Responsibilities That Ties Us

Chapter 11: Manok Ko 'Yan

Landon was off the rails, groaning and ruffling his hair out of boredom; Sophia was nowhere to be seen, probably buried under paperwork or stuck with her research group; Vince is... well, Vince. No talking, not acknowledging my presence in the slightest.

I, on the other hand, may or may not glue to my phone screen. Hindi naman ako ganoong ka occupied but someone's ignorant enough to bother me. I would've blocked him if I could, but dahil nga sa dilemang nakaharang saaming dalawa, I could'nt find it in myself to.

Nung hiningi nito yung number ko, hindi ko naman ata in-expect na parati na niya akong guguluhon. Mas better nalang na hindi ko siya pinansin nung gabing iyon.

I fought the urge to roll my eyes at my phone before sending a 'whatever' and putting it back in my pocket. Bumuntad saaking ang daing ni Landon na parang kanina pa nagpro-problema sa buhay niya.

"Ba't hindi pwedi mamili ng members? Nakakainis nung naging grupo ko."

Figured. It's about the project in one of our subjects. I already made my move and went individually, knowing I'll only be dragged down by the group since some of our classmates can be a bit ... lazy.

Hindi ako nakikipagkilala sa mga tamad at walang balak sa buhay; they could go down the route for all I care, pero dapat hindi nila ako dadalhil sa ganyang pamamaraan.

"Pwedi mo naman kunin pangalan nila sa project kung hindi tutulong," ani ni Sophia, nakatuon ang atensyon sa kanyang laptop. Probably SSG another paperwork.
