THE MASTERS

Dragon XXIV

Rose Ann's POV

After Ronalyn left ay naiwan rin kami dito sa table nang walang nagsasalita. I'm just sipping my Iced Tea while looking at everyone around here in cafeteria. Lahat ng students dito ay may kaniya-kaniyang group. Aside from this guy, iyong lalaking nagturo sa amin dito sa cafeteria. I didn't leave my gaze at him when he's taking us a glimpse. Mukha rin siyang hindi mapakali kaya napapakunot na ang noo ko. I raised my brows when he suddenly stood up and took a deep sigh before facing our direction and walks towards us. I saw in my peripheral vision that Rommel notices him too kaya umayos ako ng upo and waited for that guy to approach us. 

"Masters," Bati nito sa amin na siyang ikina-kuha ng atensyon ng tatlo pang kasama ko. 

"Oh hi, you're that guy kanina right?" Asked by Ate Catherine, the guy nods.

"About earlier, I... I'm sorry about what happened." He said and looked down at his feet. I looked at my cousins and they also did the same.

"You tricked us earlier to come here for them to greet us like that, aren't you?" Rommel said while looking at him intently. Oo nga pala, siya pala iyong kamuntikan nang masapol nang kung ano mang pinagbabato nila sa amin kanina.

"I'm really deeply sorry Masters! Napag-utusan lang po ako ng mga second year, when they found out that, may transferee sa first year Alpha's." He reasoned out na ikina-tingin ko sa ilan pang students dito na which is mga classmates na lang namin. They were looking at us also dahil sa lalaking ito.

"Ganoon ba sila mag-greet ng mga new students dito?" Tanong ni Cristina.

"Yes po, as you can see, second-year Alpha is the most bully section in Dranair." Paliwanag naman kaagad ni... what his name by the way?

"Anong pangalan mo?" Voiced out ni Jerald kaya hindi na ako nag-effort mag-tanong.

"Oh right. I am Philip Cabrera, a Plant Manipulator and I am 18 years old." He said kaya napatango naman ako.

*kriiiing! kriiiing*

"Time na, anong next subject natin Ate Catherine?" Tanong ni Jerald as soon as the bell rang.

"Wait," She said and immediately grab her bag and looked for our class schedule.

"Uhmm. Our next class is Physical Training po." Salita ni Philip while kinakamot ang nape niya.
