Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

"Hmm, ano ngang assignment natin?"

I looked at Kyla when she asked me again about our assignment. She's just asking me, she's not even doing it. I chuckled and handed her a tissue since sauce scatters on her face.

"Something in Lit. I don't remember," I said. She narrowed her eyes on me, probably thinking that I am lying to her. Well, I am done with mine so I forgot what was our assignment, so that was partly true. Hindi ko naman talaga ugaling tandaan ang mga tapos na. "Kung iniisip mo na nagsisinungaling ako, nagkakakamali ka. I really don't remember it."

"Sus! Patingin nga ng notebook mo!" I smirked. I know her too well. Kokopyahin niya lang naman ang nakasulat do'n. Even though we're best friends, I never tolerated her cheating issue so, as long as I can help her deal with her studies, I will do it. "Sige na nga! Tatanungin ko na lang kay Cressia. Malamang may gawa 'yon. 'Wag na lang kaya ako gumawa? Hindi naman major 'yang Lit-Lit na 'yan e."

"Hmm..." I nod at her, not minding her words. I busied myself with my notes. Nirere-read ko na lang 'yong discussions namin kahapon para naman may idea ako sa magiging topic namin. "Second year ka na, saka ka pa tinamad."

"Sinong hindi, 'di ba? Si Mommy naman kasi! Sabi na ngang Comm ang kukunin ko, pinilit pa ako sa punyetang Business Ad na 'to. Wala naman akong mapapala sa ganito e." She played her feet on the ground. "Magrerebelde talaga ako." I chuckled before focusing again on what I am reading.

Second semester. Well, second semester is harder than what I expected. Time management strategy is what students need the most. Madami ng pinapapagawang activities and mas hectic na ang schedule. Ang ibang department din ay nagrereklamo na tungkol sa schedules at dami ng pinapagawa.

But at least, we're still surviving. However, I don't just settle for survival. I have to be the best. I always wanted to be the best. I strive to get higher grades so that when the time comes, I won't have difficulties in applying for jobs.

"Minor lang ngayong hapon, 'no? Sana minor lang." She crossed her finger, wishing luck. Mahina lang akong tumawa.

"Why? You have plans on ditching class?" She looked at me and flashed a smirk.

Confirmed. She had plans in her head.

And like what she said, she didn't attend the afternoon class. Buti na lang at walang masyadong pinagawa ang mga professor kung hindi, wala na naman siyang grade. The teacher just gave us some activities and I doubt they will record it.

Naghihintay lang ako sa waiting shed ng pwedeng masakyan. Medyo late na kaya madalang na lang ang dumaraan dito. I guess, around 7:30?

Mabuti na lang at may dumaan na bago pa ako tuluyang mabagot. Sa jeep na lang ako sumakay kasi ito na lang ang available na sasakyan. Kakaunti lang ang pasahero, malamang ay galing lang 'to sa palengke.

Tumingin ako sa labas. Kakaunti na lang din ang bukas na tindahan pero maliwanag pa ang mga ilaw. The cold breeze of the night touches my skin and send shivers within me. Napayakap tuloy ako sa bag ko.

The peaceful night and the sound of vehicles that passes ours is relaxing. Nakakapagod sa school at ang tanging pahinga ko lang ay kapag nasa sasakyan ako.

"I'm home..."

I roamed my eyes around our house. I don't expect them in the sala so I am not shocked that no one welcomed me. They're probably upstairs, minding their businesses. Yeah, what am I expecting from my family?

Without having my dinner, I went upstairs. Hindi rin naman ako nagugutom kasi marami akong nakain kaninang tanghali. Buraot kasi si Kyla kaya pinabili ako nang pinabili.
