Song: Pero - Zack Tabudlo
Terrible
Agad kaming tumayo ni Jana nang matapos ang klase. She bitterly crossed her arms over her chest as we walk towards the exit.
"Sayang 'yung recitation points na 'yon. Sa akin na sana 'yon, e!" Reklamo niya.
I chuckled a bit. Kanina pa siya bitter dahil hindi sa kanya napunta 'yung recitation points dahil kulang ang sagot niya.
"At least you tried, Jana."
"Hmp!" She then stormed off outside our classroom.
Hindi ko mapigilan na matawa muli sa reaksyon niya. She was desperate for that recitation points because she felt like she will need it for her grades soon. Hindi pa naman matagal simula nang mag-umpisa ang semester pero iniisip niya na agad na babagsak siya.
Habang palabas ng classroom, naramdaman kong tumunog ang telepono ko kaya napatigil ako upang kunin 'yon sa loob ng aking bag. I immediately checked who left a message.
Primo:
Kumusta? Nakita ko nga pala kahapon si Catalina sa labas ng school nila. Mukhang may mga bago na siyang kaibigan.
I stared at his message for a moment. Hindi ko alam kung ano ang mas pagtutuunan ko ng pansin. Ang pangangamusta niya o ang mabilis na pag-a-adjust ni Catalina.
It's been weeks since I left Isla de Buenaventura. Ever since I gave him my number, he's been checking up on me constantly. I've been aware that he's going to do that but I did not expect that he's really going to do it every day!
Minsan hindi na ako nakakapag-reply dahil masyado akong abala sa iba't ibang bagay. I thought he was going to stop there, but he didn't! He kept on telling me so many random things that I don't even know how to respond to them sometimes.
Kahit pala hanggang sa text, madaldal siya.
If it were other people, I would immediately feel irritated. But with him...I suddenly felt appreciative. I don't know it's confusing.
I hate that he's been constantly bombing my inbox with many messages but at the same time...I like it. He constantly checks up on me, unlike my parents who only ask me whenever they want to.
I also like that he decides to share all these random things with me even if I don't reply to him.
Also...Catalina has new friends? I'm glad to know that she's doing well. She doesn't message often so I don't know what's happening to her. It's good to know that she's making new friends. I know she hated what happened but at least she's trying to adjust and make her stay worthwhile.
I also heard Adela is doing well in school. As expected from her. Siya ang madalas na kumo-contact sa akin kaya kahit papano alam ko pa ang nangyayari sa kanya.
