CHAPTER 12: THE NEW DETECTIVE!

Chapter 12: The New Detective!

Napakabilis ng takbo ng panahon. It's been 2 months since we've visited London. Dalawang buwan na rin ang lumipas nang putulin ko ang buhok ko gamit ang kutsilyo. It's a bit longer now than it was two months ago. After our London Trip, hindi na kami nagkita pa ni Gray dahil sumama na ako sa mga pinsan ko sa Palawan. Ngayon ko lamang napagbigyan ang hiling nina Mommy na makipagbonding ako sa mga pinsan ko. The two months that passed was a good one. Hindi kumapit sa akin ang napakaraming kaso, there were some cases but I never meddled with the police works this time.

The two months vacation was over at ngayon ay balik skwela na naman kami sa Bridle. It's my last year as a Senior High student at sa susunod na pasukan ay magko-kolehiyo na ako. For the two months that passed ay marami ang nabago sa Bridle physically. Bagong pintura ang mga buildings, dumami ang mga convenient sheds at may mga bagong landscapes. Mayroon ding itinayo na mga bagong buildings. There were new faces of students and faculties too. When I entered the Grade12-A's classroom, I was suprised to see the new sitting arrangement. Okay, it wasn't really an arrangement but rather new chairs and long tables. Gone where the plastic armchairs, sa halip ay napalitan iyon ng mga bagong monobloc chairs. Mayroon ding mga mahahabang mesa na gaya ng mga nasa laboratory and it fits four people. May espasyo sa ilalim ng mesa na maaring paglagyan ng mga gamit o di kaya ay pwedeng sa ibabaw ng mesa dahil maluwang naman iyon. Nagmumukhang conference room tuloy ang classroom namin.

"Uy, Amber!" Napalingon ako sa tumawag sa akin. It was Jeremy. He was sitting on the last table at the far corner of the room.

"Jeremy." Lumapit ako sa kanya at tinapik niya ang katabing upuan.

"Your seat and then before you is Gray's", wika niya. Nakaupo siya sa pangatlong silya and he tapped the second chair as mine at tinuro niya ang unang silya para kay Gray.

"What's with the seat plan?", I asked ngunit naupo na rin ako sa silyang inilaan niya para sa akin.

"It's based on the heirarchy of wits", wika niya at pasimpleng ngumiti. "Hey, did you cut your hair?"

Huli na sa balita si Jeremy. Can't blame him. I didn't post any photo nor status in the social media regarding my hair. "Yeah, two months ago." I stared at him for a while. Bakit mukhang may bago sa kanya? Uh, ano nga ba?

"What? You won't notice my newly dyed hair?", he said with a grin. Yeah, his hair! It's dyed with brown ngunit ilang bahagi lamang iyon ng buhok niya which made him look like some famous guy of a korean boy group.

I rolled my eyes at him. "Anong nakain mo Je? Ba't ka nagpakulay?", I asked. Iba na talaga ang paglelevel up nito. This is Jeremy Martinez version 2.0.

"Je. I like it", he said referring to the nickname that I gave him. "Time for a change so I started dyeing my hair. How do I look like? Mukha na ba akong Kpop?"

I rolled my eyes to him. "Je, hindi ka mukhang Kpop dahil hindi ka genre, okay? Uh, well it suits you", simpleng wika ko and he frowned.

"It suits me. Ganoon lang?"

"What do you expect me to say?", I asked him. Grabe talaga si Jeremy. Kung dati ay bilang lamang ang mga salitang binibitawan niya, ngayon ay pwede na siyang bigyan ng Most Talkative Award.

"Hmmm, let me think first", he said habang nakaturo sa sintido niya. Jeez, old habits. "Aha! Alam ko na, dapat sinabi mo, ANG GWAPO MO JE! SOBRA!", he said with a grin.

I scowled at him at natawa naman ito. This guy will never learn. Pansin ko din na medyo nagkalaman ito. Hindi kaya nage-gym na ito? Jeremy's gaze were focused on the front door at may tinawag ito.
