Chapter 2: You?!

NICE'S POV

On the way to school di ko mapigilan ang mag hikab, inaantok pa ako. Di na ako nag abalang takpan pa ang bibig ko sa pag hikab nakakatamad iangat ang kamay kong nsa bulsa ko, saka ano naman ngayon kung mag hikab ako, lahat naman ng tao nag hihikab kaya wala ng bago dun.

"hey dude. Whats with that face of yours?" Kris told to me with a smirk nang magka salubong kami sa front gate ng campus.

"It's none of your business dude, I don't have room for your teasing y' know." tsk. Inis kong sambit sa kanya.

"hahaha. Suplado mo tol! Meron ka bang dalaw ngayon?.. Ahahaha"

"baliw ka din no!, dalaw ka dyan sapakin kaya kita!" pagbibiro ko when all of a sudden a girl came and cling to me.

The hell!, tigas din ng muka nito pre!

"Ano ba!. Let me go..." asik ko as I push her away, I know that women are fragile and they should be treated carefully and men should be gentle in women, but she don't deserve to treat like a princess, she's not wort for it.

"why Nice hmp.. wanna go out with me later?.. How about going to mall or.." sa inis ko halos itulak ko na ng buong lakas ang kamay nyang naka pulupot sa braso ko. "AHH!... What's the matter Nice?" naka nguso nya pang sambit.

Tsk. What a brat, kala mo naman bagay sa kanya ang ngumuso nag mu-mukha lang syang pato sa ginagawa nya. Ang mga tulad nito ang kinaiinisan ko sa lahat. Sino ba tong babae na to at parang kabute kung sumulpot at bigla na lang akong niyakap.

"Will you stop clinging on me and who the hell are you by the way, also I don't have time going out with you.. You understand!!" I roared to that girl with a scary face then the girl nod and run away, with a scared face. Tsk. Mabuti naman at umalis na sya.

"Ahahahahahaha.. That was funny dude , you see that girl's face.. Ahahaha she look like a child who saw a scary man.. Ahahahaha.. You really are popular to girls.." ang tawang tawa na sambit ni Kris na talagang napapa hawak pa sa tyan nya sa sobrang tuwa at amusement.

"Nah.. I hate those kind of girls , what a flirt, all of them" kibit balikat kong sambit.

All of them, that's why I hate girls from the very beginning but on the contrary not all of them, yeah I'm popular, but hell!, I don't like them, and I don't see myself being committed to anyone, kahit kelan di pa yun pumasok sa utak ko, and never it will.

Hindi naman sa woman hater ako or may pinag huhugutan pero talagang ayaw ko lang, nadami na kasi akong nakita at nakilala na iniwan at niloko ng mga babae, from our helpers, maids at maging sa mga family friends. Kung hindi gold diggers, kabit mga manloloko, that's why namulat na ako na womens have two faces.

If there is one woman that I know na hindi manloloko ay yun ang mommy ko and she was the only woman who will be in my life aside from my grandmothers.

"oh dude, don't be like that, being serious doesn't fit you. Hahaha.." di maubos-ubos tawang sambit ni Kris "oops.. That's a joke don't be mad.. You will became ugly like that man" tawang tawa pa rin nyang sambit habang ang hintututro ay naka turo sa isang may katandaang lalaki sa di kalayuan "hahaha.." tawa pa nya. Hindi rin dakilang mapang husga ang isang to, ano?.

"Hey Kris you look happy, something happen? Lutang ka pa rin ba kasi sinagot ka na ni Cherry" sambit ni Hanz na kararating lang.

"hindi no!, nag sink in na yun sa utak ko!" proud na proud naman nyang sambit.

As if I know he was just being like that because of Cherry, hes courting her for god knows, eight months! And now they are official.

"Hey , Nice , Kris good morning.." says James as he came towards us.

"What's good in morning. Huh?" I said to them tsk nasira lang araw ko dahil sa babaeng yun na mukha namang hipon.

