SPG. Read at your own risk.

Napansin ni Kade na hindi parin bumaba ng sasakyan si Grizedale.

"Want me to unbuckle your seatbelt?"

"Nope, ako na."

"Okay."

Kahit natanggal na ang seatbelt nito, hindi parin ito bumababa.

"I'm late when are you coming outside?"

"Iyon nga ang pinoproblema ko. Paano kung may makakita sa atin? I told you earlier you can just drop me off near the school at maglalakad na lang ako."

"Mas delikado 'yon ngayong alam natin na may sumusunod sayo besides this parking lot is isolated."

Lalabas na sana ito nang biglang sumulpot si Ms. Valerie kaya agad itong isinara ni Eda, muntik pa nga itong maipit. So clumsy.

"Sir Kade? You got a new car?" saad nito.

"Ah oo."

"May kasama ka sa loob? I think I saw a person."

"No, just a stuff toy."

"Stuff toy?"

"Yes, ireregalo ko mamaya sa inaanak ko."

"I see. Let's go?"

"Ha?"

"Sabay na tayo pumunta ng faculty."

"Mauna ka na, may dadaanan pa kasi ako."

"Ganoon ba, sige."

Nang wala na ang co-teacher ay binuksan niya ang sasakyan.

"Really? A stuff toy?" nakasimangot na saad ni Eda.

"Iyon lang naisip ko, lumabas ka na bilis."

"Mauna ka na, susunod ako."

"Sige."

During his class halatang hindi nakikinig sa kanya si Eda. Panay din ang irap nito sa kanya.

"Okay class, start doing your activity."

Nilapitan niya ang dalaga.

"Are you acting like this because I called you a stuff toy earlier?"

"Maybe."

"Eda..."

"Don't bother me, I'm doing my activity."

He sighed. Is she on her period?

The bell rings.

"Ms. Soler, collect your classmates activity and bring it on my office" utos niya.

"Okay sir" that's the coldest tone she ever use to him.

He's been waiting for her in his office for half an hour and Eda still hasn't come so he decided to go back to the classroom.

"Where is Ms. Soler?"

"Kanina lang nandito siya sir pero bigla na lang siyang nawala."

"Did anyone saw Ms. Soler?"

Wala sa mga kaklase nito ang nakakita sa dalaga. Saan na naman kaya ito?

Pabalik na siya sa kanyang opisina nang humahangos itong dumating.

"Where the hell are you?" galit na wika niya rito dahilan upang pagtinginan sila ng ibang estudyante.

Tumikhim siya and compose himself again.

"To my office now" saad niya rito.

He heard her lock the door. Nilingon niya ito.
