Lovely and Solitary (BxB)

CHAPTER 2

Vance's POV

I'm currently at the front gate of our college. It's my first day and yet I can't still get rid of that mannerism. Hindi pa rin ako makapagsulat. Ano nang gagawin ko sa mga subjects na itetake ko nito.

I took a deep sigh to relieve myself from overthinking. There's no point in being anxious right now. I'll go with the flow.

Kasama ang lakas ng loob ko ay dahan dahan akong naglakad papasok ng gate ng school ko. Pagkapasok mo ay bubungad agad sayo yung sementadong open space. Sa gilid nito ay may mga puno na malalaki. Sa bawat sides ay may mga buildings na may apat na palapag, may mga blue architectural designs din sila na nagcocompliment sa white paint sa mga walls nito.

As I walk the cemented path, I look at my schedule and tried to find my room. Luckily nasa second floor lang yung first subject ko kaya hindi ako mapapagod kakaakyat.

Bago ko buksan yung pintuan ay inayos ko muna ang sarili ko at glasses. I gently open the door at bumungad sakin ang ingay na namiss ko. Produkto rin kasi ako ng online class at namiss ko yung ambiance ng face to face set up.

Naghanap ako ng seat ko at napatabi ako sa isang guy na nakaearplugs. The moment that I had my bag on my seat, he suddenly look at me. Ngumiti siya at tinanggal ang earplugs niya.

"Hi! I'm Jeon, nice to meet you!" masaya niyang pagpapakilala sakin.

He seemed like a warm person to befriend with.

"Vance...," banggit ko sa pangalan ako.

"Vance! Oh, I see! Looks like seatmate tayo sa subject na to. Don't worry di ako nangangagat. Hahahaha," ika niya.

"And...Hmm...," after he said this, he took a snip at me which made me shocked.

"Don't worry, I'm just checking something." ika niya sabay wink. "I know we're gonna get really close, as in really close." dugtong niya ulit.

I'm in awe at how this person interacts. College is full of surprises talaga. I return him a pleasant smile to let him know that I want to be friends with him.

Umupo na ako sa seat ko at inintay namin yung magiging adviser namin.

Habang naghihintay ay naisipan kong ilabas yung book ko. Sometimes, it's good to reminisce about things, especially the inspiration I have when I'm writing this story. Maybe, just maybe, my romance author self would wake up from his deep slumber.

"Wait! Don't tell me!" sigaw sakin ni Jeon.

Napatingin ako sakanya at binigyan ko siya ng confused look.

"Bakit?" tanong ko sakanya.

"Bakit ka may book na ganyan? Omg, I'm a huge fan of that author!" excited niyang sabi.

Huge fan? My huge fan?

"Let me see dali," request niya kaya binigay ko rin sakanya.

"Omg, I have a book like this sa bahay and -" naputol ang kanyang sasabihin nang mabuklat niya ang first page ng book.

"Where did you get this book? I can't believe it. Hawak ko ang "Ang Hindi Masabi" na may pirma ng author." manghang sabi niya.

"Pwede ko bang bilhin to?" tanong niya sakin.

"Hehe?" maikli kong tawa.

Umayos ng upo ni Jeon at humarap sakin.

"You see, I'm a huge fan of this author. You know, Loventian. I relate to this story because I have been through that kind of state once. He rarely shows himself to book signing events. So parang ang tumal talaga na makakita ka ng signed version ng book na to. Kaya curious na curious ako kung saan ka nakakuha nito." pagpapaliwanag niya.
