[ BulSU SERIES #1 ]
They say you can always fall in love with anyone-that love knows no bounds. But what if Alina Tracey Panganiban falls in love with a friend? There's no warning or sign. Not anything. It was as if a tsunami wave was sweeping over...

If it's not because of Crest, I am not here on the Pick-A-Partner Booth of the CSSP Department, mainly from Psychology wherein the participants will try to find their "love interest" in the sea of participants. Parang Bumble Face-to-Face version pa yata itong napasok ko.
Kanina kasi, before we entered the room, may kinailangan kaming sagutan na set of questions. Basic questions lang naman iyon kaya hindi na ako nag-inarteng sagutan iyon. Then, we waited for like 15 minutes before the ushers gave us a set of resume-like papers. Nandoon lahat ng mga participants na p'wede naming piliin. Though in my situation, up until now, wala pa rin akong napipili.
I stomped my feet, observing the people in the room. Marami nang tao ang nakaupo sa main section kung saan may mga napili na sila. 'Yong iba nga ay busy na makipag-kuwentuhan sa mga naka-match nila pero ako, hanggang ngayon ay wala pa ring nagugustuhan.
My lungs exhaled a large amount of air. Dumeretso ako sa Usher table para mag-back out. I already spent my 1 hour and 30 minutes sa loob pero wala namang nangyayari. Might as well back-out, right?
"Hina mo talagang babae ka!"
I crossed my arms, "Hindi ko bet mga participants, teh!"
"Hoy, hindi, gaga!" Crest hit my arm, "May hottie roon, ah! Si Harry Montanella. Sobrang talino no'n, please. Dapat pinatos mo na!"
Kumunot ang noo ko, inaalala kung may nabasa ba akong ganoong pangalan sa mga resume na tiningnan ko kanina. Putting my fingers on my chin, I replied. "I think hindi ko nabasa ang resume niya roon. Baka naka-reserve na?"
Natawa kami parehas. We both decided to meet up with the circle: Kino, Wind, Justin, Vann, Axis, and Tine at the Heroes' Park. Although Vann, Axis, and Tine weren't in our main circle, I can say naman na we were all close. Those three are much more in connection with Wind and Justin dahil nga sila ang mga heads ng org namin sa Biology Department.
"Ang tagal niyo!" Wind pouted, slightly hitting my upper arm. "Ang init init kaya rito!"
"Teh, manahimik ka! Pinapayungan ka ni Justin, oh?!" Tine fired back with her matching it with her raising eyebrow.
"Ginagan'yan mo talaga ako, Tine Dovena, ha!"
"Oh, ano, ano, ano?!" She made her chest out, triggering Wind to slap her. Pare-parehas kaming natawa hanggang sa awatin na ni Axis ang dalawa.
"Oh, stop na, guys. Saan na ba ang deretso natin nito?"
"Canteen na lang siguro, p're." Kino answered Axis.
Kumapit sa akin si Crest, binulungan ako ng bahagya. "Is Ady okay?"
"Bakit, what happened? Where is he nga pala?" Awtomatiko naman na umikot ang paningin ko hanggang sa makita ang nakaupong tahimik na si Ady. Malalalim ang pinapakawalan niyang hininga habang nakatingin sa cellphone. Ilang beses din siyang nag-type ng kung ano roon pero mukhang sa huli ay hindi niya itinutuloy dahil pinapatay niya ang phone at napapapikit ng mariin. It was as if he's having a hard time.
