Best Part of Me

7

"Miss Adisson, you're late!" Our professor shouted.

I bit my lips from embarassment but the moment I saw him sitting at his chair was enough for me. I smiled at him but he was just staring at me.

"Sorry sir. Something came up and--"

"Sorry?! Even Mr. Chance arrived earlier than you. For your information Ms. Adisson, hindi porket anak ka ng congressman ay magagawa mo na ang gusto mo. There is no excuse for tardiness!" Litanya niya.

I really wanted to shout at him for humiliating me in front of the class. And why the hell would he suddenly bring up my Dad being a congressman. I was clenching my jaw and glaring at him, everyone was looking at me with pity and I hate that. This was the first time that someone would humiliate me like this. I mean, Ash always do that to me but this one is on another level.

"I'm sorry but do you really have to mention my father?" I answered but it provoked him even more.

"Sinasagot mo ko?!" He shouted really really loud. I wasn't used to be humiliated, and I hate to be shouted by anyone, well except for Ash.

"I will mark your prelims as flat 5 for answering back at me! Napakabastos porket anak ng congressman!" To my surprise he suddenly tore my index paper into pieces, that made my mouth hang open. My eyes started to produce rage tears, my hand was trembling from too much anger building inside me.

What kind of mentality does this so-called professor had? I suddenly heard a chair move, I saw Ash was about to stand but I quickly signalled him not to do anything. He was standing and clenching his jaw while staring at me. Mukhang hindi naman siya napansin ng professor, dahil busy ito kakasermon sa akin. I tried to smile at Ash and mouthed him, 'I'm okay'. Padabog siyang umupong muli, I looked at our class mayor she wasn't even defending me and avoided my eyes. I thought she never wanted anyone to be left behind?

"Ms. Adisson, go to the back and stand there until my class is over." I just glared at him, I can't do anything so I just obeyed and walked towards the back. Sumandal ako sa pader at pinanood sila. This was too much, but as long as he's here, everything's fine.

"Take that as a lesson, sa susunod na may ma-late pa sa klase ko ay matutulad kay Ms. Adisson." He said while pointing at me as his example. He's not yet done humiliating me, huh.

"Anyway, let's all clap our hand to your class mayor for making sure that your attendance would be complete today." Everyone clapped their hands except for me and Ash. I scoffed, and rolled my eyes.

"Here's an example of a good leader, everyone." Puri ng professor sa kanya.

May pinindot ang professor sa kanyang laptop at bigla na lamang naglabas ito ng video sa projector. It was a CCTV footage.

"See, she even managed to force Mr. Chance to come today." My mouth literally hanged open, it was a CCTV footage of me dropping Ash at the main gate a while ago but using her car. At sa isang video, sabay silang pumasok sa loob ng classroom.

Everyone in the room clapped their hand. I looked at her and she was smiling proudly, did she just fucking used me?

I saw Zeph glancing at me with concern and worry, I just smiled at her to assure I was fine.

I could feel my rage tears coming again, but I was really trying hard to stop it. It was a good thing that Ash wasn't reacting violently because ayoko naman na siya pag initan ng saltik na professor na ito. It was a good thing that he doesn't care about anything after all.

"Our topic for today is about leadership...."

The class went on like normal, while I remained standing here for the rest of the class. Nararamdaman ko na ang pananakit ng paa ko, dagdag mo pa na naka-heels ako. Maybe I should just ditch the class after this, I lost my mood and I just wanted to cage myself at my room today.

The class went on for the next 2 hours, I wanted to cry because my feet really hurts.

After 2 hours ay natapos din ang klase, sawakas. As soon as the professor went out ay mabilis akong naglakad palabas, I could hear Zephany calling for me but I didn't bother to look back. I wanted to slap that class mayor too, but maybe next time. I was so emotionally drained right now.

I could feel my feet bleeding because of the heels, but I don't care, I just want to get the hell away from here. My vision started to became blurry, and tears started to form in my eyes so I stopped walking and looked above. I don't want to cry.

I decided to continue walking but someone blocked my way before I could start.

Gulat akong napatingin sa kanya, what the hell? Kanina pa ba siya diyan?

"W-what are you doing here?" Gulat na tanong ko.

He stared at me for a moment before avoiding my eyes. I saw him bite his lips and trying to avoid eye contact.

"I.. I'm hungry." He said and that shocked me.

"W-what?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko.

"I said I'm hungry, let's eat." He said, I pressed my lips to stop myself from smiling. Is he really asking me to eat with him? I quickly nodded, tumalikod na siya at nagsimula ng maglakad, I ran after him ngunit muntikan lang akong madapa dahil sa heels ko.

He suddenly stopped and looked at me. Napatingin siya sa paa ko, and I saw him clench his jaw. Lumapit siya sa akin kaya't medyo napaatras ako.

"Take off your shoes." He ordered.

"Take off.. What? Sorry?" Hindi makapaniwalang tanong ko. He pointed at my shoes. Hindi ko alam ang ibig niyang sabihin pero dahil mukhang seryoso siya ay inalis ko ang heels ko sa isang paa.

"Pinagtritripan mo ba ako?" Naiinis na tanong ko. He just stared at my foot before walking near me.

"Sakay." He said, my jaw dropped when he positioned himself for a piggy back ride. Is he even serious?! I roamed my eyes around and saw few students busy doing their things.

I slowly walked towards him, my heart was beating really fast. I carefully ride his back then he carried me while I was holding my shoes.

I could smell his manly scent, and feel his firm muscles. I never expected this to happen, it felt like my spirit was lifted in an instant and I can't stop myself from smiling. I saw some students looking at us but I don't care.

He stopped at the school's mini garden, walang tao rito at malamig ang simoy ng hangin. Binaba niya ako sa isang bench kaya't umupo na lamang ako.

He stared at me and saw him clenching his jaw again.

"I'll buy food." He said before walking away.
