Kianna's POV

Lalaine's words is still lingering in my head. What is the reason? Why would such reason will question my identity? I mean, I don't have any relation with her? Bakit madadamay ako sa rason na yun? After that talk, napagalitan nga ako ni kuya sa sobrang tagal ko daw. Even Calvin who's my classmate in the next class give me some shouting. Close ba kami at kung makasigaw sya saakin e wagas?

He's been following me since that day. Nakikisabay na din s'yang kumain saamin. Kuya doesn't seem to mind at all. Me and Lalaine? We're good. We rarely talk because she's always with Dylan. Imbes na si Lalaine ang manghahatak, s'ya pa itong nanghatak. Just like the last time. We're busy chitchatting about things when Dylan showed up. He pulled Lalaine and tells me that they have somewhere to go. Napatunganga na lang ako sa ginawa nya. It's not like, I will steal his girlfriend from him.

"Kianna!"

Napapikit na lang ako ng marinig ko ang boses na 'yon. I was silently walking in the corridor, hoping that no one will interrupt my peace of mind when he suddenly calls me. Tumigil ako sa paglalakad at nilingon ko s'ya. Hindi ko alam kung bakit dikit s'ya ng dikit. Girls in the hallway throws deadly glares at me, and I hate it. Calvin got a "fan club" in school. Hindi ko alam kung bakit meron syang ganun. Yes, he's good looking and no one can argue with that.

"Ano nanaman kailangan mo?" mataray kong tanong sakaniya. I can feel the stares at my back. It feels like they're throwing daggers in my direction. His bubbly eyes suddenly become a pair of thin line, he seems irritated. His aura also changed.

"Let's go." he said and pulled me. At first, I didn't know if he's mad at me or what. Then I noticed his stares. Is he throwing dagger looks to those students?

Nakarating kami sa classroom na parang masama pa din ang mood nya. His grip suddenly tightens, it seems like he's losing his temper. I suddenly feel a sting of pain in my wrist. He looked at me when he hears me wince. I felt a shiver in my spines when I met his eyes.

"C-Calvin..." I able to muttered "... calm down." I was more concerned by his emotions than my wrist being crumpled. When realization hits him, he slowly let go of my hand.

"I... I'm sorry. I lost my cool." He said apologetically and I just smiled at him. He seems shocked, well, me too.

"It's fine, just try to calm down next time." sabi ko habang minamasahe ang wrist ko.

Dumiretso na ako sa upuan ko, which is next to his.

"What happen to your wrist? Ba't namumula?"

Lalaine suddenly question when she sees me. Napansin nya pa yun ha? I mean, it's not that red, it's somehow pinkish. I just told her that it's nothing. Pinakiusapan ko din sya na 'wag na lang banggitin kela kuya, kasi ayaw ko na mag-alala pa sila. Nakaupo na din si Calvin sa tabi ko. He still feels down, maybe because of what happen.

Hindi na din kami nakapag-usap dahil dumating na ang prof. namin. It was all about psychology, and I didn't understand a single thing. Maybe I'll just study about it some time. Lunch break comes. I thought he'll come with us, but he didn't. Di ko na lang pinansin at baka may aasikasuhin lang.

"Hindi sumama si Calvin?" kuya asked when he notice that the guy is not here. Umiling na lang ako, kahit gusting-gusto ko syang barahin. Nagpatuloy na lang din kami sa pag kain. Blue and Dylan have the same route, while me and Lalaine part ways. Papunta ako sa hall naming mga maj. It's been days since we were sort out, pero ngayon lang kami magkakaroon ng klase. Ang sabi nila e, kararating lang raw ng professor namin.

Galad Hall. This is what they call it. I don't know what's special about it, except from the fact that you can't enter here if you're not a maj. Unang beses ko lang din pumunta dito kaya nangangapa pa ako. Bago pa man ako tuluyang magkandaligaw-ligaw dito ay nakita ko si Calvin. I called his name, but it seems like he can't hear me. Pero mukhang sinasadya nya na talaga ang hindi pagpansin saakin nang makailang beses ko ng tinatawag ang pangalan nya. I walk faster, para maabutan at makasabay ko sya.
