"How long should I tell you to behave like a girl!" How long should I stay here. Let me look at my watch. Okay I have 10 more minutes and I can leave.

Bakit paulit ulit nalang siya sa litanya niya. Hindi ba siya nagsasawa.

Okay times up, I'll should go now.

Agad akong lumabas ng bahay dala dala ang gamit ko. Bago pa ako makalayo ng bahay ay narinig ko pa ang pagsigaw niya.

------

Ngayon lang ako makakapasok dito. Saan ko ba siya mahahanap. Dapat pala nag paintay ako sa kanya sa labas.

Halos nalibot na niya ang lugar pero hindi parin niya makita. Ilang minuto pa ang lumipas ng may biglang nanggulat sa kanya mula sa likod. Kaya nagulat naman siya at akmang susuntukin na niya yung tao.

"Oy! Ako lang to, ang pinakang gwapong kaybigan mo sa ba-" hindi na niya pinatapos pa ang sasabihin nito dahil alam naman niya at ilang beses na niya itong narinig mula sa bibig ng taong kaharap niya ngayon.

"Oo alam ko na, at ng buong mundo. Kaya pwede ba tayo na ano, kanina pa ako paikot ikot dito para hanapin ka. Tapos bigla ka nalang susulpot kung saan"

"Shhhh... Tayo na nga at mukhang late kana"

Late na nga siya, dahil naguumpisa na sila. Her friend was the one who knock at the door. Someone open it for them. A guy that has same height ng kaybigan niya.

They both look at each other, she look away.

"Yow! Lucas, so this is my friend that I'm talking about last week. She wan't to join the art summer, so if you don't mind can you accommodate her" tinignan niya ulit ito at saka siya sumangayon kay Mark.

"Yeah, sure btw can I talk to you for a second"  

"Okay, pumasok kana sa loob" pagsanayon niya at saka pumasok si Sam sa loob.

Tinignan niya ang  paligid, and the students. Her mind for a second stop because of what she see.

The heck?!

Agad siyang napalabas at hinanap yung kaybigan niya. Nakakunot noon siya na nakatingin sa kaybigan niya, habang may kausap ito.

He just smile at her, na ikinainis ni sam. Nilapitan na niya ito kaya napatigil si lucas sa pagsasalita.

"What the heck!" Bulong ko kay mark.

"What?" Nagtatakang tamong nito, dahil hindi niya maintindihan kung bakit ito nagagalit.

"I should go back inside, so you guys can talk" pagpapaalam ni lucas. Kaya tumango si mark.

"Oh, anong problema mo?"

"Bakit hindi mo sinabi saakin?" Naiinis na sabi niya.

"Na ano?"

"Na pangbata ang art summer!"

"Huh? Sinabi ko yun sayo ah. Hindi kaba nakikinig saakin noon?"

"Sh*t, Kung alam ko edi sana hindi ako nagrereklamo ngayon" okay kasalanan ko na, I just remember something.

"Okay okay I'm sorry. I over did it again. I'm very sorry mark" She said and continue.

"This stupid mouth of mine"

"It's fine with me Sam, but next time makinig ka sa sinasabi ng ibang tao"

"Yes, yes" She said and smile at Mark

"I should go inside"

Alam ni Mark na may anger issue si Sam, as much as possible Sam trying her best para hindi umatake or makasakit ng iba dahil sa anger issue niya.

Mark was the close person that Sam trusted and he was also helping Sam in her anger issue.

Her friend Mark was the one ask Sam to attend Art Summer because it might help her. She was not really going to accept it because she's not into art. But Mark insisted, that's why she accept it. Mark was not the owner of the school kung saan umaattend ang mga student for art summer it was his father. Since it's summer no student attending school his father accept his offer to open a small Art shop/ summer which age 11-13 can learn art.

That's the reason kung bakit nakapasok si Sam.

Bata lang naman sila Sam, so you need to relax yourself. Do not over do it again. Inhale and exhale, you can do this right? Right sam?

Yes I can do this.

She was in the front of the door and trying her best to smile, for no reason. And she just realized why would she even need to smile.

Mark already left her. Bubuksan na niya sana yung pinto ng bigla itong magbukas, kaya nagulat naman siya.

"Ay gulay!"

"May balak ka bang patayin ako sa gulat!" Pagrereklamo niya.

"I'm-" Magsosorry na sana yung tao ng bigla namang magsalita ulit si sam.

"Char lang, wag mong pansinin yung sinabi ko. Ganon talaga ako kapag nagugulat" Nice one Sam muntik na atang matakot sayo yung tao.

Pumasok nalang ako sa loob at naghanap ng pwesto na mauupuan ko. Since lahat sila ay bata and hindi gaano katangkad sa dulo nalang ako pwepwesto.

Ng makahanap na ako papunta na ako duon ng may biglang magtanong na bata saakin.

"Are you a new Art teacher?" The kid was asking nicely to me.

"No kid" pagkasabi ko noon pumunta na ako sa pwesto ko.

Nakatingin parin sila saakin, like they're where waiting for something. Should I saw something or what?

Nasan na ba yung teacher?

"Do you guys ahm... wanna play?" Since wala pa yung teacher naisipan ni Sam na makipag laro muna sa mga bata. Kaysa nakatingin ang mga ito sa kanya, na hindi siya komportable.
