Hala hala. osige. Lowengs!! AMISYU! [hr] [b]CHAPTER 03[/b] “Little girl’s gonna play with water? That’s not good! You might get sick and drink awful medicine.” Someone was watching Samantha from afar, and the moment she went near the fountain, the guy went near her. “How many times do you have to appear in my life?” Samantha is angry with the guy. She never expected her first day would have a bad start. She keeps on telling herself that there’s no way this guy could possibly be a student in the same school as her. But she can’t convince herself. “Hmmm… since you are in the campus, I guess you’re a student here. You see, I’m currently enrolled in this university, which means that I am your schoolmate from now on. Oh, and about your question, I think, maybe at least once a day.” He flashed again his very irritating smile, and left. He couldn’t believe he is in the same school as the girl he saw in their restaurant. At that time, he felt someone was looking at him and the moment he turned around, he saw the girl looking at her. He decided to approach the girl, thinking she needs something. But as she walked towards their table, he felt something inside him became alive. From that day on, he knew he would see her again. That’s what he always prays at night. “Could this day get any worse?” Samantha asked herself. She can’t believe that she would spend her entire college life in the same campus with the person whom she hated. [quote][b]1 text message received[/b] [i]Hey, let’s hav brunch b4 ur class..meet me @ d cafeteria[/i][/quote] Samantha headed for the cafeteria. The café occupies a considerable amount of lot. At noon, hungry students would fill this big cafeteria. Although there are fastfood chains near the school, most students would still have their lunch at the school café. Aside from the fact that the area is a wi-fi zone, it is also home to delicious foods. Japanese, Vietnamese, Thai, Indo, you name it – they have them. “How was your tour?” Drei asked. “Fine.” “Are you okay?” “Yea.” “You seem to have encountered a ghost.” Drei is trying to control himself. He really wanted to laugh. “Eh?” Samantha did seem to have encountered a ghost. “Hey! Miss Samantha, pull yourself together! First impression lasts so make sure to have a good one.” [b]English Communication I – 10am[/b] “Armelio. Okay Mr. Armelio, introduce yourself first then seat on this side. The next person I’m going to call will seat beside the person who introduced before you.” The professor instructed the class about their respective seats. It is normal for every first day to introduce yourself, and by seating alphabetically, it can help the professor quickly remember the students’ names. Samantha seemed nervous. Although she is used in public speaking way back highschool, she never spoke in front of an entire class - with boys, lots of them. She was from an all girl school. [i]What am I gonna say? Can I just say ‘Hi! I am Samantha Felicity Villegas, the sis of the star player, you know, Drei Villegas!’ But that would be rude. As in completely rude![/i] “Villanueva. Villanueva! Is Mr. Villanueva here?” Nobody responded. It seemed that Mr. Villanueva is absent. “Oh, he’s not here. Just leave a seat for him. Next is Ms. Villegas.” Samantha stood up. “Wow. I’m surprised we have a wonderful girl in the class, and I’m wondering why you took this course.” Samantha was flattered. She’s not used in being called wonderful girl, or any praise alike, because there are several girls way more beautiful and wonderful than her in her former school. There, she’s just an ordinary girl. “Good afternoon everyone!” Samantha greeted the class very lively. She wondered why everyone quickly looked at her. Others with confused faces, others seemed to be smiling, rather laughing inside. “It’s ‘Good Morning’ Ms. Villegas. You seemed to be very advanced huh? Anyway, continue.” The professor noticed the silence and decided to correct her. “Ha, haha..” Samantha nervously laughed. “Gotcha guys! Haha. I just checked if you are really listening!” she joked, covering up for the mistake. She felt embarrassed. “Hey classmate! Do you happen to know Drei Villegas?” the guy in the front row asked. “Uh, the basketball captain? Yeah.” Of course she know him. But she never told them that he is her brother. She decided to take his brother’s advice; to make a name of her own. The class introduction continued. After the last person introduced, the professor proceeded to the class orientation. “Class, written on the board are the requirements in order for you to pass my subject. Kindly take note.” Silence was heard amongst the students. All were busy writing down the requirements, hoping to make a good impression. “Ma’am, I'll just go to the cr.” Samantha asked her professor. “Sure miss. Just be sure to be back within ten minutes. We’ll be having a little discussion.” The students were in discussion with one another. Most were finished copying the requirements. Then a guy appeared on the door. “Good morning everyone. Sorry Ma’am I’m late.” “Mr. Villanueva, I don’t care if your family have connections with this university, but you should be aware of your own schedule and avoid being late, especially in my class. I do not want to be disrespected in this manner. I hate tardiness.” Although the professor doesn’t show anger, the way Mr. Villanueva treated her class lightly was an offense. She felt disrespected. “I’m sorry Mrs. Reyes. It won’t happen again.” As Samantha walked along the corridor, she remembered that she had to quickly come back to the room for the discussion. She was about to enter when she saw a familiar guy. He was standing in front of the class, everyone looking at him, and the professor seemed to be unsatisfied. She gathered courage and made her presence noticeable. “I’m sorry ma’am it took me so long.” [b]Samantha’s eyes darted to the handsome yet annoying-looking guy. He looked more handsome in an up-close view.[/b]
