"President," Someone called me.

I closed my book after I put the bookmark in it. I lifted my head and I fixed my glass before I smiled.

Hindi naman ako ganoon kataray pero kapag wala akong salamin at may tumawag sa akin ay hindi ko napapansin at parang galit daw ako kung titingin naman.

Hindi ganoon kalabo ang mata ko. May tendency lang na kapag titingin ako sa isang bagay ay blurd pero nawawala rin naman agad.

"Yes, France?"

I know him dahil minsan ko na siyang naging ka-partner sa isang event sa school. Nagkakausap naman kami pero hindi ganoon ka-close.

He handed me a letter, "Para sa'yo. Sorry!" then he ran quickly away from me.

My forehead creased. Sinulyapan ko pa siya ng isang beses bago muling tinuon ang atensyon ko sa papel na binigay sa akin.

I opened it immediately and read what was written on it.

Hi, Nille. Ang ganda ganda mo tapos ang bait mo pa! Lalo na nung ka-partner kita. I think, I fell in love with you. Not because of your looks, but because of you. -France

I really appreciate those men who fell in love with my attitude not because of my looks.

I folded the paper again and I put it inside my pouch.

I've been receiving letters since I was in high school and now I'm already in my third year college kaya nasasanay na ako.

Today, I received six letters from different people na nakatago sa pouch ko.

It's not new anymore. I've always been like this. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit sila nahuhulog sa akin, hindi naman ako ganoon kaganda na inaakala nila.

Minutes have passed, I was about to remove my glass again and read the book when someone called me again.

"President Nille!" A baritone voice came.

Hindi ko na naman natuloy ang pagbabasa ko sa story na nasa book nang may tumawag na naman sa akin. That's why I prefer reading inside the library instead of benches near the garden.

"Yes, Gio?"

He is one of those popular students here. Varsity player and they have an attractive face kaya hindi na ako nagtataka kung bakit sila sikat at halos kinatitilian ng mga babae.

"Letter for you... and a rose," namamaos niyang sambit.

At the moment he put his letter and rose on my legs he immediately ran just like France.

I took a deep sigh and I opened the letter again. I appreciate their letters dahil sulat kamay talaga nila ito at nandito 'yung pagod at effort nila.

Nille, my president! Can I get your number? See you around. Watch our game, please. -Khelgio

I folded the letter when I already read it. I was about to put it inside the pouch when someone pulled it up.

I rolled my eyes when I saw who got it away from me. Sa kabila ng pagiging mabait ko sa lahat ng estudyante dito sa school ay isa lang ang taong gustong gusto ko ng patulan.

"May love letter na naman ang ating presidente..." he slowly shook his head, "What did you do to the boys here in DU?" kunot noo niyang tanong.

In an instant moment, nakuha ko na ang letter sa kaniya at mabilis ko itong pinasok sa bag ko. Mahirap na baka sa pagtri-trip niya sa akin ay punitin niya lahat.
