Promises are Meant to be Broken

Chapter 02

"Good morning, Alana Brielle," bati niya ang bumungad sa akin nang buksan ko ang pinto.

I ignored him and closed the door first before walking to the hallway. Today was the orientation. I'm nervous and silently praying that the guy in my back is not going to be my classmate or something.

Apat na taon na kaming nagkasama, sapat na 'yon.

"Did you already eat your breakfast?" He asked when we both ride the elevator. "I was about to knocked on your unit earlier, but I don't want you to be grumpy. Sabay po tayong kakain mamaya, ah?" Nakangiti niyang sabi pa.

I shut my eyes and took a deep breathe before facing him. I need to control myself, ayaw kong mapikon.

"I'll agree if... hindi kita magiging kaklase," ngumisi ako at itinaas-baba pa ang kaliwa kong kilay, nang-aasar.

Nakita ko kung paano nadismaya ang mukha niya. Is he even confident na magkaklase talaga kami? Wow. As in wow.

Nauna akong naglakad papalabas ng elevator. My father even brings my car here. Ang lapit-lapit na nga ng university, dinala pa niya rito.

Nang makasakay sa sasakyan, napansin kong parang may inaayos siya roon sa kaniyang motorbike. He even scratching his nape. May problema ba siya?

"Do you need help?" I asked after I go out of my car. Kunot-noo kong pinagmasdan ang sasakyan niya. "What seems to be the problem?"

He heaved a sigh. "Flat," he explained.

"Ah, okay..." hindi ako umalis sa pwesto ko. Hindi ko kasi alam kung tama bang ayain ko siyang sumabay sa akin. Magkaibigan naman kami.

"I'm fine. Go now, baka ma-late ka po." He said before leaving his bike.

Bahala na nga.

"Let's go to the university together," he instantly stops walking. Mabilis niya akong nilingon at napa-iling na lang ako nang makitang nakangisi na naman siya nang malawak. "Never mind." Pumasok na ako sa loob ng sasakyan.

I started the engine and almost freak out when the door opened on the shot gun seat. Mabilis siyang sumakay sa loob at nakangiti pang umayos ng upo. "Let's go!" Excited niyang sabi.

I just shook my head and started to drive my car. My forehead creased every time I glances at him. His smile didn't vanish on his face. Anong nagawa ko at ang saya niya?

"You saved my day. Mahal din po ang gas kaya dapat palagi mo po akong isasakay dito, my driver." I glared at him after he say those words. "Peace, Alana Brielle." He fakes a smile.

I can't handle his behavior! I need Mama!

Nakasunod parin siya sa akin habang papasok ng campus. There were so many students here right now. I feel like I just started my college life again. This is awesome!

"Super awesome," he murmured.

But not being with him.

I just let my feet roam around the campus. Sumunod lang ako sa daloy ng mga estudyante rito hanggang sa malaman ko kung saan na ako pupunta.

After getting my form, I scan my schedule. It's not that hectic. When I decided to go to my designated room, I noticed that he's not following me anymore. I smirk and continue walking freely. That means, he's not my classmate!

"Too slow, Alana Brielle,"

The smile on my face slowly fading when I saw him standing in front of my room. What's the meaning of this? Bakit nandito siya?

"What are you doing here?" I curiously asked, creasing my forehead.

"I just did the same thing that you do," he said having a playful smirk on his face. "You're just too slow to get here. But it's okay. Nandito ka naman na po."
