Sabrina's POV
Kinusot ko ang mata ko at tinanggap na gising na ang diwa ko mula sa pagkakatulog. I woke up earlier when I felt something light hit my nose. I ignored it at first and tried to go back to sleep, but I just couldn't drift off again.
"Is Ms. Ferrer here?"
I opened my eyes when I heard my name from the front. I peeked out from behind the large body in front of me and saw... the principal.
Bumuntong hininga ako at tamad na itinaas ang kanang kamay ko. "I'm here."
Her jaw tightened as she saw me. I would've been scared by her expression, but I was already used to seeing that look on her face all the time.
"Proceed to my office, immediately." she said, turning around and walking out of the room.
I stood up, and instantly, all eyes were on me. I saw my classmates whispering to each other, and I knew they were talking about me. I just shrugged it off. I'm used to this kind of attention.
"Ma'am, excuse me."
I frowned as I watched Nerd excuse himself from the teacher and head out of the classroom. Maybe he had to pee. But wasn't he supposed to help me? Tss. I knew it.
Without saying anything, I walked out of the classroom. No one stopped me because they're already used to me leaving without asking for permission. So, I just kept walking.
Pero laking gulat ko nang makita si Nerd na nakahalukipkip at nakasandal sa pader na parang may hinihintay. When he saw me, he straightened up. Akala ko ba naiihi ang isa 'to?
"Let's go?" he said.
Kumunot ang noo ko. "Huh?"
"I said I'll try to help you. So where's the principal's office?" He grabbed my hand and started walking.
"Wait nga lang..." Tumigil ako, kaya napalingon siya sa akin. "Seryoso ka? Akala ko ba nagpaalam ka papuntang CR?"
Tinaas niya ang dalawang kilay. "I just excused myself. I never said I was going to the restroom. And yes, I'm serious. So, may I know now where the principal's office is?"
Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala, pero thank God, nagawa ko pa ring magsalita ng normal.
"Diretsyo lang, tapos kaliwa, diretsyo ulit. Makikita mo kaagad yung office."
Nagpatuloy na kami sa paglalakad sa direksiyong tinuro ko. Does he really not know? How is he even enrolled if he hasn't been to the principal's office yet?
"Hoy Nerd..." sambit ko. At dahil curious ako, kailangan ko siyang tanungin. "Pa—"
"Sa registrar's office."
Nanlaki ng bahagya ang mata ko. I was about to ask how he got enrolled, but he already beat me to it.
"Oy! Wala pa naman akong tinatanong ah."
"Alam kong tatanungin mo ko kung paano ako naka-enroll, I was expecting that. Obvious naman eh."
Natahimik ako at nanatiling nakatingin lang sa kanya. Weh? Obvious? Or maybe he's a mind reader?
"I'm not a mind reader if that's what you're thinking." Hala, mind reader nga eh!
"Luh! Mind reader ka talaga no?!"
He hissed. "I just said it."
"Na ano? Mind reader ka?"
"Na hindi nga."
"Mind reader ka kaya!" I raised my voice, making him flinch a bit.
"Lower your voice. Ikaw lang ang maingay dito. I'm not a mind reader."
