Navigating Hearts ( Aviation College Series #1)

Chapter 24

When everything feels to be in the right places, time seemed to pass quickly more than we could ever imagine.

If I had told Aeros my situation a little sooner, would things still result this way? Or, If Aeros didn't discover anything that time, would things have gone differently?

Hindi ko rin alam. The only thing I knew was, that moment, I have someone I could share everything with.

"Grabe! Ngayong exam pa talaga tayo pinahirapan eh, no?" Said one my male classmates, Seanu.

"Puteks! Ang hirap nung ground servicing par, ang konti ng module at discussions kaya hindi talaga ako nag-expect na ganun 'yun." Reklamo naman ni Jeff.

"Kung saan 'di natin major ay baka dun pa ang bagsak ko."

"Sa unang power point kasi nanggaling yung majority sa mga tanong." Sulpot ko naman sa kanila.

"Edi sana nagsabi ka, Liharra." Pabirong bwelta ni Joshua; I can sense the humor.

"Hindi na kasalan ni Liharra kung hindi kayo nag-aral." Felicia interfered too. "Mas gusto niyo lang naman mag-mobile games kaysa i-check isa-isa ang mga lessons."

"Hindi ka ba mabiro, Fely? Porke't kayong tatlo ang may pinakamataas na grades sa classroom?"

Fely and I got the same score in two of our major subjects. May isang minor subject naman na mas mataas ang score ni Albert sa'ming dalawa. Overall, hindi naman masyadong magkalayo ang grades naming tatlo. Probably, because of Lola Dalhia, Albert became more serious in acads than he was before.

"Meeting daw about sa graduation mamaya sa Avionics room. Everyone should be present." Felicia announced.

"Graduation agad? 'di pa nga sigurado kung papasa ako."

"Nako! Hindi tama 'yan. 'Wag kayong mag-isip ng ganiyan. Think positive dapat, okay?" It was Edison that was seconded by Albert.

"Lahat tayo papasa. We all worked hard for this moment to come; we deserve to receive a diploma on time."

Albert's statement was answered by the dreamy sighs of our female colleagues.

"May girlfriend ka na ba, Albert?" sigaw ng tibo naming kaklase dahil sa dulo ng classroom ito nakaupo. "Baka pwede pa raw humabol itong si Diane."

The girl in a perfect fishtail hairstyle quickly covered her reddened face because of embarrassment. Napuno naman ng katyawan ang loob ng classroom. Mukhang hindi naman offended si Albert dahil patawa-tawa pa ito.

"I'm not in a relationship but," my forehead creased when he glanced at my direction. "I do have someone I like."

Ako ang unang nag-iwas ng tingin sa'ming dalawa. Meanwhile, I received a text from Aeros saying he's already waiting for me at the school's front gate and so I immediately fixed my things and went out of our classroom.

Habang binabagtas ang hallway ng aming building. Nakasalubong ko si Sir Ocampo, he was all smiles. I smiled back and greeted him.

"Our meeting with the faculty just got ended. Congrats, you are currently leading the Avionics department."

"Thank you, Sir." Sabi ko. "Pero hindi pa naman sigurado 'yan, Sir. Next week pa yung final deliberation, 'di po ba?"

Sir Ocampo chuckled and tapped my shoulder. "I have high hopes for you. Believe me, your grades are too far from other students. Perks of having all unos in your transcript of records. You should prepare your speech by now."
