Julia Allard's POV

"Julia, nagawa mo yung assignment sa PolGov?" "Julia, pakopya ako nung notes sa DIASS." "Pres, tawag ka ni Sir sa faculty." "Pres, need na natin ng bagong walis."

I sighed na lang as I picked up my phone and walked to the front of the class, knocking on the whiteboard to get everyone's attention.

"Alright, everyone. Isa isa lang. Eisenhower matrix. Dun muna tayo sa do part. Ano yung importante and kailangan na iaddress?"

Isa isa nagsitaas ng kamay yung classmates ko.

"Jeremy?" "Kailangan natin ng bagong walis." "Noted. Kathy?" "Ubos na markers natin." "Okay. Sofia?" "Need natin ng bagong battery for the remote sa TV." "Sige. Jayden?" "Need natin ng trash bags for the bins."

I nodded. "Sige. Yung decide. Ano ano yung importante pero hindi urgent. One at a time."

I watched as their hands shot up in the air.

"Cali?" "Yung curtains natin." "Okay. Dorothy?" "Yung first aid kit natin, need na irestock." "Noted. Ralph?" "Palitin yung light bulb natin sa likod."

I nodded. "Sige. Delegate. Ano yung urgent pero hindi importante?"

Dalawang kamay yung nagtaas.

"Sige. Courtney?" "Yung locks sa lockers natin. I can go buy tonight. If may magpapasabay, mag chat na lang kayo sa GC tas bukas nyo na lang bayadan." "Okay. Yana?" "Since need natin ng bagong erasers for the whiteboard, I can go buy naman tonight."

Tumango na lang ako. "Okay sige. Lastly, delete."

Before I could continue, there was a knock on our door. "Sige lang."

The door opened and the SC Chairman, Yuki, and the Vice Chairman, Mika, walked in. "Good morning, Chairman and Vice Chairman."

Tumango lang si Yuki. "Good morning, Teresa. We're here today to announce na for the English Month, may Spelling Bee competition tayo. We need 1 participant per section. Meron bang gustong mag nominate?"

Biglang nagtaas ng kamay yung class vice president namin. Yuki turned to him. "Josh?"

Ngumiti si Josh sa akin before sya sumagot. "Si President po."

I stared at him disbelief. "Ha? Me?"

Then, my other classmates agreed.

"Oo. Dapat si Pres yung representative natin." "Kaya nga! Di ba most articulate awardee sya last year?" "Tas di ba nanalo sya ng Championship sa Spelling Bee nung Grade 10 sya?"

Nakinig si Yuki sa comments ng mga classmates ko before nodding. "Alright. Then it's settled. Ms. Allard, ikaw ang representative ng Teresa sa Spelling Bee this English month."

I looked at him. "Ha? Do I not get a say in this? Bakit ako?"

Yuki shrugged before turning back to my classmates. "Okay. Thank you for your time, Teresa. Julia, the competition is on February 27."

He then turned to leave, Mika close behind him.

I glared at his back.

Ugh! So arrogant.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Nagulat ako nung bigla akong kinalabit ni Miko.

"Huy. Tulala ka na naman dyan. Mukhang ang lalim ng iniisip mo ah."

Napabuntong hininga na lang ako habang umiiling ng lumapit sa amin si Tere.

"Hoy, teh. I heard from the Chairman na ikaw daw rep ng Teresa sa Spelling Bee competition?"

I crossed my arms. "Speaking of him, pagsabihan nyo nga yang Chairman nyo! Para namang hindi nya alam na busy din ako with my club and duties."

Miko laughed. "You really do hate his guts, huh?"

I scoffed. "Of course I hate his guts. He's the most arrogant, insufferable, insensitive, infuriating, AND aggravating person I know."

I heard someone laugh as they walked up to our table. It was Peter, Miko's boyfriend, Emerson, Tere's boyfriend, and the devil himself.

He smirked as he sat right in front of me. "Ang lawak naman ng vocabulary mo, Ms. Allard. Bagay na bagay ka talaga as a spelling bee representative. Sayang. Ang ganda mo sana kaso you're so bitter."

Oh, I couldn't help but wish I could punch him to wipe off that stupid smirk on his face.

Peter smiled as he placed a kiss on Miko's cheek. I gagged. "No PDA please."

And just as I said that, Emerson kissed Tere on the forehead, making Peter and the jerk in front of me laugh. I groaned.

"Why don't you get a room? Para naman kayong ewan. Respeto naman. I'm still here, you know."

Natawa si Emerson sa comment ko. "Pakiss ka na lang dyan kay Yuki. Kunwari ka pa, crush mo lang din naman yan."

I looked at him in disbelief. "Excuse me? Ew, no. I would rather kiss a frog than magpakiss dyan sa panda na yan."

Peter and Emerson laughed. "Pre, panda ka daw oh." "Ginawa ba namang panda. Ano ka? Foodpanda? Si Kuya Rider?"

Yuki smirked. "At least I'm not a bitter melon who's stuck up."

I glared at him. "At least I don't look down and mock Non-STEM sections."

Yuki rolled his eyes. "Brat."

I stuck my tongue out at him. "Cretin."

Tumawa lang si Yuki. "'Di ba? Sabi sa'yo eh. Mala-Bridgerton yung vocab nyang si Julia. Walking dictionary yan eh. Dapat hindi Julia Allard yung name mo. Lady Julia Bridgerton. Kaso ugaling kanal nga lang sya."

I rolled my eyes. "I don't need your backhanded compliments, Yuki. And I don't need your sarcasm."

Yuki smiled teasingly. "Sorry na po, Princess Julia."

I gagged. "Kadiri ka. Wala ka bang magawa sa buhay at naisipan mong demonyohin ako?"

Kinindatan lang ako nung ipis na nagkatawang tao. "Cute kasi ng reactions mo eh. Parang garapata."

Miko and the others laughed. "Ew. Baliw ka, Yuki. Sa dami dami ng pwede mong icompare, sa garapata pa talaga."

I looked at him, confused. "What's a 'garapata'?"

Yuki smiled. "Fleas."

I glared at him as the bell rang. "You're utterly vexing," I said as I stood up to gather my things.

Yuki Rosario's POV

"Yuki! Sama ka ba? Mag SM kami nila Miko," tanong ni Peter.

I raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Sino sinong kasama?"

Tumayo si Emerson. "Kami ni Peter, si Miko, si Therese, tas si Julia."

Napangiti ako.

So the stuck up is coming. This should be fun.

I nodded. "Sige. Sama ako. Anong gagawin nyo ba doon?"

Inayos ni Emerson yung gamit nya. "Dumating na daw yung sweldo ni Julia kaya manlilibre sya. Balak nya daw sana mag Japanese food."

I raised an eyebrow. "Sweldo? She works?"

Tumango si Peter. "Oo. Part time novelist sya. Pagkakaalam ko, she earn $1000 per month kasi american company yung pinapasokan nya eh."

I smirked. "Wow. Akala ko spoiled sya sa parents nya. So own money nya pala ginagastos nya."

Emerson nodded. "Yeah. Alam ko, 55k din narerecieve nya sa parents nya pero sabi ni Therese, napupunta daw yung 50% ng allowance nya and 25% ng sahod nya sa savings nya. Mayaman din kasi sya eh."

I nodded. "Anyways, since tapos na class natin, alis na tayo?"

The two of them nodded as we all exited the classroom.
