3:00 p.m. my last subject just finished and i'm now standing by the faculty's door, to talk to sir stell. the reason? i don't know either. i just feel like my apology wasn't enough. i don't want to inflict a negative impression of myself on him and I don't want him to even think that i'm that type of person. i just want to make it up to him....... if that makes sense.

oh, shit. my heart dropped and i stopped in my tracks when i heard that very familiar voice. of course, i know it's him. with my back still facing my professor, i carefully heaved a sigh before facing him.

damn.... he's smiling at me.

i muttered. shit naman, 'di pa 'ko prepared e. T____T

stop stuttering!

sir stell replied, mocking the way i stuttered.

aba'y gago pala 'to e. charot.

he laughed..... ANO BA 'YAN ETO NANAMAN YUNG PUSO KO.

i squinted my eyes at him which made him laugh even more as he covered his mouth with his fist.

ms. castro is my professor in painting, one of my subjects.

i saw how his facial expression changed, probably a bit taken aback.

kahit ako, sir, nagugulat sa sarili ko e.

he smiled and opened the door for me.

we went straight to his cubicle as the professors greeted him. i suddenly felt even more embarrassed because there were more professors now than when i went here earlier.

sir stell asked as soon as we settled on our seats.

i sighed. whatever, jah, just do it.

he looked at his new polo.

he asked, obviously trying to stifle a laughter.

shuta ka, ser, pinapahirapan mo ako lalo. T_____T

i finally giggled after he said that. he's right. what am i so scared about? i'm just here to apologize.

i said and bowed my head.

i said with conviction for him to feel that i'm really serious about this.

sir stell looked intently at me as he leaned back on his swivel chair, crossing his arms and accidentally flexing his biceps in the process.

he asked, his right eyebrow quirking upwards in a sexy manner. o baka i just find everything he does to be sexy. shut up, jah!

i nodded and mentally gulped.

he thought for a moment before his face suddenly lit up as if a light bulb appeared above his head.

HUH?