"Looks like someone woke up on the wrong side of his bed, right Kris?" asked Vincent who also came

Damn this scumbags making fun out of me..

"hahaha.. He really is.. Look at him he look so pissed.." isa pang banat nito ni Kris sasapakin ko na ito.

Sinamaan ko naman sila ng tingin. "Would you stop pissing me. You're making my day worse.." inis kong sambit saka ako nauna ng mag lakad sa kanila, mga ugok na yun.

Then I bump to a girl that looks like she running on a marathon contest

"Owww.. Hey you, are you nuts!" asik ko na naman , ilang beses bang masisira ang araw ko sa umagang ito?

Then I was cut off when this girl spoke.

"Mianhamnida." she said while she is bowing then she run off.

( Translation: Mianhamnida - i'm sorry )

'huh! What she says. Miyan?.. Miyan,What?' I ask my self in my mind while rubbing my head.. Tsk pakialam ko ba sa alien language na yun.

"OOOWWW that must hurt" they say in chorus maliban kay James.

"Let's go we are going to be late." this guys was all scumbags except for James

"But guys do you know what she said? Mi-Miyan, Miyan What?" James tanong nya bigla

"THE HELL WE KNOW!!!" Vincent,Kris and Hanz said in chorus.

"kailangan ba na sumigaw pa? Hindi naman ako bingi!" balik na asik nya sa tatlo.

Kahit kailan talaga ang ingay ng mga iyon.

"hey!, Claude wait for me!" I shouted as I saw him walk through the hallway, he was Hanz twin brother, though sya ang panganay by just a few minute.

Naka ngiti naman nya akong nilingon. "oh, Nice kayo pala" masigla nya pang bati.

"ay hindi baka sila!" I said sarcastically, yan tuloy sa kanya ko naibunton ang inis ko.

Masyado kasing tahimik tong si Claude, he only spoke when you talk to him, kabaligtaran ni Hanz na baliw.

"tsk. Tara na nga, ayokong masermonan na naman ni Miss. Menopause." that's what I used to call our adviser, dahil daig nya pa ang nag me-menopause sa kasungitan.

KASEY'S POV

Ahh I'm gonna be late.. I need to run as fast as I could.

When i accidentally bump to a guy

"Owww.." that hurts.. Tss this man..

"Mianhamnida" sambit ko ng bahagya akong yumukod upang humingi ng paumanhin bago ako nag mamadaling tumakbo palayo.

'ah Kasey what are you thinking why you spoke Korean, to think he would understand you. Ahh! , why am I thinking of it, it's already done as if he will recognize me' inis na inis at frustrated kong usal sa utak ko.

NICE'S POV

Pagka pasok na pagka pasok namin sa classroom ay naabutan namin ang mga kakalse namin na nag ku-kumpulan sa harapan ng blackboard, ano na namang meron?.

"huh? New sitting arrangement" kunot noong sambit ni Kris

"oh! Look James is next to Denise , woah!" Hanz exclaimed kaya naman napa lingon ako sa kanya. "The top student and the second one sitting next to each other aside from that ... look, Kris is next to Cherry the Fashionista in our class, looks like exciting on what are going to happen right, Kris? hihihi... magkakatabi ang lovebirds natin.." naka ngising sambit ni Hanz, he is definitely teasing Kris.

While I was just looking at them I noticed something that caught my eye and attention.

"huh!" me and Vincent reacted in chorus..

"Is there anything wrong Nice,Vincent?" nag tataka at nag aalalang tanong ni James as he move towards me and Vincent to see what we are looking at.

"Okamoto?" Vincent said na nakakunot pa ang noo matapos basahin ang nakasulat sa blackboard

"It means that we had a transfer student this year, and it was Japanese i'm looking forward to it." he continued

We are all busy looking at the blackboard habang si Claude, ayun umupo na sa bago nyang pwesto. Talk about the cold guy. He really hates being around with lot of people or noisy places, sobrang kaiba sa kakambal nyang maligalig at maingay.

