Krishna, Why Aren't You Dead Yet?

First Chapter: Nobody Noticed Because They We're Too Busy

Kakatapos lang ng midterm ng first semester pero ako first day of school pa lang. For some certain reasons, lumipat ako ng school. Not because I want to but because of we just moved.

I am here at the faculty office. Sila lectures na, ako orientation pa lang. Anyway, some of the teachers, mostly women, are snickering at the side. What's with them?!

“You’re Year 1 Class D, Room 105.” sabi nong prof na nag-o-orient sa akin.

“Okay, ma'am.” matipid na sagot ko.

“We have Do’s and Dont’s inside the school grounds.” she give me a copy of the rules and regulations, “Don't ever disobey those rules.” she added.

I took the copy of the rules and regulations. Napatingin naman ako doon sa papel na hawak ko at binasa ko ito. Well, wala namang bago. Lahat naman ng rules and regulations ng school halos magkakapareho.

“And oh, by the way, don't be associated with Krishna Luciano. Okay? She's a bad influence to all students.” sabi niya.

“Is she in my class?” tanong ko. Sana naman hindi ko siya classmate.

“Yes.” she simply said.

I sighed. Well, since there's no other choice, I just have to accept it. It's way better if you accept things even if you don't want to than mope around and do nothing.

Anyway, I hurriedly went to my designated room. Class already started ages ago and I'm late because of that orientation.
  
  
  
  
   
Nang makita ko na ang room 105, sumilip ako sa maliit na bintana sa may pinto. Napansin naman ako agad ng Prof saka binuksan yung pintuan.

“Bakit? May kailangan ka ba?” tanong niya.

“I’m the new student.” sabi ko.

“Ah! Orion Deiza? Come in and introduce yourself.” sabi niya.

Naglakad ako papasok papunta sa gitna, sa may harapan at humarap na ako sa buong klase. Darn. I hate self introductions.

“Cutie!”
“Omg. Na-LAFS ata ako!”
“My god. Ang swerte naman ng section natin!”

You can hear a buzzing sound inside the room. Not because there’s a beehive inside the room or something. But because my soon-to-be classmates started whispering, creating those buzz sounds. Some of them are snickering. Mostly girls. What’s with them?!

“Class, this is your new classmate. The one I was talking about earlier.” he tapped my shoulders, “Go on. Introduce yourself.”

“Orion Deiza. Nice to meet you.” sabi ko.

“That’s all?” tanong ni sir.

“Yes, sir.” sagot ko naman. Bakit? May iba pa ba akong kailangang sabihin? Tsk.

“Okay. Anyway, you can seat... Hmm...” naghanap siya ng bakanteng upuan, “Wala na palang bakanteng upuan.” sabi niya.

Napatingin ako sa paligid. What is he talking about?! May dalawa pang bakanteng upuan sa likod. Yung isa malapit sa bintana.

“I can seat there.” sabi ko sabay turo don sa bakanteng upuan sa likod.

“Are you sure?” tanong niya.

I nodded, “Of course.”

Naglalakad na ako papunta sa upuan nang mapansin na nagbubulungan na naman yung mga kaklase ko. Especially girls. Binibigyan din nila ako ng isang wirdong tingin. I just shrugged it off and continue walking.
