Gale's POV

"Sabi mo eh," I said with a small laugh. I saw her glance over where Marcus was sitting. I also looked and saw Edward smirking at her. Kisses turned her head in an annoyed manner and rolled her eyes. Edward now has a full smile when Kisses turned her head. Earlier, he was rude to Kisses and I don't know why. We're classmates for two years and he's never been like that. Or do I just not know him?

"Ano yang senyasan niyo ni Edward?" I teased. She was frowning but suddenly snapped at my statement.

"Anong senyasan? Bwisit yan si Barber. Ang bastos," she said in an upset manner. She looks like she's really annoyed pero gusto ko siya asarin eh.

"Aba, bakit Barber na tawag mo sakanya? Teacher ka ba, ha?" I laughed, "Baka mamaya yan maging apelyido mo." I teased her. She gave me a dark look. Hala ka.

"Ano ba Ate By," she said flat, "Di ko naman siya kaibigan para tawagin sa first name niya. Never." she pleaded. Tinigil ko na siyang asarin nang pumasok si Ms. Miranda. Siya ang teacher namin sa TLE, favorite subject ko.

"Class, I'll be giving you your performance task for this quarter." she said as she searched through her things looking for something. She brought out a list.

"Gagawa kayo ng sarili niyong clothing line. You need to present at least 5 set of clothes. I'll base your grade according to your creativity and the product's structure." she informed us. I squealed. I love this project. I've always wanted to create clothes, I've been fascinated in this kind of work. Some students sighed and some was obviously excited.

"You'll be working in group of three's. As I read out the groupings, go to your corresponding groups and discuss. Okay, first one. Crystal, Gray, and Matthew." she said. I'm so excited! Sino kaya makakagrupo ko? Our teacher started to announce the other groupings wala pa yung akin. Sayang si Crystal napili na pero andito pa naman si Kisses. I noticed that her eyes were closed and fingers crossed. She was mouthing something like she was praying. I leaned so I can hear what she was saying.

"Sana wag si Barber." she was whispering to herself. I held a laugh.

"Masaya ako pag nagkagrupo kayo. Sana magkatotoo." I laughed and she snapped and looked at me.

"Sana hindi! Kahit sino nalang." she pouted. Iilan nalang ang hindi natatawag pero hindi parin napipili sina Kisses and Edward so sana maging magkagrupo nga sila.

"Abigail..." Ms. Miranda said. I triumphed. Excited much!

"Kisses..." she added. I held Kisses by the shoulder and screamed in excitement.

"Sana si Edward," I teased her.

"Sana hindi!" she said and crossed her fingers.

"Edward." Ms. Miranda said.

"AAHH!" Kisses literally screamed. Nakakahiya. Napatingin lahat. I saw Edward's reaction, he had a small smile.

"Ay mali, mali. Marcus, sa grupo ka nila Abigail. Edward, another group." she corrected. Kisses sighed in relief, she managed to grin despite the fact that she screamed earlier. Paasa naman to si ma'am. Masaya sana kung nagaaway yung dalawa eh, ang cute tignan. Pero okay narin si Marcus, better actually. Mas comfortable kasama and approachable. We went to our group and discussed our project.

"Mamili na tayo ng materials this weekend?" Kisses asked. It was a nice idea since may iba pa kaming projects para hindi na matambakan.

"Mas maganda mas maaga." Marcus said. We nodded in agreement. "Why did you scream a while ago, pala?" he asked. Sino bang hindi makakapansin sa ginawa niya?
