[ERRORS AHEAD]
None of us really dared to speak and we were just actually looking at him.
"Excuse me, why are you still standing there? Are you from this class? If so, then go back to your seat—or are you actually having a meeting anyway?" his deep manly voice pulled us back to our thoughts.
He is talking to Mica who's obviously yeah, still standing there, in front.
"Omg I'm so sorry Sir—and no, we're not po hehe" Mica said, felt embarrassed and quickly left the front and headed to her own seat.
I can't help but to cringe. Sure, he really has a cold personality but I like his appearance tho.
Oh? I think, I have crush on him now! Crush lang naman eh HEHEHEHEHE
The white—handsome–tall man wearing a pair of glasses enters the room and put his laptop bag on his desk. Once more, I was impressed with his manly bearing.
He pulled out a marker and started writing on the white board. Ahm yes, we do not use blackboards here at our school 'coz many of the students and even teachers complained that they were allergic to chalk, like what? But yeah, this was also good anyway.
He then turned around after writing on the board and faced us with his manly features and steady gaze.
"Good morning students, I will be your math subject teacher and at the same time, your temporary class adviser. My name is Zhenshin Louie Lim as what written on the board" he said and at the same time pointed his hand on the board while holding the marker and still doesn't take his gaze away from us
"Temporary lang Sir?" Gian asked, one of our boys classmate.
"Yes. Your class adviser took a month leave because of some personal reasons kaya ako muna ang substitute niya for now." he said
My classmates just nodded as response. Actually, I see mixed expressions and reactions on their faces.
The others—specifically the boys, are happy because he is not permanent as our class adviser. On the other hand, the girls make face because he is only temporary. Wait, is it because he is good-looking that's why girls are sulking huh? Psh!
'Zhenshin Louie Lim' basa ko gamit ang mga mata ko
Is he half-chinese? My mother is a half-chinese too!
"First of all, I would like to remind you that I only have two rules—1st, do not be late. I don't want to waste time and whether you're here or not yet, I'll start the class immediately as possible and you might missed something in our lesson if you are late. 2nd, pay more attention to the lesson so you could easily catch up. Did you get me?" he asked
"Yes, Sir." we said in unison.
"I don't know your names. So, I suggest that before we start our class, let me know your names first." he said as he turned his face to the right side "Student, can you please stand up and tell me your name, your age and your favourite subject"
he said to one of our classmates sitting at the very front, near the door where he would also be the first to introduce himself
"and it will be followed by you—" sabay turo niya sa katabi ng kaklase namin na unang magpapakilala "until we reach the last row—okay, you may start now." he added
"Hi, I am Lorrie Boson, 17, and my favorite subject is English"
"Hi, I am Chris Dante, 17, my favorite subject is Science"
"Hello, my name is Trisha Alonzo, 18 and my favorite subject is Science also"
blah ... blah .... blah.... blah .... blah
Teacher Zhen's just looking at them discreetly as they are introducing themselves and as if he's also memorizing their names as well as the faces of my classmates.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Mica Angela Santiago, 16 and my favorite subject is Science."
"Hi, my name is Andrew Leones, 18 and my favorite subject is Filipino"
"Hello everyone, my name is Samantha Kaye Gonzalez, 16 and my favorite subject is TLE"
Well, if you're wondering, actually, some of my classmates are repeaters and others were just studied late which supposed to match what their age now.
"Good morning Sir, hello everyone! My name is Michelle Tiffany Santiago, 17 years of age and my favorite subject is Mathematics." introduction by bitch — I mean, Mich! Mica's sister, but their attitude is very opposite.
Yes, she likes math a bit and I can even tell that her performance in the subject is way better than mine. What can I do? I don't like it.
I then noticed that Teacher Zhen was looking straight at her the moment he heard that Mich actually likes Mathematics. While she was smiling gracefully at him. Damn this girl! Is she up to something?
