"OKAY CLASS, we're going to talk about the history of…", Hay nako. I hate history classes because do you know why? Kasi masakit kapag binabalik-balikan yung past eh! Charot lang! History seventy-five nato! By the way, ako nga pala si Lynn Irene, Ayrehne yan hindi Ayrin, Samantha Andrea Villanueva or Lisa V for short. Gets mo na kung bakit Lisa tawag nila sa'kin? Okay good.
I'm seventeen years old and I'm studying here in Malabar Bauhinia Malabarica High School and I am top of… nothing. Average lang naman. I get good grades and okay na ako dun. Sa katunayan, 'di ko pa nasusubukang nasali ako sa top students sa aming class simula pa noong grade nine. Iniwan kasi ako ng boyfriend kong si Joel na nahulog lamang sa isang slut! Lokohan lang? Anyways, simula nung nangyari 'yon, nawalan na ako ng gana sa school. Lubusan kong naisip na ganito ba talaga ang mga lalaki? Panties over brains? Ewwww! Ano pa ba naming buhay 'to.
Nevertheless, happy naman siya sa slut niya so… Ate!!!! Mahal ko talaga si Joel! 'di ko napigilang lumuha then suddenly may tumawag sa pangalan ko.
"Miss Lynn Irene Samantha Andrea Villanueva dramatista, ano na namang pag-eemote ang ginagawa mo 'jan?!", Sigaw ni Madam Anastasia Bruha ng Kalye Kangkong. Hate ko talaga 'tong si ma'am! Pa-epal lang ampeg? Kitang nag-eemote ako dito, e-epal talaga? Ano 'to, comedy show?
"Ahh sorry po", pinunasan ko yung mga luha ko at narinig ko yung mga kaklase kong nagtatawanan. Hahayssst... kailan pa ba talaga ako makakalimot sa nakaraan? Ayoko na maging marupok pero tuwing naiisip ko siya , natatandaan ko yung mga magagandang bagay na ginawa namin dati nung kami pa and it breaks me to the part na for all the years na pinagsamahan namin ay mauuwi lang sa ganoong break-upan?
Ayoko na talaga. Ayoko na. Hindi ko namalayang lumabas na pala si Madam Bruha. Ay hala! Ilang oras pala ako nag emote? Patay! Hindi ako nakapagsulat ng notes hayy naku bwesit kang lalaki ka! Mawala ka na sa buhay ko bwesit ka!

"OKAY CLASS, do you understand?" Napakamot lamang sila sa ulo. "Sir, It should be sixteen over pi" tinaas ko yung kamay ko para makita ng mentor.
"Are you sure about that Mister…",
"Florencio Aremos, sir",
"Mister Aremos. Based on my calculations earlier, those were the correct…"
Napahinto na lamang siya nung biglang may napansin siyang kakaiba sa equation.
"Well, I stand corrected. Thank you Mister Aremos."
Lahat ng mga kaklase ko napatingin at napa-wow sa akin. Should I be flattered or something? It was just simple derivation how can It be so hard for them to understand? Anyways, pardon me, I am Florencio Mendoza Aremos, seventeen years old, at dito ako nag-aaral sa Malabar Bauhinia Malabarica High School ng Alugbati City. Transferee pala ako dito. Nag-aaral ako dati sa Heraclitus Von Ephesus High ng Episteme City. I am escaping the past that is still haunting me. The past was actually tera-sucking and I can no longer hold it in my psyche which causes me to have this freaking mental break down. I rather deal with this pain through studying, reading books, and playing mind-healthy games.
Sa katunayan, labag talaga sa kalooban ko na pinapaaral ako ng mga magulang ko. Who needs school anyway when you can have books and the world wide web for you to gain some knowledge? It's just a waste of time. Probably not for you, but it is a giga-sucking, waste of time for me though. I don't need a college degree and get a job because I ain't interested towards social life. I am on my own with my logia and books and articles were the food of my logia. I ain't interested in making money because money's just one call away for me when I need it. I am aiming to be the smartest man in this world! Some of them call me a dreamer but I'd rather call it a dictionary that's going to give my life a definition.
Part na siguro doon na tumiwalag ako sa aking social life. I don't have any friends nor affiliations in this school. I admit that it's hard for me to make friends because I have trust issues. They cling to you, and when the time comes that your branches shrink, they will leave you. It's better na wag nalang talaga. Even smart people have their personal fears. For me, I fear those people who are capable of outsmarting me and that's one of the reason why I transferred sa ibang school. I hate those people! But today, I'm certain, I'm gonna make them pay for this psychological shame. Once na makagraduate na ako rito, babalikan ko sila, at ipapamukha ko sa kanila na ako lamang ang pinakamatalinong tao sa bansang ito!
