PUBLISHED : SEPTEMBER 2016Hyacinth's POV
"Ms. Montevilla, Are you with us?" I licked my lip and bit my lower lip.
'Oh god.'
"Yes of course, Ma'am." I answered.
"Stop that." She added.
'The what?'
"Pardon?" I asked innocently.
"Stop tapping your pen." She said. I stopped and looked at her.
'She's damn serious.'
"What?" She asked when she realized I was looking at her.
"Did you just--"
'What the hell?'
I stopped talking when someone knocked. Ms. Ladevine ignored me and headed towards the door to open it. She opened the door and there I could see a human, a man.
'Oh..'
"Oh! Ikaw ba si Pierce Leovantes?" Ms. Ladevine asked, referring to the boy infront of her.
"Yeah." The boy answered, with a blank and emotionless face.
"Good! Pasok!" Ms. Ladevine gladly exclaimed. The boy headed inside the room and looked for a vacant seat. I looked beside me and there I could see a vacant seat. I looked around the room and realized it was the only vacant seat, which is beside me. Bahagya naman akong ngumiti nang magtama ang paningin namin at siya din naman.
'Oh god no.'
"Mr. Leovantes, Maupo ka sa tabi ni Ms. Montevilla. Hyacinth, please raise your hand." Ms. Ladevine commanded. I raised my hand and I caught the boy's attention. He headed towards the seat beside me and sat there.
'Bakit dito pa?'
"Okay class. Mr. Pierce Fade Leovantes is your new classmate, he's from Fradavice University and he transferred here." Ms. Ladevine introduced. I licked and bit my lip.
'Hindi ba marunong magsalita ang lalaking ito at kailangang si Ms. Ladevine pa ang magpakilala sakanya? Ha!'
"Hi, Pierce!" Nileiy greeted him. Our Class President.
'Ang landi mong hinayupak ka! Lahat nalang nilalandi mo jusko.'
"Oh before that. Pierce, you should know who the Class Officers are. Class Officers, please stand up and tell him what's your position." Ms. Ladevine commanded, again.
'Ang daming arte tsk.'
Tumayo ako at humarap kay Pierce.
"I'm Nileiy Lamgordo, Class President." The Nileiy bitch introduced, smiling.
'Kala mo talaga maganda siya.. tsk tsk.'
"Hyacinth Lauren Montevilla, Class Vice President."
'It's true, mates! I'm VP Montevilla. Huehuehue.'
"Severene Claudet Radeva, Class Secretary."
'My bestie. Hihihi.'
"Hedieva Varen Vincorde, Class Auditor."
'Another bestie.'
"Stop. I don't need to know who they are." The Pierce boy said.
"H-Huh?" Ms. Ladevine asked as if she was so clueless.
"I sai--"
"Okay okay! Sit down now, officers." Ms. Ladevine commanded and I irritatedly obeyed her.
Ms. Ladevine started the teaching infront while I was just listening and tapping my ballpen.
"Hey." Someone called. I looked beside me to figure out who the hell it was and there I saw Pierce looking at me. I immediately moved my sight to my desk and continued tapping my ballpen.
"What?" I suddenly asked.
"Could you stop that?" He answered.
'Ano na naman arte nito? Tch!'
"And why would I do that?" I asked him, licking my lips.
"You're so noisy." He complained.
'Wow! Ako pa noisy! Yung ballpen ko kaya yun!'
"Hindi ako 'yon." I answered. He furrowed his eyebrows as if he was really irritated.
"Then who is it?" He asked, furiously. I bit my lip.
"My ballpen." I answered, licking my lips again.
"Why do you keep on licking and biting your lips?" He suddenly asked out of the blue.
'Ang layo ng tanong niya sa problema niya sakin ha!'
"It's none of your business." I answered.
"I just want to know." He exclaimed, pouting.
'Why does he have to pout?'
"Mannerism, I can't help it." I answered.
'Totoo naman, hindi ko maiwasang hindi dilaan at kagatin ang sarili kong labi. Parati nalang akong ganun.'
"Is that so?" He exclaimed.
"Excuse me. Pierce Fade, Mamaya mo na ligawan si Hyacinth Lauren. Alam nating lahat na maganda siya at nasa kanya na ang lahat pero--"
"Shut up, Ladevine." I said to her.
'I know right!'
"Hyacinth, I am your teacher and I'm older than you. You should respect me." She said.
'Ladevine Grace Montevilla. My older sister. I don't know how, why, when she became a teacher here in Cavariea. Bigla nalang dumating ang araw na pumasok siya sa classroom namin at sinabing siya ang teacher namin. I know right.'
"You're still my sis." I said and she furrowed her eyebrows as if she was so mad when I mentioned that.
"Ms. Ladevine and you, Are sisters?!" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ng binatang nasa tabi ko.
'Iba talaga kapag ignorante at BINGI.'