Psh! Don't tell me they're both interested with each other huh? I mean, is she not only interested in the subject but also to him? No matter what! I don't trust the way how she stares at him, very suspicious! I can even say that she has crush on Teacher Zhen!
"Ms. Michelle Tiffany Santiago right? What are you related with Ms. Mica Santiago?" he asked her. He really did remember her full name while he only remembers Mica's first name huh? So fishy!
Geez! Is he just curious or actually wanna have convo with her? Ghad! I hate my mind!
Maybe it's not what I think right? Teacher Zhen just looked at her seriously, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with his reaction too. He just looked directly at her but there was no such face just like what this bitch expression was.
"Hmmm, she's my younger sister Sir." bored na sabi nito, obviously dissatisfied.
Akala niya siguro kung ano na ang itatanong sa kanya HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Tumango lang naman si Teacher Zhen. "Oh, I see" he said as he nodded. "Thank you, you may sit down" he smiled a bit "Continue..." he added as he looked away.
Gosh! Did he just smile at her?
And because of that, this bitch — Michelle seemed thrilled before she sat down and is still staring at Teacher Zhen. Hmp!
They continued introducing themselves until it's finally Gaile's turn and I would be the next and before Kevin.
"Good morning everyone, my name is Gaile Xyrille Mendoza, 16, and I actually don't have favourite subject but I like S-science" parang alanganin pang sabi nito
which made me tittered because I know she only said that because she wants Kevin to think that they have something in common.
Gaile glared at me the moment she sat down, so I had to really suppress my laugh to avoid being caught by Teacher Zhen.
"Just tittering there and it took you so long to introduce yourself already. Your the next, Miss."
I almost jumped out of my damn seat when I heard Teacher Zhen's voice, is he talking to me? Next na daw eh!
Ako ba 'yon?
Out of panic, I stood up abruptly causing my sketchpad to fall, so I had to pick it up first and just another waste of his precious time! I'm doomed!
I heard Michelle chuckled, this bitch! and some of our classmates, while there was a hint of concern on Gaile's eyes on the other hand while looking at me. Napansin niya sigurong nag-panic ako. I just smiled at her, indication na 'keri lang gurl'
Geez Missy! That was so troublesome!
"Sorry sorry.." I apologized then I adjusted how I stood. I feel a little uneasy when I saw Teacher Zhen frowning as he crossed his arms while looking at me.
"Ahm... Hi, good morning Teacher Zhen, hehehe" I began to speak but his eyebrow rose even higher. What? Did I say something wrong?
Ay deym, personal term ko pala iyon. Geez! "I mean, Sir Lim hehe." pilit na ngiting sabi ko huhuhuhuhu "Go on" he said, boredly.
Kaya naman sumeryoso na ako, parang ayaw niya pa atang magpakilala ako ah. "Allow me to repeat myself again ... Good morning Sir Lim and to everyone. I am Zhaliah Missy Walmart, 16 and my favorite subject is .... Arts in MAPEH" pagpapakilala ko.
When I noticed that Sir didn't budge and was actually not looking at me—not even paying attention either! So, I guess that's all. It ends just like that.
I was about to take my seat and give the floor to Kevin but Teacher Zhen suddenly utter something and unexpectedly made me halt for a second.
"I see. So, you like drawing ... Missy?" he asked as he glanced at me with a smirk on his face while still crossing his arms over his chest.
I was taken aback for a moment when I realized that he actually called me by my second–at the same time, my nickname! He didn't call me by my surname huh?! Is he getting even now because I called her Zhen? Teacher Zhen.
"Y-yes Sir." I answered politely and try not to sound awkward
"Well then, I'm looking forward to see how good you are at drawing." He added as his lips formed into a slight smile.
My eyes almost widened in shock. I stand frozen on my seat with my mouth wide open and gawk as I looked over at him.
Was that a compliment?
or how should I take it ba?
and wait ....
why is it my heart beating so fast?
