“Okay class, I will distribute your paper so you would know your score during the long quiz. This will be your basis on what to review for the final exam. Those who got perfect scores are exempted.” Mrs. Ocampo said she is their Trigonometry teacher.
Mrs. Ocampo starts calling their names. “Mr. Esquerra… Mr. Dela tore..Ms. Feralco….”
When they all received their test papers, Sam can’t help but smile widely upon looking at her score. The teacher can’t believe her happy face after getting 25 over 100.
“What makes you happy with that kind of score, Feralco?” Mrs. Ocampo cannot help but ask. The other students laugh aloud.
“Ma’am this is good news to me, at least I got 25 and not zero because I reviewed a lot.” Sam explains grinning. Her classmates can’t help but roar with their laughter.
“I really don’t know what to say to that. Please focus next time on hija. Ms. Luceros…”
Angelie stands up to get her test paper. “Congrats Luceros, you nailed it again.” She is smiling as she hands her paper.
She accepts her paper and goes back to her chair again.
“Congrats besty” Sam feels proud of her friend. “Thanks best”, she answers. “I will teach you next time, okay?
“No need, besty, I have a better idea in mind. Hahaha”
“But..”
“Shhhh!” I know what I am doing, don't worry”.
“Okay class! That’s all for today. Congratulations again to Ms. Luceros and Mr. Advincula. You may now have your break.”
Mrs. Ocampo leaves their room abruptly. Monique and Gwen come to them.
“Erwin congrats, you are really the best as well as our dear Angelie’, Gwen proudly said.
Erwin is their class president and the school’s organization secretary too. He is one of their friends too.
“Guys, I have to go. I still need to look for Seb. Bye girls, see you ate the canteen”, Sam quickly leaves her friend. The three girls just watch her walks outside their classroom.
Samantha goes to the Business Administration building where Sebastian is taking his classes. His class just ended too and was about to leave the room.
Seb was not shocked at all to see Sam waiting for him in the corridor. He got irritated when he saw how his male classmates looked at her figure. He really hates the way she dresses herself like she is alluring all male students in the university. Her long milky legs are on show and men feast on them.
Above all her make up is too much not like Angelie, she does not wear make up at all. He really cannot stop comparing them.
“What do you want?” he angrily asked her.
She blushes at the way he asks her. Some students are obviously watching the two famous students in their school. She is used to his rejections but sometimes she cannot stop feeling neglected by him. He will be hers, she promised that to her father’s grave. For now, she will just endure his callous attitude and bad temper toward her.
“My loves, I have good news for you” Sam neglects her heavy feeling upon observing how disgusted Seb is just by looking at her. She shows him her test paper and his face becomes more disgusted.
“What’s this? You failed?” he cannot believe this, he knows that she is not an i***t.
His friends laugh upon hearing that but Sam just makes face to them. “That’s why I came to you, I know you are smart enough to tutor me” her smile is contagious but Seb can’t really make himself smile at her.
“Excuse me! I don’t care if you failed.” he turns his back to her. He is starving and plans to go to the canteen.
“You have to help me!! Come on! It will benefit you too, I promise. Your pass to heaven is secured”, she winks at him.
“Shut up!” He is so annoyed at her right now.
“I will not stop until you say yes to me Seb! I will go wherever you go and I - “
“Fine! He stopped her nonsensical speech.” 6PM in our house, don’t be late!”
“Thanks my loves, you are really the best!”
‘Get lost!” He continues walking to the canteen.
Sam walks away too, she does not want Sebastian to reach his limit of patience with her. She does not want him to change his mind. He looked back when he heard her screams. He saw her on the floor with her things scattered around her. There is also a guy beside her. They bumped into each other he guessed.
“Sorry miss”, the guy looks apologetic. Sebastian never sees the guy’s face before, he is probably a transferee.
“Sorry, I am really clumsy sometimes,'' she smiles at him. She stands up and starts to pick up her belongings. The guy helps her.
“I am Dustin by the way”, he said introducing his name.
Dustin has a handsome face, he is also tall and has a lean body. But he is nothing compared to her dream guy, Sebastian.
“Are you new here?” she queried.
‘Yup, I am from Benilde. What’s your name? He gives her some of her things.
“Thanks. I am - “
“Samantha Feralco!” Sebastian shouts her name with anger. He got angry just by looking at the two talking.
“I will be going now Seb! Bye!” she waves her hand. “Come Dustin I will tour you around”. She holds his hand so he has no choice but to come with her.
Sebastian frowns when Sam walks away with the new guy. Damn girl!
“I really hate her! Who is that asshole? he angrily asks his friends.
Ares, Harvey and Max look at each other knowingly and smile.
“Let it be bro, you don’t like her anyway. Maybe that guy will be the key so Sam will stop bothering you.” Max stated.
“Right bro, she will stop pestering you. Don’t you want that?” Added Ares.
“Shut the f**k up! You are all so noisy”, he spats and leaves his friends.
The three boys look at each other and laugh. “Are we thinking the same thing? Ares asked before they go after Seb.

“Where are you taking me?"Dustin looks bewildered with the new girl he met. They arrive at the rooftop of the Business Ad building.
“Now, tell me honestly…
“What is it?" He is so confused with her.
“Are you gay?” she asked.
“What? Are you crazy?” shocked is an understatement to his reaction to her question.
“I can feel you girl, don’t deny it”, she smiles knowingly at him. “Your hand is as smooth as mine and with a pedicure!” she exclaimed.
Dustin feels his face reddening at her statement.
“s**t! Fine I am! And you’re really crazy!” he admits.
“Hahaha. You are so cute! I like you already. Friends?” Sam extends her hand for him to shake.
He accepted her hand and they sat down at the bench nearby.
“Let me see your schedule”, she asked him. “Wow, you have the same schedule as my loves.” she happily claps her hand. “Who are you referring to?” he got confused with her again.
“You have to report to me everything that is happening in your classroom, who are the girls surrounding him and showing motives.”
“Who is it? Is it the guy who shouts your name?”
“Yes you’re right! He is Primo Sebastian Vox, my long-time crush.” she dreamily sighs.
“What? He is not yet your boyfriend? Is he blind? You are such a pretty girl”, he cannot believe that he does not like Samantha.
“Sadly yes, he does not like me for now. But I promise you that he will be mine soon”, full of conviction and hope for her plans to have Seb.
“You know what, there are people who do not like being followed and chased”.
“What do you mean?” Sam asks him.
“Why don’t you stop chasing him? Maybe he will notice your importance”.
“Oh?”
“Yep! so stop chasing him.”
