"Why is she with that freak?"

"Omo! Lumevel sya sa isang weirdo na yan?!"

"Goodness Queen Helena, why her? Sana ako nalang!"

"Kinulam nya siguro si kwin."

"Gaaadd!! Are you freaking serious?!"

"Nah. I think she's just that nice na even nerds, she treated them as her friends."

"Aww! She has a beautiful soul."

"I'm stanning the real queen!"

I almost rolled my eyes as I overheard them gossiping about my dear friend who's now beside me. She heard it too, I think, since she's all smile. Of course, people were praising her being a good Samaritan, who wouldn't want that right? If only they knew.

Anyway, I'm not here to deal with nonsensical things. "It seems that you're enjoying." I commented. She glances at me and smiles. "Am I?" Ah, humble but keep trying hun. "Ito pa oh, kain ka. Masarap 'to promise." Alok nya sa iba pang pagkain na nakalatag sa ibabaw ng lamesa. If I wasn't put you on a spell, I might think you're just playing. I shrugged and stood up leaving her hanging.

Narinig kong sabay na nagsinghapan ang ibang nakapansin sa nangyari. I can even hear them blabbering how rude of me. I don't care.

"T-teka Maggie! Wait up! 'To naman, nang iwan ka agad e." Maggie? Nilingon ko sya ng nakakunot ang noo. Who's Maggie? Ako ba? Ngumiti sya at tumawa. Inunat ng bahagya ang salubong kong kilay. I almost shoved her hands kung di ko lang napigilan. "Ayan, inis ka na naman. Tsk. Tara na nga lang." Aniya at hinatak ang kamay ko palabas ng canteen.

"Aww, she's just too kind for that nerd."

"Kinulam nya nga talaga si kwin!"

"Abangan natin yan later girls."

"Kailangan nya yata ng lesson."

"Bakit pala di ka kumain? Wala kang gana?" Even if I'm afar, I can still hear them. "I don't eat human food." nahinto sya at naguguluhang tiningnan ako. After that tumawa sya ng pilit. "Weird. Ano palang mga kinakain mo?" I don't remember na may kinakain ako. Hindi naman ako nakakaramdam ng gutom. Seeing the outcome of my experiments satisfy me. And that's the only thing I want for now.

"I never did." Pinanliitan nya ako ng mata. Of course, who would believes me? "Palabiro ka pala Maggie." Aniya at nag-iwas ng tingin. Her hand was shaking. It seems that she's a bit scared. I'm serious but she's taking it as a joke. Although my face said otherwise, I think she gets it and she's now afraid of me. She finds me weird. I smiled and touch her shoulder, she flinched. "Don't take it seriously." I assured.

"Ikaw kasi e, pinakaba mo ako. Alam mo bang takot ako sa mga myths and creatures? I know they didn't exist but I'm still am." Oh, how unfortunate, you just happened to have befriended one and she's right in front of you. "You don't have to. They exist or not, still they can't harm you." Unless that's me. Dahan dahan syang tumango at muling ngumiti.

A cold breeze from Zephyrus, a guardian of the wind, enveloped my whole being, whispering my ears saying someone is coming. Wala sa sariling napalingon ako sa paligid until I saw him once again.

Sa ilalim ng puno sa tagong parte ng benches, nakapamulsa at seryosong nakatingin sa akin.

"Alam ko naman yun. Tsk, tara na nga lang, malate pa tayo sa last class e." nilingon ko sya at tinanguan. Muli kong nilingon ang lalaki kanina, he disappeared again, just like that day.