"i wonder too, but lets just let it be," komento ni Hanz na narito na pala sa tabi namin.

"Nandito na si Ma'am, go to your proper sit already" one of our classmate shouted kaya naman like a lightning we headed to our new desk.

Our teacher scanned the whole room first before she start.

"Good Morning class, I know it was so sudden to change the sitting arrangement, and i also knew that you guys already noticed that we have a new student and here she is,please come inside Ms.Okamoto , She came from Japan so please be nice to her" he said as she gestured to that Ms. Okamoto to come inside the room.

And while our teacher was speaking in front I don't listen at all , all I knew was the transfer student was a girl.

"good morning everyone I'm Kasey Okamoto and I'm from Japan, it's a pleasure to meet you, hope we get along well" the girl spoke, halata sa tono nya na nahihiya at naiilang sya.

Huh? Teka lang I remembered this voice, and I was right, because when I look at front I saw her, the girl from before, the one who bumped at me and said weird words that I didn't know at all.

"You!" we said in chorus while pointing at each other.

KASEY'S POV

I'm nervous, i don't know whom my classmates are, or if i can get along with them well, or if i can make friends with them. I was worried that I might freak out later on and then I might scare them if I did. That's what's going on in my head while entering the classroom.

Our homeroom teacher told me to come inside and to introduce myself in front.

"good morning everyone i'm Kasey Okamoto from Japan, it's please to meet you, hope we get along well" I introduce my self.

After that I hear them whisper. Then I saw a familiar face, a face that caught my eyes, the guy from before, the one that i bumped into.

"You!" we said in chorus while pointing at each other.

"huh? You know each other?" Ms. Ask us confusedly.

"hah! No ma'am , i just only meet him a while ago, on my way here" taranta kong sambit.

"ah i see, you can go now to your designated desk, and it was besides Mr.Tolentino"

Huh? Besides him. No! i hate it. I know I don't have any right and reason to hate him but I hate being with boys and I'm not good being with boys, but what can i do, yun lang naman ang bakanteng upuan. At yun dun din naman talaga ang dapat na pwesto ko.

"so now that Ms.Okamoto already introduce her self, lets start the lesson"

"Hi i'm Vincent, nice to meet you" sambit ng katabi ko, gwapo sya lalo na at naka ngiti sya.

He even offer a hand. I guess he wants to shake hands with me as a sign of greetings.

"uhhmm hi I'm Kasey" I told him shyly as we shake hands. Ok, I can do it I'm gonna be used to it soon.

"I know you already told that in front, by the way let me introduce you our classmates. Here beside me is Claude then Hanz, in front of him is James, in front of me is Denise, in front of you is Kris and beside him is Cherry, and that man beside you was Nice" he told me while he was pointing at each as he recite their names, looks like Vincent was a good guy, so there's no need for me to be afraid of him.

"NICE?" pinanlalakihan ng mga mata kong tanong

"yeah . Nice was his name"

"Mr.Vincent, are you listening?"our teacher asked with a scary tone

"a-a-ah yes Ma'am," Vincent said

"You can continue introducing your classmates to Miss Okamoto later after my class, right now i want you all to pay attention to our class."

"Yes ma'am" we both said

"Tsk. So noisy." Nice told in a cold but arrogant tone.

I don't why, but I'm starting to be annoyed at him.

After that the whole day was fun. I am able to know each of my classmates name and have a chat with them but most of the time i am with Cherry and Denise, we actually became friends already. Marami akong nalaman tungkol sa kanila in a very short span of time, like Cherry; girlfriend sya ni Kris and si Denise na girlfriend naman ni James, i had a lot of fun with these two,unlike the man who was sleeping all day during class. His name doesn't fit him, NICE, what a beautiful name he has. But i noticed he was silent all day, nag sasalita lang sya pag kasama nya sila Vincent at saka may pagka suplado din sya.
