"Good Morning Ma'am. I'll take the special exams po." I entered the faculty room and went straight to our adviser's table.

"Here's the first one. You can take the vacant seats there pero not the one beside Eunha." Napatingin ako sa mga seats na tinuro ni Ma'am.

"She's also taking special exams?" Tanong ko.

"She's been absent for a week because of personal reasons na valid naman for her to be able to take special exams." I looked back to where Eunha is seated.

She's been absent for a week pero she was still able to give me notes. Anong nangyari?

I quietly sat on the chair a seat away from her pero mukhang hindi nya naramdaman ang presensya ko. I started answering the exam pero I still took glances from time to time at mukhang hindi nya talaga napapansin. Nagsagot na lang ako ng exams. Didn't bother on trying to get her attention.

Ilang beses kaming nagpabalik-balik to take exams from different subjects. And the whole time, sobrang tahimik nya—which is never normal for Eunha. She is never quiet.

Almost lunch time at nauna siyang matapos sa pagsasagot. Bago pa siya makalabas ay nagpasa na rin ako ng test paper para makahabol.

"Hey." I called as we leave the room.

"Uy Mark, ikaw pala." She was kinda surprised. Ako din.

"We were together the whole time. It seems like you didn't notice." Sabi ko at sinabayan siyang maglakad.

"Ah, nakafocus lang ako sa exams eh. May sasabihin ka ba?" She asked. Hindi man lang niya ako tiningnan at dire-diretso lang siyang naglakad. Something seems wrong. I haven't seen her like this. Well, lagi naman akong wala. But this is still unusual.

"One week ka daw wala," sabi ko. Hindi niya yata ako narinig. O hindi niya ako sinagot?

"Mark can you please..." Humarap siya sa 'kin at pumikit ng mariin. I don't think she's okay. "...please leave me alone."

Napatigil ako sa sinabi niya. I'm not really friends with anyone maliban sa mga kasama ko sa dance club. But it doesn't mean na dahil hindi ako palakaibigan, sanay akong hindian ng tao. This is the first time.

Someone really asked me to leave her alone. She must have so many things in mind.
