ASTRID

Natapos na ang little debate namin pero nakatingin parin sakin ng masama si Hailey, tsk as if I care. Naputol ang matalim nyang tingin ng dumating na ang prof namin. He's late and oh? He's my homeroom teacher before. Remembering people is not usually my type but his clothes makes me remind him. Pink everywhere.

Tumayo naman silang lahat maliban samin ni Kyle.

Nakangiti namang ginala ng prof ang kanyang paningin at huminto kay Kyle, napatango nalang siya at tuminigin ulit sa iba. Hindi rin nagtagal ng huminto ang paningin nya sakin, kumunot ang noo nya sabay tingin sa kamay ko. Nakita ko namang napatawa siya kaya napakunot ang noo ko.

Tsk so he had the guts huh?

I mentally rolled my eyes because I know what will happen next.

"Ms, Bernardo stand up," I knew it. Nakita ko naman ang pag aalala sa mukha ni Dahlia at ang pangaasar sa mga ngisi ni Hailey. Nakita ko rin na napatingin sakin ang mga protectors maliban kay Kyle. Well he doesn't care at all.

I lazily stand up and look at him with a bored expression. Take that sir.

"Why are you not standing?" he said while taking a glance at my ring then smirk. Tsk.

"I'm just tired sir." I emphatize the last words which makes my classmates burst into laughters. Our prof face became pale and shoot me death stares.

"Ms, Bernardo? Manners please." he said and come closer to me and spit on my face. Gross.

Dahlia face became white and Hailey laugh hard. Napailing naman ang mga protectors habang sinalampak nalang ni Kyle ang earphones nya. Good thing.

"Manners? Should I'll be the one thought you that? You have no manners sir." I said and stare at him. I didn't know that our school hiring teachers like this.

"Watch your mouth Ms, Bernardo-" I didn't finish his words.

"What if I don't?" I said mockingly.

"I'll make you pay." I almost burst into laugh but I remain my face.

I just sit down and wipe my face with my scarf. He smirk at tumalikod na para magturo.

"Okay class, Richard Darez is my name but you can call me Ms. Rachel," nakangiti nyang pagpapakilala.

"So let's start our lesson."

Sure thing sir, but I will make sure that this is your last lesson.

* * *

Natapos ang lesson namin na puro pacute lang ang ginawa nya. Nagpapansin sa mga lalaki lalo na't sa heir.

Lumabas na silang lahat habang inaayos ko pa ang mga gamit ko. Nang matapos ako ay lumabas na ako kaso may biglang humila ng braso ko.
"Astrid? Let's lunch together." Dahlia said while smiling. Nakita ko din na kasama nya ang iba pa naming kaklase. Inirapan naman ako ni Hailey samantalang nginitian naman ako ng iba.

"I have to do something important, susunod na lang ako." Napakunot naman ang noo nya pero hindi na siya nagtanong. Aalis na sana ako ng biglang may nagsalita dahilan para matigilan ako.

"Important? What kind of important Ms. Bernardo?" he said emphatizing the word 'important'.

I remain my expression and face him.

"I just have to call someone, Heir," I said not giving him a glance. I saw him smirk and turn his back on us. Nagsimula na siyang maglakad na sinundan naman ng iba maliban kay Dahlia.

"Do you need me to accompany you? Baka maligaw ka kasi eh," sabi nya habang tinitignan ako. I just sigh and answer her.

"No, I'll be fine. Susunod naman ako eh," tumango nalang siya at nagsimula ng tumakbo para makasunod kila Kyle.

Tumalikod na din ako at sinumulang maglakad. Actually I won't make a call, I just need to finish something, like life? Nah too boring.

After minutes passed I finally reach my aunt office. I lazily open the door without knocking. She'll get used to it someday.

"Auntie," mukhang nagulat naman siya dahil napatalon pa siya sa upuan  nya.

"Caily, what are you doing here? You suppose to have a lunch with your friend right?" tsk nothing's change. Madaldal pa din siya.

"I don't have a friend and to answer your question, I'm here to ask some information." napa-taas ng kilay naman siya.

