Richard's Point of View

I got up from my bed and looked at the wall clock.

Ugh. My head hurts. A LOT.

6:10 am.

Damn! Fucking late.

I did my morning rituals then went to AMU. Takte! May hangover pa ako. Fucking alcoholic drinks. Tss.

"For the second time around, you're late. May I know the reason, Mr. Faulkerson?"
Bakit ba kapag late ako, laging natatapat sa professor na 'to? Badtrip.

"Headache, Mrs. Mercado" I casually said. I'm telling the truth here. *winks*

She asked me to go to the school clinic but, "No need" I shook my head then went to my seat.

As I sat down to my chair, the insane rulebreaker who sits beside me started to piss me off. Well, not really.

"Late again. Pffft" She chuckled a little.

"What do you even care?"

"Headache-headache ka pa. Hahaha. Hangover kamo"

Tss. Really? What's with her mood?

"Get a life, insane. Tss"

"Ano ba yan! Akala ko pa naman, close na kami"

"What?" I asked her. Hindi ko narinig. Ang hina naman kasi ng boses.

"Wala!" Sabi niya sabay irap. Now what's ger problem? Moody. Tss.

"Miss Mendoza! Please tone down your voice. Wanna go out?" Mrs. Mercado exclaimed. Mendoza just made faces, as usual.

Then the professor looked straight to me.

"Take some action, Mr. Faulkerson" She glared at me.

Tss. Maybe she knew already about me teaching Mendoza some manners that a normal student should possess. Ang bilis naman kumalat ng balita.

Now I'm the one who looks bad here. Thanks to Mendoza. Tss.

I threw her my death glare but she just ignored it and even raised her legs to the chair.

Oh Christ! Why did you gave me an insane, annoying, irritating, loud, noisy, and not-so-mannered creature?

Nicomaine's Point of View

Matapos akong sermunan ng magaling naming prof ay tahimik lang ako, which is really weird.

Usually kasi, ako ang, let's say, pinakamaingay, pinakamagulo, at pinakamadaldal sa lahat.

Okay, aaminin ko. Nag-expect kasi ako na (at least) tinuturing niya na akong friend since nag-open up siya sa'kin ng problems niya kagabi. Tch.

Anyway, na-realize ko na napaka-assumera ko. Nag-share lang ng problem, friends na? Ano 'to? Instant ang life?

"Maine..."

Nanlaki ang mata ko nung nag-play sa utak ko yung sinabi ni Richard kagabi.

Myghad. What's happening to me?
