Scene #14

Agnes

*Ring*

The bell rang signaling that there's only 5 more minutes left. It's already the last subject and the teacher which is also my beloved brother is teaching the whole class. 

How did he get here? It's a long story but in summary he saved me from a tsunami of fan girls and told me that he's gonna be a teacher for three days. Today is his second day of teaching so far he's doing good. 

Additionally he's teaching the subject I hate the most. Physics.

It's not that I have a hard time understanding and I really don't hate physics that much it must be because there's so many numbers and letters and formulas and laws and more numbers and more letter and the list just goes on and on and on.

"Ms. Isaac could you please come over here and answer this question?" tawag sa akin ni kuya.

"Ako po?" I asked while pointing at myself

He nodded and reached out the marker I have no choice but to do it. So I stood up and approach him. While approaching the whiteboard hindi talaga nila mapigilan mag chismisan.

"Do you guys think na somehow parang may relation sila sa isa't isa?"

"I don't think so."

"Oo nga siguro nagkataon lang na parehas ang first name at last name nila?"

"Yeah there are cases like that naman diba?"

"Pero nakita kong kinaladkad ni Grace si Sir"

"Sino ba naman hindi diba? Ang gwapo kaya ni sir! Siguro ganun rin gawin mo."

"Honey its called skinship."

Kuya Isaac called the girls attentions. Hindi ko pa kasi nasulat sa whiteboard and sagot ko. I think he noticed that I was listening to them.

"Aren't you going to answer? Hurry up" sabi ni Kuya. 

I leaned forward just about the right angle to make sure that he's the only who can hear me.

"I don't know how to solve this" I whispered.

Kuya Isaac almost burst into laughter. I watch him trying his best holding his laugh. Ano bang nakakatawa kuya? Do you want me to punch you or pinch you? 

Bakit mo ba ako tinawag kung alam mo naman na hindi ko kayang sagutin ang ganitong klaseng mga sagot? He knows very well how busy I am with my schedules. I didn't have time to study. Lalong-lalo na ngayon. 

So why the hell me kuya?! 

If only I can shout at you in front of the class. 

"Your taking too much time Ms---" he didn't finish what he's about to say nand biglang na lang sumulpot si Finch Hinablot ang marker sa kamay ko and answered the problem kuya asked me to answer. 

After he's done answering he dragged me back to our seats. For I moment there I saw Finch glaring at kuya. 

I looked back to see his reaction. He looks a bit surprised.

At nang dahil sa ginawa ni Finch the class cause an uproar they commented on what just happened but I didn't have time to listen to my surroundings.

All of my attention were on Finch whose staring at me for some reason.

"Bakit ba ikaw ang sumagot nun?" tanong ko.

He pretended to not hear me and acted like he's copying notes. So I lightly push his arm just enough to get his attention. Tinignan niya ako ng masama. He's frowning.
