The Last Pure Soul (ON HOLD)

2. Meeting Mr. Trouble

Everyone's still talking about the three new students and how hot the three of them look like as Gabe, Bella and I walked down the hallway.

"Seriously? I think Im going to puke kapag nakarinig pa ako ng isang pagpupuri sa mga new students. Im so sick of hearing their names." Pagrereklamo ko habang naglalakad kami papunta sa locker namin. The three of us got lucky this school year since magkakatabi yung locker na na-assign samin.

Bella sighed as she put the combination on her locker. "Well, dapat mo na sigurong ihanda yung tenga mo dahil sa tingin ko we'll be hearing their names alot this year. Since they're most likely to join the group of popular kids any time soon."

I rolled my eyes. Great. Another addition to the popular group, more people for the whole school to worship. More people for me to loathe. Don't get me wrong, di naman sa bitter ako. Pero I just hate the fact that popular kids use their popularity to take advantage on the regular students dahil alam nilang hindi ito makakatanggi. For example, the incident last week noong puno yung cafeteria. Ashton Perez and his clique asked a regular student if she can give up her seat for them, although he asked nicely he knew that the girl wouldnt say no cause she basically worship them.. or him. Kaya naman that poor girl gave up her seat and finished her lunch standing up. Asan naman ang hustisya dun? I know na walang bully sa school namin and all of the students ay malayang gawin ang kung ano ang gusto nila but that doesnt mean that the Popular kids dont know how to use their status to their advantage.

"I think Im starting to love them. Look at how they're making you look so grumpy. It so fun to look at. You look like one of snow white's seven dwarves." Pangaasar ni Gabe sakin while he shut his locker close. Good thing Gabe started to act like himself after naming kumain kanina. Siguro ay dala lang ng gutom kung bakit wala siya sa sarili niya kanina kaya ngayon ay nagbibiro na itong muli.

Bella snorted. "Masyado ka namang harsh. I thought you're going to say she looked like one of cinderella's step sister." Tumawa naman silang dalawa saka nag high five. Piningot ko naman yung tenga ni Bella.

"Eh mas harsh pa yung sinabi mo kaysa sa sinabi niya eh." I said as I get my Calculus book sa aking locker.

Both of them laughed once more. "Come on. Were just trying to lighten up your mood. Masyado ka nastrestress sa mga bagong student eh." Sabi ni Bella sabay sukbit ng braso niya sa aking braso.

"Kaya nga. Dont stress yourself too much. I might think na may crush ka sa isa sa kanila if you keep thinking about them." Gabe teased me habang nakasandal sa locker niya.

Agad namang umasim ang mukha ko. I acted na parang nasusuka ako to show my dismay sa sinabi ni Gabe. Ew. Just ew. Ano ba ang sinasabi nito ni Gabe?

I rolled my eyes. "Excuse me but for your information I don't fall for those type."

The three of us parted ways when the bell rang since we dont have the third and fourth subject together. Luckily for me kaklase ko si Ethan sa fourth subject which is Spanish.

Halos lawit na ang dila ko nang makarating ako sa classroom. Pano, sa fourth floor pa ito. Buti sana kung may elevator yung school namin pero wala kaya halos mahimatay na ako sa hingal ng takbuhin ko simula first floor hanggang dito.

Napakagat ako sa aking labi nang makita na nasa loob na ng aming classroom si Mr. Hawkins. Our bald Calculus teacher. May pagkaterror pa naman ito. Hay. Ano nanaman kaya ang ipapalusot ko dito? Lagi kasi akong nalalate sa klaseng to. Bakit ba kasi nakakalimutan ko laging pumunta ng classroom ng mas maaga pagtapos ng vacant eh.

I cleared my throat as I knocked on the classroom door. Bukas ito, kaya napatingin sa akin ang lahat including Mr. Hawkins.

"I'm sorry I'm late Sir."
