Almost two hours have passed and there was no sign of other teachers coming. It's only Mrs. Torres who just discussed her syllabus.
And in those hours, I got to know most of my classmates. A lot of them are so nice. Maybe it's just me who is rude since I barely remember their names.
But then of course, you can't expect anyone to like you, with or without their reasons. I'm okay with that.
I remember the girls within Calvin's group. Whenever my gaze turns to them, they just roll their eyes at me and even smile sarcastically.
I'm getting pissed off but I just decided to ignore them.
And besides, if they're insecure about me, that thing's just going to kill them. And if they just naturally hate me, still, it's their problem.
Some boys even go near me just to flirt and hit on me. I don't really know how to handle them so I just smile. And if I show that I'm uninterested, they will immediately back off.
I always choose who I wanted to talk to. I'm not a good conversationalist. I'm way opposite of my brothers. Some say that I'm not outgoing and I'm an introvert.
Back at my old school, I always avoid boys like that too. Yes, I had exes but they're just few since my brothers really like threatening them.
I suddenly remembered the guy who helped me this morning. I immediately shrugged that thought off.
Anyways, in those free time, I also got to know Allanis more. She's actually too talkative. I like it instead of us being awkward.
She blabbered about some of her personal experiences, of how she got through everyday. How many boys she had rejected before. She's so pretty, alright. You can't blame the boys.
She also talked about her love for books, the heavenly bodies, the oceans and how she write poems about it.
I kinda feel bad somehow, though. Because I made her look like she's in a monologue. She keeps on talking about things even if I'm not asking her.
I was in the middle of laughing at an overheard joke when my phone rang so loud.
I looked at my phone and saw that it's my brother Jedric who's calling. He's our eldest, by the way. Alongside is my brothers Joaquin and Jerich.
"What now?" I told him as Allanis is watching me. My brother didn't answered immediately but I heard laughs and voices at his end.
"JEDRIC," I volumed up my voice so my brother will hear me. Some of my classmates even looked at me, scandalized or surprised.
As i f one cue, my one hell of a brother puts his attention to the call and asked, "have you brought my documents to the faculty already?"
"Am I your slave? It's so ungrateful that you're just having fun there instead of delivering these by yourself?" I teased him.
"I'm sorry brother but I lost it on my way here," I added as I laughed.
I heard him grunt as he bursted out. "Jiana, tell me you're joking! Those are important!"
"Why would you leave such a responsibility to me if it's important?" I smiled evilly even though it's only Allanis who can see it.
"What, Ji-" I already put the phone down even before he could react more. I put it inside my bag before I turned again to Allanis who was looking at me curiously.
"So... mind if you tour me around the campus later?" I asked while I rest my left arm in my backrest. She glanced at her wristwatch.
"Hmm... You still have seventeen minutes to talk about yourself more before our vacant time," I groaned in protest.
"Oh c'mon am I the only one who will keep on—"
"Okay fine, fine," I cut her off.
I don't know where to start. First of all, I don't have any likes or talents or hobbies and mostly, there's nothing interesting with my life.
As if reading my mind, she started questioning me instead.
"Okay, here. Besides of being a Chavez, tell me more about your personal self,"
I sighed.
"As I've said, my name is Jiana Achilla Chavez. My parents are Lorenzo and Antoinette Chavez of the Chavez Engineering and Construction Services (CECS). I have three annoying brothers namely Jedric, Joaquin, and Jerich Chavez. They're like the monkeys in our home. Of course I'm not one of them. I spent my 17 years of living by just locking myself in my room, sketching, or sometimes, I keep an eye of those monkeys to see if they will bring some other species around the house. I barely have friends so I don't go out much and whatnots. If there's any, it's only Gavin but we don't hang out much anymore so, to sum it all up, my life's boring," I said continuously.
Allanis gave me her smug face as she observes me quietly. I heard some whistles from somewhere. Now I don't know if I said that too loudly or they're just plain attentive.
Allanis sighed and rolled her eyes as she get her things. She even mumbled something that I didn't get.
"What did you say?" I asked.
She glared, "I said let's go out now," but I'm sure that's not what she said.
I nodded and fixed my things too. As soon as we got out of the room, I asked her to accompany me at the faculty room first to deliver the documents Jedric asked me to.
When the bell rang, hundreds of students came rushing down the hallways. I'm not surprised. This is a big University.
I was busy looking around the campus when Allanis pulled me harshly. She walked so fast that I am already half running.
I looked around again. This is where me and that guy met. I looked at every person passing, hoping that it was him but I failed.
As soon as we got out of that building, we walked meters more before we arrived at the faculty.
Allanis knocked before we enter. My ears met the noisy room filled with laughter from the five guys inside.
My breathing hitched when my eyes locked with the guy I am looking forward to see. As my gaze wandered, my heart started beating loudly.
