Hapon na ngayon at isa lang ang ibig sabihin nito. Uwian na.
Medyo maulan ngayon kaya naman ay may nakahanda na ang aking payong sa kaliwa kong kamay.
"Aira Holdsworth, the second!" Inis akong napalingon sa aking likuran ng may tumawag sa aking pangalan.
Palabas na sana ako sa main gate ngunit tinawag ako ni...
"Ano na naman Matt Graeme, the first?" I sarcastically said.
Hingal na hingal itong huminto sa aking harapan dahil kagagaling pa nito sa pagtakbo.
"You left me," Seryoso nitong saad sa akin.
"If I didn't leave you, I would be late," I replied.
Umiwas ito ng tingin sa akin habang tumatango tango.
"I didn't hear the bell's ring, sorry," He's sincere. I can feel it.
"It's fine. Ano ba ang ginagawa mo rito?" I asked him. Basta basta lang kasing tatawagin ako sa full name.
"Do you have your notebook right now?" He asked.
Oh! That notebook! Muntik ko ng makalimutan ang tungkol doon.
"Yes nasa bag ko, why?"
"Let's go to the café first, I'll treat you and after that let me see that notebook."
"Okay."
"Saan mo gustong pumunta na café?" He asked me.
"There's a near café dito na nagseserve ng masarap na kape. We can go there," I suggested.
"Okay it's all set."
Hindi naman ako nagdalawang isip na sumunod sa kaniya nang mag-una itong naglakad. We can just walk to go to the café kasi sobrang lapit lang naman nito mula rito sa paaralan.
When we arrived, may iilan akong nakasalubong at nakitang mga estudyanteng naka-suot ng pareho kong uniporme. Nagbabasa sila ng mga libro at ang iba ay may ginagawa about sa school, I think they chose to study here because maybe it has a free wifi and also sobrang tahimik din ng paligid.
Matt chose our sit, and he is also the one who chose our drinks. Hindi ako parating nagkakape at tanging expresso de americano lamang yung alam ko sa kape. Kaya naman ay nagpasyahan kong siya nalang yung pipili sa aking drinks.
"Where is your notebook?" As he sat down in the chair.
"Atat na atat ka yata sa notebook ko," I tried to make it sound funny but I failed.
I don't know how to joke.
"Hahaha ang funny mo," He sarcastically said.
I can't help it but to rolled my eyes. I don't want to be called 'mataray', but hey, he is using me a sarcastic tone.
I opened my bag and search for that 'deathnote' but I can't see it anymore.
Nandito ba iyon? Sa huli kong pagtatanda ay nasa mesa ko iyon bago ako pumasok sa paaralan. But I also remember na naipasok ko iyon sa bag ko.
I tried to search, search and search. But I failed.
"I can't find it," I said.
"Are you sure? Baka nandiyan lang iyon."
Hindi ako nagsisinungaling.
I want to tell it to him but I didn't. Sinubukan ko ulit kaykayin ang bag ko para makita lang yung notebook.
Ngunit gaya ng resulta kanina ay wala pa rin.
I shook my head as I turned to him. "None."
Nakita ko ang pagbuntong hininga niya. Inilapag niya ang kaniyang kape sa mesa saka ako tiningnan ng maayos.
