I Don't Want To Go Back

38 (PART 2)

38 (PART 2)

I can't talk about Kylo's life in law school. I just couldn't study law for this book, mas'yadong masakit sa ulo at saka 'di kaya ng time ko huehue. And also, I don't have someone to interview, someone who knows law that much. And I just can't rely on webs. So to be safe not to make mistakes about laws, law terms, & such, let's not talk much about it, it won't maybe affect the story line. :)

"Ilan kayo sa recit kanina?" Tanong ni Vynn habang kumakain kami sa canteen.

"Ay next question." Sagot ni Gio.

"Wala ka na talagang sinabing matino."

"Bakit, ikaw ka ba?"

"Isa." Tatawa-tawang sagot ni Vynna sa tanong ni Gio.

I chewed slowly, awtomatiko kaming nagkatinginan ni Fin at tumingin sa dalawa. Agad silang tumigil sa pagtawa at umubo pa.

"Joke kaya 'yon." Bulong pa ni Vynn.

We had a graded recit earlier. This professor always shows our grade after we answer his questions. Kaya nagkakatanungan kung anong grade namin do'n kasi sa mismong nakasagot lang ipinapakita 'yung grado. Ikaw na bahala kung sasabihin mo sa iba o you'll keep it to yourself.

Okay naman ang grade ko ro'n kanina. Pinagaralan ko 'yung kaso eh. Mataas naman. Dapat lang.

"Sama ba kayo?" Tanong ni Gio.

"Saan na naman, Gio?" Si Vynn. Sila lang naman parati ang magkausap, parehas silang maingay.

"Grabe naman, ikaw lang ba kausap ko? Nagsasawa na 'ko sa 'yo, Vynn. Ikaw lang yata tropa ko rito eh." Nauurat na ani Gio.

I chuckled, "Saan ba 'yan, Gio?"

"Finally, new voice!" he sighed in relief. "Sa Pop up! Party-party tayo."

"You know we couldn't." Si Fin, habang hawak ang mga papel niya. Also wearing his specs and holding a blue highlighter on his other hand.

"Yes. Malapit na board." Sabat ko.

"Minsan lang! 'Tsaka, tamang-tama, bago mag board."

"Ayoko." Sabay na sagot namin ni Fin.

"Grabe naman!" lugmok ni Gio.

Gustuhin ko man pero we're literally in Law school, what will I do? Law school was like life and dead choice. It's either you have fun and die, or study hard and graduate. You have all the rights to choose.

Wala akong time para pumarty pero may time ako para kay Sy. I know.

Hindi na niya naiwan ang wallet niya, pero nakalimutan niyang wala na siyang cash do'n. Hindi natanggap ng cards ang coffee shop na palagi niya- oh, should I say... palagi naming pinupuntahan. Nagkataon na wala rin akong magawa after my class kaya ro'n ako dumiretsyo, and she was there, walang cash pero naka order na. So I paid for it.

She was asking if that includes another date.

Sure.

"Nah.. you can forget about it, if you don't want a date."

"I have some time for a date though."

Heaven knows how much that answer of her affects my whole system. But I keep my cool.

"Set the date, then. Message me the details."

May crush daw sa 'kin 'yung barista sa counter. Tinanong niya pa 'ko kung umamin na raw ba. Ni hindi ko nga kilala 'yon. 'Tsaka, oo, totoo namang maganda 'yung barista pero hindi ko type. She's also a bit weird, kasi alam niya pangalan ko. Sa'n niya nakuha? Hinulaan niya ba? O narinig niya kay Sy? O ano?
