Chapter 2: Hero

Alexa’s Point of View

I walk quickly toward the room. It's Mrs. Tejada's Personal Development subject. Siya 'yong pinaka-striktang guro rito sa Clemton High. She doesn't want student came up late in her subject. She hates students who are ugly and did not take proper hygien. Lucky I am, I have a face and somehow look like a model. If you ask Jenny and Lovely? I have nothing to say but they are also pretty.

Nau-unang lumakad sina Jenny at Lovely nang dalawang metro sa 'kin. I just don't want to be scolded first. Hindi ko sila sinabihan ang tungkol sa pakay ko. When they are about to enter the room ay bigla nalang silang napahinto nang may bumungad sa kanilang napaka-lakas na sigaw mula sa loob.

“Who said to the both of you that you are allowed to enter in my subject?” Pumasok sila sa gilid ng pader sa loob.

I felt slight nervous too. 'Yong boses kasi niya ay nakakatakot. I couldn't even determined if she was just relax or upset. Maraming nagsasabi na 'yong sigaw niya at kanyang malakas na boses everytime they talk to her ay normal na boses lang daw niya iyon para sa kanya.

Still my friends are sobbing and no one ever tried to explain their side. Maybe they are afraid to speak, this teacher pa naman does not want justification. But she could always ask everything about your reasons. Nakakalito lang no? Well, she's that!

“Answer me!” She shouted again as she hits the full white-blank wall with two erasers above their head. Malapit na silang matamaan nito. I pity them.

Nandito lang ako sa labas ng silid aralan, sumisilip sa ginagawa ni Mrs. Tejada sa mga kaibigan ko. She drawn nearer to them at itinaas ang mga panga ng kaibigan ko upang mapatingin sa kanya.

“How many times do I have to tell you that once you are late, do not enter in my subject.” Mahinahong sabi niya sa mga kaibigan ko, looking at them with an evil expression.

“Wait, wait.” I whispered. Gulat na gulat kasi ako nang may tumulak sa aking likod papasok sa loob ng room.

My world stops revolving when I entered the room. Hindi ko makita kung sino man 'yong tumulak sa'kin sa labas. Bumilog ang mga mata ni Mrs. Tejada nang makita niya akong pumasok bigla sa eksena. Nag-umpisang kumulo na naman ang dugo niya. She started to bite her teeth because of too much anger.

Nanginginig ako ritong nakatayo, my classmates are shutting their mouth up. Kapag may marinig kasi siyang kahit mahinang ingay ay sasaksakin ka ng mga masasakit na salita whether it's personal or not. Lumapit siya sa 'kin habang ang puso ko naman ay pumipintig nang malakas.

“Who said you too?” Napatalon ang mga siko't balikat ko sanhi ng aking pagkagulat. “It's me.” I turned my head behind me. I saw Eros saving me from hell.

“I am the one who pushes her to enter in our subject.” He added. The way he speaks now is just nothing. Napakachill niyang magsalita.

“Ahh ahmm, yes, yes Mr. Mendez.” Mrs. Tejada couldn't speak straitly. She is afraid of Eros too. “Baka nakalimutan mo, pamangkin ako ng may-ari ng skwelahang ito. I can terminate you anytime.” Mala-otoridad niyang pagkabigas dito. She became speechless, Eros lang pala ang makakatapat sa kanya. Eros might be one of her greatest weaknesses.

“Go take your seats.” Utos niya sa 'min.

Lovely and Jenny relieved the feeling of nervousness. Unti-unti ng nawala ang kaba sa kanilang damdamin. Without him, walang magliligtas sa 'min ngayon.

Nauna nang umupo sina Lovely at Jenny sa likoran. Those were their favorite chairs habang ako ay na sa gitna. Bumalik naman si Mrs. Tejada sa table niya. And me? I left aghast here, wondering why he did that? Why he saved me?
