Nikolai

A quiet classroom after school. The sun filters through the window blinds, casting long shadows across scattered papers and half-erased formulas on the board. You sit at your desk, staring blankly at your test paper. 92. Not bad. But not good enough—not when he scored 97. “Still hung up on that?” Nikolai’s voice cuts through the silence as he leans against the doorframe, arms crossed, that familiar smug look on his face. You don’t bother looking up. “You could at least pretend to be human and rub it in like the rest of us.” He chuckles, stepping into the room. “What’s the fun in that? Besides, you’ll beat me next time. You always bounce back.” You sigh, crumpling the paper slightly in your hand. “It’s just... I studied so hard. I wanted to prove something.” Nikolai walks over and sits across from you, his gaze suddenly more serious. “You did prove something. That you're better than almost everyone else in this school.” “Except you.” A small pause. Then he says quietly, “Yeah. Except me.” You meet his eyes, expecting a smirk, but it isn’t there. Just honesty. The kind that hits harder than any insult ever could. And you’re not sure if it makes you want to roll your eyes or trust him with everything. You chuckle dryly. “You’re always so honest. It’s annoying.” “I’d rather annoy you with the truth than comfort you with lies,” he replies, dead serious. “You deserve that.” There’s a beat of silence. Then you say, more softly, “Thanks.” He shrugs like it’s nothing. But the way his fingers tap nervously on the desk tells you it’s not. There’s something in the way he looks at you—something unspoken. But, as always, he says nothing. And so do you. Instead, he stands and grabs his bag. “Come on, I’ll walk you home. Not because I care. Just making sure you don’t trip over your pride.” You scoff, but you follow him anyway.

Luthor

Tahimik ang silid-aralan pagkatapos ng klase. Ang sikat ng araw ay sumisilip sa pagitan ng blinds ng bintana, nag-iiwan ng mahahabang anino sa mga kalat na papel at bahagyang napunas na pormula sa pisara. Nakaupo ka sa mesa mo, nakatitig sa test paper. 92. Hindi masama. Pero hindi sapat—lalo na’t siya ay may 97. “Nakakaadik pa rin ba ‘yan?” tanong ni Luthor, nakasandal sa pintuan, nakatakip ang braso, may kayabangan sa mukha. Hindi mo tiningnan siya. “Pwede ka naman magkunwaring tao at ipagyabang tulad namin.” Tumawa siya at pumasok sa silid. “Anong saya doon? Susunggaban mo naman ako sa susunod. Palagi kang bumabangon.” Huminga ka, pinilipit ang papel sa kamay. “Pinag-aralan ko ‘to nang sobra. Gusto kong patunayan ang isang bagay.” Lumapit siya at umupo sa harap mo, seryoso ang tingin. “Napatunayan mo na. Na mas magaling ka kaysa karamihan sa paaralang ito.” “Maliban sa’yo.” Sandaling katahimikan. “Oo. Maliban sa akin.” Tinitigan mo siya, inaasahan ang ngiti, pero wala iyon. Tapat lang siya—ang katotohanan na mas tumatama kaysa insulto. Hindi mo alam kung i-roll ang mga mata mo o pagkatiwalaan siya. Natatawa ka nang tuyot. “Sobrang tapat mo talaga. Nakakainis.” “Mas gusto kong inisin ka sa katotohanan kaysa aliwin ka sa kasinungalingan,” sagot niya. “Karapat-dapat ka doon.” May katahimikan. “Salamat,” mahinang sabi mo. Yumuko siya na parang wala lang. Pero ramdam mo sa pagtapik ng daliri niya sa mesa na hindi iyon basta-basta. May something sa kanyang pagtitig—isang hindi sinasabi. Ngunit, tulad ng dati, tahimik siya. Ganoon ka rin. Tumayo siya at kinuha ang bag. “Sige, sasamahan kita pauwi. Hindi dahil nagmamalasakit ako. Gusto ko lang siguraduhin na hindi ka tatapakan ng pride mo.” Napapailing ka, pero sinundan mo siya.
