Bago magtungo si Olivia sa sunod nitong klase ay chineck muna nito ang kanyang iPhone6S. Some unknown number texted her again. Kalimitan ay hindi pinapansin ni Olivia ang mga text mula sa mga unregistered number sa kanyang cellphone dahil sa tingin nito ay puro pagpapasikat lang ang alam ng mga ito, but today is new, she remembered na ang number na nagtext sa kanya ngayon ay ang number na nagtext din sa kanya kaninang umaga. She opened the message.
Miss mahalaga kasi yang T-shirt ko sa akin eh, pakidrop nalang sa condo ko.
Hindi alam ng dalaga kung maiinis o magagalit siya sa taong nagpadala nito, tama bang utusan pa siyang i-drop ang damit nito sa condo niya. For pete's sake, she doesn't know who the guy/girl was, hindi rin niya sigurado kung totoo ba itong mensahe na ito or just another prank galing sa mga taong walang magawa.
Rereplayan na sana ng dalaga ang mensahe but she remembered na may klase pa pala siya na kailangang pasukan. She put her iPhone6S in her Chanel bag at dali-daling nagtungo sa klase nito.
"Sorry mam I'm late", she apologized to the old woman who's lecturing their lessons. Nagtungo ito sa pinakadulong upuan para maitago ang kahihiyan sa buong klase.
"I hope you all read the chapter 12 over the long weekend ", the old professor said as she paced down the rows of desks.
Ripple of voices was heard in the large classroom. Heto ang kinatatakot ng dalaga, she forgot to read the chapter 12 of the Great Greek Mythology and mas kinatatakot niya kung matawag siya for their recitation.
"You know my rules, and staying silent will not help you", The class let out a collective groan, otherwise it was silent.
"So, who can tell me about the love story of Mars and Venus?",A hand shot up in the middle. The old woman pointed.
"Mam, we thought we will discuss Greek mythology, but Mars and Venus were from Roman mythology", a teenage man said confidently while the whole class nodded
"Mr. Abernathy, you seems you don't read the chapter 12, isn't you? "
" I read it mam, but as what I said, they were both from Roman Mythology, and I also don't remember I read a line telling the love story of Mars and Venus",
"Mam, baka po namalikmata lang kayo sa libro dahil sa sobrang kapal ng grado ng salamin niyo", a man wearing a mauve ripped jeans said, the whole class laughed loudly, maging si Olivia ay hindi naiwasan ang pagtawa sa narinig.
"QUIET! ",the professor said.
"MR. MATEO, GET OUT OF THE ROOM AND REPORT TO ME ON A TEN PAGE PAPER YOUR REASON WHY I SHOULD NOT FAIL YOU! ", she continued in a mad face.
Bigla namang tumahimik ang klase dahil na rin sa ayaw magaya sa kaawa-awang estudyante, lumabas naman ang estudyante habang kamot-kamot ang kaniyang ulo.
"Now let us go back to the lesson", the professor said in her poker face.
"Mr. Abernathy, continue. "
"Ah mam, The truth is, I really wasn't able to read the whole chapter. ", Abernathy said in a very soft and cool voice.
"Sit down", the prof said while raising her right eyebrow
"Anyone?", the professor scanned the room and fell on Olivia's seat.
"Olivia Gabrielle Zamora? "
Olivia bigger her eyes, surprised. "Y-yes Mam"
Tumayo ang dalaga at iniisip ang isasagot sa katanungan ng matanda.
"We're waiting "
"I-im sorry mam but c-could you repeat the question? "
