The following morning, I awoke to the deafening sound of the alarm.
"Ugh. Too loud," mahinang daing ko at tinakpan ang aking mga tainga, but it's useless. The alarm is too loud!
Kahit labag sa loob ay tumayo na ako mula sa aking higaan. I yawned, stretching my arms. Tumingin ako sa wallclock --- it's 6:00 AM. It's freakin' 6:00 AM! I can't believe this!
I roamed my eyes around the room. Faith is not here. Hindi ba siya natulog dito? I bet she doesn't want to see me. Understandable.
"Argh. Seriously? Why do the---" Lady's eyes widened when she saw me, making me confused. I wonder what's the problem. "AHHHHH!" Umalingawngaw ang sigaw niya sa buong kwarto, kaya naman napatingin din sa akin ang iba.
"What's wron--- AHHHH!"
"Oh, my! Mira, what happened to you?" tanong sa akin ni Lia.
"Mira, you're that white lady in the forest!" sigaw ni Christine. "You almost gave me a heart attack last night!"
An awkward laugh escaped my lips. Right. Dahil nga pala sa sobrang pagod ko kagabi, hindi na ako nakapagbihis at nakapaghilamos. I'm still wearing the creepy white dress and there's still ketchup on my face. Ugh, disgusting!
Lumapit na ako sa aking mga gamit para kumuha ng towel, toiletries, at mga damit na pwedeng suotin.
"I'm sorry for scaring you early in the morning, guys. Excuse me," I said to them before hurriedly running out of the room. I need to go to the bathroom and take a bath. I don't care how cold it is.
I'm using my towel to cover my face as I walk. I don't want the other students to see me like this.
"Excuse me. Excuse me."
Ang daming estudyanteng nakaharang sa corridor. Kailangan ko pang ipagsiksikan ang sarili ko para makadaan. I hope no one notices me.
"Yo, isn't that the white lady last night?" dinig kong bulong ng isang lalaki sa kaibigan niya.
"Bro, you're right. That's her!"
"Let's get revenge on her!"
Sh*t.
Dali-dali na akong tumakbo. Wala na akong pakialam sa mga nasasagi ko. I need to get to the freakin' bathroom right now!
"AHHH!" sigaw ko nang may bigla akong makabanggaan. Dahil sa lakas ng impact ng banggaan namin, natumba siya sa sahig. I fell with him --- well, I landed on top of him.
What's with me falling on top of people these days? Is this some kind of curse? Napabuntong hininga ako.
