MARA's POV
"Okay. Your turn. Give me a word na paulit-ulit." sabi ko pa.
"Sarah." Tawag ko kay Sarah. Studyante kong mahilig sa make up.
"umm, Gabi-Gabi!"
"Good. Vince."
"Araw-Araw, ma'am!" Natatawang sagot niya.
"Okay. Dan."
"umm, loko-loko ma'am!" Nagtawanan naman ang buong klase sa sinagot niya.
Hay, Dan will always be Dan. Class Clown.
"Thank you Dan, how about, ummm, okay Enrique?"
Agad namang napatingin si Enrique sakin. Enrique is a shy type of a student. Ewan kung bakit basta I find him interesting. Minsan lang sya nagsasalita pero everytime he speaks, nakakabilib ang mga sinasabi niya.
"Ma'am?" Nakayuko nyang tanong.
"Bigyan mo ako ng salitang paulit-ulit."
He looked at me again tapos somewhere in the crowd, balik ulit sakin tapos ngumiti sya.
Why is he being creepy?
"Uhhmm.."
"Bilisan mo na, Enrique!" Sasha interrupted so I sushed her.
"Pag-ibig ma'am." Napataas naman ang kilay ko sa sagot nya.
Pag-ibig?
As in, love?
"Pag-ibig? Love? Saan ang paulit-ulit sa salitang pag-ibig?" Nagtataka kong tanong sa kanya. I even took a glance to Andrei na nagtataka din ang mukha. Mukha nya!
"Um, ang masaktan po." He answered makinh the crowd go wild.
Woah!
"Woah!" Andrei hissed making me look at him.
Did Enrique just made a hugot?
"Hugot si Pareng Enrique!" Jonathan teased.
"Suuss! broken hearted kay Rylie!" Josh teased again.
"Okay, okay tama na yan, class. Thank you, Enrique but that wasn't appropriate okay?" Nag thumbs-up lang sya tsaka umupo.
Damn it.
It wasn't appropriate but he was right! Paulit-ulit nga.
MATAPOS ang isang oras ay nagtungo na ako sa next class ko. Still with Andrei and this time mas malakas ang sigawan ng mga studyante ko lalo na at tourism department ito. Ganun ba talaga sya ka sikat?
"Bestfriend talaga kayo ma'am?" Tanong no Sherly. Andrei mentioned it again when he introduced himself earlier at eto, and chi-chismosa talaga ng mga taga-tourism.
"Well, yes. Before." I answered. Honestly, though. Kasi nung umalis si Andrei, alam kong friendship over na yun. Muntanga ko kasi eh.
"Huh?" She asked along with the class asked.
Napatingin ako kay Andrei na tumikhim. May ubo ba sya? Kanina pa yan ah?
"Was? Di na tayo BFF?" he asked childishly while pouting. Is he serious right now?
"Okay.. let's proceed to our topic." Pag iiba ko ng usapan. Mapupunta pa sakin eh.
"Eeh! si Ma'am umiiwas!" sigaw ng kung sino sa mga studyante. Aba naman talaga.
"Class, it is not a good thing to include personal matters while teaching." Ani ko tsaka umayos ng tayo.
"Pero okay lang isali ang personal matters pag natututo? Where's the logic, ma'am Fuentes?" Liliene asked in a serious mode, ang iba naman ay nagsitanguan at sumang-ayon pa. Bakit ang tsismosa nila?
