THIRD PERSON

"Don't worry, your words will be safe with me." He said and smiled warmly, hands still gripping Samantha's arm.

Napunta ang tingin ni Sam sa kamay ng binata na hawak-hawak pa rin ang braso nito. Tinapunan ng masamang tingin ni Sam ang binata bago iritang hinila ang braso mula sa kamay ni Timothy.

"Bakit mo ba 'ko sinusundan ha?! Ano ka, school stalker? Paparazzi?!" Bulyaw ni Sam sa lalakeng nasa harap nito na ang tanging hangad lamang ay maka-usap ito ng masinsinan ngunit, mukang malabo na itong mangyari ngayon.

Hindi inalintana ni Sam ang mga tinging ibinibigay sa kanila ngayon ng kapwa estudyanteng dumadaan at napapatigil sa hallway kung nasaan sila nakatayo.

Napairap na lamang ang dalaga, I am THE Samantha Mondero. I am this school's owner, nobody can threaten me with just a simple stare. Anito sa sarili

"I'm sorry. I got worried, sumisigaw ka kasi kanina sa cafeteria—" wika ng lalakeng nasa harap nito, gulat sa naging reaksyon ni Sam na hindi niya inakala. Pinutol naman siya agad ng dalaga.

"Hindi ko kailangan ng pag-aalala mo okay?! Nakita mo 'di ba? Edi dapat narinig mo din kung bakit!" Bulyaw mg dalawa at akmang aalis nang agad itong pigilan ng binata.

"Sam, kumalma ka nga? Nagma—" ngunit pinutol na naman siya nito

"Ugh! Pwede ba Mr. Timothy Knight?! It's Ms. Samantha not just 'Sam', don't act like close tayo 'cause that will never happen! And will you please?! Please lang! Leave me alone and stop meddling with my life!! If you take any step closer, and defy just what I said . I will make sure that you'll regret your existence!!" Bulyaw ni Sam bago magmartsa paalis. Walang magawa si Timothy kun'di tingnan na lamang ang dalaga na unti-unting lumalayo.

He never thought this mission would be this hard. Hindi niya inaakalang mahirap palang kausapin at pakisamahan ang inaakala niyang mahinhin, mabait, at palakaibigang si Ms. Samantha Mondero.

While on the other hand, Sam continued to march out of the building. Not minding the malicious stares she was getting from her fellow students. Ang tanging nasa utak nito ay ang maka-alis sa building na iyon.

She hadn't have any place in mind, where she can vent her anger out. But little did she know that her feet was already taking her to the school's swimming pool located just behind the school's gymnasium.

Namalayan na lamang nito nang maramdaman ang malamig na tubig sa tuhod, she kneeled down right on the edge of the pool.

The school swimming pool was for the swimmers to use, ginagamit din ito kapag may swimming tournaments or competitions ang mga private schools na involve ang SMU. But since it was still the second month of the school year, walang masyadong mga estudyanteng pumupunta dito ngayon.

Kung hindi sa rooftop ng main building ay, dito rin minsan nilalabas ni Sam ang kanyang tinatagong emosyon. She would sometimes swim, or just dip her feet into the pool, or sometimes just hold her breath for ten minutes below the water to cool her head down. It was her small ways on venting her hidden emotions out and to keep her in control. The waters keeps her calm.

But ever since that night happened. She just lost her control, again.

Sam then slowly took her shoes off, unpin her family's crest-pin, and put her phone and wallet inside her shoes. And after taking a deep breath, agad itong lumusad sa kina-ilaliman ng pool. Where no one could touch her, and no one could hurt her.
