EUNICE

It was Tuesday, heck, I need to cope up with my lessons. Because of the tiring week I had last week, I came late for school. Nung nag-aya na ako para umuwi, saka naman nagmakaawa sa harap ko yung apat na manatili pa ng dalawang araw, nagkaroon pa tuloy kaming lahat ng absent sa school. Hindi naman sana talaga ako papayag kung hindi lang nagmakaawa yung tatlo at kung hindi nagsabi si Jarvis ng please. Knowing him, it surely took all the courage and swallow all the pride he has just to say that. So I guess I need to give him the credit for doing that.

Pagtapak na pagtapak ko pa lang sa school, nakarinig na ako kaagad ng mga bulung-bulungan. I surely miss school but this one is not included. Kahit saan ba talaga ako magpunta ay may makakapansin ng magandang mukha ko?

"Hey, good to see you back." Someone said behind my back and tapped my shoulders. I looked at him, only to see Harvey smiling.

"Yeah, you too." I answered but didn't smile back. I'm still tired. Gabing-gabi na kami nakauwi kagabi. Pero kahit pauwi na kami, sandamukal na energy drink ata ang ininom ni Flip, Kristoph at David dahil hindi pa din sila tumigil sa pagdaldal. Mabuti nalang at pinainom ko ulit sila nung juice na may pampatulog kaya kahit paano ay natahimik ang mga bibig nila.

"I miss you." He seriously said.

"Well, I miss myself too." That's the time when I smiled but not a genuine smile, a playful mocking smile.

"Still the over confident Isabelle I know." He whispers.

"You're late for class." I told him.

"Nagsalita ang hindi late. Nah, I came here before seven." He said then gave me a bored look.

"Then why the hell are you still here with me walking like we still have lots of time to chitchat?" I asked with an irritating tone.

"I guess that you'd be coming back today and I think my instinct was right." He answered while smiling like an idiot and wiggling his eyebrows.

I didn't gave a reply to his answer and just hurriedly walk towards the room instead. For Pete's sake we're thirty minutes late but he seems that he doesn't give a shit about it.

After a few minutes, we finally made it to our room. Our teacher's inside already. He looked at us and gave us a malicious look, even our classmates.

"Why are you thirty minutes late?" he asked.

"I'm sorry sir but my car broke down and I have to wait for a taxi." I lied.

"Then how about you Mr.Yu?" he asked and turned his head to Harvey.

"There was an accident near by our house, I had to help the injured child and take him to the hospital." Harvey lied. What a freaking liar.

"I see. You may now take your seats." The professor ordered. I went to my seat. I saw Natalie sleeping, I looked around to look for Enzo and the others and I also saw their sleepy eyes looking at me. I can't help but smile as I rolled my eyes. The teacher continued his lesson while me, I just slept for the whole period.

"Bhestie, gising na, lunch break na." someone said while poking my cheeks. I opened my eyes.

"What time is it?" I asked.

"Lunch break na. Hindi ka ba kakain? Nagskip na tayo kaninang break time eh."

"Oh? Okay, let's go to the canteen."
