Out of my limit (REVISING)

Part 12.

K a s s a n d r a

I was late the moment I entered the classroom, saklap pa when the teacher suddenly called me in front. Na-nerbyos ako sa pagtawag niya, matigas kasi ang pagkasabi. Medyo wala pa ako sa tamang pag-iisip, lalo na't wala pa akong maayos na tulog kagabi.

I was late dahil sa paggawa ng projects na halos nagkakasabay ang deadline. Ayoko kasing late sa pagpasa, nakakabawas ng points.

Binaba ko muna ang mga gamit ko sa bakanteng table in front. And then I went near Ms. Leah. She then gave me papers. I scanned it and found out it was William Shakespeare's poem, Romeo and Juliet.

English class namin today, kaya maaaring, i-assign niya 'to sa akin for a role play. When comes to this class, hindi naman sa pagyayabang or whatever, pero Ms. Leah trusts me for doing activities, gusto niya ako ang gagawa at magle-lead since, I have the potential daw.

She explained why she gave me the papers, and I was right, it's going to be a role play.

I went to grab my things and proceeded to my seat.

Knowing it wasn't empty. May nakaupo dun, I cleared my throat and said, "Upuan ko yan."

I don't know him, but maybe he's a transferee? And he do seems a bit familiar to me.

Binaba ko ang mga gamit ko since it already had both my hands, saka lang ako tumingin ulit sa lalaking nakaupo sa upuan ko.
Bigla akong nanigas. Na parang binuhusan ng isang litro ng napakalamig na tubig.

His eyes we're on me. Staring straight at me. And I was also staring back at him, causing me not to move. I freaked out the moment he started to have his lips on curve!

Ngumiti siya!

Tsaka siya tumayo and said, "Sorry, Di ko alam eh." and went to the seat where I had put my things earlier when Ms. Leah and I are having a conversation.

Unti-unti akong napaupo habang natutulala. Bigla rin akong napa-isip, "What is doing here?"

Bigla ko rin naalala yung araw na nagkita kami sa bubbletea. Gusto ko tuloy matunaw. Nakakahiya. Masyado akong nagpapahalata, I guess?

Kailangan ko itong pigilan since may nabasa ako na qoute and it says, "Take control of your kilig, before your kilig takes control of you." tama nga naman,ano?

Huwag ka ngang kiligin, Kassandra. FOCUS.

And then I finally calmed my self. Hindi ko inakalang magiging kaklase ko siya? Pero totoo ba 'to? Or is this just merely my imagination over taking me? It has been days na din kasi since I have imagined and thought of things na baka or what if maging kaklase ko siya? Sabi ko, it's impossible but how come it happened?

So far, so good. *grins*

"How good is your day, Ms. Manuel?" a sudden question cut me from my thoughts. Knowing it was Ms. Leah.

I looked up to her and said, "p-po?" totally confused about what she was talking about. I was caught off guard.

"Why are you grinning?" she asked. Quiet embarassed kasi nakatingin sa akin mga kaklase ko, including him.

Embarassed but aswered, "Nothing, Miss. I just remembered something." and then she went to the discussion, maybe she was already contented with my aswer and don't want to prolong our conversation.

*Lunch

I yawned just as after the period in the morning finished. Inaantok ako pero pinipigilan ko lang. Nagugutom din at the same time. Kaya inaya ko agad mga kaibigan na nag lunch na so I could take a nap afterwards.
