Klein Samantha Dy

My head throbbed, my body ached, and I'm dehydrated as fuck. I just wanna go home and lay on my bed. 

I looked up and all I see is Reign in front of me.

I can't believe that this is happening to me. How did I end up meeting him, talking to him, and worst, even had sex with him? Just how in the world did I end up sitting in his class and being his student?

Oh my God, Klein Samantha. What have you done?

I need to find a new university that I can transfer to. I have to leave this place and migrate somewhere far and isolated. I have to go somewhere. Just anywhere as long as it's away from here. 

I just can't believe that this is actually happening to me. Of all the people that could have sat next to me in the bar and of all the classes that I could've enrolled to, dito pa talaga ako napadpad. There are thousands of possibilities. But here I am, sitting in his class and listening to him talk. Hindi ko na alam kung destiny ba 'to o parusa. 

I had no idea what happened in class. I wasn't able to listen and participate the entire time. I was just spacing out for two hours thinking about what school will I transfer to.

"What should we eat for lunch?" Tanong ni Finn nang matapos ang klase.

"Uh, can you go ahead? Just go and get some milk and soup for me. Susunod na lang ako."

"Why? May dadaanan ka ba?"

"I just need to talk to Mr. Stellars."

He raised an eyebrow, "And why do you need to talk to him?"

"He wanted me to stay after class remember? Plus, I need to apologize to him for being late."

"You need to apologize to me too."

"Apologize for what?"

"Apologize for wearing an ugly ass shirt to school." Natatawa niyang sabi.

"It's not ugly. It's trendy." She said in defense.

"Since when did that became a trend?" He asked.

I smiled, "Just now." 

"Whatever. I'll just meet you at the cafeteria." He said and I nodded as I watched him leave.

When the room was finally empty and it was just me and him, I looked at Reign again and saw him organizing a pile of papers on his desk. I stood there and stared at him for a moment and I can't help but be attracted to him. He looked fit in his knit sweater and grey chino pants. He had nerd glasses on and he looked cuter in it. 

How can someone be so sexy and cute at the same time?

I touched my lips as I look at his. It's crazy how I can still feel his lips and body against mine. The fantasies of him makes butterflies dance in my stomach.

"Mr. Stellars." Tawag ko nang makalapit ako sa kanya.

I played with my fingers anxiously as I waited for him to look at me. 

"My clothes look good on you." Sabi niya kaya naman natigilan ako. I looked up at him and he's already looking at me. 

"No." I said sharply. Without meeting his eyes, I said, "We can't do this Rei...I mean sir." I said, trying to stand firm despite my knees wobbling. Then I continued, "We have to forget what happened. I swear if I knew that I was your student, I'd do nothing like what I did yesterday. I suggest that we forget what happened, Mr. Stellars. That's the only way for me to survive this school year and for you to keep your job." 

I looked at him to see what he would say and how he would react. But despite what I just said, he remained silent and for some strange reason, I want him to disagree with me.  

Tiningnan ko siya habang may kinukuha siya sa bag niya. Matapos ang ilang segundo ay nilapag niya sa lamesa ang isang bote ng tubig at isang tableta ng hindi ko mawaring gamot.

"It's Aspirin. Drink it for your hangover." The only thing that he said.

"Didn't you hear me just now?" Tanong ko. 

"I heard you, Ms. Klein, and I understood everything that you said. You can leave the classroom now." He said which somehow hurt me. 

What's wrong with me? I was the one who wanted to forget everything. I didn't expect neither of us to decide to continue this ill fated relationship. But why was I disappointed? At higit sa lahat, bakit parang nasaktan ako nang sumangayon siya sakin na kalimutan ang lahat?

"O...okay." I said as I turned around to leave. 

"But please do take the medicine and the water." Sabi niya kaya naman napahinto ako sa paglalakad. 

"What?"

"Nagaalala pa rin ako sayo, Klein. Aaminin ko na tulad mo ay wala rin akong alam. Dahil kung alam ko lang na estudyante pala kita, I wouldn't allow anything like what happened last night to happen again. So it's the best that we forget about it." He said without looking at me. 

Then he stopped what he was doing to look at me and when our eyes met, my heart raced without warning. 

"Also, please attend the class earlier next time. I hate late comers."

"Ayaw mo pala ng late comers eh bakit hindi mo 'ko ginising bago ka umalis?"

He grinned, "I knew you were tired." He said which made me blush.

"So you knew that I was your student? It looked like you expected it. You weren't even as surprised as I was. You even called my name."

"I saw your ID in your purse."

"So you rummaged through my stuff?" I asked. 

I don't know why but my headache is making me mad even though I don't have the intention to be mad at him.

He scoffed as he looked at me from head to toe.

"You're mad at me for looking through your stuff when you're even wearing my clothes?"

"Whatever." Sabi ko at bahagya naman siyang tumawa bilang tugon.

What was that? Why does he have to laugh like that? And why does he have to be that sexy?

"Go ahead and take your lunch now. Remember to take your Aspirin."

"May tanong lang ako." Sabi ko kaya naman napatingin siya sakin. He leaned against the desk and crossed his arms as he stared at me, anticipating whatever it is that I have to ask.

"Were you drunk last night?" I asked.

For some reason, I wanna be assured that he did everything that he did last night out of his own will and not because he was under the influence of alcohol. I don't know why I'm like this but I wanted to know that he was aware and that he did what he did because he wanted to not because he had to.

"Hindi. Eh ikaw?" Tanong niya.

"I was drunk." Pagsisinungaling ko.

Hindi ko rin alam kung bakit kailangan ko magsinungaling. Sinabi ko na lang kung ano 'yung una kong naisip na sabihin na sadya namang pinagsisihan ko agad. 

"Okay." The only thing that he said before getting back to his desk. Habang nagaayos siya ng mga papeles sa lamesa niya ay narinig ko siyang bumulong na halata namang sinadya niyang iparinig sakin.

"Dapat pala hinatid na lang kita." He said that tore my heart.
