Eyes for You

Prologue

“nakunan mo yung diniscuss kanina ni ma'am?"

I looked at my seatmate. He's currently looking at someone while he's hand is in desk and asking me something about the discussion earlier. Tinignan niya ako kaya tumango nalang  ako at tinignan ulit ang nasa harapan ko.

Walang teacher na pumasok sa subject namin ngayun kaya ang iba kong kaklase ay pumunta nang canteen or wherever it is. While yung iba naman ay tinamad na bumili. Well who wouldn't? Nasa Third floor kami tapos ang canteen ay nasa ibang building pa? Sinong hindi mapapagod niyan.

I looked again at my seatmate when he spoke.

“ Pwedeng pasahan moko nun?"

“Hindi. Joke just kidding open mo yung share-it mo"

He nooded. Habang ako ay hinanap na ang mga nakunan kong lesson kanina.
It's all about wika. Filipino is our subject kanina. I open that what is needed and then tap his avatar account. Pagkatapos mapasa ay binalik ko sa bag ang cellphone.

He mouthed the word thanks at tumango lang ako sa kanya.

I looked again at one of my classmate. Now in so much chaos. They are playing a game that there are four stick man fighting. Until the three of them died and the one who's alive is the winner.

And now it switch with this four not really stick man because tumaba na. They are catching the chicken who's running nostop away from them. Too scared to be arrested.

Nawala ang aking paningin sa nilalaro nila at napunta sa papasok na adviser namin.

She has this confused look when she step in our room. She looked around while walking then finally say.

“Hindi parin kayo pinasukan ni ma'am Curativo?"

Umawang ang bibig ko sa narinig. Sometimes i really hate my mind for being green. I looked at my classmate who is laughing while pointing her finger at me. I think she read what's in my head. Napangiti nalang at napailing .

I just heard that some of my classmate respond to what our adviser is asking.

Nakatunganga lang ako hanggang umabot ang tanghalian. I decided to have a lunch outside.

Inayos ko ang bag pagkatapos ay tumayo na. Naglakad na ako palabas sa room namin nang bigla nalang nag vibrate yung phone ko. Kinuha ko sa bulsa ko at tinignan kung sino ang nag text.

From: Cara
Nasa gate na ako hindi na ako umakyat sa taas, dito nalang kita hintayin sa gate. Take your time pero bilisan mo ah.

Napailing nalang ako sa nabasa ko. Take my time daw tapos pinapadali niya ako baliw ba tong babaeng to? Hindi ko nalang siya nereplyan at nagpatuloy nalang sa paglalakad.

Napatingin ako sa gilid ko. May magjowang kulang nalang ay maghalikan sila sa paglalakad. Seriously?

I dont understand.

Ika nga nung sa TikTok na how can y'all date in highschool like dating someone who can't do basic math, can't write essays, don't know basic geography, spread fake news, don't know how to fast check, has a toxic behavior, immature, will disrespect teacher because they feel like it, too aggressive, gets mad when they're corrected and disrespect you.

Hindi ko napansin na nasa gate na pala ako kung hindi lang ako kinalabit ni cara. Ang mukha niya na nakabusangot ang bumungad sa akin.

“Ang tagal mo kanina pa ako naghihintay dito!"

Sabi niya na may patadyak-tadyak pa sa kanyang paa.
