Chapter 17: Why

Athena Elle's POV

"Good morning!" Bati sa akin ni Kevin.

Babatiin ko na sana siya pabalik kaso napadako ang tingin ko sa likod niya at awtomatikong napairap which is unusual for me.

"Whoa, what's with the expression?" He said, looking and sounding so amused.

"Nothing, good morning din!" Tuluyan na akong naupo sa tabi niya. I must be having mood swings... puwede ba yon kahit walang period?

.

Hindi pa man nagsisimula ang afternoon class ay inaantok na ako. Dapat pala ay hindi ko masyadong dinamihan ang kinain ko o kaya ay uminom ako ng may caffeine para magising ako. Ngayon pa naman ang araw ng pagbalik ni Sir Fajardo.

"Good afternoon, class!" Masiglang bati sa amin ng aming guro ngunit wala ni isa man ang bumati pabalik. Lahat kami ay mukhang mga lantang gulay, hindi siguro nasapatan ng pagkain ang pagod na nadama namin kanina sa P.E.

"Oh, my students are tired. It's okay, I understand." Nakangiting ani nito. He must be in a good mood today.

"I've checked your works and I'm glad that most of you actually did it. To be honest, natawa ako sa ilan. Meron din na pwedeng maging writers because I got really carried away with their stories." It's really an unusual sight seeing our teacher this active.

My other classmates also started to notice that. "Sana all energetic." Bulong sa akin ni Kevin.

Nakatingin ako sa harapan noong binulungan ako ni Kevs at nakita ko ang pagdapo ng tingin ni Sir sa amin but he didn't say a word.

Before, he can hear even the littlest sounds and he'll say "how selfish!" if you decline his offer to share it to the whole class.

"Napakaenergetic yata natin Sir ah?" Shouted Gino na sinundan ng buong klase.

"Well, it's just good to be back." He answered and smiled widely.

"Weeeeee?" The whole class screamed so we ended up spending the whole class hours learning about the history of him and his new girlfriend.

Turns out ilang taon na niya pala itong gusto but he didn't get the chance to tell her what he feels because natotorpe daw ito sa tuwing naghihiwalay ang babae at ang mga naging jowa nito.

"Shhh, kayo pa lang ang nakakaalam niyan." The classroom is engulfed with laughter. Some of his co-teacher even stop just to verify what theu are hearing or seeing. Even them thinks it's too unusual.

"Okay, class dismissed. Bukas ko na lang kayo sesermunan dahil sa mga maling gawa ninyo." Some of us disagreed with his announcement, saying that maganda na sana ang araw nila kaso bakit kailangan pang masermunan bukas.

So I the day finished with a heavy heart kahit na hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Nasa van kami ngayon at ako ang nasa tabi ng driver. Hinayaan ko na silang magtabi dahil wala rin ako sa mood na makipagkwentuhan. Feeling ko na-drain lahat ng energy ko.

"Bye Athena! Archer!" She waved at us and blew a kiss before entering their house. Isang kaway lanv ang ginawa ko dahil parang naubusan na rin ako ng lakas para buhatin pa ang kamay ko.

I sighed heavily. "Hey, are you alright? You look so exhausted. Are you tired?" He said, showing sincerity in every word he say. I answered him with a nod.

"Fine, take a nap. You still have twenty minutes." Isinandal nito ang ulo ko sa kaniyang balikat at hinayaan akong matulog doon.
