1 • Meet the Queen

"MOVEEE!"

Sigaw ng isang estudyanteng nagtatakbo mula sa gate. Mabilis na nahawi agad ang kumpulan ng mga estudyante na nasa hallway sa sigaw na yun. May ilang nagtatakbo pa nga papunta sa classrooms nila sa takot na makita ang taong parating.

This is a usual scenery in this school and that means whenever this happens, they already know what to do.

A minute later, a girl from the red car got out from the passenger's seat flawlessly. She was very gorgeous. Her long ash blonde and silky wavy hair matched her gorgeous little face.

She's wearing the school uniform with simplicity and elegance. Looking at her physical attributes, she does look like a beautiful innocent princess, but they know better. She's the Campus Queen Bee that reigned since the first time she set her foot on the ground.

"Ayan na siya." They whispered shakily.

"Gosh, she's a walking time bomb." Takot na komento nila.

"She's here again." Takot na bulong ng ilan.

"Gusto ko ng lumipat ng school."

"Ayoko na dito."

She walked like she own the world, then she finally stop at the center of the way they made.

"What's up, loser?" She asked wickedly at the whole body of crowd and smirk while flipping her hair then leave while they were shivering in fear.

She's no ordinary girl and they know better than anyone. She had strong personality that haunt them from time to time. She had these goosebumps effect on them whenever she's around. Yung tipong matataranta ka kapag nandyan na siya.

Nagpatuloy siya sa paglalakad at tanging tunog lang ng black stilleto shoes ang maririnig. She hates noise that's why no one ever dared to make a move. Ng 'di na nila nakita ang likod niya, nakahinga silang lahat ng normal.

"Nakakatakot siya." Some of them muttered nervously.

"Yeah, she's scary as hell." One of them agreed.

"Pag nakikita ko siya, parang gusto ko ng mag-evaporate agad." Natatakot na komento nung isa.

"Me too. Ayoko ko syang makasalubong o, makita man lang."

"Feeling ko para akong sinumpa kapag nakita ko siya."

"Bawal ba siyang titigan?" That question made all the heads turned to him.

He was curious.

He doesn't know the rule.

He's a newbie.

"No. Pero bawal tayong humarang sa harap nya." A girl answered him in a cold voice. Hatred was very clear in her voice.

CLASS HOURS...

"Get your books, class." Utos ni Teacher sa lahat.

Mabilis pero tahimik na kumuha ng libro ang mga estudyante sa subject na'to maliban sa isang may kaliitan na babae na nakaob-ob lang sa sariling at natutulog ng mahimbing.

"Can anyone woke that little princess for me?" The teacher asked in a fake sweet voice while wearing a forced smile. She hates someone slacking in her class— worst sleeping.

Nagkatinginan ang lahat pero walang kumilos. Takot na nga silang lumapit dito, gisingin pa kaya? Pakiramdam nila, daig pa ng kaklase nilang yun ang natutulog na dragon kapag ginising— and everyone in her class knew about that.

They're looking at each other and eyed those who were near her.

"Ikaw na! Ikaw naman yung malapit, eh." Utos nung babae sa katabi niyang lalaki na siyang pinakamalapit sa inuupuan nung natutulog nilang kaklase.

"Ayoko nga! Ikaw kaya!" Angal niya. Takot kasi siyang mapagbuntunan. This is the reason he hate this seat. Siya yung pinakamalapit kay Yshi— yung kaklase nilang natutulog at lagi siyang maingat sa bawat galaw. Para kasing may land mine na nakatanim sa paligid ng upuan ni Yshi. One wrong move and he's dead.

"Kalalaking tao mo, takot ka sa kanya." Pang-aasar nung ilan.

"Pare, ikaw kaya?" Tanong nung guy na malapit din sa kinauupuan ni Yshi.

"Oo nga pare. Total naman 'di ka niya inaaway." Sang-ayon nung isa.

"Gusto niyong patayin niya ako?! No way!" Inis na sagot niya dun sa dalawang sumulsol. Papatulan niya kung sinong siga wag lang si Yshi. Monster tingin niya dun, eh. "Gusto ko pangmabuhay ng matagal."

Napapikit na lang sa frustration ang Teacher. Akala niya kasi matitino ang mga estudyante dito kaya siya nag-apply agad. Isa pa, maganda ang offer ng school lalo ng sa klaseng eto. Alam niyang mag isang siga sa klase na'to kaya takot silang lahat sa kanya at walang magtatangkang maging pasaway... pero 'di niya inakalang isang maliit na babae, maganda pero mukha namang hindi niya kayang manakit ng tao ang pasaway sa klase niya.

Walang pag-aalinlangan na lumapit siya sa upuan ni Yshi at kinatok ang mesa. Natahimik bigla ang lahat at nanlalaki ang matang pinanood lang ang Teacher.

She did dare to wake Yshi up.

Sa isip ng guro, takot na takot sila, ang liit lang naman nitong kinatatakutan nila. Kung sana malaking babae si Yshi Caico baka hinayaan pa niyang magreyna-reynahan dito. She's not even worth the time to be scared off.

"Asdfghjkl—" Si Yshi na 'di pa rin inangat ang ulo.

Kinatok niya uli ng mas malakas yung mesa kaya napaangat na ng mukha yung munting reyna. Napatitig siya sa mukha ni Yshi at ang tanging nasa isip niya ay:

'Masyadong maganda para maging sadista. Sayang ang mukha niya kung sakaling mahilig nga siya sa rambulan. At sa walang-wala sa hitsura niya ang maghahamon ng away. She's too girly.'

