YZARIAH ZAMIRA SALAZAR
I was just blankly staring at the food infront of me. I rolled my eyes and sighed.
I'm still stucked from what happened last night. I can't forget the way she smiled at me.
I looked at my phone when it started to vibrate. I grabbed it.
From : Celestine Villaries
Hi po, good evening. I'm Serise's friend. May I ask if it's possible for her to transfer to S.N.U? She really needs a safer and more private environment... We'll be willing to follow all requirements. Thank you for considering.
P.S: Pumayag na po kayo, maganda naman bff ko hihihihi.
My heart skipped a beat.
Serise....
She's transferring to my university....
To my territory....
Without hesitation, without even thinking twice, my fingers flew across the screen.
To: Celestine Villaries
Of course. Consider it done. I'll have the scholarship office handle everything immediately. It's now granted.
I locked my phone and exhaled a shaky breath, feeling a weird mixture of nervousness and excitement pooling in my chest.
She didn't know it yet. She had no idea that the school she was transferring to, the scholarship she had been granted, the silent protection she unknowingly had...
It was all because of me.
I tapped my fingers lightly against the table, my mind already racing.
If Serise transferred to S.N.U, it meant I'd see her more often.
It meant I'd be closer.
It meant... maybe, slowly... I could find a way back into her life.
Not as the stranger who pulled her from the crowd. Not as the shadow who sponsored her studies.
But as Zamira. As me.
Maybe someday, she'd realize that the person who never left her side even when she forgot everything was standing right in front of her all along.
This was just the beginning.
And I wasn’t planning to waste a single moment.
I will be her professor.

I rolled my eyes when I saw someone's annoying face.
"Aba, hindi porket you're pretty may privilege ka na tarayan ako ha," Cia said while pouting.
"Idiot. Is she working here?" I asked.
"Isn't it blatant?"
"No. It looks like she's the boss and you're the worker." I said and she looked at me, eyes widened.
"Hoy grabe ka!" she hissed but I just rolled my eyes on her.
****
My heart was beating too fast as it became my turn to enter their room.
Even though I'm still studying, I didn't hesitate to become one of the professors for her course.
I gulped and composed myself. I looked at my wristwatch. With a final deep breath, I entered their room.