"Information? Sorry but the students informations are classified,"

"Teachers, I need teachers info." I said and she raised her eyebrows in me.

"And why is that my little devil niece?" she said mockingly me.

"I just need to see something, hand it to me." she just sigh and give the folders.

I grab it and started to browse.

There's so many teachers here. Some are in the retire age and the rest are in the middle age.

I search and search until I finally found what I'm looking at.

Name: Richard Darez.
Age: 29 years old.
Birthday: November 21, 1990

Basic information? Tsk. I immediately grab the folder and throw it to my auntie desk. She almost shout in shock and shoot me glares when she recover.

She get the folder and read it. Her eyebrows meet and her forehead crease. After reading it she place it to her desk and face me.

"So what now?"

"I want you to fire him."

Mukhang nagulat naman sya sa sinabi ko. Well I don't care.

"Dahil ba ito sa nangyari kanina?" nagtatakang sabi nya.

Hindi na ako magtataka kung bakit alam nya yun. Marami syang mata at tenga sa labas at loob ng campus, so it's not impossible for her to know that.

"I'm not that immature, auntie. I just saw a crest inside his t-shirt when we're arguing earlier. It's the same simbol that I've seen with the sniper man." I explain to her and yes, I've seen it again. When we're arguing earlier I accidentaly saw the crest, so instead of fighting back I just sit down and think about it.

"If that's the case, I'm going to investigate it and fire him immediately." I just nod and started to walk towards the door when she call my name, again.

"Wait, Caily, are you taking your meds? You need those tablet a'right?" tumango nalang ako at tuluyan ng tumaliko sa kanya para lumabas.

Naglalakad ako ngayon papuntang cafeteria para magtanghalian at makita ang misyon ko.

When I enter the cafe, I saw familiar faces. Nagsimula akong hanapin sila Dahlia na hindi naman ako nahirapan. Nasa gitnang parte sila kung saan ko sila una nakita.

I walk towards their table and when I finally reach it, I sit beside Kyle because that's the only unoccupant seat.

Napatingin naman ng masama sakin si Hailey dahil doon. Ngumiti naman sakin si Dahlia habang yung iba tinignan lang ako at kumain na ulit. Katabi ko si Dahlia sa kanan at si Kyle sa kaliwa.

Napatingin ako kay Dahlia ng may nilagay siyang pagkain sa harap ko.

"I already order for you, buti nalang dumating ka akala ko hindi eh." Natatawang sabi nya sakin. Tumango nalang ako sakanya at tinignan ang mga pagkain.

One adobo, one and a half rice, one soda, and a strawberry cake. I raise my brows with that cake. I hate strawberries.

Napansin siguro ni Dahlia ang itsura ko kaya napatingin sya sa tinitignan ko.

"Oh I forgot, chocolate pala ang paborito mo hehe. Ako nalang kakain nyan." sabi nya at kinuha ang cake sa harap ko.

Nagsimula na akong kumain na ilang minuto lang ay natapos na din ako. Magpupunas na sana ako ng bibig ng may isang platito sa harap ko.

One sliced chocolate cake.

My forehead crease and take my glance to the owner.

I saw him drinking his shake and wipe his mouth.

When he notice that all the attention are in him, he raised his brows and ask.

"What?" he said while looking at them.

"Dre, may sakit ka ba?" Jean said and went to Kyle. He touch his forehead and his neck.

"No, you're not sick."

"What's your problem?" Kyle asked Jean while fixing his tie.

"Dre, you just gave the chocolate away, are you sure your ok?" he ask, again.

"Psh, I'm just full." he said and look at me.

"Eat that, don't waste foods." I just nod and eat the chocolate cake. I hear Hailey gasp and Dahlia says 'yiee'

What? Masama na bang kumain ng chocolate cake? Tsk and besides, he gave it to me.

After I finish eating my favorite chocolate cake, I face Kyle and said.

"Thanks, Kyle." he look shocked but maintain his posture.

"What?"

"I said, thanks Kyle." I repeated, he look at me and then sigh.

"Ok, welcome."

I guess, the plan has started.
