She's My Boyish Girl

Chapter 11

Zavier Yutsuko

HERE I am again, sa harap mismo ng Cantrell Academy, it's not really my decision to study here again. In fact, I'll be fine kahit 'di na ako mag-aral. I can feed hundreds of people with my wealth, pero alam din nating lahat Academic Validation is a whole different thing.

Papa Jo actually told me to study here, sa hindi ko malamang dahiln. is he bluffing with me? Alam niya ang nangyari years ago, bakit niya ako pinilit dito? Lumabas na ako sa kotse kong naka-park na fifteen minutes ago. Nakatunganga lang kasi ako rito for some reason.

Their stares, not to exaggerate things but, I want to poke their eyes with my blade sa mga tinginan nila. IT'S IRRITATING! Hindi ba talaga nila mare-realize na gossiping while looking at someone is discomforting. I hate the way they look at me na para bang alien ako.

Napa-iling na lang and made my way to our room. Mabuti pa yung tatlo, they are having the best time of their lives. Naka-homeschool kasi ang mga 'yon, kaya chill and relax lang talaga ng pinunta nila rito.

As I opened the door, their heads immediately turned into my direction. Some are shocked, some are giving 'sino-yan-look'. Hindi ko na sila binalingan pa at tinignan ang gurong nakangiti sa'kin. Papa taught me to atleast respect others. Unlike before na patapon lang talaga ang ugali ko.

"You must be the transferee," ang mahinahong ani niya na tinanguan ko. Ibang-iba ang bungad niya from the last time that I was here. She looks more approachable.

"Good morning, Miss." Maikling bati ko at ngumiti naman siya. Giniya niya ako papasok, and before I could even face them fully. I saw in my peripheral vision thay THEY'RE here. The three eggs who ruined everything three years ago.

Hindi ko mapigilang mag-ngitngit sa loob loob ko as now I can clearly see their faces. I remained my poker face as I stared directly to them as if I am observing their soul kaya kitang-kita ko kung pano napalunok si Arkin and Kaemoon looked away while Oxford? Nanlaki ang mga mata niya.

"Class, she'll be with you for the rest of the year," bumaling siya sa'kin, "hija, can you please introduce yourself?" Hindi ko alam pero tutok na tutok silang lahat. Ngayon lang ba sila nakaita ng bagong salta?

I calmly stepped forward, at inilagay sa bulsa ko ang aking dalawang kamay. "Zavier Yutsuko, 20." I can clealry see from here that they became uncomfortable with my presence. Shock is also evident in their faces. I chuckled in my head. 

Third Person

MAAGANG nagising si Nox, kaya napagdesisyunan niyang pumasok ng maaga. When he arrived he immediately went to his chair at umob-ob. It's still early so he has a lot of time to doze off.

As time passes by, dumadami nang dumadami ang pumapasok sa classroom nila, making Nox rise from his desk where he was sleeping. Dahil sa ingay na ginagawa ng mga kaklase niya ay hindu na siya makatulog pa.

Ipinatong niya ang kanyang dalawang braso sa desk. His right forearm laid on the desk while he use the left one for him to put his cheek on its palm. Wala namang nagbago masyado, marami siyang bahong classmate but all of them seems drudging in his eyes.

Dumating na rin ang mga kaibigan niya, but he only nodded at them. Nagkibit balikat lang ang dalawa at dahil sanay naman na ang mga ito sa kanya, hinayaan na siya ni Kae at Arkin.

Hindi nagtagal ay pumasok na sa classroom nila ang magsisilbi nilang adviser. He knew her, sinong hindi makakakilala sa mga gurong nagtatrabaho sa eskuwelahan niya? Well not now, but CA will be his someday.

The teacher started to introduce herself for formalities, she's Jane Garcia a mother of two. Hindi na pinansin pa ni Nox ang iba pa nitong sinasabi regarding the flow of their new year.

"A transferee from England will be here any minute now." Transferee? Yun ang nakakuha ng atensyon niya kaya napatingin siya sa harapan, saktong-sakto naman na bumukas ang pinto, the teacher assisted the newcomer at pinapasok na ito.

His whole world stopped as if he and the girl in front of her is the only person existing in this world. That brown hair that flowed gracefully, and her hazelnut eyes that capture everyone kahit na malamig ang mga tinging binabato nito.

He would never forget those eyes. The eyes who captured his at first glance. Shit! Anong ginagawa niya rito?

She walked as if she's a Queen at umupo sa TABI KO. YES FUCKING BESIDE ME! Halos hindi ko maigalaw ang leeg ko kahit gustong-gusto ko siya tignan. With the help of my peripheral vision, I saw how she calmly sat on her chair at tahimik na nakinig sa gurong nasa harapan namin without minding her surroundings.

Others can't help but to stare and look at her, they would take a glance just to see what she's doing behind. Ang ibang nakakaalam sa nangyari three years ago ay hindi makapaniwala at hindi rin alam kung ano ang ire-react.

Because of the transferee, unti-unting nabago ang atmospera ng kinaroroonang classroom ni Nox. Is he blessed by the God at nakatabi niya pa mismo ang babaenv gusto niyang kausapin noon pa man?

-

THEY'RE just hanging out just like they usually do sa bahay ni Kaemoon. The three of them are watching the latests fights of GW, lalong lalo na ang mga laban ng malalakas na grupo sa mundong yun.

They also watched the previous fights of Daeth Bloom. But because of Arkin's vibrating phone, inihinto muna nila ang pinanonood. Nox laid his back on the backrest of the couch at tahimik lang na pinanonood ang kaibigan na may katawag.

Arkin's hand began to tremble and his breathing went fast. Mabilis ding napakurap-kurap ang mga mata nito. Panic open-and-shut in his face. Agad agad itong tumayo.

"Arkin! Hey!" Tawag ni Kaemoon rito at sinundan ang kaibigang papaalis habang hawak hawak oa rin ang cellphone nito.

Nox also went after them at sinundan ang sasakyan ng kaibigan na kaaalis lang. Something's wrong, so he sped up his driving to catch up.
