LORELEI
SIR FRIEDRICH Rivera, the new English instructor and adviser of the Clarion in Clark High, stood before us. As my widened eyes lingered their gaze on him, Alistair's voice began ringing in my ears again. Everything he said about the person in front of me. Normally I would not feel slightly uncomfortable when facing him. But due to what I heard recently, naapektuhan na yata ang tingin ko sa kanya.
And that's making this unexpected encounter worse.
"Miss Rios? Are you okay?" tanong ni Sir Rich. "Why do you look pale?"
Nakatitig lang ako sa kanya habang pinapanood ko ang pagbukas at pagsara ng kanyang bibig.
May isang bagay sa Clark High na naging dahilan upang mag-resort siya sa karahasan.
He's on our side. That's why he gave you the hard drive as a gift... Because he wanted to help you.
Why couldn't I get Alistair's voice off my head?
"Gutom lang ho siya kaya ganyan ang itsura niya," natatawang palusot ni Jamie sabay siko sa akin. She showed her white teeth awkwardly. "Lori, kinakausap ka ni sir. Are you still with us?"
I repeatedly shook my head to shrug the thoughts pestering me right now. "Pasensya na, sir. Hindi kasi ako nakapag-breakfast kaya medyo mahina ang concentration ko ngayon."
Nakisakay na ako sa palusot ni Jamie para hindi siya mapahiya. Pero totoo namang hindi ako nakapag-almusal. I woke up a bit late this morning and I didn't have time to prepare food.
"Gano'n ba? Hindi ka dapat nagpapalipas ng gutom," tugon ni Sir Rich. "Breakfast is the most important meal of the day."
Ngumiti ako sa kanya. I'm well aware of that fact. Lagi ko nga 'yong sinasabi kay Loki kapag ayaw niyang kumain ng almusal na ipinrepare ko o ni Tita Martha. Pero matigas ang ulo niya kaya hindi niya ginagalaw minsan. "The brain works better in an empty," he always quotes Sherlock Holmes.
"May sasabihin ho ba kayo, sir?" tanong ko. I don't want to prolong this awkward moment.
"Yes!" He nodded. Humakbang pa siya palapit sa akin. Napaangat ang aking heel, akmang hahakbang ako paurong mula sa kanya. Mabuti't nakontrol ko ang sarili ko. He might find it strange. Why was my body reacting this way? Ganito ba ang epekto ng theory ni Alistair sa amin?
"I told you yesterday that I won't bug you about the publishing offer, right?" Sir Rich recalled. "But the editor-in-chief of BEYOND Publishing is going to visit Pampanga this week. I thought that you might want to meet him in person and ask him if you have any questions."
