Lost Souls

Chapter 2

II.

Kasalukuyang nag uumpisa ang klase namin with our terror professor. Lagi siyang ganyan kapag nag tuturo tila walang kareact-reaction ang mukha nito.

Hindi mawala wala ang ilang masasakit na salita na halos marinig ko na araw araw kila Mom and Dad and even to my Kuya sometimes. Pilit ko mang inilalabas iyon sa kabilang tenga ko pero pilit ring tumatatak sakin ang lahat ng iyon na para bang automatic nang magiging permanente iyon sa isipan ko.

I sighed

"Gabrielle," I was shocked when suddenly I heard my name.

"Yes maam?" I asked then stoop up.

My classmate immediatly stare at me. Nasa pinakalikod ako kaya lahat sila ay nakikita kong nakatingin sakin.

"Are you listening?" she asked.

"Y-yes maam," kailangan kong makinig.

"Then, answer my question. Each subordinate should have one superior whose command he has to obey. This is known as?"

Without hesitation I answered her question. "The one superior whose command he has to obey is known as Unity of command principle,"

That's me. Even Im not listening I can still answer her question. I don't know how can I do that basta ang alam ko ay masasagutan ko iyon ng tama.

Umawang ang labi niya na para bang handa na ito sa sasabihin but someone knock on our classroom door.

Lahat kami ay na curious, nanatili akong nakatayo at naka titig sa pinto tulad ng ibang kong mga kaklase.

We heard some noise outside it seems like they're laughing, they're happy.

"Yo! maam Linda, mukha kang masungit ngayon ah," nagulat kaming lahat nang marinig namin ang sinabi ng lalaking kausap ni Maam.

"Zachary hayan ka naman at binibiro ako." natatawang sambit ni Maam.

Literal kaming nagulat dahil sa naging usapan nila sa labas and for the first time in forever we heard the laugh of our terror teacher. That's was a rare, we never saw or heard her laugh because most of the time ay naka simangot at mukang masungit ito.

"Ma'am pwedeng heramin si Gabrielle?" agad akong napatingin doon when I heard my name. All of my classmate are looking at me straight to my face. Tila nag tatanong ang mga tingin nila.

Later on our profesor come inside and she immediatly look at me.

"Gabrielle, someone what's to talk to you," at first I didn't respond I still processing what happening right now.

Nang hindi ako gumalaw ay nakita ko pang sumilip ang lalaking kausap ni Maam kanina sa labas. I blinked twice when I realized that he's familiar to me like I saw him everywhere.

Tumama ang tingin niya sakin at ngumiti ito ng presko. I sighed silenty then stood up and make a step toward him.

My eyebrows frown when he put his arms on my shoulder. What's with this guy? and how he know me? I don't even know him.

"Hey Gab," he showed his grin.

"Who are you?" I asked.

"Your friend," nakangiting sagot niya.

Your friend? But I don't have friend. And I don't need one.

"Nag kakamali ka." I said then inalis ko na ang braso niya sakin saka na ako tumalikod.

"Hazel! ayaw niya naman e," biglang sigaw nito at doon ko nakita ang babaeng nakita ko kahapon sa cafeteria.

Why si she even here? and that guy, I saw that guy last time in cafeteria and she's with that girl named Hazel.
