Penelope's POV
Matalim ang tingin sa akin ng calculus teacher ko habang inaabot ang pinass kong assignment. Halatang may suspetsiya itong hindi ako ang sumagot sa set of problems na ibibigay niya pero wala naman itong sinabi.
I don't blame him though, I never get a perfect score in any of the tests and exam so it would really be hard for him believe that my answers are very accurate and precise.
"I see you're improving Ms. Grendel. Parang kahapon lang, hindi mo nasagutan ng tama ang seat work na ibinigay ko. You learned extremely quick."
I didn't failed to catch the sarcasm in his voice but I ignored him and smiled politely before going back to my seat.
"Whoa!!! Ikaw lang yata nakakuha ng perfect score, Penelope." Lumapit sa akin si Trisha at hinablot ang papers ko. Nakuha naman nito ang atensyon ng iba naming kaklase.
"Talaga? Penelope got the perfect score!?" Litansiya naman ni Mike.
"May tinatago ka palang galing sa math, eh. Pwede bang magpatutor ako sayo? Or can we have a group study?" Sunod-sunod na alok ni Trisha at tumango tango naman si Mike sa ideya niya.
I forced a smile but didn't say anything. I guess, I shouldn't have let Maddox answer my assignment. Now I feel like a hypocrite fooling everyone around me.
After several minutes, I succeeded in leaving the room where Trisha was bugging me with group studies and stuffs. I don't like to get her hopes up since I wasn't really good in numbers so I never agreed to any of her proposals. She was disappointed of course and I feel a little guilty even though she doesn't usually talk to me. Well, I really don't talk to anyone at school and I'm really surprise that they starts to approach me since the rumors about me and Maddox starts to spread so fast like pollution in the air.
Buti nalang at hindi sila nagsuspetsiya na nakakuha ako ng perfect score. Nakokonsensiya tuloy ako. From now on, I will never receive anything from Maddox in regards with school works.
"Hey red cheeks. Good afternoon.!!" Bati ni Luke na galing sa likod ko at inakbayan ako. Napayuko ako ng bahagya sa bigat ng kamay niya.
"Hey to you too. It was already a good afternoon but then your arm is really heavy." I said sarcastically but Luke didn't attempt to remove his arm around my shoulder.
"Oh come on! Can you at least bear with it? It's not that heavy." He chuckled.
"You're forgetting I'm a girl."
"You are?!" He exclaimed with disbelief. "San banda?"
"And what do you mean by that Mr. Hemington?" I huffed glaring at him while he run away.
I followed him screaming his bloody name. "Come back here!"
His laugh echoed around the hallways as he tried to slow down so I can keep up with him. "Now you can't even run faster?"
Good thing there weren't any students around or it would be embarrassing to see us running around like children in the park.
"Says who? Naabutan nga kita." I smirked as I jump on his back.
"What are you doing?" Tanong nito na muntuk nang mawala ang balanse.
"What? You can't even lift a girl? I thought you're a guy. I guess I was wrong." Sambit ko sa likod niya. I wrapped my arms around his neck and my legs around his torso to support myself.
"And who says I'm lifting a girl right now?" Pang-aasar pa nito pero hinawakan naman ang mga binti ko upang hindi ako mahulog at nag-umpisa nang maglakad.
