Zapheniah Ashanti G. Ventura, a second-year college student, has a run-in with Celeste Garlea, a famous fashion designer and lawyer who appears out of nowhere as...

Jeeez! Rin was so right! Miss Garlea is a TER-ROR, and when say TERRROR I. Reaaaaally mean TER-RORRRR! She has such intimidating aura that matches her harsh ways.
Minsan medyo maingay talaga yung mga classes but whenever it's her class akala mo naman may dumaan na anghel sa harap.
It's been two weeks since she became our professor in BA-FDM / Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and Marketing. It was said that Miss Garlea agreed to fill in for Miss. Ocampo (our supposedly teacher) as a favour or something. To be honest I don't care that much, as long as I'm learning on her class and she doesn't make me her target to lash her bitterness out then imma keep my mouth shut.
"Miss Ventura exchange seats with Mister Agolod here" biglang tawag ni Miss Garlea saakin na nananahimik lang naman sa likod.
"W-why miss, is there any reason for me to exchange seats with him?" Hindi ko mapigilang mapatanong, ang ganda ganda na kaya ng pwesto ko tas bigla akong ililipat sa harap niya mismo, eh wala naman akong ginagawang kung ano at hindi rin naman ako nag-iingay.
I suddenly felt the whole class's attention towards me. I heard a few gasps and murmurs.
"Hala paktay"
"Nako mukhang si Niah (Zapheniah) ang makakatikim ng pagka terror ni Miss Garlea ngayon"
Iyan ang ilan sa mga bulungan na narinig ko, and for the others hindi ko na maintindihan.
Miss Garlea looked at me sharply. I tried reading her expression but it was a struggle. "Because I said so"
"I'm sorry ma'am but I like my current seat. I'd like to stay here since you don't have any reasonable explanation to change the seating position which in the first place we do not have" I smiled looking at her straight in the eye.
"I'm giving you TEN SECONDS to take your seat, MISS VENTURA, or do you prefer to stand outside the classroom with a book in both hands, trying to balance, because I'd be happy to lend you my book here if you'd like to"

I clenched my teeth and grabbed my bag. "What a witch" I mumbled. So this is what the others felt when THAT teacher calls on them?
As I sat down in the seat directly in front of her table, I'm not sure whether I'm imaging things or if her mouth really just turned up to a small smirk.
I glared at her, irritated of my new seat. I freaking hate seating infront, especially in front of a TER-ROR teacher. Ugh! I like Ms. Ocampo more as our teacher. I've only met her a few times but I'm pretty sure she's far more sweeter than this one.
I glared at her, unhappy by my new seat. I hate being in the front row, especially in front of a TERROR professor. Ugh! As our professor, I prefer Ms. Ocampo. I've only met her a couple of times, but I'm pretty sure she's far more sweeter than this one.
Ms. Garlea continued the class till it ended. Finally! After two long hours isa nalang bago mag break.
Miss Garlea called, "Miss Ventura, stay for a few minutes." I sighed.
"But," I began to explain, "I still have a class miss, and I'll be late if-" I was rudely cut off. And to think she'd have manners, I thought, resisting the impulse to roll my eyes.
"I'll give you a pass for that, but I just want to let you know that your seat will be in front of my table for the entire time I'm teaching in your class."
"But miss I didn't even do anythi-"
"UNDERSTAND" Mahigpit niyang sabi na nakatingin saakin ng madiin.
"Fine" I mumbled taking the pass and leaving for the next class.
"AND Miss Ventura, I'm more than a witch, learn some manners, NEVER question my decision ever again. Now go."
Habang naglalakad papunta sa susunod kong klase napapabulong na lamang ako sa sarili. "Learn some manners?! Maybe she should learn some herself. Doesn't she know cutting someone off while talking, especially if you're not close is rude?" Ish nakakainis. I normally dont act like this pero pag siya na kausap di ko mapigilan, nakakabwisit. "Hmmmn. Maybe she's right na she's more than a witch cuz' from what I've seen on how she treats the others she might just be the devil"
.
"Oh Miss Ventura, it's unusual for you to be late to class, is everything okay?" my next class's professor asked, concerned.
"I'm fine, miss; I just had a small discussion with an another professor; pero here's my pass po," I smiled as I handed her the pass and proceeded to my normal spot along the wall near the back.
.
Time flew quickly, and the next thing I know, it's four o'clock in the afternoon. Finally!
Before grabbing my bag, I stretched a little. I need to return a number of books to the library. I sighed and prepared to lift the entire stack of books I had borrowed for the day.
"Pssst. Niah dami niyan ah baka maputol kamay mo pag binuhat mo lahat yan ang payat payat pa naman ng mga kamay mo. Akin na nga yan" pag agaw sakin ni Jennica sa mga libro.
"Well I'm not complaining" I giggled taking my other stuff walking off to the library at the end of the hall next to BA-FDM's class room.
I wonder, is Miss Garlea still there? As we passed by the room, my eyes was drawn to her greyish one. I had no idea her eyes were grey; I assumed they were black because I didn't bother to look any farther. They're stunning. They're gorgeous. What the heck, how can a woman be so talented and beautiful at the same time. God clearly has favorites.
My eyes retracted when I heard my name being called. Shocks nakakahiya para akong tanga na nakatulala sa kanya.
Mabilis akong sumunod sa library at ibinigay ang book pass.
"Oh, Niah anyare, bat ka namumula jan?" Tanong ni Jennica habang iniaayus ang mga libro.
"H-ha? Ako? Namumula? Hindi ah baka sa lighting lang medyo iba kase ilaw dito sa library kaya siguro akala mo namumula ako" I tried playing it off amd thankfully she didn't seem to be that curious and just let it slide.
Paglabas namin ng library medyo nagulat pa kami ng nakatayo sa pintuan ng library si Miss Garlea na para bang may inoobserbahan o kung ano man.
"Hi miss good afternoon po" bati ni Jennica
"H-hi po Miss, g-good afternoon po" sunod ko namang bati.
Tumango lang ito at nagpatuloy na kami ni Jennica. Bat ba ako kinakabahan na kung ano, dapat bwisit paden ako.
"Oy Niah birthday ng tropa ni Markus sa Light Club punta ka tas sabihin mo din sa kambal na sumama din. Bukas ha, mga 5pm kami magsisipuntahan sa club punta kayo, sagot na lahat nung magbibirthday, si Lance, kilala mo naman yun diba, mukhang may crush sayo yun eh hahaha"
"A-ah cge sabihin ko sa kambal, pero may ibang drinks naman dun diba? For sure ako designated driver dun sa dalawang yun eh"
"Oo madami choices dun"
"Cge cge, ingat!"

Note: "Miss" ang tawag sa teachers sa school na ito instead of the normal "Ma'am"
