An annoying sound of my alarm woke my soul as soon as it reach to six in the morning. I cover my face with my pillow not want to get up yet. I heard my mom's footsteps coming into my room.
She turned off my alarm and sat at the edge of my bed, "Ariella Dominique Hughes, bumangon kana dyan or else you will be late with your morning class." she said. Nice, my mother just called me with my freaking full name.
"Five more minutes, mom. I promise." I lazily uttered with my eyes closed. "And can you not call me with my full name every morning?" I opened my one eye and close it again.
"Get up, darling. I know how slow you are to get ready." She gently tapped my arm. " Do you want to pissed your dad off? Sige ka." She chuckled.
I have no other options but to get up. I rubbed my eyes with my fingers and saw my mom smiling at me. Hay..I love my mother.
"Quick, quick, quick! Para makain mo lahat ng breakfast mo." She kissed my forehead before leaving my room.
I force myself to get in the bathroom and took a bath.
After I finish my breakfast I bid goodbye to my mom and to my little brother. My dad's gonna drive me at school, I hate him. No I mean I hate his old jokes. He's a typical father that every daughter want, well not me.
I bid goodbye to him and proceed inside this huge private school. I'm a grade twelve student, and yes I hate being at school.
"Bruha!" Guess who it is? My bitch friend who always nag me everytime we're together.
I crossed my arms while waiting for her to come closer. She always wear her shining shimmering smile, she's cute but not my type. Not this bruha, yuck.
"Can you lower down your voice? Wala ka sa bundok para sumigaw kung kailan gusto mo." I flashed my poker face.
"You're so baluktot mag tagalog." She laughed. Didn't she notice her conyoness?
"Are you just gonna tease me or tell me something interesting?" We walked side by side at the corridor. Most of eyes were on us. I can't complain tho, we're absolutely hot. Kidding. But yes, nevermind.
"So ito na nga, there's a new teacher daw na papalit sa teacher natin sa General Biology 1 and 2. Aren't you excited?" Catherine squealed a little bit in a high pitch.
"Nothing excites me, Cath. And besides, some other teachers are terror or tryna intimidate us." I hate that. They could have at least be kind. I cannot blame them, a lot of students are hard-headed as freak.
"You think he'll be hot as Mr. Morales?" Her cheeks were flushed red. Ew, Catherine.
"We'll see. You don't even know if it's a girl or boy. Calm your ass." I chuckled and we took a seat to our designated seats.
My chair is near to the window. I couldn't take my sight to the view of nature outside. The bell rang indicating that all classes will start anytime soon.
I was too distracted that I didn't notice everyone in the class stood up to greet our new teacher.
"Pst, Ariella!" Catherine tapped my shoulder that made go back to my senses.
I looked around and everyone were looking at me. My sight stopped to the lady in front of the class wearing her cold expression with her arms crossed.
"Too distracted?" She finally spoke. Her voice sents shivers down my spine. It was just a two words but it sounds so soothing in my ears. Her voice is soft.
I cleared my throat and embarrassingly stood up. "G- good morning, ma'am." I have never been stuttered in my whole life. I'm not the kind of person who's affected with someone else's presence, but this woman in front of us says otherwise.
She ignored me and everyone sat down. Rude.
" I'm Irene Marcos. I'll be your temporary teacher in General Biology for four months." She coldly look each every one of us.
"How old are you, ma'am?" Catherine boldly asked. This bitch. I mean there's nothing wrong asking her her age.
"Any questions?" She ignored my friend's question, and no one dared to talk. Why don't she just tell her age? I must say she's 33. She looks young tho. Her high waisted trouser and white blouse reveals her fine body figure. Her pixie hair cut is kinda messy which is very hot for me. I smirked my at my own thoughts.
"What about you, Ms?" She diverted her eyes on me. From all the people? Ugh, I hate my life. I can tell her I have nothing to ask, stop being dramatic Ariella.
"Are you married?" What am I have done this time? I wish the ground will open and eat the hell the out me.
She stared at me with her cold eyes before turning her back to write something on the board completely ignoring my question.
I heard Catherine snickered, "Shut up." My mood is absolutely ruined. I didn't give so much attention with her subject instead, I just did something nonsense to my notebook.
The class went so slow like a snail. I groan and couldn't stop tapping my shoes on the ground.
Ten minutes had passed the bell already rang. Me and Catherine was about to walk out the room but this cold-hearted lady called me.
"Ariella," Catherine give me the I'll go ahead, and wait for you look. I just nodded to her and turn my gaze to Ms. Marcos.
How did she know my name? I haven't introduce myself yet. Or maybe she saw it on our book records with our pictures in it. The way she uttered my name gives prickle in my chest.
"Sit." She simply said, I don't know why I quickly did when in fact intimidating teachers don't make me follow what they want, but here I am.
" You didn't pay attention to my class. Hindi ko alam kung ganito ka rin sa ibang subject mo, but don't you ever do that to me." Her tagalog is so sexy. Would you mind teaching me? I smiled unconsciously.
"What's so funny?" She coldy asked and crossed her arms.
"Y- yes, ma'am Marcos. It won't happen again." Our eyes met, her brown eyes are so enticing. Stop, Ariella. You're not gay or a lesbian. Just shut the hell up.
"Good." She tilded her head before speaking again, "you can leave now." I just nodded and look at her once again but she's too occupied checking our papers.
"What a beauty." I uttered.
