"THE SACRED BOOK"

Chapter 16

Anderson's POV

"Please introduce yourself," I heard the teacher say.

"Anderson Montefalco," without any flamboyant word, I stated my name.

"You may take that empty seat over there," sabi niya at tinuro ang isang bakanteng pwesto.

"For the new student to know me, I will introduce myself," panimula ng guro. "I am Shasshela, your Potion teacher."

"To go back to where we stopped, we all know we have tons of kinds of potion, right?" she started discussing immediately, wasting no time.

The class nodded.

"Anyone who can give me an example?" the teacher asked, raising her right hand.

Nagtaas ng kamay si Shaine.

"Yes, Scot?"

"Love Potion," ngiting sabi ni Shaine.

"Invisibility Potion," said Davis.

"Fire Resistance Potion," pagsunod ni Camille kay Davis.

As competent as he is, Charles raised his hand. The teacher didn't point him but he still stated a potion example, "Slowness Potion."

"Fastest Potion," sabat ko rin.

"Very good," puri ng guro.

And the fun began. More oral recitation followed.

Kayesha's POV

Naglalakad ako patungo sa magiging silid ko. How unusually normal it feels to be walking around this hall, nostalgic enveloped me.

It's the same scenario back at the school I own in the Philippines.

Now that I've thought about it, I wonder how everyone's doing there.

Today I ain't wearing gown or such, but a uniform.

Though it's kinda short, I don't mind since I look good on it.

I knocked on the door and slowly opened it.

"You're late," salubong ng guro na hindi ko naman pinagtuunan ng pansin. I stood in front and faced the class without looking at their faces.

"Class, meet your new classmate," baling niya sa mga estudyante. "Please kindly introduce yourself."

I took a deep breath, " I am Kayesha," sagot ko at walang sabing pumunta sa upuang bakante at umupo 'saka yumuko at pinikit ang parehong mata.

"Psst," paninitsit ng kung sino.

"Wuy!" pabulong na sigaw ulit nito.

Hindi na siya nakatiis pa at niyugyog na ang balikat ko.

"Ano ba?!" singhal ko. "Alam mo namang natutulog–" I was about to throw hands and feet nang matigilan ako.

His hands froze on the air, both palm are facing me.

"Woah," ngisi nito. "Babe, hindi mo na ako natatandaan? Ang bilis mo naman atang makalimot," malumay niyang sabi, hindi mawala-wala ang ngisi sa labi.

Ash? The heck is this guy doing here?

Mukha naman siyang gurang for us to be on the same class and grade.

And about what he did the other day. How dare him kiss the back of my hand, leaving dirty saliva on my hand. Disgusting.

Pero bakit pakiramdam ko bigla akong namula reminiscing that moment? Shit. Shit. Shit. No.
