Where Do Broken Hearts Go?

"Akala ko ba rumors lang? E ano 'to?"

Habang nagpapalipas ng oras sa canteen, dumating si Kyla para i-accomplish ang everyday routine niya na mang-asar. She pointed us; Dillion and I, who's peacefully having our lunch. After that confession incident, he told me to be his boyfriend. Sinabi ko na pag-iisipan ko pero kinabukasan, pumayag din ako.

I mean, I see no point in taking it longer. He likes me so much, that's what he said. We both have feelings towards each other so, why not?

"Sus, bitter ka na naman, Kyla. Palibhasa, ginawa kang trial card ni bebeloves Liam mo. Sakit ba, 'te?" Carleen teased her.

"Tigilan mo 'ko, girl. Sungalngalin kita r'yan e. Gosh, bitter season."

They both took their seats in front of us. Naka-akbay lang si Dillion sa 'kin dahil tapos na rin naman siyang kumain. The two didn't mind us, thankfully.

"'Yong braso mo, mabigat." I tried to remove his arm around my neck but he tightened it more. "Dillion."

"Let me, okay? Kain ka lang." He patted my head. I sighed.

"Ugh! Sana sinaksak niyo na lang ako. Ayaw ko na talaga sa inyo." I chuckled after hearing what Kyla said. "Umalis kayo sa table na 'to. I need space."

"Kaartehan mo. Ayan, ikain mo na lang 'yang sama ng loob mo, Miss Trial Card." Carleen smirked.

Dillion is in his first week being an Engineering student. Nakikita ko ang saya sa mukha niya kapag nakikipagkita siya sa 'kin. Me? I'm still waiting for the result of my exam. I am confident with my answers but it somehow bothered me. Since my first year of college, I was one of those students on the Dean's List. Up until now, so I don't want to fail. Nobody wants to fail, anyway.

After that lunch, Dillion needed to attend his class. Hindi siya pwedeng ma-late dahil major subject ang first subject niya sa afternoon session. Kinailangan ko na ring bumalik agad sa room dahil hindi pa ako tapos sa research design. I thought, it would be easy for me to finish those but the professor's satisfaction is out of the universe.

"'Yong sa research design ba, puwedeng cartoons na lang?"

"Mamamatay ka ba kapag hindi ka nakapag-ingay, ha, Kyla?"

"Ikaw ang patayin ko d'yan e. Nagtatanong lang, grabehan sa attitude."

Napailing na lang ako nang magsimula na naman silang mag-asaran na dalawa. Their days really won't be complete without them, teasing each other. Hindi ko na lang sila pinagtuunan ng pansin at nag-focus sa ginagawa ko.

Nang maghapon na ay pinuntahan ko si Dillion para tingnan ang kalagayan niya. I saw how active he was in the class unlike when he's still on the Business Ad. Active rin naman siya noon pero iba ang energy na ibinibigay niya sa bago niyang environment.

I crossed my arms as I watched how he answered the equation on the board. A smile plastered on my lips when his classmates and teacher clapped their hands because Dillion got the answer correctly.

Iba talaga ang saya kapag gusto mo ang ginagawa mo.

Ilang minuto pa akong naghintay sa labas ng classroom nila hanggang sa mag-uwian na. Mabuti na lang at maaga kaming pinauwi ng instructor kaya napuntahan ko siya rito. I made my way through their classroom's door. His classmates greeted me so I greeted them back.

"Hmm, how was your day?" I asked him while we were on our way outside the campus.

"It's fine. Masaya naman ako sa bago kong course. And the environment is less toxic." He smiled at me. Naubusan na ako ng salita kaya tumango na lang ako. "How about you? You look like a potato."
