Finding Ms. Right

Chapter 55: Ziana Alvarez

JANA

"AALIS ka ba talaga? Hindi ba pwedeng kahit patapusin lang itong school year?" Tanong ni Lucas and I laughed a bit.

"Hindi pwede eh. Utos ni Principal." I said.

"Kakausapin ko si Ms Marval!" Sabi naman ni Christian at natawa na lang ako. I grabbed his arm and made him face me. Nanigas siya sa kinatatayuan niya kaya natawa ako.

"I will miss you." I said at nakita kong namula siya. I just ruffled his hair and looked at the boys. "I will all miss you." I said.

We all did a group hug before I totally left that classroom. Wala si Jay at Zild doon at ipinagpapasalamat ko 'yon.

I started walking towards my former classroom. Napabuntong hininga na lang ako. Today is Monday and it means simula ngayon, hindi ko na ulit magiging kaklase sila Rico. I don't want to leave, actually. Section C is a very special room for me. Those boys are special for me. Natawa na lang ako. Kahit ilang buwan lang, minahal ko na ang mga gago na 'yun. And I just hope na lahat ng tinuro ko sa kanila, gamitin nila. At sana lang talaga, maipasa nila ang Final Exams.

I stopped from walking when someone stopped in front of me. Inangat ko ang ulo ko and gulped when I saw who it is. Agad akong nag-iwas ng tingin and tried walking in his right or left side but he will just block my way. "Are you avoiding me?" What he asked made me froze.

"H-Hindi." Gusto ko ng sampalin ang sarili ko ngayon. Why now? Bakit ngayon pa ako nautal? Is it because I accepted the fact that I like this guy?

"Really, huh?" Tanong niya and leaned closer. Umatras ako agad kasabay ng pagbilis ng tibok ng puso ko. Fuck this heart.

Tumawa siya bigla kaya naingat ko ang ulo ko. "Namumula ka. Pfft.." Napanganga ako sa sinabi niya. Dahil sa sinabi din niya, nawala ang kaba ko at napalitan ito ng inis. I hardly stepped on his right foot and that made him stopped from laughing. Saglit pa siyang napasigaw.

I crossed my arms. "Don't you ever block my way again." Sabi ko at nilagpasan na siya. Binilisan ko ang lakad ko at napahawak sa pisngi ko. Namula ako? Shit. Ugh.

Napapapadyak na lang ako hanggang sa marating ko ang classroom ko. I opened the door but I was taken aback when I saw my former classmates holding a banner and my best friend holding some pom poms.

"Welcome back Jana!" They all said in chorus and I slightly smiled.

I'm back.

Kasalukuyang nagle-lecture si Sir Dela Vega at wala akong choice kundi ang makinig. Since this is my first day again in this classroom. Nakaupo din ako sa dati kong upuan, sa tabi ni Lucy. And I am really aware from the glares that Carla is giving me. Kinuha ko lang naman sa kanya ang upuan na ito. At first, nakiusap pa ako pero ayaw niya talagang lumipat. Pero ng si Niko na ang nakipag-usap sa kanya, she smiled and immediately agreed. Ha! She's really a bitch.

"You know what bessy? I really want to make hila-hila her mata na!" Bulong ni Lucy sa gilid ko. I just silenced her down dahil baka marinig siya ni Sir Dela Vega. She rolled her eyes first bago bumalik sa pagdo-drawing ng kung ano-ano na naman sa sketchpad niya. She didn't changed. Hindi pa din siya nakikinig. Paano kaya nakakapasa 'tong babaeng ito?

I just sighed and caught Carla glaring at me again. I just raised a brow on her and she rolled her eyes. Mahina akong natawa. Mahina lang. Tipong ako lang ang makakarinig. But I guess I was wrong dahil lumingon sa akin si Niko which is nakaupo din sa tabi ko. Lucy in the left side and him in the right side. "What's funny?" Mahina at natatawa niyang tanong.
