Sandrew's Pov

Matapos kong maubos ang sigarilyo ko, bumaba na ako mula sa rooftop ng building ng senior highschool department and headed to my first subject na, Philosophy kung saan fifteen minutes late na ako.

Nang makarating ako sa tapat ng classroom ng subject na Philosophy, hinawakan ko 'yung doorknob para buksan, nang biglang may sumigaw ng "kuya, wait!" mula sa kanang gawi ko. Lumingon ako to see a girl, running towards my direction.

Nang maka lapit siya sa akin, munting pa siyang madapa, kaya naipinatong niya 'yung kanan niyang kamay sa balikat ko, that made me kinda stiff, saka siya nag inhale and exhale. Then look at me with a dazzling smile, that can took away any guys breath...including mine.

She had a long straight black hair na naka lugay, perfectly trimmed eyebrows, kissable lips that was damp with pink lip gloss, perfect set of white teeth. Even though naka foundation siya, freckles across her cheeks are still visible. Her dimples also showed sa pag ngiti niya, at 'yung chestnut brown niyang mga mata na may mahahabang pilikmata, parang naka ngiti din---it's sparkling.

She had her One Direction bagpack slings over her shoulders. Wearing the university's uniform neatly---the white blouse top with the black vest similar sa suot ko obviously kasi it's our uniform here. May logo ng King's University sa right upper part, tapos may mga white strips sa bawat edge ng clothing, then the above the knee black and white plaid skirt, black shoes and white socks that cuts midway sa binti niya.

Definitely what a good student looks like.

I shrug my shoulders slightly, dahilan naman para ialis niya 'yung kamay niya sa braso ko, mumbling 'sorry', as she chuckle.

"Philosophy one, class 'to diba? Dito ka din ba?" Tanong niya. I stare at her adorable face for a second before answering her.

"Hindi ba obvious?" Natatawa kong tanong, sabay turo sa sign board sa pinto ng classroom na may naka lagay na 'Grade 11-Philosophy 1'.

Tiningnan naman niya 'yung tinuro ko, saka nag face palm at pinag tawanan ang sarili niya, and I can't help not to laugh too.

"Buti na lang na abutan kita! Kasi nakaka hiya naman na papasok akong late mag isa. Tinulungan ko pa kasi 'yung kakambal ko na hanapin ang klase niya, then saka ko hinanap 'to. Grabe...ang lawak kasi nitong King's University." Pag papaliwanag niya.

"So? Tinatanong ko ba? Paki ko sa dahilan kung bakit ka late." Pa bara kong tanong.

"Uh...wala! Share ko lang, sungit mo." Naka pout na sabi niya. "Cute ka pa naman." She mumbles, that made me smirk and look at her with amusement, saka umiling iling at binuksan ang classroom. Una akong pumasok kasunod nung babae.

Natuon sa amin dalawa ang atensyon ng lahat ng nasa klase na 'yun, nung pumasok kami.

"Sorry po we are late, Miss..." The girl apologetically said to our Philosophy teacher, Miss Kate.

"Well hello there, Mister Styles." Neutral na sabi sa akin ni Miss Kate, not surprise at my presence at her class, dahil expected niya nang nandito ulit ako.

"Good morning to you too, Miss Kate." Naka ngisi kong sabi, shoving both my hands inside the pocket of my slacks.

"And you're?" Tanong naman ni Miss Kate sa kasama ko, as she helds her class record.

"Perkins, Trinity Lianne Perkins." Sagot nung, Trinity.

"Care to explain bakit kayo late?" Seryosong tanong ni Miss Kate. Trinity told our teacher the exact same thing she told me earlier, kung bakit siya late.

"And you, Mister Styles?"

"Traffic." Tipid kong sagot, sabay hikab, that made my blockmates including Trinity to chuckle.

"Oh really now? Don't get me with that shit, Sandrew Hayle." Seryoso pa din na sabi ni Miss Kate, crossing her arms over her chest.

And that, is why she's my favorite teacher to say the least.

"Fine," I said, annoyingly rolled my eyes. "I have to finish off my cigarette."

The class chuckled again. Napa irap si Miss Kate, saka umiiling.

"You both, may take your seat." Sabi nito, as I made my way sa pinaka likod on the left katabi ng pader. Nilapag ko 'yung bagpack ko sa gilid ng upuan before seating. Sumunod naman sa akin si Trinity at umupo sa bakanteng upuan sa kanan ko, placing her bag sa gilid din niya sa sahig.

"But let me just tell all of you, that I don't tolerate late comers on my class, unless the excuse is considerate." Dagdag pa ni Miss Kate, as she drifted off introducing herself and her subject.

"Friends ba kayo ni Miss Kate?" Biglang tanong ni Trinity, that made me put my drowzy gaze on her. Paanong hindi ako aantokin, wala na ngang tulog because of our midnight shenanigans last night, ang boring pa ng klase.

"Bakit mo na tanong?"

"Para kasing mag kakilala na kayo, an odd thing when you're new here and stuff." Sagot niya.

"I'm a repeater." Sagot ko naman sa tanong niya. She kinda look surprise, but just nodded eventually.

"Pwede ulit mag tanong?" She asked unsure.

"Tanong na 'yang ginawa mo, but anyway go...if you're that interested in me, pwede mo na din kunin phone number ko."

She squinted her eyes on me, before mumbling, "ang kapal din pala ng mukha mo." With gritted teeth, that made me smirk.

"Anyway, kaano ano mo si Margo Nate Styles? Parehas kasi kayo ng surname."

"Hindi ko siya kilala." Pag sisinungaling ko. He's actually my older brother, that I hate so damn much. "Hindi naman porket magka apelyido mag kamag anak na, hindi ko naman kamag anak si Harry Styles."

"Omg! Harry Styles! Baby ko 'yun!" Kinikilig niyang sabi. "Pero sa bagay, akala ko kuya mo si kuya Margo, hawig kasi kayo."

"What? No way, mas gwapo ako sa kulot na 'yun." I said crossing my arms, as I realize what I had just said. Way to go, Sandrew! Ikaw na mismo nag laglag sa sarili mo.

"Akala ko ba hindi mo siya kilala? Bakit alam mong kulot?" Natatawa niyang tanong. Hindi ko na siya pinansin at kunwari nakikinig ako sa pinag sasabi ni Miss Kate, about the branches of Philosophy blah blah.

"Sabi na kuya mo 'yun e!" Mapang asar na sabi ni Trinity, poking my arm with her index finger, but I shove it away.

"Stop." Inis kong sabi, that only made her giggle.

"Your kuya Margo is my and my twin's ultimate crush! He's so charming and handsome and sweet." She dreamily said, like a typical fan girl would do, and the way she praise my brother just made me cringe.

He's an asshole.

"E ano naman pake ko kung crush niyo 'yun ng sinasabi mong kambal mo ha?" Inis kong tanong. Earlier, I found her adorable, now I found her annoying.

"Wala, share ko lang ulit."

"Wala nga akong pake."

"Share nga lang!"

"I don't give a fuck, talk to yourself or something. Just shut your annoying mouth." Inis kong sabi, controlling the volume of my voice.

Hindi na siya sumagot at nag focus na lang sa pinag sasabi ni Miss Kate sa unahan. I glance at Trinity, only to caught her glancing at me too. She stick her tongue out at me, sabay irap. Napa iling na lang ako, saka nag smirk.

I guess this class wouldn't be boring after all, as I expected in the first place.
