[Eunji's POV]

Wahhhhhhhhh! Ang gwapo niya grabe! Ang gwapo talaga ni Mark Tuan. Actually, kilala ko na talaga siya noon pa dahil famous din siya sa school but kanina ko lang siya nakadaupang palad. Ay wow. ang lalim masyado. Ah basta! Hayaan niyo na. Haha!

"Ms. Jung Eunji."

"Yes Maam?" Tanong ko. Hala. Makinig ka nga Jung Eunji. Mamaya mo na isipin si Mark! Hay nako.

"Are you with us?" Sabi na nga ba at nakatulala ako eh.

"Yes Maam." Our teacher crossed her arms and rasied her eyebrow up. Whoo! Sabi na nga ba at di maniniwala 'to agad eh. Aish. Pande leche oo oh. Eunji kasi eh!

"Well, to prove that you're really with us, what is the subject I'm handling today?"

Anong klaseng tanong yan? Gaguhan lang? Hay nako Maam.

"We're having Literature today Maam." I answered confidently. Tama naman ako ah. Anong feeling niya? Di ko siya kilala?

"Good. Since we're having literature, according to the poem about war at page 656, what does the poet wants us to realize at stanza 3?" Goodness. Di pa tapos yun? Haist. Buti nalang pala binasa ko yun eh. Tsaka mukhang ang mali ay yung teacher eh. Ahhh. That strategy. She's trying to confuse me with her questions just to know if you're really listening.

"Maam, I think you're wrong about what you've said about the poem. It's not actually about war, it's actually about love. About a guy wanting to confess to her friend but he ended giving up because he knew that her bestfriend loves someone else. As we all know classmates, that to love and to be love is the best gift we'll ever receive in life. In stanza 3, she wants us to realize that don't be afraid to confess, don't be afraid to get rejected by someone you love. Nobody's perfect. Each of us may get rejected by someone we love. Some may be lucky if they haven't experienced getting rejected but she also wants us to remember that love can never be bought, our heart can never be sold and our mind can never be commanded by anyone. Maam, if you're trying to confuse me, you won't win because I did study my lesson for me to get ready because I know at some time in your class, I may not listen and I may be physically present but mentally absent. I'm sorry if my mind is not with your class earlier. I apologize." I bowed and my classmates was surprised on what I've answered.

What? Ano na naman ba ang kasalanan ko? Mali naman talaga siya eh. Uupo na sana ako nang tumayo si Taehyung which is katabi ko actually at then pumalakpak muna siya ng mabagal hanggang sa nagpalakpakan na ang mga kaklase namin.

"A clever and witty answer Ms. Jung. Very good. You may sit down now." Sabi niya sa akin. Nag-bow ako at nagpasalamat.

Nakinig nalang ako sa klase. Maya maya siniko ko si Taehyung. "Sira ulo ka talaga Taehyung, anong problema mo sa akin ha? Pinagtitripan mo na naman ba ako?"

"Bakit? Ang ganda kaya ng sagot mo kanina. You deserve a clap. Savage pa si Maam sayo. Ang galing talaga ng Babe ko. Hug kita mamaya para naman mainspire ka bukas na sunagot sa mga recitation-" Nilakasan ko ang pagsiko ko uli sa kanya dahil nakakainis ang lalaking ito.
