Vague Skies' Mistake [Her Love Series #1]

Chapter 3

 Graduation

After jogging ay bumalik na ako sa bahay, I ate breakfast first before the getting ready. I took a bath and brushed my teeth, I wore my grey spaghetti shirt and army green high waisted cargo pants, walang dress code kaya I can wear anything I want. Naglagay ako ng light make up, I made sure na ang dark circles sa mata ko ay natatakpan, I put on cheek tint and tinted lip balm.

After getting ready, bumaba na ako to get my water container filled. And also wait for my driver, kase coding ako ngayon. I was holding my water container with my left hand and the reviewer with my right. I heard the car roaring kaya lumabas na ako, I went inside our Trailblazer. Buong biyahe ay nagrereview lang ako, I reviewed na kagabi, but I want to refresh information in my mind kaya ko inaral uli.

Dumating ako sa school 10 minutes before the time. Napansin kong kakaibang titig ang ipinupukol sa akin ng mga estudyante. May ilang hindi nahihiyang magbulungan habang nakatingin sa akin, pero halatang ako ang pinaguusapan nila. May ilan namang hindi nga nagbubulungan pero grabe naman kung tumitig, may ilang pagirap pang ginagawa.

Naalala kong kahapon nga pala ay nakita kaming dalawa ni Christopher na magkasama, siguro dahil doon kaya sila napapatingin sa akin. Siguradong kumalat na sa buong Uni ang balita, isa pa sa dahilan ay kahihiwalay lang ni Christopher at Rita. Ang balak kong kumuha muna lang nang makakain bago magexam ay naudlot na, naiilang na ako sa mga titig nang ilang estudyante sa akin.

Dumiretso na ako sa classroom at naghintay, pagtapak ko pa lang sa pintuan ay lumipad na agad ang tingin sa akin ng mga nauna roon. Nakatungo ako habang naglalakad papunta sa upuan sa may bintana.

So much for my invisibility...

Naiilang ako sa atensyon at titig na nakukuha ko, hindi naman ganito dati eh. Uupo lang ako sa isang tabi at walang may pakealam sa akin. I can do whatever I want, without people looking at me. I feel like everyone in this room is criticizing me, my clothes, my posture, my makeup. Everything! That's why I never liked the attention, because one wrong move and everyone will judge not knowing the reason behind nor knowing if the news is true.

I opened my account in our Uni's website, dun sa website na 'yon nakalagay lahat ng news and announcement for the whole university. There's also a student's blog in this website kung saan naglalagay ng random things ang students, anything can be written pero dapat nasa guidelines. May isang unapproved org sa school na laging naglalagay nang latest news about the students like, who's dating who, which new car is at the parking lot, and everything. Well they are very 'credible' news source according to some but I don't agree, I think they are very nosy and rude.

When the site opened I immediately saw the news about Chris and I, may title pa na, "The Third Party?", there are photos of me tugging Chris away from the crowd and the other photo is when he was holding me while laughing, we look like we're having so much fun. I scrolled down and read the article, may nakakita pala sa amin sa fast food chain kahapon, other than that the other contents are pure conspiracies. Some users are defending me, but most of them are saying that I might have been the third party of their break up. Gosh! They're so gullible! How can they believe this article?

I was beyond shocked with what I read, maybe that's why the students are looking at me with disgust and hatred, It's because of this article. I looked at some comments and reactions, some are saying that we are compatible but most people are angry with me, I can't blame them, they are just readers and with our photos looking so much like we're a couple, there will surely be speculations.

Dumating na ang proctor and nag-distribute na ng exam. Even though I know the answers, I had a hard time answering because my mind is preoccupied. I had to read a paragraph thrice! My focus isn't really with me, that's why. After finishing my exam ay lumabas na ako ng room. May tatapusin pa akong papers and I need to buy food dahil nagugutom na ako.
