First Love of A Royal Prince (Wattys 2018)

Untitled Part 32

"Pst."

"..."

"Pst!"

"..."

"Pst! Pst!"

"What the hell do you want?" I yelled at my classmate who kept on calling and poking me.

"MISS VINCENT! Ang lakas ng loob mong mag-mura sa klase ko!"

Nanlaki ang mga mata ko sa sigaw ni Miss Panchili. Tulala kasi ako sa klase niya. Napayuko naman lahat ng mga kaklase ko.

"Sorry po, Miss." Nakayukong sabi ko. Napatingin ako sa kaklase kong tumatawag sa akin kanina.

"Sorry, kanina pa kasi nakatingin sa iyo si Miss. Tinatawag na kita pero parang wala ka sa sarili mo." Mahinang bulong nito sa akin. Tumango na lang ako sa kanya.

"Get out! Hindi ko kailangan ng estudyanteng walang balak makinig sa akin. At mas lalong hindi ko kailangan ng estudyanteng wala sa sarili!" Sigaw niya sa akin.

Nanatiling nakayuko ang mga kaklase ko. I bit my lip because of humiliation. This is damn embarrassing!!!

"B-But M-Ma'am-"

"Hindi ko kailangan ng rason, Miss Vincent. Out! Bago ako magsumbong sa adviser niyo at ma-detention ka!"

"Yes, Ma'am."

Hinagilap ko ang bag sa silya. Accidentally, I looked at Matthew who is also looking at me with concern written all over his face. Tinanguhan ko lang ito at naglakad na palabas ng room.

"That terror teacher..." I murmured to myself. Mukhang magse-self study pa ata ako ah. Malamang yan ay pagiinitan ako sa susunod.

"Oh sorry-Arrissa?" Napatingin ako sa babaeng nakabungo ko.

"Miss Calug!" Bati ko kay Miss.

"What are you doing here outside? Don't you have a class?"

"Uhmm..."

"Don't tell me you're gonna cut your class?"

"No, Miss! Uhh... Pinalabas po kasi ako ni Miss Panchili."

"Ohhh... Poor girl, do you have your next class or vacant niyo na?"

"Wala po, Miss. Break na po namin."

"Good! Want to come with me? Let's eat lunch together."

"Uhh... Wag na po, Miss. Nakakahiya." I smiled at her.

She waved her hand dismissively. "Tsk. No need to be shy. Its my way to say thank you for helping me."

"Po? I didn't do anything po, Miss."

"Remember the day we tried to run away from Hendrix? Right? You even treated my son a lunch." She grabbed my hand.

"Ahh... That's nothing, Miss. I just want to help."

"But I want to treat you!" Pangungulit nito sa akin. "You can't say no!"

Napatawa ako ng mahina sa kakulitan ni Miss Calug.

"Okay, Miss." I finally agreed.

"Great! Pero pasama na muna ako sa faculty. I need to drop my things there."

"Sure, Miss." Napatango ako at sumunod sa kanya.

"My goodness! You scared me to death! What are you doing here?"

Napasigaw si Miss dahil gulat. Nadatnan kasi namin si Sir Hendrix na naka-upo sa swivel chair, nakaharap pa ito sa amin.

"Likarella, I've been waiting for you, for hours! I never thought that you are teaching all of the students here in Winsley."
