How To Have You (Professors Series #1.)

Chapter 10

"Let's drink later,"

Bumalik rin kami sa faculty room. Wala akong klase hanggang two pm ng hapon, sila Sefanie ay ganon din yata kaya nandito pa rin sila hanggang ngayon.

"Anong meron at first time mo yatang nag-aya ng inuman, ah!" Nakakunot-noong tanong ni Sefanie nang humarap siya sa'kin, galing ang tingin sa phone niya. "Malapit ka na bang kuhanin ni Satanas dahil sa kasamaan ng ugali mo?"

Inirapan ko siya. "Sam's going back to the states. Nagparebook na siya ng ticket kanina."

I caught the attention of Brianna na nasa lapit ni Sefanie, humarap ito sa'kin pero hindi nag salita ng kahit ano. I saw that she was shock though.

"Didn't she tell you, Bri?" Tanong ko.

She hesitated. "No..."

Doon tumaas ang kilay ko, is everything okay between them? Anong nangyayari? Are they fighting? I have lots of questions in my mind.

"Ay, Sam's leaving na pala." Sabat ni Sefanie.

"Bakit ang bilis naman yata? Akala ko ba one month siya dito?" Muling humarap sa'kin si Brianna, she was unconsciously tapping her phone screen.

"Yeah I thought so too, but some company of her endorsements are looking for her para sa next project niya daw," I said. "She didn't wanna leave yet either pero wala siyang choice."

"Inuman mamaya? I'll go!" Tumango si Sefanie at mukhang tuwang-tuwa pa.

"Mukha ka na ngang alak," Umiling ako. "Ikaw, Bri? You coming later?"

"I guess." Muli niyang binalik ang tingin sa phone.

"Tell Celes and Bea about later 'kung makita niyo sila after class," I informed them, Sefanie nodded without even looking at me. "They need to know."

It was now one pm in the afternoon, nagpaalam ako kila Sefanie at sinabing lalabas ako para bumili ng inumin, I went to the cafeteria to get an apple juice pero naalala ko bigla si Cortez that's why I bought two of it para ma idaan ko 'yon sa gymnasium. I don't even know why I thought of her.

I arrived at the gym at nakita ko siyang nag t-training, they're having a small match pero ka team niya din ang kalaban niya. I went to the bleachers at umupo ako doon habang nanonood sa kanila. As I watched their game nakita ko ang pag lalaro ni Cortez, she was actually pretty good. Mukhang siya ang libero sakanila dahil sumusunod ang teammates niya sakanya o sa lahat ng pagtuturo niya.

Natapos ang game nila at sila Cortez ang nanalo, Miss Addison saw me kaya naman tinuro ako nito, agad rin namang lumiwanag ang mukha ni Cortez nang makita niya ako, diretso siyang naglakad patungo sa direksiyon ko matapos niyang mag paalam sa mga ka-teammates niya.

"Yes, ma'am? What are you doing here?" Lumapit siya sa'kin habang nag pupunas ng kanyang pawis.

"Nothing, napadaan lang ako." I said, tumango naman siya bago umupo sa tabi ko. "Here."

I placed the bottle container besides her, tumingin siya sa'kin bago niya pinaningkitan ng mata ang inumin kong ibinaba. She was surveying it.

"I want this one."

"That's mine! Nainuman ko na yan," Inagaw niya ang boteng hawak ko, I complained but she didn't mind at diretso siyang uminom sa doon, the lid touching her lips. "I said that's mine!"
