Chapter 2

I run as fast as I can.

I don't care if I bumped to anyone ang importane maabutan ko yung report namin.

I know it's impossible since half an hour na akong late but still.. sis have faith so.

When I was already in front of my classroom, I took a deep breath muna before I enter kasi naman deads talaga ako neto. And you know that feeling na I'm more afraid of krystal pa than to my teacher? Hayss.. It's krystal kase.

I really do hope she's not that super mad at me like she'll gonna hear me out first before anything else worst could happen hehe Baka kasi she really mean what she said earlier that she will punch me right to my beautiful face. Wag naman sana.

I opened the door and everyone are looking in my direction. Including her.

"Good morning ma'am" I greeted my teacher with a smile

"Miss Mondia! What time your class starts?" Teacher Jane asked me

"9:00 am ma'am" I answered back with my head down

"What time is it now?"

I checked my wrist watch and it's "9:36 ma'am"

"You're more than half an hour late!"

"I'm sorry ma'am"

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to your partner instead" as she mentioned the word partner I automatically looked at her direction.

She's staring at me for god knows how long.

Swear if stares could kill.. I'm already dead by now on how the way she looks at me with those eyes full of dagger.

I mouthed sorry but she only rolled her eyes in response.

"Go find your sit now Miss mondia" teacher jane demanded "I don't want you to be late again like this. Understood?"

"Yes ma'am. Understood"

"Good"

I quickly went to my desk.

"As for you Miss Baran, thank you for the report. You may now take your sit" teacher jane said to krystal

She smiled at her then she went back to her desk which is just in front of me.

"Okay class. So now blah blah blah..."

I pulled the hem of her sleeves but di niya ako pansin so I did that again until napatingin siya sideways signaling that I got her attention now.

"Sorry" I apologised

She heard me but she chose to ignore my apology by turning her head towards in front and she continue to listen to our teacher.

I sighed. Maybe later. I said in mind.

-

"Krystal wait!"

Our class with teacher jane ended na already and now I'm chasing her here at the hallways.

Ayaw akong pansinin.

"Krystal I said I'm sorry"

Thank God she finally stop walking.

She turn to face me then she crossed her arms while looking at me with her poker face on.

I sighed deeply "Again, I'm sorry" I apologised for nth times already.

She sighed before she said something to me "What were you thinking huh?" She questioned me still with no expression

"Kung di to importante sayo pwes sa akin oo" she said "Kailangan ko ng magandang grado para sa scholarship ko" she added "Naiintindihan mo ba yun?"

"Yes I do understand that's why I'm sorry"

"You understand naman pala eh so bakit pa kailangan mangyari to?" I'm about to answer her pero may sinabi pa siya "palibhasa kasi anak mayaman ka di mo na kailangan mamroblema pagdating sa pera"

I just stay quiet while she's talking. Wala naman kasi akong masabi sa mga pinagsasabi niya eh.

"Good thing I took a copy of our report pano na lang kung wala ako nun? Di sana nga-nga tayo?" She's really pissed at me talaga

She sighed again.

"Bat ka ba kasi late?" She asked softly reason para iangat ko ulo ko

"Uhmm.."

"Babe!" Someone called me

He walked pass by krystal and went straight at me then he kissed me on my cheeks which made me look at krystal direction.

"Oh hey krystal" he greeted her

She just nod her head and averted her gaze from me to somewhere as she shake her head slowly out of disbelief.

"I didn't saw you earlier. Where were you?" My boyfriend george ask me

"Uhh.. uhmm.." before I get to finish my sentence she just turn her back to me and started to walk away.

I just follow her with my gaze as she walks away from me.

I sighed.

"Hey babe" George called me out "are you okay?"

"Yeah. It's just.. something happened but it's nothing though" I tried to convince him

"You sure?"

"Yeah" I tried to fake a smile "Actually I need to go to the cafeteria. I'm super hungry"

"Okay then, let's go"

-

"1 2 3 4... 1 2 3 4..."

"Other side naman!" The dance instructor shouted

We're having our dance practiced now in the theathre room

"Left, right, left, pak pak pak papak"

We're having a dance performance this coming foundation day namin and isa ako sa mga napiling sumayaw sa class namin.

"For the first 32 counts same lang yung steps so easy lang to memorize it"

Ipeperform namin to infront of everybody kaya dapat galingan namin.

It's not that I'm good at dancing marunong lang ako hehe.

"There's no reason for you not to know the step kasi basic lang naman binigay ko sa inyo" the instructor added

As we practiced the steps dama ko na yung pagod. Ilang segundo pa ay binigyan kami ng time magpahinga so what I did is umupo muna ako.

I took my bottled water then uminom when I suddenly feel a little dizzy.

I feel like spinning

"Thea okay ka lang?" I heard sarah asking me pero di na ako makasagot

And then I passed out.
