Unknown species stared at us as Franco and I waited for a cab. Their eyes were glued to us as they whispered. I should cut their sinful tongues to shut them up. I'm aware that we were wearing uniforms, and it's very unusual that a student would stroll at this time. We should be at school, studying. Why do they care?

As soon as we arrived at the school, I went to the SSG office. I want to talk to Dee and clarify some things. I silently rejoiced when I saw him. He is busy flipping pages in a book.

"Hey!" I nervously laughed and sat on his table to get his attention. He stopped flipping a page for a second, then continued. Hindi naman siya nagbabasa.

"What do you want?" he queried in a firm voice, seriously staring at me. I gulped and composed myself.

"Let's talk," I skeptically said, playing with my fingers.

"Ehem!" Saber emitted a fake cough three times. I mentally rolled my eyeballs heavenward. I will rip his throat later or sooner.

"Saber, get out!" Dee ordered him with full authority.

"Yes, President!" he replied in a loud voice, and he even stood stiffly and saluted like a proud soldier before he left.

"What is it?" His voice is calm, unlike earlier, and his serious aura has turned into a tranquil state. It took me a minute before I could speak while he patiently waited for my response.

"Are you mad at me?" I utter, unsettled, and divert my gaze to something. Hindi ko matagalan ang mga titig niya. Para akong hinihigop ng mga mata niya.

"Why do you ask?" He answered my question with another question.

I skeptically said, "I just wanted to know." I played with my fingers and bowed a little bit so our eyes wouldn't meet.

"Do you feel uncomfortable? Nervous?" he inquired. I can see in my peripheral vision that he crossed his legs. I don't know if I'm going to answer his pathetic questions. I slightly nodded and bit my lower lip.

"Do you feel discomfort when I'm around?" he then asked, staring at my lips.

"N-No..." I stammered.

"Are you mad at me? Kasi 'nung nasa park tayo ang sama ng tingin mo sa akin tapos hindi mo pa ako kinausap," I spoke and took a deep breath.

He's being distant and withdrawn from me. Why? Did I do something wrong that made him mad and turned him off?

"Iniiwasan kita," he said, imparting directly.

"W-Why? May nagawa ba akong mali?" I asked, holding my tears. Why the hell am I being too emotional?

"Wala... 'Yun kasi ang alam kong tama besides he already warned me," he sighed and smiled. "I like you. Hindi ko alam kung ano 'tong nararamdaman ko. It's my first time to feel like this aside from madness. You are the only person who makes me feel excited whenever I see you," he said sincerely, yet his face was emotionless.

"Who is he?" I asked. I'm trying to pretend that I'm fine, but my voice is shaking.

"You may now leave." He is back to his typical self, emotionless and inconsiderate.

"No! I won't leave! Tell me!" I went mad, and my tears were running down my cheeks. Who is he? Who the hell is he referring to?

"Tss! Ako na lang ang aalis," he hissed, leaving me alone.
