CHAPTER 3
GRANDFATHER
Irene's POV:
Hiroka Asumite,My Grandfather,Owner of East Crest,kahit na Lolo ko ang may-ari ng eskuwelahang iyon ay hindi ko maiwasang sumbatan dahil sa ugali ng mga napasok roon,biruin mo yon? kakapasok ko lang at ultimong pinili kong mag-aral ron dahil akala ko mabubuti ang estudyante but it turns out na bastos ang ugali?
kadalasan ko kasing naririnig na roon raw dinadala ang mga estudyante na galing ibang school para ayusin ang baros nilang ugali,naroon rin raw ang pinaka makulit at pasaway na estudyante
pano kaya nakakaya ng mga guro roon ang mga estudyante? pero marami rin naman akong naririnig na umaayos ang ugali dahil sa East Crest,pero hindi naman lahat ng Estudyante don ay baros ang ugali,ang iba nga lang
Kinuha ko yung Panyo ko at ibingay yon kay...sino nga uli to?
"Hey,if you don't mind...Anong pangalan mo?" tanong ko,he smiled
"Aki,Akiro Smirnov" i was shocked,is he russian? my jaw dropped
"are you...russian?" i asked like a curious child,he laughed and spoke again
"Hmm...Not Entirely but...I Have Russian Blood,I'm Mixed" he spoke,sobrang na-excite ako? first time ko kasing makakilala ng mixed race
"Talaga? sanaol!" sigaw ko,he chuckled again,malaki naman ang katawan ng lalaking ito,kaso ang lambot lang talaga ng galaw,downy?
"Yeah,Eh ikaw?your name?" aniya,i smiled and lend my hand
"Irene,Irene Asumite Lansky" his eyes popped after hearing the word asumite,but he shook his hands with me anyways,
"Nice meeting you Miss Lansky" and we released our hands,suddenly i felt at ease
"You know you didn't have to do that right," he suddenly opened up about earlier,gosh i hate remembering that,i sighed before explaining my side
"Alam mo Aki,ginawa ko yon dahil kaaway ko si Awa,sa sobrang awa ko sayo tinulungan kita,ginawa ko rin yon dahil ayokong nakakakita ng may nasasaktan,at isa pa ay ayokong nadudungisan ang pangalan ng eskuwelahan ng Jiji ko"
"So you're half japanese?" he asked,i nodded
"yes,half japanese and American," he nodded
"but you know,you didn't have to do that,their right,i'm a nobody,a loser a lone--"
"No Ones a Nobody" i cut him off,i smiled at him and explained again
"No Ones a Nobody,Even them,at kahit ganoon ang First impression ko sakanila,alam kong may good side sila na hindi pa tuluyang lumalabas" i spoke with full honesty and confidence
"You're really Kind you know,but,thanks for doing that"he smiled and wiped his nose
suddenly the restroom doors banged and i saw two guys huffing like they we're out of breath
eh?
"Erp! anyare? " bati nila kay aki,i looked at them shocked,pero ngumiti lang si Aki at sinabing
"wala na to,at least you guys are here now,oh and...this is Irene,Irene Asumite" they smirked
"yieeee" pang-aasar ni kuyang may Hikaw pero agad na nagbago ang aura ni Aki
Hala kayo...
"don't get the wrong idea,i just fought for Aki earlier" i smiled and they stopped
"ay...sorry" i quickly wagged my hand 'No'
"No,No,No,its okay" they smiled
"Thanks for,standing up for Aki,you know this guy,ang laki ng katawan pero lambutin" the guy with earrings spoke
inambahan sya ng suntok ni Aki at agad naman tong umilag,muli ay hinarap ako ni Aki at nagsalita
"Anong year mo na?" tanong nya,ngumiti ako at pinagpag muna ang polo
"3rd year" i spoke they we're suddenly shocked
"Sunbae?"
"Noona?"
sunod sunod nilang tanong,OA naman eh
"Ha? Don't call me that,hindi naman siguro nalalayo ang age ko sa age nyo diba?" they nodded in approval
"im just 20" i spoke and their jaw dropped
"we're older than you,pare-parehas kaming 21" ngumiti ako at muling nagsalita
"Then i guess i'm the one who should be calling you 'Sunbae'
they all smiled and lend their hands in front of me
"Michael,Michael Moribus" the guy with the earrings spoke,i shook my hands with him and the guy who was the tallest was next
"Jeo,Jeovanni Arzala,Irene Right?" he confirmed and i also shook my hands with
"Nice Meeting you,Jeo,Aki,and Michael," they all smiled and aki spoke again
"As much as we want to talk to you Irene ay kailangan na naming pumasok,kita nalang siguro tayo ng Lunch?" i nodded excitedly,god for the first time i had people to eat with,kadalasan kasi mag-isa ako sa luma kong school
they bid their goodbyes and waved to me,mag c-cr muna ako so pinauna ko na sila,but before Aki completely went out,he turn his gaze back to
"Oh and..." sinadya nyang bitinin ang sasabihin
oh and??
"Only my FRIENDS call me Aki" he spoke and Winked at me,i blinked twice,i flushed,the other two were just their giggling at what 'Aki' said
i smiled excitedly and my eyes smiled too,i waved to them too before going in the Cubicles
sinuot ko na yung hoodie ko na grey dahil hubog na hubog yung polo sa waist ko
as soon as i went out ay humarap ako sa salamin at inayos ang mukha ko
pupunta na sana ako ng room kaso may problema
where is it located? kinuha ko yung papel ng Schedule ko sa bulsa ng bag ko and luckily andon yung room number ko
609
i went outside and nagulat ako sa sumalubong saakin
i looked at her pero umiwas narin ako kaagad pero pinigilan nya ako sa pamamagitan ng paghawak sa braso ko
"You Again? what do you want?" i asked her,her looks were down at mukhang kinakabahan
"U-uh...Sorry,for...Earlier" she spoke,i scoffed and spoke again
"Dont say sorry to me,Hindi ako yung sinaktan mo and mas lalong hindi ako yung dumugo ang ilong dahil sayo" muli ay tumingin sya sa baba at binalik ang tingin saakin
"Im S-sorry too—to him,I mean,I shouldn't have done that-"
"you really shouldn't have" and i took back my arm which she was holding and when i was about to walk away is she spoke again
"b-but can we...at least be f-friends?" nauutal nyang pagtatanong,i sighed for a second and smirked,i looked back at her and held the straps of my bag
"Prove it" tipid kong sinabi,kumunot ang noo nya
"w-what?" tanong nya,i smiled and looked away pero agad ko ring binalik sakanya ang tingin ko
"as much as i pity and want to be friends with you,iniisip ko kung dapat ka nga bang magkaroon ng kaibigan sa ugaling inaasta mo,but i'll give you a chance,Patunayan mong Dapat kang magkaroon at maging kaibigan ko" i spoke confidently and walked away to go to my Class
