Regina's POV:

Me and Ali are walking down the hallways of our school, Getting ready for our next class.

When suddenly a girl opened the door and ran as fast as she could, With visible tears running on her cheeks.

"What the-"

Another student came out crying, Holding his crumbled paper while wiping his tears.

"Nakaka kaba naman, 'Wag nalang kaya tayo pumasok." Ali faked a shiver while i rolled my eyes.

"Tama nayang pag iinarte mo, Let's go inside before we get late." His hands were on my shoulder while we went inside the classroom.

There were already many students inside, And there were different reactions when someone ran away from the teacher with watering eyes.

1. The people who tries to stop their laugh by covering their mouth.

2. Unbothered by what is happening.

3. Scared that they might be scolded next.

4. Shamelessly laughing at a low tone at the person.

"Gina, Li, Sit here." Xandra waved her hand with a smile.

"What happend?" I asked while me and Ali sat down.

"Apparently, Miss Custodio didn't like the essay they made. Sadly, They couldn't handle their tears and ran away."

"Pa chika naman." Ali asked while gazing at Xandra.

Xandra looked left and right, And pulled out her phone.

"'Wag kayo maingay ha, Mga marites pa naman kayo, Baka ikalat niyo." We both nodded with an eager look.

"You know that Miss Custodio assigned me to give the papers to the rightful owner, She called for me earlier and gave it to me. Look at her comments,"

'great, but simultaneously awful'

'where on earth is the common sense?'

'it's either you didn't understand the material i handed to you, or you did this at the last minute. I'm not sure what's worse'

'you're not taking this seriously.'

"Grabe naman, Kaya pala crumpled na mga essay nila kanina."

"Speaking of essays, Eto sainyo." She handed our essays, I examined mine, Looking if there are snarky remarks.

"At least my ??? is not that bad." Ali signed and kept it in his bag.

"How 'bout you, Gina? May sideline comment ba sa'yo si ma'am?" Xandra asked with her hands on her chin.

Once i was done examining my paper, I furrowed my brows.

"...no, Only an 'okay' at the end."

"What?!" Ali said out loud while i covered his mouth.

"Ang ingay mo!" I whisper-shouted at him.

"You're one lucky duck, I'm telling you. Look at her comments on my essay." She showed me her paper.

'how is this entertaining?'

'bored of reading this'

"At least yours is not that mean, Unlike the other two that walked out."

"Everyone stop chattering, And turn your books to page 179, We have no time to waste." Miss Custodio came in like a flash, Startling all of us.

"Listen, My day has been ruined since this morning, Especially those two that came out running out of my class at least 5 minutes ago."

"So, I don't want to hear any complains while I'm teaching. If you have any questions about my comments on your essay, Stay after our discussion and we'll talk."

"Already getting the chills from her tone." Ali covered his face with his book.

The whole time she was teaching, No one dared to say another word unless it was necessary, Afraid that they might be the next student to walk out of her class.

"...and, That's all for today. Any questions regarding about the lesson?" No one raised their hand, A sign that everyone understood it clearly, Or just too afraid to ask.

"None? Is everyone sure? Last time this happend after i gave a pop quiz, Majority of the class failed." Everyone shook their head.

"Okay, Class is dismissed." Everyone sighed in relief.

"We actually survived the whole time, Phew." Ali was smiling widely while packing his things on his desk.

"Also, Miss Vanguardia, Remain in my class." Xandra smirked at me and nudged my shoulder, While Ali let out a gasp.

"Stay alive, I won't be able to last a second if i talk to her one on one." Xandra said with a sarcastic tone.

"Anyway, Me and Xan will be at the cafeteria, You know our spot." I smiled at them as they walked out of the room.

I slowly made my way to her desk, She was busy typing on her laptop anyway.

Can i just say her outfit is an absolute killer? If she wasn't a teacher, I'd talk to her.

No, Scratch that, Liligawan ko siya.

Normal ba na sabihin ang mga ito sa prof mo?

"Regina, Right?"

"Yes po."

"First, I must say that your essay was truly outstanding, You did very well as expected."

"However..."

"Why is the topic about a Teacher and a Student in a relationship?"
