-Jared

Teacher Ru gets back to teach after my embarrassing moment but a few more minutes and it keeps interrupted by my sneeze yet still continuing the lesson.

"Achoo!" For the seventh time I sneezed...again. I don't know why...wala naman akong lagnat at malinis naman ang paligid ng room...

Pero yung ugali ng ibang kaklase ko hindi-

"Jared are you alright?" Bahagyang tanong sa akin ni Teacher Ru kaya napaangat ang aking tingin at sinabing

"I'm fine po teacher Ru, just continue the lesson po" at ngumiti ng kunti

Makikita ang kunting pag-aalala sa mukha ni teacher Ru ngunit agad naman siyang bumalik sa pagtuturo habang ako ay bumalik rin sa pakikinig.

~~~

An hour had passed and the class had dismissed

Tumunog naman ang bell hudyat na oras na upang kumain ng tanghalian, agad namang nagsilabasan ang mga kaklase ko para kumain sa cafeteria.

Habang ako ay niligpit at nilagay sa bag ang mga gamit at akmang aalis na ngunit may biglang tumawag sa aking pangalan.

"Jared? Come here" kaya lumingon ako at nakita ang seryuso ngunit may kunting pag-aalala na mukha ni teacher Ru.

"Po teacher Ru?" Saad ko habang naglalakad patungo sa kinaruruunan ni teacher habang bitbit ang bag.

"Are you really alright? You've been sneezing and spacing out this day, are you sick?"

"I'm fine po Teacher Ru....pagod lang po siguro ito. Don't worry too much po" I responded with an assuring smile

He takes a deep sigh "Just make sure to take care of your health...Seb and Roy will kill me if something happens to you." he said as he shivers and I sweat dropped at him

"Don't worry teacher Ru they won't do that and I'll be fine. I'll take my leave po" said and bowed before walking away.

"Sure ka bang dito ka lang Jared? Look it's already late at night, kailangan mo nang pumunta sa dorm mo" saad ng isa kong kaklase na si Ian

"I'm sure Ian, tataposin ko lang itong ginagawa ko at pupunta na rin ng dorm"

"Fine, una na ako ah. Btw, thank you ulit sa notes na pinahiram mo kanina." He said so I gave him a nod and smiled while him giving me a smile too and walked away.

Nang makita ko na wala na si Ian ay agad akong nagtungo sa isang book shelf dito sa library at kinuha ang librong nais kong basahin.

Naghanap ako ng pwede kong maupuan, napabaling ang aking tingin sa isang sulok at agad na pumunta doon at umupo at sinimulang magbasa nang komportable.

Ilang minuto ang nakalipas ay bigla na lamang akong napatigil sa pagbabasa dahil sa aking pakiramdam ay may mga matang nakamasid sa direksyon ko, inangat ko ang aking paningin at tiningnan ang paligid kung may tao nga ba.

Ngunit ni isang anino ay wala akong makita, nagkibit balikat na lamang ako at ibinaling ang atensyon sa librong binabasa.

Ngunit wala pang sampong segundo ay bigla na lamang akong napasigaw dahil sa hindi inaasahang pagdating at pagsalita ng isang hindi kilalang lalaki sa aking harapan.

Rinig ko naman ang pagtawa ng mahina ng lalaking hindi ko kilala kaya inangat ko ang aking paningin at tiningnan ko siya ng nakakunot ang noo.

"Pftt- sorry for frightening you, I didn't mean to scare you pftt-" natatawang saad nito kaya't inirapan ko ito at hindi na lamang pinansin at binaling muli ang atensyon sa libro

"Hey, sorry okay? Btw would you mind telling me your name and why are you here at this time?"

"You don't need to know at nandito ka rin naman." Inis na saad ko pabalik sa kaniya habang ang tingin ay nasa libro parin at patuloy na nagbabasa.

Hindi pa nag-isang segundo ay biglang nawala ang aking hawak na libro, walang emosyon ko naman na inangat ang aking paningin at nakitang hawak na ni Mr. Unknown guy ang libro na kanina lang ay binabasa ko.

"Give it back." Walang emosyon kong saad sa kanya ngunit tila ay wala itong narinig at binasa ang libro.

"Why are you reading this kind of book?" Takang tanong niya sa akin dahilan upang mangunot ang aking noo

"Bakit hindi ba pwede? It's my right to read any book I want"

"It's not that you're not allowed, It's fake."

"What do you mean?" Kunot noo kong tanong sa kaniya

"Everything written in this book was fake. You don't need to read this trash." Malamig niyang saad at itinapon ang libro sa basurahan na malapit sa kinaruruunan namin.

I didn't do anything and huffed as I walked away, this unknown guy just ruined my mood. Limang hakbang pa lamang ang aking ginawa ay bigla akong nakaramdam ng kamay na humawak sa aking braso at iniharap ako.

"My name is Vladimir, mind telling me your name before you left me here?" He asked as he smiled sweetly

But I scoffed at him and said "You threw the book I read a while ago and ruined my mood and you're expecting me to tell my name to you? Hell no." at inirapan siya bago nilisan ang lugar na iyon gamit ang teleportation

-Vladimir

'Damn...so cute pftt-' I mentally said as I consciously smiled and stared at the direction where he stood before he left.

A few more minutes and I got back on my senses and felt myself smiling because of that cute boy.

I kinda felt happy inside....I have never smiled nor felt happy ever since Galen left...

I felt empty and hurt when he left....I missed him so much...I wonder if he's ok and is sleeping so well right now...

Thinking of my little brother left made me feel so cold and sad. I know I didn't give him so much love and affection like I give towards Evander and Arsene, but it hurts so much like I would kill myself because I was being an irresponsible sibling towards him.

I let go a deep sigh and set aside those thoughts of mine, I teleported to my dorm and arrived at the living room.

I saw Evander sitting while spacing out, and a serious expression was plastered on his face.

I walked towards him and tapped his shoulder, making him look at me with his wide eyes.

His wide eyes, or should I say shocked expression, quickly transformed into an annoyed look. He seemed ready to punch me, but I managed to grab hold of his hand.

"If you ever do that again, Vlad, I swear I'll punch you till you're on the verge of death." He threatened as he glared at me like his about to kill someone.....And that someone is me hehe

"Chill, I just tapped your shoulder... what's with the serious face??" I asked, feeling a little happy because of that cute boy.

His face became serious in just a snap and he adjusted his seat, I sat beside him with my arms crossed across my chest.

"Father sent us a letter about... about Galen." I turn my gaze at him with a serious expression of course, waiting for him to continue.

"He said that there's still no clue where Galen's location is....still couldn't find him..." He disappointedly said as he lowered his head as if he was mentally exhausted.

"You know we can't and must not give up on finding him right? I have a feeling that we will be able to find him...not now but soon, go to your room and rest. You need that"

Said as I held his hand and led him to his room, I kissed his forehead and ruffled his hair before he entered his room with a small smile.
