Cresley's POV
-----------------
8:54 A.M.
Ughh, English time. I hate this. Even though my mentor is.... Hay, eto nanaman si Abrenica...
"HOY! Hanggang ngayon parin ba tulala ka jan?! Alam kong naperfect mo yung 30 minutes suprise quiz natin, pero di yun rason para titigan mo yung fan.", I said after slamming the table of Nixon.....

Before Cresley slammed the table

(Nixon's POV)
"Hay, kamusta kaya siya? Siguro masaya siya dahil wala na yung lalaking laging kinukulit siya, yung lalaking nagseselos palagi kapag may kasama siyang iba, yung lalaking di ny-"
---------------------------------
After she slammed the table
---------------------------------
"Ha?! Di naman ako tulala ah? Imagination mo lang yun no?", I answered quickly. Then she said, "Nixon, natutunaw na yung electric fan sa kakatitig mo. Ano ba yun?" I answered, "Ah, wala lang. Iniisip ko lang kung kamusta na siya. Its not a big deal anyway... Kailangan mo ba ng tulong dyan?" She said, "Ahh, wag mo na munang isipin kasi its English time. Hahaha hindi na, thank you."
(Bell rings)
"Yes, tapos na rin sa English. So, ano Nix? Bababa ka? Sabay nalang tayo gusto mo?", Cresley said.
"Sige lang, mauna ka na muna. Gusto ko lang mapag-isa ngayon. Atleast masanay naman akong mag-isa."
"Arte mo! Bahala ka. Joke hehe. Sige tsaka nagugutom na ako. Byerz.", as Cresley reaches for her coin purse.
"Bababa rin naman ako. Ayoko lang ng may kasama. K?", I told her with a low voice.
She then said, "Ahh sige. Ttyl at Math class.
~~~~~~~~~
As Cresley left, I was really absorbing everything. I was absorbing that in every Monday break time, there would be no one to wait for in my class room, and going with no one to the canteen and will always tell me, "Ako taya ah?". And more likely, ako parin yung taya...
After 5 minutes, I began to stand up and gone to the canteen. Now that I'm alone, I have no one to talk to. So I just bought a pack of cookies which contained 3 pieces, and mostly I only get one because the other 2 was always eaten by another person, which is her.
So as I go back to our classroom, I saw Cresley sitting beside my table. Then as I approached my table, I heared a familiar voice... It was HER beside the door and calling Cresley. My heart stopped and pounded hard. And as Cresley looks back, her eyes opened wide... Wider than before and looked at me. Then she said, "Beeeest! Anong ginagawa mo dito?! Wait for me outside our room, okay?" She then said, "Oki besty!" Then Amber moved out.
Cresley, still shocked and looked at my face. My face was pale, really pale. And my sweat is cold. She then said, "Huy, okay ka lang? Obviously hindi. Sige na, kakausapin ko na muna yun." I didn't answered anything as she leaves.
~~~~~~~~~~~~
I was silent through Math class. I mean really quiet. I never listened to anything and was only looking at one thing... The cookies.
-----------------
Cresley's POV
-----------------
"Kapal naman nung babaeng yun, nakuha pa niyang kamustahin yung ex niya na iniwan niya. Nagagalit lang naman ako kapag may maling ginawa yung tao. At alam naman siguro ng lahat na siya yung mali dito. Hay, I just have to understand and don't make anger take control over me. Tsak-"
Then Sir said, "Students, may surprise ako." As everyone got excited but Nixon didn't react because of what happened earlier.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Surprise QUIZ?! Yun yung surprise?!" I reacted loudly so Nixon could hear it, but he didn't. He was cold, dead cold after hearing Amber's voice.
As the papers were layed to our tables, I began to tap him and said, "Nixon, meron po tayong quiz kaya sumagot ka na po" Then he said, "Alam ko naman, di naman ako bingi."
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Students, let's record your scores.... Abrenica?", Sir said to Nix. While Nixon here is still staring at the fan and didn't heared what Sir said. So I shook him up and said, "Huy, ikaw na." So he immediately said, "30, Sir." This shocked me because even his mind is out of this world, he still managed to perfect the exam. Then I said, "Grabe naman yang utak mo! Kahit wala sa mundong 'to eh nakakaperfect ka parin?" But he said nothing in return. Maybe he's still sad because of what happened earlier, even though he wasn't the one who was called by Amber. So I decided to leave him alone first...

After the recording of scores

Nixon's POV
(Bell rings)
As I was fixing my things from Math class, Cresley approached me and said, "May gusto ka bang malaman? Kung pinagusapan ka ba namin?" I was curious because maybe they did, so I replied, "Wala naman, bakit? Pinagusapan nyo ba talaga ako?" She then said, "Tara, kwento ko sayo habang bumibili tayo ng pagkain sa canteen"
