students ang nandoon at may makikita ka rin na iba ang uniform.
"One french vanilla please"
"Already on the way, I knew it already when I saw you walking towards here." Sabi ng Isang guy na barista.
"Regular ka ba dito?" I asked.
"Yes at palagi kita nakikita." He answered while making my order.
"Baka sakin ka lang nakatingin?"
Hindi sya nakasagot at napatingin lang sakin, He smirked.
"Hindi mo mapapansin na nakatingin ako sayo kung hindi ka din nakatingin sakin."
Oh my God! am i flirting with him right now? really!
Tapos na ang French vanilla ko, at kinuha ko na iyon sakanya bigla ako kininditan, I don't know Im being flirty earlier pero tila mabilis nag change ang mood ko kaya hindi ko ito pinansin na parang hindi kami naglalandian kanina. I know he noticed it and his expression changed.
"What? You wouldn't even say your name?!"
Narinig ko ang sigaw nya pero patuloy ko syang tinalikuran at humanap ng mauupan.
Nakahanap ako ng bakante malapit sa Bilyaran at may mga ilang lalaki na tambay don.
Nilapag ko ang drinks ko, at binuksan ang Ipad para magresearch. Biglang may nagpop up na message.
Where ya at?
Text message ng isang Unknown Number.
Who are you? I replied.
