CHAPTER TWO

"Transferee?" nakangising tanong sa akin nang isang lalaki. His buttons are all open, aakalain mong hindi section 1. His hair is also messy and his eyes are a bit chinky.

"Yes" I answered.

His smirk widened as he sat at the empty chair in front of me. His friends cheered as he leaned his face closer to me. Mabilis akong napaatras.

"Hmm...Nam-tan." he playfully read my nametag. It was located on my chest that's why I became a bit uncomfortable.

Bumalik ang tingin niya sa akin.

"Hi, Namtan! I'm Off."

Mabilis na nagbago ang awra niya. He became cheerful now. May mood swings ba ang isang to?

I just smiled. I'm not comfortable with his aura. Mukhang napansin niya naman yun kaya tumayo na siya.

He winked at me first before going back to his friends. Maingay ang banda nila doon making me more nervous.

Their group screams so much arrogance. I don't like this feeling at all.

I almost jumped from my seat when a random girl suddenly sat at the chair beside me. She's not looking at me pero ramdam kong nakita niya ako.

She's fixing her things. She brought out her notebooks and pencil-case and put it under the table. Doon ko lang napansin na may compartment pala sa ilalim. Wow, much different from my previous school.

Tumikhim ako bago siya sinubukang kausapin. I want to make friends, kahit isa lang.

"Hi?" I greeted her.

"Hello" she immediately answered without even looking at me. Nagsusulat naman siya ngayon.

"I'm Namtan. You are?" I asked carefully.

"Puimek" she replied.

Puimek and Off. At least, I know two people.

Nawawalan na ako ng pag-asa nang may umupo na naman sa kabilang banda ko. It was a girl with thick eyeglasses. She's smiling towards me.

"Hi?" I awkwardly greeted.

Napatawa naman siya bago inilahad ang kamay sa akin. I smiled.

"Hi, I'm Ciize." she introduced herself.

I immediately accepted her hand. Finally!

"Namtan" I answered happily. Having my hopes up because finally, I'm having my very first friend here.

"So, bakit ka nagtransfer?" tanong niya.

"We just moved here. Kaya ayun, hindi na kasi kami nakabayad ng upa sa Maynila." bulong ko sa kanya.

Nagtawanan naman kaming dalawa at matagal pang nag-usap hanggang sa nagtanong na ako ng mga pangalan sa kanya.

She then nodded and introduced them to me one by one.

"That's Tay's group. The one with the glasses is Singto, he's pretty smart. Silent type pero medyo...arogante." ngiwi niya sa akin.

I stared at Singto but immediately tore my gaze off when he stared back. Creepy.

"That's Gunsmile. Makulit pero maiinitin ang ulo. No one wouldn't want to mess with him." Ciize continued while pointing at the one who's leaning against the window frame. Nakatayo lang ito doon at nakikipagtawanan sa mga kaibigan.

"That one is Bright. All I know about him is that he's a guitarist and a snob. Never ko pa siya nakausap ever since tumapak ako sa school na to."

I looked at the one who's wearing a black beanie. He's...handsome.

Someone entered the room making their group cheered playfully. The man smiled as he made his way towards them.

"That's Arm Weerayut for you. Our school's so-called 'Perfect man". Tingin ko gets mo naman na kung bakit."

I nodded. Yeah, he's perfect.

"Gago!" Off's laughed echoed all over the room. He's laughing really hard.

"Off Jumpol. Wag kang lalapit dyan. May rumours na pag naging girlfriend ka niya, kukunin niya agad yung..." Ciize motioned for me to come closer so I did.

"...virginity mo" bulong niya.

Agad naman akong nanlamig nang maalala kung paano siya nakipag-usap sa akin kanina. Was he flirting with me?

Parehas kaming napaiwas nang may lumipad na eyelash curler sa gawi namin. Shit.

"Oops." a short-haired girl stood up at maarteng dinampot ang curler sa desk ko.

Hindi manlang nag-sorry!

"Jan Hae. Bitch." Ciize introduced.

Natawa naman ako sa term nya. It's a fact, though.

"That's Tay Tawan together with his girlfriend, Mild. As I've said, Tay is their leader."

Napatango ako nang ituro niya yung dalawang naghahalikan kanina. Sila yung naabutan kong gumagawa ng milagro.

After a while, Off stood up and walked towards their direction. Nalaglag ang panga ko nang halikan nya din si Mild...sa harap ni Tay!

"Don't watch. Hayaan mo sila." Ciize pushed my face away from the scene. I can't believe it.

Tay looked unbothered. He even caressed Mild's back while she's kissing his own friend.

Threesome? Eww.

"First subject teacher wouldn't be here today so you're free to do everything that you want."

Napatingin ako sa harapan nang tumayo ang isang nakasalaming lalaki sa harapan.

"That's our class president, Newwie." Ciize told me.

"Hay salamat naman!"

Isang cute na lalaki ang tumayo at nagsimulang mag-inat. Wow, he's really cute pero agaw-atensyon din ang katabi niya. The blonde one.

"Prem Warut and Boun Noppanut. They're swimmers. Uhm and also, wag ka nang magtaka kung bigla nlang sila maglandian sa harap mo." Ciize informed me. as Boun wrapped his arms around Prem's shoulder.

"Bakit?" tanong ko.

"They're boyfriends." Puimek answered me. She's still busy with her notebooks kaya nagpasalamat nalang ako.

"Eww, Prig. I told you to rebond your hair na diba?"

I turned at the girly voice only to find the bitch at the corner of the room talking with a curly girl.

"I-I'm sorry, Jane. Ayaw kasi ni momm---"

"Freak." Jane stood up and left the room.

"Jana Ramida. Just, she's so maarte. Don't tallk to her nalang din." Ciize told me.

"That's Sing. He's kind naman pero laging seryoso." turo niya sa lalaking nagdala sa akin dito.

Sing, huh. Nice name.

"Mean and Kao. The bullies." she then pointed at the two boys who's watching something from their phones.

"Chimon, Nanon and Ohm. They're the jocks."

Napatingin naman ako sa isang direksyon. Yung isa ay tulog habang yung dalawa ay magkatabing nag-uusap sa gilid.

"Puimek, can I borrow your notes?" one handsome man approached our seats.

Nakasalamin din ito at blanko ang mukha. Tinitignan nya lang ako saglit bago umalis.

"That's Gun, he's our Top 1." Ciize introduced.

My lips formed an 'o' as I nodded. That's why.

"The one who is wearing a headphones is Win Metawin. He's rich, sya lagi taga-libre dito." Ciize smiled at me bago pumangalumbaba.

I sighed before roaming my eyes around the room, observing everyone. This section is weird. 

There's something wrong in here...or maybe I'm just being paranoid?
