{Lester's PoV}

narinig ko palang ang mga bulung-bulongan alam ko na agad na wala akong kawala

"ayaw masabihan na chismosa pero agad kumalat ang balita"

nauna akong pumasok sa principals office

"Lester what brings you here?" bungad niya, but instead of answering him I let the girls in "Navarro, Gonzales anong nangyari sainyo?"

"sir it's her fault" turo ni Xyril kay Pauline

"no sir she started it" Pauline defended herself

"sir excuse me, I need to look after my students" pag papaalam ko, Principal agreed and I make my way out

pabalik na ako ng classroom at sa harap ko may nag lalakad na dalawang babae

"grabe naman si Pauline pokpok pala siya" sabi ng babae sa right side ko, medyo na irita ako sa narinig ko

"oo nga, si Lester naman uto-uto crush ko panaman siya" pag agree ng ng nasa left ko

"excuse ne girls, dapat nasa classroom kayo diba?" sabi ko kaya napalingon sila, and they look so shocked

"s-sir Lester kanina ka pa dyan?" tanong ng babae sa right side ko

"yes I heard everything you said, loud and clear so if you don't mind go to your class" I coldly said and they walk as fast as they can

"wait am I affected? am I mad to those girls?"

pumasok ako sa mens room at tumingin sa salamin

"I'm not affected, I'm just irritated"

"yes Tey your just irritated" sabi ko sa reflection ko

lumabas ako ng restroom at pumasok na sa classroom nina Pauline

binigyan ko lang sila ng maikling lecture at nag discuss ng konti tapos ay pinagawan ko sila ng essay katulad ng utos sakin

pagkatapos ng klase ko sakanila ay vacant ko na, pumunta ako sa cafeteria dahil gutom na gutom na ako

"I wish I had breakfast"

papasok na ako ng cafetiria nung biglang may humawak sa kamay ko

"hi babe" masayang bati niya tapos ay hinila niya ako sa cafeteria, may ilang estudyante rin na nasa loob

"hala sila nga"

"ouch my heart broke"

"masakit aminin pero bagay sila"

this is unusual for me, yes I used to gain attention because of my looks, skills and my surname but being in a relationship is a new thing for me

"see sabi ko naman sayo kakalat yan" she said "umupo ka muna dyan, I'll buy you some foods"

I just looked around the cafetiria and most of the students are looking at me, I just ignored them after a few minutes Pauline came back with a tray

"may klase ka" I said and started eating

"ano klase? nag suspend kaya ng klase wala ka bang narecieve na text?" tanong niya

I never used a updated gadget in my whole entire life, umiling lang ako

"well the principal cancelled the classes para makapag break daw ang mga lecturer"

"is that enough para mag suspend, I mean being a lecturer is a hard work but how about others who continually work?"
