Stella Angelica's POV

I rushed all the way to my classroom with my heart pounding.

I felt mixed emotions right this time wherein I don't know if I'd be happy, hurt, glad, sad...

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh >.<

What is happening to me?!

One thing's for sure!

I'm

NOT

LOVING

THIS FEELING!

****Flashback****

"It's also my pressure to meet you...Stella Angelica Carlyle"

What?!

I don't know whom to address that question!

It's either to mr. winker, AKA Adrian, or to the couple behind him who are laughing and doing sweet moments as if they are in their own worlds.

Duh! -___-

The hell I care with those two!

I tried not to look at them but it's too late coz he, I mean, they are now approaching my direction.

What to do? What am I going to do? I guess...uh...I need to...

to

back off!

yet there's something wrong with my feet! It can barely move from where I'm standing TT___TT

huhuhuhu

"He-he-llo Anj...Long time no see..Anj..Anj...H-H-How are you?"

Huh?!

Is he kidding me or something?

I mean, asking me how am I? As if nothing happened.

Of course I'm...

I'm...

Crap!

What is happening to me?

How come I can't answer them :'(

"Ah..Excuse me...Do I know you?"

Their expressions were in a state of shock.

"Anj---"

"Sorry. I don't talk to strangers! If you don't mind, I need to go coz I'll be late for my next class"

I hurriedly run as fast as I can just to be away from them.

****flashback ends****

I'm trying to manage myself to control my tears from falling down my eyes.

As much as possible, I don't want others to see crying, especially about, nevermind, 'coz for me, it seems like I look weak in the eyes of others but, of course, I don't want that to happen. I really don't know what's happening around me right now.

All I know is that:

Someone hands me a handkerchief.

>_>??? _(^_^)

For what?

What am I supposed to do with that handkerchief? I mean—

"Here take this. I think you need this."

"Excuse me but—"

Before I could continue what I am about to say, he sat down leveling me and slowly wiped the... tears?

from my eyes?

"I guess you're really hard headed missTery. So, I need to this for you"

Psh.

MissTery?

When will he stop naming me when in fact he already knows my name? In the first place, he—wa-wait?! What is really happening to me? I need to stop him before he could see my other side.

"Excuse me mister but I think I don't need your handkerchief. Keep it to yourself. Also, please stop following me."

"Wh-what? Following you? Huh! You must be kidding me missTery, aren't you? ha-ha-ha..."

He laughed sarcastically which made me feel agitated. Haven't I told you that I don't like it when others are laughing at me while I'm dead serious?

Now you know!

"I DON'T CARE WITH WHAT YOU'RE TRYING TO IMPLY MR WHOEVER YOU ARE BUT ONE THING'S FOR SURE: DON'T YOU DARE MESS UP WITH ME IF YOU DON'T WANT TO SEE ST. PETER UNEXPECTEDLY!"

"whoaah! CHILL missT—I mean, Ms. Carlyle. Remember we're still in the classroom and—"

"Excuse me Mr. Fiel and Ms Carlyle, I want both of you to get out of this classroom. I'm having my class here but I don't want anyone to disturb my class right now. I suggest, you better continue your argument outside so that you won't disturb my class anymore. Just in case you don't know, you're already---"

"Sorry miss...I'm just not feeling well today. But, would you mind if I go to the clinic?"

"Oh sure. Mr. Fiel, accompany her to the clinic."

"No need ms. I can manage myself."

"No ifs or buts ms Carlyle. I think both of you need to talk even if I don't know what's going on."

I got no other choice. Instead of arguing, which makes me sick & tired of being embarrassed, I just took my things and hurriedly went outside.

He surely won't stop following me?

"Ahm...mr Fiel? No need for you to follow me. I can manage myself. Just go back to the classroom. Also, sorry for how I acted a while ago. It's just that I'm not really feeling well today. I mean, you can go back now. I'll be okay being alone for now."

"Sorry but I won't, missTery. I just think...You might need someone to talk. I can be your instant friend for today. Just in case you need one."

I looked at him and I can see the sincerity in his face. Do I really need someone to talk to? I mean, it's been quite a long time since I talked to others about my problem.

"Ahm...You sure want to—"

"Yeah, I volunteered right? Don't worry, I know how to keep secrets, if that's what you're concerned about. Also, part of the package is that I can be your human handkerchief. He-he-he. Well, just in case you need one. You know---"

"Whatever! I'll go to the comfort room first and we'll just see each other in the place where we stayed earlier during our break"

"Ai! Ai! Captain"

"Childish, huh?!"

He just chuckled. I turned my back away from him and headed to the nearest Cr. While I was on my way, I can't help but smile with the way he did the salute gesture to me. Despite what happened, he never fails to amuse me and make me smile. As soon as I reached the CR, I looked at myself in the mirror and talked to myself like: "What is happening to me? "

"Why am I going back to my old self?"

"Is it because of the two of them? I don't care about them!"

"Am I really ready to trust again?"

Aisshhh...I'll go out and tell him that I need to go home and I won't be able to talk to him. Yeah. That's what I'm gonna do. I can't afford to trust others...AGAIN!

I went out of the CR and headed to the garden but destiny seems to play with me.

"Can we talk?"
