Nagmadali akong tumayo upang maligo dahil malamang late na ako, Gosh it's already 6:00 in the morning and I still have a class at exactly 9 am oh my fridge. After I took a shower, I put on my formal attire, it's Friday so we can wear whatever we want, every Friday we can wear anything formal.

I went to my kitchen to cook for breakfast and lunch. I prepared everything in just an hour. I cook egg and ham for my breakfast and chicken spicy adobo for my lunch that's now on my lunch box. I prepare a cup of coffee, of course I can't stand the whole day without my daily dose of coffee.
After eating breakfast, I washed my plates and brushed my teeth before finally going out to wait for a bus. I checked my wrist watch and I sighed in relief because it's just 8:20, I bet I won't be late because the university is not that far from my apartment.

Pagkarating ko sa unibersidad ay tuloy tuloy akong naglakad sa gate dahil suot ko naman ang id ko at kilala naman ako ng mga guard kaya makakapasok ako nang walang inaalalang kung ano ano, nagtuloy tuloy lang ako sa paglalakad na parang walang mga tao sa paligid dahil as usual maraming estudyante ang nagkukumpol kumpol sa paligid tuwing break lalong lalo na sa lawn. Pagkarating ko sa room namin ay tatlong kaklase ko lang ang naabutan ko na siyang ipinagtaka ko ngunit nagpatuloy pa rin ako. I quietly sat on my chair and just open my manageri accounting book to have an advance reading. I'm in the middle of reading when one of the three approach me. She's cute, she got a curly hair and a thick brows, a rounded eyes with a glass. She smiled at me, oh wow she's really cute.
"Hi, I'm Jannah." pagpapakilala niya habang ang kamay niya ay nakaabot sa akin, I plastered a genuine smile and took her hand "Aviana Celestine" I introduced.

"Wala ka bang sasalihang club? Dito ka lang din sa room?" sunod sunod na tanong nya. "huh? What club?" I asked.
"Oh opening of clubs today, you didn't know?" ah opening of clubs pala today, I shrug.

"Would you like to come with me Aviana? I'll roam around." She invited. I smiled at her and accepted her invitation, I slid my book inside my bag and stood up.

Habang naglalakad kami sa hallway ay nadaanan namin ang isang studio, I saw a girl dancing inside, ballet dancer huh. I stared at her, examining her face, she's so pretty, perfect brows, chinky eyes, perfect nose, rosy cheeks and oh she got a pair of deep dimples on her cheeks, her rosy lips and her elegant moves that captured me, she's adorable.
"Valentine Gutierrez, ganda no?" Sambit ni Jannah. I almost forgot that I'm with her.
I looked at her and just nodded. Hindi lang maganda dahil sobrang ganda nya, para syang anghel.

"Let's go" Hinatak na ni Jannah ang kamay ko upang lumibot pa sa ibang studio, nadaanan namin ang mga iba't ibang clubs like arts.

"Jannah, can we eat first please? I'm starving." I plead with a puppy eyes. She chuckled cutely and pinched my both cheeks that made me pouts and we just found ourselves laughing at each other with God knows why.
"You're so cute!"
"Ang cute mo!" Nanlaki ang mga mata namin pareho at sabay nanamang tumawa, ang saya nya kasama, I found a friend omg, a cute friend, thank God. After the hysterical laughs we shared we finally decided to go to the cafeteria because according to her she's also hungry. Kumuha agad kami ng tray pagkarating namin at dumampot ng foods.

After we got our food and paid, we went to the vacant table that is near the door. I got a burger, a piece of pizza, carbonara and iced tea. Janna eyed me and my food back to my face like I just did a crime, oh Gosh what's wrong with this girl.

"Dami mong kinuha girl, bibitayin ka?" Napaismid sya habang nakataas ang isang kilay. I pouted my lips because of what she said. "Oh my fridge, what's wrong with you? I told you I'm hungry!hmp." Pagmamaktol ko dahilan upang matawa sya. "What? What's so funny Jannah? Pinagtritripan mo ba ako?" I pouted even more, what the fridge is wrong with this girl.
"Oh my fridge" panggagaya nya sakin, she even pouted to annoy me so I pretended to be annoyed. I rolled my eyes to her and started eating my foods.
"Kaya pala you keep on saying 'FRIDGE' kasi ang takaw mo, are you looking for your fridge?" she laugh obviously teasing me but I just let her do that, I'm busy eating duh.

