Ken (POV)

I was reading some notes on my binder when I felt someone sit on the chair along with mine. Hindi ko ito pinansin, thinking it was some of the students na paulit ulit na pinag uusapan ang nangyari sa Cafeteria nung nakaraan kaya dineadma ko lang ito. 

I don't know how news can spread that fast. Yung parang ngayon lang nangyari, maya maya lang alam na ng buong school. The difference of this one, hanggang ngayon pinaguusapan parin nila. 

'Why can't they just get a life!?' iritableng tanong ko.

 I check my watch and figured that there's 20 minutes more before the class starts. Nilabas ko na lang ang Ipad ko at nagpatugtog habang nag tsi check ng emails. 

Vlad, Brad and I decided to take a break on hanging out for a while. After all that's happening, napag desisyunan namin na alamin muna kung ano ba talaga ang nangyayari. It's getting bad from how it looks. I made my own investigation about a certain girl na nasa gitna ng lahat ng ito. And I got nothing. 

Wala siyang pamilya dito as per my private investigator. Wala siyang records for any assaults or any sort. She's clean. She was born here and graduated with honors for two degree's and this happens to be her third. Her address that was indicated on her passport was abroad. But she's currently residing two blocks away from school. Which I know. I did some rounds over the weekend on her place. Nothing too suspicious at mukhang hindi nga nalabas ito. The thing is, she doesn't have any background of her family. It seems that she's an orphan. Kung yun nga yung gusto niyang palabasin. My investigation was a waste. At mukhang ganun din kay Vlad. 

He called me the day after we talked about our plan. He mentioned that he asked for Edison's help pero wala din itong naibigay. Mukhang iniwasan pa nga daw yung topic nung nalaman kung sino yung tinatanong niya. But Vlad had this thinking that he knows something. Hindi lang nito sinasabi. Maybe it's something that he has a past to connect with o may iba pang dahilan. 

Naramdaman kong bumukas ang pinto at pumasok na ang prof namin sa General Language. Dahan dahan kong tinanggal sa tenga ko ang earphone at ilalagay na sana sa bag ng magulat ako kung sino yung nasa tabi ko. 

None other than the girl I was having thoughts with. 

FHILEA GORDOVA.

She was the one who sits right next to me. Hindi naman ito ganun kalayo dahil napapa-gitnaan lang ng upuan na kinalalagyan ng bag ko yung upuan niya. She was on her phone when the Prof arrived. Agad naman niya itong tinago at diretsong tumingin sa unahan. 

This is the first time I take a closer look of her. She's more prettier up-close. Having a pinkish cheeks and a pointed nose. A deep-set eyes covered with long black curved lashes. And a thin red lips. Kahit sino siguro mapapatitig rito.

'What's the use of the eyeglass?' isip isip ko. Kung nagpapaka nerd lang din naman siya, hindi effective. Her features are flaunting. Obviously. What more if she took those glasses off?

Nagulat ako ng nilingon ako nito. She look at me like I did something so offensive. Nagbawi naman agad ako ng tingin. 

'Wew!' anang isip ko. The way she stare is a bit scary and intimidating. There's something in there that can humiliate you without saying any word. At all. Her eyes speaks.. in a rude way. 

Hindi ko na siya tiningnan pang muli at nakinig na lang sa Prof na nasa harapan. The professor is writing Standard Mandarin on the white board. Nailing na lang ako sa magiging paksa.

"Hello Class. I know its a bit late for introduction but since we just got this class available, I'll be introducing my self. I'm Benigno Rama. You can call me BEN. I will be your Professor for General Language." mahabang wika nito. Wala naman sumagot sa kaniya dahil karamihan ay tumango na lang.
