Hindi na ako naka response pa sa sinabi ni Ralph, I just chose to remain silent hindi narin siya nag salita he even bowed his head on the arm rest of the chair.
 
Is he sleeping?
 
“Psst” pag tawag ni kelly saakin, napatingin naman ako sakanya, and she motion na pumunta daw muna ako sa tabi niya, therefore I stand and take a step towards her, isang upuan lang ang pagitan namin.
 
“Are you guys in something or what?” she instantly ask pagkarating ko sa vacant seat na katabi niya.
 
“What? N-no” I said, di sigurado kasi naman I have feelings kay Ralph pero diko alam kung may feelings din siya though he complemented me last week.
 
“Im not convince Avie” kelly said na may nanunuksong tingin. I sigh in defeat.
 
“Okay okay, w-well I have feelings for him, b-but I didn’t know he feel the same way.” I said
 
“Good Morning Everyone” our teacher enters the room, kaya naman bumalik na ako sa upuan ko, napatingin pa ako sa pwesto nila tanya and she suddenly roll her eyes at me.
 
“Dean Castillo mentioned that, there’s a new student here may I know who you are? And kindly introduce yourself in front” the teacher said.
 
Tumayo naman ako kaagad, the teacher give me a wide smile therefore I replied with a wide smile also.
 
“Good Morning Everyone, Good Morning Ma’am I am Avierelle Montero, 17 years old from New York High” I simple said, everyone is smiling at me except Tanya and her friends and Ralph as well.
 “So, we may know the reason for the sudden change of school?” Ma’am ask, I just nod and smile.
 
“My grandpa mandate my daddy to manage our growing business here in the Philippines so that we moved in” I answer.
 
“Thank you Ms. Montero, by the way I am Mrs. Constasia and I’ll be your adviser throughout the year.” Pagpapakilala nito and smile widely, she also motion na bumalik na ako sa upuan ko.
 
“Okay class, I think madadagdagan na ang reigning genius sa klase natin, aside from Ms. Bartolome, Ms.Versoza and Mr. Castillo we also have Ms. Montero, she even surpass Ms. Versoza Acceleration Exam with the total score of 599!” Mrs. Constasia exclaim with happiness and proud. Everyone clap their hands and even smile at me “Congratulation Ms. Montero” Mrs. Constasia said.
 
“Girl, paano na yan parang pumapangalawa kana ata hahaha” rinig kong sabi ng kaibigan ni Tanya.
 
“Shut up!” mahina pero may diing saad nito. Napatingin naman ako sa gawi nila, and Tansya stare at me with a burning fire in her eyes.
 
Meanwhile, the classes smoothly flow and we are now on our last subject and after that lunch break na.
 “Please, prepare for a long quiz tomorrow, class dismiss” Mr. Villarin said our Philosophy teacher.
 
The moment Mr. Villarin step out ay nag ingay na kaagad ang mga kaklase ko.
 
“Long quiz nanaman?! Paniguradong baldado nanaman mga scores natin.” Rinig ko bulalas ng classmates ko.
 
“Avie lets go” kelly said, niyayaya ako na mag lunch break. Bigla namang tumayo si Ralph kaya napatayo din ako.
 
“Hey Ralph come with us” aya ko sakanya, napatigil naman siya at lumingon saakin.
 
“Kayo nalang” he said and turn his back on us.
 
“Wag kasi masyadong assuming Ms. Montero! Porket ba sinalo ka kanina ay close na kayo? Tsk! Ilusyunada!” she said and push my shoulder, hindi nalang din ako sumagot kakaumpisa ko palang bilang student dito taps magpapa guidance na ako? NO WAY!
 
“Hayaan mo nalang yun si Tanya, ganun talaga yun Queen bee yun dito kasi” kelly said while were walking downstairs. “She’s also the unbothered Muse Holder dito sa Comprehensive High” dugtong nito. Tatango tango lang din akong nakikinig sakanya hanggang makarating kami sa cafeteria.
 
“Hi!” an unknown guy said at nakiupo sa table namin.
 
“Hello” I answer.
 
“I am just assuming na ikaw yung transferee student from New York High, am I right?” he ask.
 
“Hmm, yes ako nga paano mo pala nalaman?” Tanong ko dito.
 
“Well, you’re name is all over the campus your name even pin at the student bulletin board as the topnotcher of the Acceleration Exam” he explain with a wide smile.
 
“Is that so? So nakilala mo na siya pwede kanang umalis diyan” biglang singit ni Ralph at naki upo nadin sa table namin, I gasp in surprise ng tumabi siya saakin.
 
“Ralph Castillo, How are you?” the boy exclaim with an arrogant smile
 
“Umalis kana dito Jason! Kung ayaw mong basagin ko yang bungo mo!” galit na saad ni Ralph, napasinghap naman kami ni Kelly at nagka tinginan.
 
“A-auh, Ralph w-will you please just calm down, nakikipag kaibigan lang naman siguro siya” maingat na saad ko, tatango tango dinv sumasang-ayon si Kelly saakin.
 
“You’re right Avie” nakangiting saad ni Jayson.
 
“I’ll count into 3 at pag hindi ka pa umalis, sisiguraduhin kong manghihiram ka ng mukha sa kambing!!” kalmado pero may diing saad ni Ralph. Ngumiso naman si Jayson at umiiling
 
“One!” Ralph started to count.
 
“Apektado ka ata masyado Ralph” saad ni Jayson.
 
“Two!” Ralph continue counting nauubusan ng pasensya.
 
“Guys, chill lang tayo, the weather is too hot, being head heated is not advisable at this M-moment right Kelly? Hehehe”  I nervously exclaim.
“Tama nga naman si Ms. Avie Ralph, chillax dude! HAHAHA napaghahalataan kang Bitt----
 
Boooooogshh!!
 
“Ralph!! Oh my God Jayson!” biglang sigaw at at takbong napatayo papunta kay Jayson na nakabulagta sa sahig at putok ang labi.
 
“Oh my gosh”
 
“Hala”
Students react in churos. I help Jayson to stand from his sudden downfall.
 
“What’s Happening here?” singit ni Tanya between crowd. “Oh my God, Jayson! What happen?” biglang nag alalang saad ni Tanya ng makita ang estado ni Jayson.
 
“STAY AWAY FROM AVIE!!” Ralph exclaim in between heavy breath. Bigla naman akong hinila ni Ralph paalis ng cafeteria.
 
“Ralph” biglang tawag ni Tanya na siyang nakapag patigil kay Ralph sa pag lalakad at pag hila saakin.
 
“Pag sabihan mo yang Boyfriend mo Tanya!!” Ralph said and continue walking while grabbing me gently.
 
“Why did you punch him Ralph?” I question when we arrive at the school park.
 
“Because his an asshole” he answer with cold Voice.
 
“I don’t get it, nakikipag kaibigan lang naman siguro siya” I said and sit beside him on the ground.
 
“He’s trying to flirt with you Avie! Now please stop asking, stop talking and stop caring for him!” he said and lay on the ground.
