"Why are you taking too long?" My roommate said to me.

"Wait lang. May hinahanap lang ako. Na'san na ba yung cellphone ko? Hindi mo ba talaga napansin Miss?"

"Hindi nga. It's already late. I am hungry."

I sighed. My phone is nowhere to be found. Napaka-makakalimutin ko na. I can't remember where I put it.

"Suko na ako. I couldn't find it inside my backpack and in my things here in our faculty room. Where could it be?"

"Maybe you left it in our room. Doon mo nalang hanapin. Nagugutom na talaga ako New teacher. Just please."

"Fine. Let's go."

I grab my things and we rush out to that faculty room. The boys are already in the cafeteria.

Today is Friday and also our sweldo day. Pero hindi ko magawang matuwa katulad ng mga katrabaho ko. Wala pa man ay meron nang paglalagyan ang aking sweldo. Hindi ko pa man hawak ay ubos na ito dahil sa laki ng bayarin namin.

I am tired.

In the cafeteria, I just ordered vegetables and one cup of rice. Ito nalang kasi and afford ng pero ko. I scratched my forehead. Nothing new, I am still poor.

"Are you okay? Since you came here you are not talking." Math teacher said after few minutes of sitting at their table.

"I'm fine hehe." I replied.

I sighed again.

"Your phone." English teacher showed my phone.

"Bakit na sayo 'to?"

"Your student gave it to me. Naiwan mo raw sa classroom niyo."

I just shrugged. Thanks God hindi pala ito nawala. After that, I remained silent.

"Huy New teacher, okay ka lang?" PE teacher asked.

"Yeah hehe." I replied.

"Iniisip mo pa rin ba yung nangyari sa estudyante mo, New teacher?" P.E. teacher asked.

"Partly yes. It still haunts me every night. I can't sleep well because of that."

Every night, my pillow is the one who comforts me. I am always crying. English teacher said that I will definitely be used to it. He said those words without having second thoughts. Ano pa nga bang bago? He is a jerk.

Will I be used to it?

I doubt it. How will I be used to the deaths of the people around me? How will I be used on being broke? Kung mangyayari man ito ulit sa mga taong malapit sa akin, hindi ko alam kung anong mararamdaman ko.

Change is inevitable, so as death.

Until now, I am still asking why people are so greedy that they come up killing other people. Greediness in money, in affection, in attention, and even in love. They can kill for those things.

"Ilang araw na rin akong puyat guys. Haay. Mag-alala naman kayo." P.E. teacher said. I rolled my eyes mentally.

"Why? What happened?" Being the kindest person in this group, I replied. I laughed on my inner thought. Mabait naman talaga ako eh kumpara sa mga kasama ko haha. I am just kidding, in my mind haha.

"Haaay. Hanggang ngayon hindi ko pa rin mafigure out. Naguguluhan na ako. Hindi ko alam anong gagawin ko. Haaay. Ang hirap pala 'no?" He replied.

Is he experiencing some trials? The circle become serious than before. I can see that they are also worried.
