"Hey! Amore! Wait up, wait!" I heard a voice coming from behind me. I turned around and saw a familiar girl run towards me.

Kumunot ang nuo ko at saka hinayaan siyang lumapit sa akin habang hawak-hawak ang folders na pinapadala sa akin ng prof ko sa economics.

She asked me to go to OAS to submit these documents. Emergency daw and I wanted so badly to say no since it's such a hassle to walk to Henry Sy Library but I didn't have a choice.

"Okay, wait" She was panting when she reached me. Tinungkod niya ang palad sa binti niya habang hinahabol ang hininga kaya napangiwi ako.

"Are you just going to stand there?" I asked impatiently.

Tinaas niya ang palad sa harap ko bago niya pinasadahan ang buhok. "Okay" She muttered before looking at me.

"I'm Ezerina Del Mundo. My org's holding a fashion show next week and we ran out of models...I'm asking if you're g ba? You'll walk three times and then after that it's done!" I raised my brows at her offer.

She's a Del Mundo huh? I'm guessing she's related to Kiel?

"I'll think about it" She gave me an apologetic smile, she probably thinks she's bothering me. She kind of is but not gonna lie, I'm interested.

"Sorry for disturbing you. But we really need someone like you, you have the height, the face and the body. I hope you consider it. Bye! Thanks, ingat!" At saka na siya nagpaalam sa akin bago tumakbo sa kung saan.

Umiling lang ako at naglakad na papunta sa library.

Modeling huh? I haven't really thought about it but I've done some brand photoshoots when I was still in Tarlac. I wonder if I'll like walking on a runway?

Pinindot ko na ang floor nang makapasok ako ng elevator at hinintay 'yon tumunog bago ako lumabas. I placed my hair at my back so I wouldn't be in the way before I walked to the OAS.

Nang makapunta ako doon, nagulat ako nang makita si Ali na nakasandal at mukhang naghihintay rin kaya napakunot ang nuo ko.

I suddenly wanted to back out. The last time I saw him was three days ago? It's wednesday today.

I coughed so he would know that I'm here. Surely he did, he turned his head when he heard my cough. Like me, he was also holding some documents.

Iniwas ko ang tingin ko at tuloy-tuloy na naglakad papuntang OAS nang bigla niyang higitin ang kamay ko. Kumunot ang nuo ko doon at saka tinignan ang kamay niyang asa pulsunan ko.

What the fuck is he doing?

"Hindi ka papapasukin, maghintay daw muna dito. May inaasikaso sa loob" I was suddenly enraged. He sounded so calm and casual! Hindi man lang nahiya sa akin pagkatapos akong pagsalitaan ng gano'n?

"Let me go" Inis na sabi ko bago ko binawi ang kamay ko. Umigting ang panga niya dahil doon at napaiwas ng tingin.

I didn't listen to him and I entered the office. And he was right, kaagad akong kinausap ng assistant pagpasok ko.

"Sorry hija may inasikaso kasi-"

"But Prof Valdez just wanted to submit these-"

"Mamaya na, hintayin niyo nalang" At saka siya pumasok sa loob ng office.

I was left dumbfounded outside. Nakakainis! Bakit tama siya? This is so infair!

Busangot akong lumabas ng office, nang magtama ang mata namin, nakangisi na siya parang nanalo siya ng lotto.

I rolled my eyes at him, sumandal ako sa gilid niya at saka bumuntong hininga. What a hassle! Sana talaga sinabi ko nalang kay Prof Valdez na may emergency ako.
