Who are you Miss Dela Vega? (University Series #I)

Chapter I

Danielle

We are here now sa first subject namin, which is our major. Only me, Celine and Erin are here. Si Hans saka Riley ay nasa kanilang first subject. Naiba kasi yung course nila saming tatlo. Hans were taking Engineering while Riley is taking Political Science. Kaming tatlo is taking Business Management. Kaya minsan bihira din namin makasama yung dalawa dahil sa conflict ng schedule. Kaya naman kapag pare pareho kami free sa araw nayun, asahan mo ng may get together at lagi kaming magkakasama.

"Erin have you heard about the incident that happened in the com lab?" I heard Celine asked. Napapagitnaan nila ako kaya minsan nakakainis lalo na at ang daldal nilang pareho.

"Yung kay Mrs. Alente ba saka Jerome yata? Of course duh, kalat na kaya yung balita sa school"

They were talking about the prof from Accountancy and her student na nahuling naghahalikan sa loob ng com lab. Pictures were spread through the university site and page kaya ganun na lamang ang pagsabog ng balita na yun. I only know about it because of Celine. Sya kasi ang unang kasama ko kanina dito at puro sya daldal about sa issue nayun.

"What if you fall inlove with your professor, anong gagawin nyo?" I heard Erin asked pero di ko ito pinansin. Bahala sila mag usap. Nakatingin lamang ako sa labas at di sila pinapansin.

Ang ganda ngayon ng panahon, ang aliwalas ng langit. May mga ibon din na nagliliparan sa taas. I closed my eyes then feel the wind touching my face. I love this kind of weather, simple at tahimik. Parang wala kang problema na maiisip.

"If I ever fall inlove to my professor I think exciting yun right?" Celine makes small noises na parang kinikilig sa kanyang naiisip. "Come to think of it, isn't it great falling for someone na matured na? Yun nga lang dapat magaling din kayo sa pagtatago haha" tinignan ko silang dalawa at napapailing nalang sa pinag uusapan nila.

"What do you think Dan?" Erin asked me while having her famous side smile across her lips.

"Why are you even asking me?" I asked her strangely. In the first place they know me so well. I don't care about anything related to love and relationship.

"I remember kasi dati, we asked you what's your ideal type or anong gusto mo sa isang tao then you answered na you want someone who's matured enough to handle someone like you. So I think you have an opinion about student and teacher relationship?" Paulit ulit pa nyang tinaas baba yung kilay nya habang nakatingin sakin. Samantalang si Celine naman ay kumapit sa braso ko at waring nag aantay sa sagot ko.

"I'm just 14 that time Erin. It's not serious" masyado pakong bata nun para malaman ang ideal type ko. Sinabi ko lang naman yun para tumigil na sila kakakulit sakin. And ideal type is so overated.

"Kahit na Dan. Ganun padin yun e. So ano nga?" Pangungulit pa nito, I sighed. Ang kulit talaga nila. Why am I even friends with them. Total opposite sila sakin.

"It's okay, we can't dictate what they feel. It's only a matter of respecting one another."

Now what? Tinitignan nila akong dalawa na para bang may ginawa akong kasalanan sa kanila. "If ever, pwede ka ngang mahulog sa teacher?" Nangingiting usisa pa ni Erin.

"I don't associate myself with anyone and I don't think that will ever happened"

Ako pa talaga ang tinatanong nila about dyan. Alam naman nilang imposibleng mangyari yan.

"Things can happen when you least expect it Dan" seryosong pahayag ni Celine na ikinataas ko ng kilay sa kanya. Hindi na lang ako sumagot at bumaling nalang ulit ang tingin sa labas.
