Okay.
Sa dinami-dami ng pwedeng matirang vacant seat, bakit sa tabi pa ni Mr. Sungit? Hoy mga fans bakit hindi niyo tabihan tong idolo niyo?!
Actually, andito pa ako sa may pintuan at naghahanap ng extra chair na vacant. Ayoko kayang makatabi yun, as in ayoko.
"Yey! Si Jessie oh! Classmates ulit tayo." sabi ni Carla, classmate ko din nung first sem and we're kinda close, along with Belle and Kyla.
"Hi Carla, Belle, hi Kyla." sabi ko with a smile. Namiss ko tong mga to kahit two weeks lang kaming hindi nagkita.
"We missed you. Ikaw naman di ka man lang sumama ni minsan sa mga getaway namin!" sabi ni Belle. Mahilig gumala tong mga to eh. Mga rich kids kasi mga to, along with the other kids. Ako naman, pinag-aaral ako ng mga magulang ni Kevin out of good will. Valedictorian kasi ako nung high school.
"Hehe. Alam niyo namang hindi ako rich kid eh. I missed you too guys." i hugged them one by one. Alam nilang hindi ako mayaman but they dont know that my dad works at Kevin's. I dont elaborate on that and they understood naman.
Hindi naman kasi bully ang mga students dito. Meron ding iilan pero hindi naman kasi status-conscious ang mga students.
"We'll treat you sana eh. Well, marami pang next time. Let's enjoy this sem together ha!" masayang sabi ni Kyla
"Heya Jessie, sorry di ka namin na-reserve ng seat ha, di namin alam na magkaklase tayo ulit eh. Hihi." cute na sabi ni Carla. Ang cute talaga nito. Siya yung pinaka-jolly sa grupo.
"It's okay. Hehe. It's not your fault for me being late." I said while looking for a seat.
"Classmate natin si Kevin!" pabulong na sabi ni Kyla.
"May nakaupo na ba sa tabi niya?" I absent-mindedly asked them.
"Dont sit there!" mahinang sigaw ni Belle
"Why?" I inquired. Bakit nga ba? Reserved na ba yung seat na yun?
"I dont know too but Kevin said it is reserved." said Carla. Oh. Must be for his girlfriend. Kung meron. Haha. Baka imaginary. Oh, I'm so mean.
Napatingin ako kay Kevin and I was shocked because he's looking straight at me. Why?!
Napatingin din tuloy ako in confusion, baka kasi mali lang ako ng pagkakakita. But then, he pointed at me, (I looked at my back to be sure but no one's there) then to the chair beside him. It's then that Carla pushed me, mahina lang naman.
"He's calling you, Jessie!" kinikilig na bulong sa akin ni Carla
I walked towards him at kinakabahan ako. Bakit ako kinakabahan? Maybe because people are looking at us and it's irritating. Ughh!
"Bakit?" medyo masungit kong tanong. Lumelevel lang ako sa kasungitan niya. Ay. Hindi pa yan, below his level pa lang yan.
"Sit here, wala nang vacant seats." he said coldly. Dont tell me he reserved this seat for me? No way! Hindi naman niya alam na we're classmates. Okay. There must be a good reason.
Umupo na ako at sakto dumating yung prof and everyone sitted properly. She introduced herself then started giving her rules. I listened very intently because I no longer want to become a Dean's Lister. Well, I want to be a President's Lister.
"Hey." someone said. It's Kevin, talking!
"Dont bother me, I'm listening." I said
"What did you say to your friend a while ago?" he inquired. Oh. He must have known Jona seen us.
"As you ordered, I gave her a good reason." I said franctically.
"And what good reason is it?"
"Do I need to tell you?"
"Of course! You need to tell me!" he said a little louder. I think everybody heard him scream a little. Oh boy.
"Care to share what your lovers' quarrel all about?" said the Prof in a very scary way. I didnt dream of being reprimanded, first thing in the first meeting.
"Sorry Ma'am." I said to make her stop oggling at us.
"Nothing Ma'am." Kevin said, feeling embarassed or I dont know. And I dont care either.
"Well. Have you been listening to me since I stepped into your room?"
"Yes ma'am." I said but Kevin didnt respond.
"So, Mister?"
"Reyes po."
"Mister Reyes, what was the last word I said?" oh I hate teachers asking that 'last word I said'. Gives me creeps.
"Said." said Kevin. Oh no! Anong sabi niya? Not because he's a PL doesnt mean he has the right to talk back at professors. Tsk, tsk. I smell trouble.
"Very good. I hope you listen because you two will be the first reporters and that is due next meeting. Distribute the syllabus." she said sternly.
I saw our syllabus and our report is not that hard of a topic. I've read about those during the break.
"You better prepare well because I dont give anything aside from 1 or 5. Class dismissed." she said then walked out.
I looked at Kevin and at his pokerface. Tss. This guy never smile.
"Hey you should do more because this is entirely your fault." I said to him. Totoo naman kasi eh. If he didnt bother me while I was listening, this would never happen.
"Fine. Then I get the 1 and you get the 5." he said.
"What?! No way in hell I will allow that!"
"Well you bargained."
"Fine, we'll do it together." I said then he smiled. What?! Smile? Well, it was more of a smirk than a smile but heavens! That was the first time he exercised his face muscles! Dear!
"W-why a-re y-you smirking?!" I said high pitched. And why are you stuttering, Jessie?! I said to myself.
"No reason." he said, he then opened a book at started reading. Tss. This guy looks so damn good. Why haven't I noticed that?
Nakakatawa no. Everyone's saying he's so good looking but ngayon ko lang na-realize. But I dont care. Masyado siyang masungit. Tss.
Another prof entered our room. Okay, this is college but still, it's the professors that go to rooms. I like it this way though some prefer that students will go to rooms. Ayoko nun no, nakakapagod kaya.
"Good morning class." said the oh-so-good-looking-professor. Shocks! Gaganahan talaga akong pumasok kung ganito kagwapo ang professor mo.
"Good morning sir!" said the girls joyfully. Mukhang bata pa si sir. Haha. Pwede. Joke!
Ouch.
Actually hindi masakit. Nagulat ako. Somebody kicked my chair! Then I looked at my prime suspect though I dont have any good reason for him to do it. It cant be accidental for he is at my side. But when I looked at him, his brows are creased, and he is scribbling on his notes like crazy.
Problem nun? He's irritated. Oh oh. Why oh why?
