39 - The stars love is insane

Cephues POV

"Finally one week nalang mid term break na!!" Bain's cheerful greeting was filled with excitement, her wide grin suggesting that she had just won a billion in the lottery.

Yes, in this University, we have a 2-week break after each semester, as our academic calendar does not align with the DEPED schedule.

Our exams ended last Friday, and today is Monday again, yet I still haven't started on my plans for Hyacinth.

"Are you excited even though you have nothing to do during that 2-week break?" Ara remarked with a hint of sarcasm.

"Yeah, like you're really going somewhere, just hanging out at home," Dwayne teased.

"Alright, enough of that before you two start bickering," Ezekiel intervened, sounding like a mother trying to prevent an argument.

As for me, nakaupo lang ako at nakatulala, hearing their banter but not participating in their conversation.

Masyado akong abala sa binabalak ko, hindi ko pa nga alam kung paano sisimulan.

"Huy! Tulala kana naman"

"Huh?" Tinuon ko na ang atensyon ko sa kanila.

"Tulala kana naman. Bakit? Anong grades ba ang nakuha mo kanina?" Oo nga pala, nagpakita ng grades kanina si Miss Sisa.

"Flat 1." Bigla namang bumuga ng tubig itong si Dwayne sa mukha ni Bain na hindi na nakailag pa.

Nagtawanan naman kaming apat habang siya ay diring-diri sa nagawa nitong si Dwayne. Walang hesitation pa niyang tinaggal ang blazer at necktie niya dahil iyon lang naman ang nabasa sa kanya.

"Sorry na, ito kasing si Cephues nambibigla"

"Luh? Bakit ako?"

"Ang lalim kaya ng iniisip mo, akala namin may 1.25 kang nakuha kaya ka tulala." Pag dipensya naman nitong si Ara na hindi talaga mapigilan ang pag-tawa.

"Sorry, iniisip ko lang si Hya" wala sa wisyo kong saad, nanahimik naman silang apat. They shared a meaningful look bago ako biglaang pinalibutan.

Umupo pa nga sa tabi ko itong si Ara then si Bain naman ay talagang nag dive pa sa table ng bench namin at nakapangalumbaba pa.

"Anong meron? Kayo na?" Magiliw naman na tanong ni Ezekiel. Napangiwi ako sa inakto nila at saka umiling.

Nawala naman agad ang mga ngiti nila. The disappointing look could be seen in their faces.

"Luh? Ang bilis ng face drop ah"

"Ang bagal mo kasi. Balak mo bang i-slow burn yang love story ninyo?" Naiinis na kumento nitong si Bain.

"FYI nagbabalak na akong mag propose-"

"Propose? Papakasalan mo siya ulit?!" Ara's dramatic response makes me want to keep my plan a secret. Napatinginan tuloy kami ng mga tao nang bigla siyang tumayo.
