"Do you smoke?" natatawang tanong niya sa akin kahit alam niyang hindi. Pagilid ko siyang sinulyapan nang ilabas niya ang sigarilyo at mabilis na sinindihan sa harapan ko. Sinasadya niya ito para ipakita sa akin na walang kahit sino ang magbabawal sa kanya sa school na ito. Agaw pansin ang mga biloy niya na lumabas nang hithitin niya ang dulo ng sigarilyo. Kahit nagsasalita, kumakain, o kahit kaonting kibot lang ng labi niya'y lumalabas iyon. Gamit ang mga daliri'y sinuklay niya papunta sa likod ang pawisan niyang buhok. Ang manipis na gintong kwintas niya'y kumikinang sa tirik na araw. Nagbuntong hininga ako at pilit pinapakalma ang sarili. I don't like people breaking school rules that's why I hate him. He's the best example of bad boy. A rebel. He's teaching other students to do wrong. "Breaking a few rules won't hurt your grades, Miss. If you want to taste, I can give you some," tukoy niya sa sigarilyo na wala akong balak tikman. Warning: Read At Your Own Risk! EXPLICIT AND MATURE CONTENT❗❗❗ Series 7 of 8