The teacher didn't know her students silently stood up and make a distance away from them.

"Ano ba?" Naiiritang tanong ni Yshi dito kaya lahat ng estudyante ang nagsimula ng mamutla at mas umatras pa palayo.

"Di ka nakikinig sa klase natin." She replied coldly. Confident that she could not throw her. Sa liit neto, sino nga bang matatakot? She's way taller than her. "Baka nakakalimutan mo kung nasaan ka ngayon?" Mataray na sita niya dito.

She roam her eyes around the classroom with boredom. Her classmates took a step backward and cowered in fear. She smirked wickedly. Scared, huh?

"No, I know it's your class. It's boring and I'm sleepy." Kibit-balikat na sagot neto at tumayo. She's really sleepy and having this boring subject didn't help. She yawned and pick her bag.

"Saan ka pupunta?" Nagtitimpi pa ring tanong ng Guro kay Yshi. Any moment parang sasabog na siya sa sobrang galit. She haven't been this insulted her whole life! Ever since she started teaching, no one ever dared to say her class is boring!

"Kung saan wala ka." She replied lazily at her.

Napagting ang taingang hinila niya ang buhok neto.

"Wala kang galang!" Gigil na singhal niya dito.

She was seething in anger but Yshi didn't even flinch and just turn to her with a blank face.

Yshi hold her arm firmly that made her loose her hair from her hand. She's tiny but she's too strong!

Then Yshi pulled out her long hair from her gasp, turn around and kick her in an instant. Napahiga siya sa sahig sa gulat at sa naramdamang sakit ng sikmura.

"Do you really wanna die?" Yshi asked lazily but at the same time challenging her. She was giving her a cold stare and she's dead serious.

Nanlaki ang mata niya. She's not kidding! Ngayon naiintidihan niya na kung bakit walang sinuman ang dumidisturbo dito. She's really like a sleeping dragon.

"Mamili ka. Magre-resign ka o magpa-file ka ng resignation letter ora mismo?" She asked in a cold voice. Her eyes were colder than her voice that made her insides tremble.

The Teacher trembled in fear and hurriedly took her leave. She'll surely file a resignation because of her monstrous student. She will never trade her life for such a job!

Another down for Queen Yshi.

Teacher's Office...

ONE NEWBIE TEACHER rushed into the office after witnessing how a kid threaten a teacher. She was told not to meddle other business that's why she hid in silent the whole time.

That kid was a monster that even the rudest teacher she ever met bowed down to her. That kid crashed her like a measly pet.

"Do you know that kid at class 1-1?" Bungad ng bagong teacher sa senior niya nakaharap sa table at abala sa pag-check sa ginagawang test papers sa computer.

"The pretty witch?" Kalmadong tanong niya habang tinuloy ang pag-e-edit ng tanong. This scene is not a surprise to her. She knew what that pretty witch she mentioned can do.

"Gosh! She's so unstoppable! May nag-resign na namang teacher sa Arts Department." Kwento ng bagong guro.

"Well... what's new?" She shrugged and continue scrolling on her mouse.

"Ganun ba talaga siya ka-worst?"  Takang tanong niya. This is her first job and doesn't know a kid could be this scary.

"You have no idea." She replied without looking at her. "You're lucky you don't have to face that kid."

"Ano bang problema niya? Bakit ganun siya?" Hindi niya alam kung bakit ganun kasama ang ugali ng batang yun.

Madami na siyang na-handle na matitigas ang ulo na mga estudyante pero ngayon niya lang nasaksihan ang ganito. Ngayon niya lang nakita kung paano tini-terrorize ng isang estudyante ang isang guro ng walang takot.

It's her first job and she was so happy to be admitted with such a prestigious school... but she never knew what lies beyond this beautiful school.

"I don't know." The senior teacher replied after pausing for couple of second. She's thinking what to say either. She know that kid means trouble. "Let's just do our job and let her be." She heaved a sigh and smiled wearily at her junior teacher. "She won't do anything ruthless unless you cross her. Just don't even dare, alright?"

"Yeah. I don't think I can cross her either." Tumatangong sagot ng bagong guro. That student is too scary and she doubted herself if ever she could handle her— no, she won't even dare cross her.

"Well, that's good."

The senior teacher look at her junior quietly. She's too young to handle such stress... so full of ideas and dreams... but Yshi could crash that into pieces.

"Don't get into trouble, Miyuki. Don't focus yourself on her. A teacher shouldn't be scared with her own student... just do what you're asked to do."

"Noted, Senpai." She replied with a grateful smile. She actually admired Avril— her senior teacher. She's beautiful, smart, and cool. All students listened to her, and she wanted to be like her.

"You should get going now."

Tumango si Miyuki at masiglang tumungo sa klase niya.

Naiwan naman si Avril na nakatingin sa pintuang tinahak ni Miyuki.

Ayokong kamuhian ni Miyuki ang pagiging guro. Alam niya kung gano ka-importante eto sa kanya. It's her dream after all... at kayang sirain ni Yshi yun.

'Wag kang makialam sa issue ni Caico, Miyuki... she'll be the death of your dreams.'

All Avril could do is to put a limit on Miyuki's actions and plans, and of course hoping she won't dare cross the line Yshi made for everyone.
