Author's Note: I had to revised and update many parts and also included some additional scenarios.

<REYNA>

"Make sure you will listen class. Like what I have told you yesterday, I will be telling an old story from Mr. Pachengco's collection. Our former book keeper and the donator of this book." Our prof started, and for all I know, I won't be listening the whole time.

I don't bother listening to old stories. It bore the hell out of me. Bakit pa ba kailangang pag-aralan ang mga 'to? Like seriously? It has no benefit or whatsoever on my course.

Just a waste of time, tch.

"The title of the book is, The Legend of the Lost Princess."

My head fell on the table as the reading started. And since bawal ang phone, I had no choice but to listen. For grades. Hayts!

"From a far far away place,

In the city of Death and Ressurection,

There was a place that they called--

'The land of Three Marks.

The mark of Rival Region. From where the celestials live.

The mark of Red Valley, From where the Duke and Duchess Live

And the mark of the ruined palace of slaughterers, that is now a place of the whirlwind goddess.

'Goddess Thora."

Okay, not bad. Good start.

"Thora is a Demi God who was perished from the swirling capital of East Antlantis and crowned as the Queen of Criminals. She controls the three marks and because she's powerful? She can do everything with her knights. They serve to her as an armor and she has the ability to destroy anything if she wanted to"

Ughh, typical plot with a bland storyline.

I take a slip, simply yawned and rolled my eyes. Just a typical girl who has a prejudice in literary Studies. Anything related to Literary stuffs are far off my reach. I can listen yes, but that's it, period.

Nagpatuloy ako sa pakikinig habang nakatanaw sa bintana.

I have a short attention span. Nagpakawala ako ng ngisi sabay singhal habang pinapanood ang mga estudyante sa field. Buti pa yung iba, pa-PE PE lang. So unfair! Nasan kaya yun?! As far as I recall, PE din nila tuwing Miyerkules.

"No one doubts her. 'Cause whoever dared,
It will face death."

The professor continued and he gets my attention again. But if he'd ask me for feedback, all I can say is I wanna see my crush right now.

Like, magkakasalubungan kami sa hallway tapos mahuhulog ko yung panty ko dahil sa kilig, wait, libro. Mahuhulog ko yung libro dahil sa pagmamadali kaya pupulutin yun ni crush habang tumatagaktak ang pawis niya dahil kakatapos lang ng PE at sobrang tirik ng araw, sabay sabing, 'here, let me help you. Holysh!t!

Tapos maglilipbite siya, magkakatitigan ulit kaming dalawa, dahan dahan kong aabutin yung libro at magtatama yung mga kamay namin, tapos maglalapit yung mga mukha namin sabay make-out ng malala, kinabukasan kami na. Hayst! Ang landi!

Unconsciously, I stomped my feet hard on the floor while imagining.

"Ahem!" Dinig kong patutsada ni prof kaya biglang nandilim ang paligid ko sabay tuwid ng upo at napalunok. Tsaka ko lang na-realize na iba pala yung napansin niyang hindi nakikinig. Aish, napaka-panira!
