Celestine's POV
Kinabukasan napansin kong marami nanamang mga estudyante ang nagkukumpulan but this time it seems like there are some commotion.
"Oo may sinugod na estudyante kahapon sa Ospital nahulog daw sa hagdan." I noticed that gossips is more than important than studies here -_-
"Yes I saw it when the paramedics arrived. Nakita ko din yung dalawang na aksidente."
"According to school officials, it was an accident naman daw kaya na disclose ang case."
Namutla ako sa narinig. Are they talking about Ellaine and Jacquelyn? Ghad I'm dead kapag talaga may makaalam. That Karen, won't say anything right? Mukhang natakot ko naman sya kahapon eh so I think she will keep her mouth shut, hopefully.
This is why I don't want to get involved with anyone here and would rather let them bully me. The fact that the students here have powers and capable of almost everything, while me?! I live alone, my dad works far away and definitely couldn't get myself letting Sophia Jane gets involved. You know what, I think o shouldn't have done that to Ellaine and Jacquelyn, they were too much but it is me who will suffer once they know the truth.
"Celestine!"
What should I do now? Exam pa naman, what if they will expel me?
"Tin?"
No. I can't be expelled, maybe I have to find Karen and threat her so she won't speak. Oh god! What am I thinking? That's too evil.
"Oi! Celestine Soliél Madrigal!"
"It wasn't me!" Biglang sigaw ko kaya napatingin ang mga tao sa akin. Nanliliit ang mga mata kong tiningnan si Sophia dahil sa ginulat nya ako.
"Anong it wasn't me? I've been calling you many times at nakatulala ka lang dyan." Eh? Kanina pa ba sya andito?
"Ah...W-Wala, sorry I was memorizing Amino Acids in my head."
"Papasa ka din naman sa exams whether you memorize it or not...Anyways, ganda ng damit mo ah. Nag iba ka na ba ng style to attract your man more? Hehehe." Sabi nito sabay tusok sa tagiliran ko.
Since wala akong damit sa bahay niya he always order new ones for me tuwing natutulog ako doon. Ang galante nga nya eh, he bought me clothes, pair of shoes imported from Paris. He chooses it himself. Magigising nalang ako kinabukasan there's a fancy box na sa bed for me with a letter from him na 'wear this' o diba, bossy?!
"Heh! It's not my choice to wear this, he gave it to me since doon ako natulog———este" Agad akong napatakip ng bibig ko na sya namang ikinalapad ng ngiti niya.
"Live in na kayo? I mean there's nothing wrong with that kasi nga diba sabi mo you're married kahit na walang kasalang naganap." Nanlumo ako sa sinabi nya. We're married but only in papers. There was no wedding or witnesses, just a piece of paper with signature.
"Don't be upset about what I said, he promised you naman diba? Why don't you just trust him?" Right. She's right. Tyaka ayoko din namang magpakasal in public lalo na at yung taong pakakasalan ko ay si Akira. It would be a mess. Instead na kasalan ang magaganap, eh baka malibing pa ako ng buhay ng mga fans nya.
"Psh. I'm not really upset. Tyaka bata pa naman kami eh. I still have a dream to achieve, so I am fine just like this. To be honest, I'm not really sure what is marriage nor love, I don't even know myself if I am ready for this." What am I thinking? How come that I've lost my composure and let my guard down for Akira? I like him for sure but....does he feel the same way as I do? I see care, possession and obsession, are these traits considered as love?
Ghad! What is love anyways? Baka naman infatuated lang kami sa isat isa and we're being reckless here.
"Why don't you try and figure it out? Only you and Akira can define what marriage or love is. You can't figure it out by yourself. Especially love, I can't answer you either since love defines in so many and different ways. Only the ones who experienced or experiencing it can give you a definite answer." She pats my shoulder as we headed to the Auditorium kasi dun ang exam namin ngayon.
I think what she really said makes sense. You can't really define what love is without experiencing it. Yung tanong talaga is Akira even capable of loving? That emotionless, expressionless and cold blooded person?! Tsk. I really have no idea what I have put myself into.
"Sya nga pala I almost forgot to ask you an important question." Biglang parang may kinang sa mga mata ni Iya ng humarap sa akin. Nasa auditorium na kami so she's speaking in a low tone, wala pa din naman si Mrs. Colendres eh.
"What is it?"
"Yung lalaki kahapon? Sino sya? Hehehe" Heto nanaman tayo. For sure crush niya nanaman si Yuu. Hmm...I think naman bagay sila. I mean why not? Yuu is single yun ang pagkakaalam ko and so is Sophia.
"That was Yuu, kaibigan ni Akira. I'll introduce you to him one day." I said and winked. She giggled in excitement tyaka ako niyakap.
"You're the best talaga hehehehe"
"Of course wala naman akong magagawa kundi ang supportahan ka otherwise you'll end up in nunnery." Mahina niya akong kinurot sa tagiliran.
"Biro lang haha"
"Ok class please be seated. We'll start the exam now." Natahimik at nagsibalikan ang lahat ng dumating si Mrs. Colendres.
While handing the papers natigil ito sa harap ko and grins at me.
"You're doing very well with your exam results as expected. I have high expectations for you, don't disappoint me." She said and hand me the questionnaires. Eh? What was that for?
"Ano daw Bes?" Bulong ni Iya.
"Iwan ko nga din eh." Sagot ko nalang. I really don't understand that middle aged woman. Minsan parang she dotes on me, minsan naman parang palaging kumukulo dugo nya sa akin. That's why I came up with the name Prof. Menopausal kasi basi sa ugali nya.
"Wag mo nalang intindihin nga pala, after this I have to go meet up my siblings, yung kambal sila Uno at Dos. May laro kasi sila dito sa Maynila eh, I have to see how are they doing." Right, I've known her siblings na kambal ang sweet ng mga batang yun eh at habulin pa ng mga babae, Di ko nga alam at naging kapatid sila ni Sophia eh.
"Samahan kita? I'm done reviewing nanaman tyaka it's been long nung last ko sila nakita."
"Sige sige for sure they'll be glad to see you."
"Ok class, you only have one hour and thirty minutes to finish these one hundred questions. Finish or not you have to pass your papers once time's up. Now begin." Napasinghap kaming lahat sa sinabi ng guro. Like seriously? Buti sana kung ng ito ay multiple choices pero hindi eh. You have to define most of these questions on your own words and give examples. Aiyo! We're doomed. But at least Immunology and Anatomy and physiology are not as bad as Physics. I'm suck at numbers.
Third Person's POV
