Monday came. Umaga pa lang ay naghahanda na kami para sa booth. I got my photos framed after tweaking some things through editing and print it. We put decorations on the booth earlier, just after the sun rise.

The teachers came shortly after we finished everything in our booth. Some students also entered so they can give scores too. Our whole morning were busy, I just knew that it was lunch already when our teacher said so.

"Congrats Zyla! You're one who got it to the top! Your photos are lit!" said Eric, one of my classmates, making me blushed.

"O tama na pambobola Eric, sumisimple ka pa, e."

Michelle interjected making Eric scratched the back of his head, turning away. Napailing na lang ako kay Michelle.

"Tara, Queen Elsa. I'm hungry."

I pouted, hearing what she called me. "Ayaw mo?" She asked about her call name to me. "Pili ka, Queen Elsa o baby girl?"

Mas humaba ang nguso ko na ikinatawa niya. "You're bullying me again," I pointed out.

She just hugged me before kissing me on my cheek making me shocked and blushed at the same time. "Ako naman 'yung bully mong mahal na mahal ka, 'no," she told me before pulling me to the door.

We moved out of the booth before going to the canteen, one of my arms on Michelle while the other was holding a brown envelope.

While on the hallway, we saw Zaffron, just in time leaving his room.

"Zaff!" Michelle shouted making me wanted to face palmed. Mabuti na lang sakto na wala ng teacher kapag sumisigaw siya sa hallway. Parang gawain niya na kasi 'yon.

"Why do you keep yelling his name?" I asked Michelle when I saw Zaffron stopped on his spot, waiting for us.

"Hmm, maybe because he wanted to?" makahulugan nitong sabi kaya kumunot ang noo ko.

"What do you mean?"

She gave me a teasing smile before waving at Zaffron who just looked at us, his face expressionless.

I saw some students on the hallway, looking at Zaffron before glancing at Michelle.

"He's really popular..." I blurted without thinking.

"Baby girl, you yourself experience his effect last year when he bumped into you, didn't you?"

I blushed remembering that day that I knew his existence. I was in dazed that day, I admit. It felt like it's just yesterday even though it's been a year.

"Grabe naman, naaalala mo pa." I pouted. "Hindi ba pwedeng first time ko lang siya makita kaya ganoon reaction ko?"

"Exactly my point. A head turner. He might not belong to our social status, but he was untouchable because he was under Natasha's protection. Kaya kahit maraming lalaki ang naiinis sa kaniya, at mga babaeng gusto nang itapon ang sarili sa kaniya, wala pa ring gumagalaw sa kaniya."

"Ba't di ko 'yon alam?" inosenteng tanong ko. Bakit ba kasi wala akong kalam-alam sa school na 'to? "Saka anong itapon?"

"Because you're still a baby," she said like it explained everything. "You're my friend and you're under my wings. Also, I'm not supplying you with nonsense things." She shrugged. "Unless you asked of course."
