In Your Eyes

First Day

Kayrelle's POV:

"This is it, Kayrelle." I whispered to myself then sighed while standing in front of my brand new school to mark a new chapter of my life being a SHS.

This is a newly established school, yet caused a huge controversy as it is governed by a nameless multi billionaire hiding by shadows . It made a buzz on its first day of appearance in media, definitely because of it's nearly perfect scale in all aspects, you could tell by a glimpse that this is especially for the elites, indeed an ideal school.

I'm one of the luckiest among thousands of hopefuls to earn a slot and be part of this school, not to mention I'm a full scholar.

But of course, since this is prosperous school and could stand against other prestigious International Schools, it has its own distinct rules and principles that was or yet to be implemented, one of which is for the language, it is requisite to speak the universal language which is english most of the time, specially during classes.

Biglang pumasok sa isip ko ang sermon ni Mr. Bean este Mr. Dean noong nagkaroon ng online orientation ang school for the accepted enrollees...

Short Flashback:

"Hyemdang High is an International School, it's a school for prudent, proficient and competent students, it isn't just locally inclusive but globally, with that, it is important to practice English as the school's main language, are we clear?" ani ni Mr. Dean.

Naloka ako dun sa prudent, proficient and competent ha, masyado naman niya ako kung i-describe(hair flip).

End of Flashback:

Going back.. so yun na nga, wala akong choice but to practice English as means of communicating inside the school, though I actually speak it, this is a different story kasi kailangan most of the time ay English.

I need to abide on the school principles lalo na at scholar ako, --wait, ibahin niyo ito sa mga karaniwang nababasa niyo sa mga libro, hindi ako yung underpreviledged but deserving student na naging scholar sa isang prestigious school and eventually mami-meet ang kanyang prince charming, to tell you, my family is well-off, I became a scholar as a token of my hardwork, I received a recognition of highest honor in JHS.

Mabalik tayo sa realidad, naglalakad na 'ko nang..

"Ouch." daing ko nang may bumangga sa 'kin.

Nakadapa ako habang sinusubukang tignan kung sinong evil witch ang bumangga sa 'kin, subalit nakatalikod na ito paalis.

"At least learn to say sorry!" pasigaw kong sabi.

Agad naman akong tumayo at nagpatuloy sa paghahanap ng aking designated room.

-CLASSROOM-

Sa wakas ay natagpuan ko na ang aking

tahanan, I meant room, ang lakas talaga ng epekto sakin ng kantang 'tahanan' ni Adie, ako kaya? kailan ko matatagpuan ang aking tahanan?

Pagpasok ko sa loob ay may isang babaeng lumapit sa 'kin.

"It's you." aniya.

Nagdulot sa 'kin ng malaking katanungan ang sinabi nito, anong me?

"It was you, I bumped on you in the entrance." dagdag pa nito.

Ahhh.. so ikaw pala yun hype ka, and very proud ka pa ha, ei kung sikmuraan kita ?

"I'm sorry mahh friend, I didn't mean to bumped on you and just leave like that, it just that.. I was running too fast to catched up with my oppa ."nahihiya niyang wika.

Wait what?! Friend?

Funny 'tong si ate haha, matapos akong hambalusin na ani mo'y rumaragasang sasakyan? Friend?! sunsilk ba shampoo mo't nakakagigil ka?

Pero think about it, kailangan ko ng kaibigan to survive the jungle, so I need to be friendly.

"Ohh I see.. that's the story, okay you're forgiven." sagot ko na lamang.

"Omg, you're so kind, I love you na, by the way I'm Sheena, pleasure to meet you mahh friend." sabay abot ng kamay nito.

"I'm Kayrelle." sagot ko at nakipagshakehands.

"Nice name, come sit beside me there." paanyaya nito.

"uhmm..okay."

Dumating na ang aming guro na mukhang nasa mid 30's at ipinakilala nito ang kanyang sarili.

"Good day class, I'm Ms. Stella R. Flores, you can call me Ms. Flores.. I'm also fine with Ms. Flawless, I'll be your homeroom and Pre-Calculus teacher, we don't have much to do, and since this is your first day, let's have first the self introduction, let's start here in the front, please come forward."

"Hello, my name is Apollo Bonifacio, I'm 19."

"Hi classmates, my name is Maluo Wang, I'm 18."

"Magandang araw, my name is Chesca Marquez, I'm 18."

"My name is Audrey Bartolome, I'm 19."

Hayys kung mamalasin nga naman ay kaklase ko nanaman itong Queenbee wanna be, named Audrey, not to mention kasama pa nito ang mga alipores niya, well known bullies sila back in our previous school in Pangasinan. They seem to me a pack of wild beasts that left their territory to find another.

