Carmelita's POV
"May sagot ba kayo dito?" The teacher asks sternly. (Does anyone have an answer for this?)
I raised my hand, "Yes, Ms. Abadiano?" he called my last name. "It's -" "6." A deep voice cuts mine,"Correct." My teacher says. I then found the one who cutted me off and found..Alexander Lopez. My academic rival. Great. I look at him, then scoffs.
He's so annoying, yet I seem to enjoy that.He grins sheepishly and seems to enjoy his doings. I mouthed at him, "Answer stealer."
He chuckled and mouthed. "Clusmy girl." I made a sarcastic gasp. He laughed while I chuckled. "Ms. Abadino! Mr. Lopez! May I ask what's funny?" He said sternly.

Lie.
"They aren't really bothering you?" She asks, her voice full of worry. I pout at the memory of them. My family. The ones who were supposed to love me but yet abuse me and treat me like trash. Bianca had witnessed everything because she was my neighbor. So I'm sure she knows and worries."Yeah, they aren't anymore." I chuckle, keeping my facade up.
