*someone yawn

... : "this is boring, bakit ang dami kong activity?".

... : "argghhh!!, I'll give up hihiga muna ako".*lay down at the bed.

... : *take breath in and out

I'm Lucas, I am fourth year at my college life. Being college student is too tough, there are giving me so much activity. Let's including my night shift job, i have job at convenience store as clerk there every night.

Lucas: *sigh "i need to finish this activity meron pa akong pasok sa store".

tinapos ko na agad yung school activity ko para makapagready na ako sa store.

-5:00 pm-

I got in convenience store, as usual i'm at the station patching the customer .

Lucas: *sigh  "this is boring".

Drew: "how's that happen? kakaumpisa mo lng magtrabaho" *he started laughing

He's Drew, one of i'm with at the convenience store all the time, he is 2nd year college student and younger than me and good at his job which is stocking at the shelf.

Manager Lynn: "you should work properly Lucas, you just started and take away your gloomy aura its bad for the store".

 And this is Manager Lynn, she is our manager at the store I work, our age is same and she a grumpy  person but still she best doing her job, That's why she became the manager to our store. 

Even we're same age, she finish school life before me. but if only I didn't stop at elementary life I also finish at college life and not working at convenience store at this year. 

It's all start when I got an accident when I was young, I didn't remember what happen but my parent told me. I was hit my a car and lost all of my memory after that.

Lucas: "Yes, Ma'am". 

Manager Lynn: "OK. I'm done at checking the store, I'll this now to both of you make sure you both run this sound and safe". *she walk away

Lucas: "ah, this is gonna be another rough day for me". *start stretching arms

Drew: "Hey men, do you think na si Manager Lynn ay may pagtingin sayo?". *whisper at Lucas ear

Lucas: "Ha? ano pinagsasabi mo dyan? asa naman meron saking pagtingin si Manager Lynn, tignan mo kaya napakasungit kaya ng taong yun".

Drew: "it's just my hunch na may pagtingin siya sayo. Tignan mo puro pangalan mo binabanggit niya everytime na nagtra-trabaho tayo at walang araw na di niya tinawag pangalan mo."

Lucas: "At because of that iniisip mo na may pagtingin siya sakin? She always call me because of how gloomy person I am and that's all". *turn back at him

*stocking items at the shelf "and someday tatawagin ka rin niya kapag may nagawa kang mali sa store".

Drew: "Malabo yan, sa galing kong to asa naman tawagin niya ako". *He smirked and back doing his job

Drew was right, di ko rin alam bakit ako lagi napapansin ni Manager Lynn. *sigh hayaan ko nalang yun.

Habang ang oras ay umaandar magdamag ako nakatayo sa cashier all night, feeling so sleepy and tried. as Drew he mopping the floor, we only have few customer that why i can't just relax.

as the time pass, my shift end.

(5:00 am in the morning)

Lucas: *stretching arms up "i'm so tired". *stretch neck next

*Locker door closed

Drew: "Same bro". *yawn while walking away from changing room

  I pack all my things and walk out at changing room.

*walking straight to the exit

Lucas: "Finally it's end, since it Saturday i can finally rest at home".

while i'm existing to the store someone surprise me. 

Manager Lynn & I gasp together when we almost bump each other at the entrance 

Lucas: "Good morning Manager Lynn". *step aside 

Manager Lynn: "Good morning". *walk straight into her office 

I walked outside of the store and straight to my apartment. when i got home, i straight to my bed and look at the ceiling thinking about what happen earlier.

Lucas: "did Manager Lynn just blush when she saw me?" asking myself "hmm??, i guess she just surprised cause we almost bump each other. forget it i'm just gonna rest now". 

*close eye
