'Good job Kierra -A'

mahinang basa ko sa note na nasa desk ko. So s/he is my classmate?

I look around until my eyes landed on Matt. Mattheus Adrian is his name.

Then what happened earlier came back to my head. 'You should cut off unworthy people out of your life Kierra'

Napatakip ako sa bibig dahil sa theory na nabubuo sa isip ko. Is it him?

I am still looking at Matt habang nakatakip pa rin ang kamay sa bibig. Bigla namang tumingin din siya sakin kaya umiwas agad ako ng tingin at umupo na.

'shocks siya ba?'

Binagabag ako ng tanong na yan sa buong klase. Kahit tapos na ang time ay binabagabag pa rin ako.

Mabagal akong nag ayos ng gamit dahil ako rin naman ng assigned na magpatay ng ilaw at maglock ng door kaya ayos lang. Noong nasiguro kong wala na ang mga kaklase ko ay pumunta ako agad sa may switch ng ilaw.

Papatayin ko na sana iyon pero bigla akong may nakita na maliit na notebook.

Simpleng itim lang iyon na cattleya notebook. Binuksan ko iyon para malaamn kung kanina.

'Mattheus Adrian Herrera'

Dali dali kong kinuha ang cellphone ko at inopen ang google docs kung saan nandoon ng number ng lahat ng kaklase ko. Agad kong tinignan ang number ni Matt at tinawagan.

'Matt!' nagulat kong sabi pagkatapos niyang sagutin.

'Who is this?'

'It's Kei. Did you left the school already?' nakailang segundo din bago umimik uli si Matt.

'Not yet.Why?' Ayos.

'Where are you?'

'In front of Diokno Building...but why?'

'Don't move an inch.I'll go there. You left something in the room i'll give it to you.' Mabilis kong sabi

'You can just give it tom—'

I ended the call. Bastos man pero I really have to settle what's on my mind para di na ako mabagabag.

After ilang minuto ng pagtakbo nakarating din ako sa building kung asan si Matt.

Inabot ko sa kanya ang notebook niya.

'Thank you, but you should've give it to me tomorrow.Instead of  running like that just to give it.'

'Well..." Sabi ko sakanya habang nakatingin sa kanya. I hope he is quick witted.

'Anything else?Do you have something to ask or tell me?'

Nice, he is indeed quick witted.

I pulled out the two tiny papers out of my bag and handed it to him.

'What am I gonna do about this?'

'Are you A?'

I asked him straightforwardly. He was silent for a moment then he speak.

'No' He said while looking at my eyes.

Why did he do that? It's like he's trying to prove that he is not lying, but if he said it's not him then fine.

'Okay. Thank you for your time. Have a safe trip home.' I said then I smiled on him.

Months passed. I didn't receive other letters from A after the second one. Finn and I became besties. Sofia hates me now. And Matt? nothing happened. He's still quite and he doesn't even throw me gaze unless needed.
