Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

"Meron daw meeting mamaya."

Nakita ko ang pagsimangot ng dalawang babae na kaharap ko dahil sa narinig. Maging ako naman, never nagustuhan ang meetings. It feels like I'm going to die whenever I attend meetings, especially when the speakers deliver their speech plainly. I am not sure if they were aware of it.

"Meeting na naman. Mangongolekta na naman sila ng mga pondo-pondong wala namang ganap sa school," Kyla hissed.

"Mandatory ba 'yan?" Carleen also asked with a hint of annoyance.

"I don't know. I just read it from the GC. Hindi niyo ba nabasa?" I asked them.

"Minute ko na 'yang GC na 'yan. Ang ingay kapag madaling araw." Carleen leaned on her seat.

"Akin hindi. Nagleave ako." Kyla seems so proud of what she had done. "Char. Naka-ignore sa 'kin 'yon. Kung do'n nila ako nilapag sa BA-III, baka natuwa pa akong mag-seen."

I looked at Dillion who seemed unbothered with the meeting. He's just there, sitting next to me, playing with his food. He's even smiling like an idiot.

"There's a meeting." I tried repeating what I said. Mamaya, magtalang-talang pa siya kapag hindi niya alam ang nangyayari. He glances at me for a second before glancing back at his food.

"Yeah? Where? I'll go with you." I frowned before looking at his food. There's nothing wrong with there. Just apple and ham that he requested from me. That's how friendship works, he reasoned out. "If that's okay, of course." He chuckled, now starting to eat his meal.

"Okay lang 'yan, lagi ka namang sumasama sa 'min, ngayon ka pa ba mahihiya?" Kyla joked which made Dillion laugh.

After that, we attend the meeting. If not because of attendance, I will gladly ditch that meeting.

"Iba talaga ang power ng attendance, napapa-attend kahit ang pinakatamad na tao," I heard Kyla said after she signed on the attendance sheet.

Nakaka-umay 'yong buwan-buwan na meeting. They're just going to show us their 'plans' with the school. I still see no progress at all. Meron naman pala, sa cr. Kailan lang nila ginawa 'yong CR para sa LGBTQ+ members. Sa lahat ata ng projects nila, 'yon lang ang nagustuhan ko.

Nakahiwalay sa 'min sina Carleen at Kyla. Unluckily, the seats in front were occupied that's why Dillion and I had no choice but to stand at the back.

I roamed my eyes at the whole auditorium. It's big, not to mention, but it can't accommodate the whole department. Sana, sa gym na lang sila nagpa-meeting.

The whole room is filled with bored sighs, noisy gossip, and laughter. I was just crossing my arms, starting to get annoyed. They want us to assemble early yet they can't even go here early! Sayang sa oras, tangina.

"Are you okay? You look pissed." I glanced at Dillion who was standing next to me. Like me, he's crossing his arms while leaning on the wall, facing me.

"I'm just annoyed. They should be here. Such a waste of time." He chuckled but when I glared at him, he changed his reaction into an annoyed one too.

"Yeah. They should be here," he said, giving me side glances. I tsk-ed and ignored him. It feels like everything is annoying me. No, everything is annoying when he's around.

We're already friends but that doesn't change the fact that he's still obnoxious. Why does God give me annoying friends?

Mayamaya lang ay dumating na rin ang speaker. Nakakabanas hintayin. Akala mo naman talaga, importante ang sasabihin. Bullshits.

I lazily glanced at the TV screen where agendas are flashed. It's not that much but it'll consume decades if they're still not going to discuss already!