I'm not surprised by the fact that she chose Hyemdang High but with the idea that she got accepted, and to be with the same strand and section as her? I must had committed a serious crime in my previous life. I really despise her, acting like superior and stepping on others.

Sunod naman na nagpakilala si Sheena.

"Hi everyone, I'm Sheena Magdayao, yeah it's me the person who captured the heart of Piolo Pascual, kidding aside, I'm Sheena Mae Sanchez, 18, from Quezon City, Philippines, Thank you!"

Natawa ang lahat sa hirit na iyon ni Sheena. Loka-loka din pala siya..we're match pala talaga haha, di ko namalayan na ako na pala ang susunod, nagtungo na ako sa harap at nagpakilala.

"A pleasant day to everyone, I'm Kayrelle Mae A. Patricio, 18 and I'm originally from the province of Pangasinan, but we moved here in Manila, so yeah I'm basically a probinsyana." saad ko with overflowing confidence, gaya nga ng sabi ni Pia Wurtzbach 'I'm confidently beautiful with a heart.'

Pagkatapos ay bumalik na ako sa aking upuan.

May mga ilan pang nagpakilala at pagkatapos ay nagsimula na si Ms. Flores na magbahagi ng House Rules, sa kalagitnaan nito ay may dumating na isang lalaki.

Kasabay ng pagpasok niya ay ang pagbukas ng bibig ng mga kababaihan at sangkabaklaan.

"Omg, it's Calix."

"Woahh, is this for real?" bulungan ng mga ito.

Namangha ako nang masilayan ang kabuuang hitsura nito, doon ko napatunayan na angels do exist and they can appear as human being.

"Oh... a late comer, please introduce yourself." ani Ms. Flores.

"I'm Sirius Calix Harris Ramirez and I'm 18." pagpapakilala nito.

"Ohh... o-kay.. you may take.. your s-eat." Pautal-utal na saad ni Ms. Flores. Naapektuhan ito matapos marinig ang boses ni Calix, iba talaga nagagawa ng mix of good looks at ganda ng boses.

Naupo ito sa may likuran ko. Mukhang popular ito, na bagamat ito pa lamang ang unang araw ng semestre ay kilala na siya ng karamihan, kung sa bagay, with that looks, hello?~ dapat pati ako nakilala ko na siya noon pa charrr, pero mukha siyang attitude.

Dahil nga unang araw palang ng pasukan, ang class adviser pa lamang ang dadalo at makakasama namin buong araw, bukas pa magsisimula ang briefing ng ibang subjects.

Break time na kaya nag-umpisa nang magtipon ang mga dakilang chismosa a.k.a Marites/Mario upang magpulong.

"Omg I can't, ohh Calix is this fate?"

" Back-off b*tch, we're more compatible, you would look like his maid ."

"Stop you two, dream at night, he'll be mine." sagot ni Audrey.

Kung nananaginip man ang bruha ay bangungot na ang kinalalagyan nito.

Sa kabilang dako naman ay grupo ng mga Mario.

"Is he that 'Calix'? yung pinagkaguluhan daw sa school natin nung JHS Interhigh at absent ako?"

"Yeah he is, he look arrogant."

"These girls are ridiculous, I'm way more handsome than him."

Hay naku nagsalita ang mukhang kohol, in what part ha? mas may hitsura pa nga ang siko ni Calix kesa sa mukha mo, Omg kayrelle.. you're being mean.

Ibinaling ko na lamang ang aking mata sa nayukong si Calix.

"Ahh siya ba? we've been classmate since elementary..but we're never grew close, he seems near but distant." out of nowhere na saad ni Sheena.

Hala lalim nun girl, pero isa ka paring pinagpalang nilalang, since elementary? like what the h*ck, you've stayed in heaven for that long? Haha ..yeah I know I'm over exaggerating.

"Ohh.." sabi ko na lang.

"He's actually known for being cold , emotionless/heartless." dagdag pa nito.

Aguy... grabe naman kung maka-emotionless, heartless 'to, ako yung nasaktan at naoffend para kay Calix.

"Yeah , he might be offended if he happens to hear, but he's actually like that, I remember when we were in grade 1, he got a quite deep wound but he didn't flashed any emotion, in grade 2 he won an entire competition but no reaction at all, it has continued but the worst is the recent, he lost his close friend from an accident which occured near our school in JHS and he just stood there without any sort of emotion." pagpapaliwanang nito.

Calix's Pov:

People surely enjoy talking about someone, his story and pain. They keep on minding others' business, they talk like they know anything, why don't they just live their life. I just want to live in silence, but sharp and hurtful words keep crossing my ears, but yeah they're may be right.. I'm arrogant and heartless.
