Kabanata 5: Percival
Ingay ng paaralan ang agad na bumungad sa akin. I plugged my earphone and listen to the music as I walk past the pillars of the building to my room.
Wala pang tao sa silid ngunit pinagpasyahan kong umupo sa pinakalikod, malapit sa bintana.
Maya-maya'y pumasok na ang mga magiging kaklase ko. Some made friends and some are already noisy while I am just silent listening hardcore musics.
I'm chilling here when the teacher arrived. I hid my plugged earphone on my long hair and composed myself. I am good in multi-tasking that's why kahit nakikinig ng music ang kanang tenga ko ay nakikinig naman ang kaliwang tenga ko sa guro habang nagpapakilala siya.
Natigil siya sa pagsasalita nang may pumasok nalang bigla at naupo sa tabi ko. Hindi ko na tinignan dahil hindi ko naman kailangang pagtuonan iyon ng pansin. Napagalitan siya ng guro pero base sa tono ng boses niya ay wala lang ito sakaniya.
My music shifted into mellow kaya hindi ko namalayang napahilig na pala ako sa upuan at pumikit. The song is beautiful but the content of it is sad. My mood became low as I listened to the song.
I heard from my left ear that my teacher wants us to introduce ourselves.
"Percival Jei Yu." That's what my seatmate said. Tumayo ako at nagpakilala. "Leonora Josefina Legaspi." And then I seated.
Pasimple akong lumingon sakaniya habang inaayos ang aking eyeglass.
I stiffened.
The song shifted again.
Playing: Secondhand serenade - Fall for you
His eyes slowly turn to me. I saw how his eyes widened. He pointed me with horror.
Umiwas ako ng tingin at bumaling sa guro kahit kinakabahan. He's the guy who chased me under the rain!
