"Are we all clear?"
"Yes ma'am," sabay-sabay naming sagot magkakaklase.
Katatapos palang ng klase namin sa first period pero mukha nang mga lantang gulay kung titignan yung mga kaklase ko. General Mathematics kasi first subject eh.
However, it's been a week since Brylle asked me out to be his friend and honestly, rejecting him was kinda the best choice. Hindi na niya ako muling pinansin pa pagkatapos nun at mukhang nagustuhan iyon nina Annie. Hindi na nila ako masyadong binu-bully.
After that night din, I replied to Denver's text message and he said that he was jealous with Brylle hanging around with me comfortably while him, my bestfriend since we were little, acts stiff whenever I'm with him.
Akala ko pa naman nagseselos siya kasi gusto niya ako, friendly type of jealousy lang pala iyon.
"Chua," agad na napako kay Ynna yung atensyon ko nang tawagin niya ako mula sa kaniyang upuan.
"Bakit?" I asked her with a hint of bewilderment.
It's been a week na rin pala magmula noong naging magkaklase kami. Matalino siya kung tutuusin kaya hindi na ako ngayon nagtataka kung bakit nasa star section siya sa kabila ng pagiging transferee niya.
"You're friends with my ex-boyfriend, right? Help me," she said. I gave her a confused yet amazed look. Hindi kami close, bakit niya ako kinakausap? Bakit siya sa akin nagpapatulong?
"I want him back," dagdag pa niya. Nagkibit-balikat nalang ako sa kaniya at ibinalik ang atensyon sa harap ng klase.
If she wants him back, why bother leaving him in the first place? Also, we're not friends to begin with kaya bakit ko siya tutulungan?
Hindi kami naging magkaibigan. Everyone adores her except for us— me and my friends. Na-kuwento kasi ni Sam sa amin ni Hannah kung bakit sila naghiwalay. Long story short, she used and manipulated him.
Hindi halata kay Ynna 'yung ganoong ugali. She looks sweet and innocent. I don't like her but I don't judge her either. Hindi ko pa naririnig yung side ng story niya.
At wala rin akong balak pang alamin din iyon.
Pagkalipas ng ilang oras, uwian na namin. I was about to pack my things when our homeroom adviser went inside our room and announced something.
"
Class, our school was chosen yesterday to be this year's History Fair representative for the whole region. Since you guys are from the star section ng strand niyo, required kayong sumama sa educational tour na gagawin," ani ma'am. Halo-halong reaksyon naman 'yung binigay ng mga kaklase ko.
May mga natutuwa, may mga hindi maipinta ang mukha.
"Ma'am, kailan po yan?" Asked by one of our classmates.
"Sa Saturday na. Today is Thursday, right? You still have one whole day tomorrow to pack all your things for the trip. Libre lahat, pati pagkain pero mas mabuti nang magbaon pa rin kayo. I'll leave more information to your class president. Allyza, ikaw nalang mag-post sa class stream niyo mamaya," she said and then dismissed us.
Lumapit agad sa akin si Brent samantalang si Allyza, sumama kay ma'am para siguro pag-usapan yung tungkol sa fieldtrip na gagawin.
"Saan ba ako sasama? Sa inyo nina Keith o kina Brylle?" Tanong sa akin ni Brent at tinulungan akong magbuhat ng mga libro ko.
