I was making my way to the shed in front of our building, as usual to wait for the bell.



As I sat, I saw Romero going down the stairs, looking . . . I don't know . . . pissed maybe?



I didn't bother to hide. Mukhang wala nama siya sa kanyang sarili.



So I went up, since the reason of my waiting is now gone.



All of my classmates were inside except for me. My eyes instantly fell on the vacant seat after mine.



Where is she?



I looked at clock that hangs above the white board. Still have 10minutes before the bell rings.



I shrugged it off and took my seat. Baka lumabas lang saglit.



The remaining time passed and the bell rang, still no sign of her so I decided to asked my other seatmate.



"Pumasok ba si Ella?"



Hindi ako mapakali. She can't be late. She never was.



"She's here kanina. After Romero walked out, sumunod siya."



Confused.



"Why? what happened?"



He shrugged "LQ ata? medyo tumaas ang boses ni Romero habang kausap si Ms. Ella kanina. Though composed pa rin si Ms. Ella, pansin kong medyo galit din siya."



"Did you heard their conversation?"



He looked at me like I'm crazy "No, tingin mo sakin? chismoso?" at inirapan pa ako.



"Pero buti umalis agad si Romero, rinding-rindi na ako sa mga kwento niya. Puro kayabangan lang naman blah blah blah blah blah. . . ."



I rolled my eyes.



I sighed. Ano kaya ang problema nila?
