Andromeda And Her Secrets

Bleau Margarette Robinson's Point of View

Lumapad ang ngiti ko habang nakatingin sa uniform ko. It was pretty.

Siguradong late na ako but it doesn't bother me. Okay lang naman daw kasi 'yun sabi ni Ms. Valentine para sa mga tulad kong transferee.

Yeah about that, I've researched as well, that they rarely accept transferees. Curious tuloy ako sa ginawa ni lady Mauris ko para makapasok ulit ako dito.

Nagtungo muna ako sa Room 109 bago pumunta sa classroom ko for the second subject. Excited na ako sa magiging Classmates ko for this sem. I'm sure they're nice. Sana.

"Ms. Austerman what can you say about the situa—Oh excuse me, I think we have some visitors in here."

Ngumiti ako sa papalapit na teacher na hindi alintana ang pagkaputol ng discussion noong lumitaw ako. Maamo ang kanyang mukha. Halatadong mabait at easy.

But on second thought, looks can be deceiving. No matter how that phrase seems cliché' it is still relevant.

"Hello Ms." aniya sa himig na naghahanap ng dugtong

"Ms. Robinson Maam. I'm sorry I was late medyo nahirapan po kasi akong hanapin itong classroom." I immediately said at pormal na yumukod. I'd like to smile some more, but the girl I saw in the parking lot is inside our classroom, sitting beside her are I think her friends from earlier.

If I'm not mistaken, two sections per level ang inaaccomodate dito sa Andromeda, students are sorted randomly. That works for Middle School and High School learners so there's a total of twelve advisory classrooms here for learners.

"Okay. So ikaw pala 'yung transferee. Please, join us."

Pinapasok ako ng teacher at ipinakilala sa mga taong nandoon sa klase. Iginala ko ang tingin ko sa paligid estimated 30+ ang population namin sa section na ito. Majority ay mga lalaki and most of them nakita ko na kanina sa school grounds.

The room doesn't look like a typical classroom na puno ng charts o kung ano ano pa, it's more like of a convention hall which can only accommodate 60 people at maximum with extravagant carvings on every corner. Well, the corners have pillars.

The walls were clean and smooth in texture—probably a porcelain tile in the shade of hazelnut clad on the very foundation of the walls. The ceilings don't just have a single lamp. It contains many—all enclosed in a glass shade colored in buttermilk or cream.

"Welcome back to Andromeda Spring Academy Ms. Robinson. You can sit anywhere you want."

Naghanap ako ng bakanteng upuan. Mayroon doon sa may bandang kaliwa, second row, kaya doon na ako naupo.

Mukhang nagulat naman ang mga kaklase ko noong marinig nila ang salitang 'back'. Understandable naman iyun dahil hindi ko naman nakita halos karamihan sa kanila doon sa Andromeda noong Elementary ako.

In fact dadalawa na nga lang ang estudyante na natira dito na nagmula sa Andromeda, sina Ashton at Wolf na parehong kaklase ko rin ngayon. Pero dahil sa bumalik ako, tatlo na kami.

"So going back to our discussion Ms. Austerman what can you say about the case?"

Tumayo ang tinatawag ni Maam na si Ms. Austerman. At 'di na 'ko nagulat na si Fritz iyun, dahil nakaramdam na naman ako ng kaba, kaklase ko rin pala siya. She was saying something I couldn't grasp noong napalingon ako sa katabi ko.

She was pretty, automatic rin ang smile at paglahad niya ng kamay sa akin

"Hi I'm Gayla and this is Privo we're both Crushers." Siniko niya ang lalaking katabi niya, lumingon ito sa akin at tumango.