"Dahan dahan Aviana, hindi naman kita aagawan sa pagkain mo eh" ayan nanaman sya hayst. Kanina pa sya asar ng asar sa'kin pero napapangiti na lang ako sa mga pang aasar nya. "Kumain ka na lang Jannah." Utos ko.
"Oh girl tapos na ako." Sabi nya, ang bilis naman nya, sabagay isang burger at iced tea lang kinuha nya.
"Ganyan ka talaga kumain? Bakit maganda katawan mo? Gym?" Tuloy tuloy na tanong nya.
"uh no, di ako nagg-gym. Yes ganto talaga ako kumain, why?" tanong ko. Hindi ako naggygym or kung ano man, tamang kain lang, I really love eating mas masarap tong mga pagkain kesa sa sweet words na binabato ng mga magjowa tapos kilig kilig tapos pagdating sa huli talo, hindi naman magkakatuluyan tss, ikain mo na lang busog ka pa.
"Totoo? Hala kaloka girl ang sexy mo! Unfair naman, hindi ka nag eexercise or what? Tapos ako tamang maintain lang ng kinakain para hindi tumaba! Tapos kung ano anong paghihirap sa gym? Argh so unfair!" Pagmamaktol nya na ikinatawa ko, she's sexy naman eh para siyang model, tapos bakit kailangang imaintain iyong kinakain mo para hindi ka tumaba? Mas maganda ata kung mataba ewan ko lang bakit kain ako ng kain pero 'di naman ako tumataba.

"Hindi eh, mas sexy ka naman eh, I thought you're kind of a model nga because of your poise." Pag-amin ko. Totoo, parang model si Jannah, she's not skinny not chubby, she looks like a princess, napakacute.

She just smiled and after that we decided to roam around again to see the remaining clubs we still didn't saw kanina.

Hinawakan ni Jannah ang aking kanang kamay upang hatakin sa nagkukumpulang mga tao na karamihan ay kababaihan sa isang room, maybe another club, what's with that club? Why is there a bunches of people there? Why are they screaming? Oh my fridge they're going wild especially girls. Hinatak lang ako ng hinatak ni Jannah hanggang makarating kami sa bandang iyon but still, hindi namin makita what's the reason behind those bunch of people screaming and going wild kaya naman napapikit ako nang hatakin ako ni Jannah upang sumiksik sa mga tao kahit nabunggo bunggo na kami dahil sa dami at nabingi na kami sa ingay nila hanggang sa makarating kami sa pinakaharap.

Pinakiramdaman ko ang aking braso dahil may parte doong medyo masakit dala ng pagkakalmot ng hindi sinasadya ng hindi ko kilala kung sino dahil bigla na lang akong hatakin ni Jannah, Gosh this girl, really.
Niyugyog ako ni Jannah kaya tumingin ako sa kanya. "Look girl! The band! Oh my God, they're back they're here, God, I miss the view, they're so hot and look girl they're all-"

Hindi ko na narinig ang mga sumunod na sasabihin ni Jannah dahil tumingin na ako sa harap kung saan may nakita akong banda na nagpeperform, I looked at their guitarist and examined him, he's handsome, may piercing sya sa ears nya and he's just playing his guitar calmly. Napunta sa drummer ang atensyon ko, katulad ng guitarist, he got a piercing on his ears and absolutely handsome too, he's so simple, he's just wearing a simple white v-neck shirt, may suot na dog tag and ripped jeans, but he looked bored. I looked at the owner of the voice because I can't stand his relaxing voice, buong buo iyong boses nya at napakaganda ng boses nya, para akong dinadala sa mga ulap.

Bigla akong natutop sa kinatatayuan ko ng makita ko kung sinong nag mamay-ari ng boses na iyon.

"Nitong umaga lang, pagkalambing lambing Ng iyong mga matang hayop kung tumingin
Nitong umaga lang, pagkagaling galing ng iyong sumpang walang aawat sa atin...."

Hindi ko na narinig ang mga sumunod na linya nang salubungin ko ang mga mata nya. Biglang bumagal ang paligid ng makita ko ang kanyang mga namumungay na mata.

  Pakiramdam ko ay bumagal ang kanyang mga galaw at huminto sa paggalaw ang mga tao. Am I imagining or he's staring at me? Why the hell would this bastard do that? Why is he staring at me? Sinong mag aakalang may ganitong boses 'tong lalaking nakabangga ko sa resto? Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nang matapos ang kanta. He plastered a smile on his lips as the audiences clap their hands on them, the band bowed and smile to us while all the students around here is clapping and admiring them. I saw him smile, a genuine one, he looked at me and wink before they disappear in our sight.
