It's hard to get used to change. Especially towards a person you have grown to see, to be with almost on a daily basis. A few weeks had passed since the incident with Dwayne's mother, and it has been a tough one for Akira to adjust to the sudden change. Lalo na't araw-araw niya pa'rin nakikita si Dwayne sa University, at araw-araw niya din itong iniiswasan.
Akira is supposed to be reviewing for her finals exam coming up. The final exam they are going to take before the semester ends. After that, bakasyon na ang 2nd year na sila.
Instead of focusing, Akira always end up getting distracted. Dwayne kept on interrupting her thoughts.
Padabog niyang binitawan ang lapis at napahawak sa kaniyang ulo. Bahagyang hinilot niya ang kaniyang sentido bago huminga ng malalim.
She playfully spins the swivel chair she's sitting on, at napatigil ito ng naka harap sa kama. She stared blankly at the plush penguin sitting on her bed. Bigay ito ni Dwayne sa kaniya.
Just looking at it made her remember all the fun times he had with Dwayne, even before the incident happened. It frustrates her to think that.
What frustrates her even more is the fact that she should be reviewing but always ends up being distracted for the most non-sense of reason.
Pinulot niya ang naka-bolang papel sa lamesa at saka binato sa penguin plushie na nasa kama. "What a petty excuse to be distracted,"
Even during school days, halos mag dasal si Akira na sa tuwing maglalakad siya around the campus ay huwag niyang masalubong si Dwayne. Para bang she's back to being her old self. That cold girl na walang ibang pakialam kung hindi ang pagaaral .
Believe it or not, honest truth, Dwayne is one of the reasons why she got her laugh back, why she started to view life with colors and not just in a repetitive boring way.
Mukhang hindi gumana ang dasal niya today dahil habang naglalakad siya kasama nina Jayden at Aikee, nakasalubong nila si Dwayne.
"Aki," Tawag nito. Napapikit naman ng madiin si Akira sa tunog ng pag tawag sa kaniya ni Dwayne. It was as if her name rolls out his mouth naturally.
"Dwayne..." Panimula sana niya nang mag salita si Jayden.
"Dude, awat na. She doesn't want to talk to you okay? Stop being so makulit," Pag sunod ni Jayden kina Aikee at Akira na medyo nauna na mag lakad.
Dwayne was left there looking at the direction they went to- looking at Akira na hindi man lang siya tinignan. Napahugot nalang ito ng isang malalim na hininga at nag simula mag lakad the opposite way.
He was so out of it, even during class. He was stressed, sad and lonely.
Kaya naman after classes, he decided to call the boys and do what they usually do to relieve their stress- mag bar.
