State of Grace

Chapter 3

The birds are chirping outside, so loud and vibrant with the early morning sun. Hindi kagaya ng kasama ko na ang lakas humilik. I'm thankful that even If I stayed up late, maaga pa rin gising. Di kame pwedeng datnan ng mga naka room dito. I hear some noises from the hallway na, may konti nang tao doon. "Jay" Kinalabit ko ang balikat nya. 

Humikab sya ng mahina "Five minutes" "Someones watching" That he immediately gets up to. When he saw that there's no one there, he looked at me, eyes narrowing. I giggled then smiled. Ayaw mo tumayo ah.

It went away fast though as he noticed my jacket covering his front body. "Thanks" He said as he looked me in the eye. His face and body reeks of morning vagueness. I put out my h

I rushed down the halls and to the bicycle that was still sitting out beside the gate. I jumped on it and I saw him behind me. "Ride?" He fixed his messy hair with his right hand then jumped in the back.

"Where to?" The breeze was so cool because of the midnight rain. It hit my face and made my hair sway to the side. "Anywhere" "I know an easy route for the bus, take that" "Okay'' I almost didn't hear that because of the noise of the cars. It was six in the morning and my first class was at eight.

To do:
Dance Club Agenda
IC Auditions

I need to finish this today, the quarter break is near and I want to get as much rest as I can. School today ended fast because its completion week and last week pako tapos. I just need to finalize the compiled folders para sa statistics then I'm done with all my requirements. I feel weird. For some reason, I don't feel bored today. My body feels light. 

I felt my phone vibrated in my pocket.

Thanks. Sorry for the trouble.

JayIsh? Why is he dm-ing me on IG? I gave him my number but I didn't expect that he would stalk me.

Ako naman tuloy na like zone, ang cold naman neto. Basta hapon lagi nalang naka singkit ang mata. I imagine his suspicious glare again. Hindi ko nalang tuloy sya ni reply-an.

"Deadlines finished!" A lot of people were celebrating in my room. Konti lang kami dahil yung iba ay nasa quarter break na nila. "Salamat, last na time na makikita kotong kwarto nato" Sabi ni Jericho na katabi ko. "Tyaka yung isa dyan" Dagdag nya pa. "Same"

"Tan" Napatingin kami kay Chi, lakwatsera sa labas ng room. "Pinapatawag ka daw sa office" Kumunot noo ko, dahil kumpleto naman lahat ang mga last requirement ko, I arrived earlier than I should've so that I could organize the file correctly and make sure there aren't any mistake. If I have a pending task, that's only for my club. I re-checked my schedule to make sure I don't have any. And the statistics reports were scribbled down already. "Coming"

The office was quite narrow, daming papers and files na naka patong patong. It was a dark brown room that smelled of wood. There's only one window and that's from behind the main desk making it a little hot because there's proper ventilation. 

"Good Morning Miss" I knocked on the door before I entered. Miss Clarita, the head office supervisor since I transferred here. "Sir Tan. Good Morning. Please have a seat" I cleared out papers that were probably swayed away to the chair before I can sit. "Is there a problem po?" I said as I was lightly tapping my feet on the floor and putting my hands on top of my thighs.

"I won't make it long. I received a report against you regarding a file in your academic subject, Statistics. In essence they were proclaiming that you didn't submit a specific file causing a student to almost lose all his requirements. "Abordo" She looked me in the eye and bit her lip. "Listen, I know you are mad and all but you shouldn't be holding grudge, you're already graduating students and this can affect that matter"
