lost in abyss (law of attraction series #1)

prologue

I was standing there, in front of co-students and classmates of mine. Four pairs of unrecognize eyes looking intently to each other, some maybe thinking of what to throw after their representative debate and some maybe offended. 

Pero parang nabubura lahat ng tao sa paligid ko, unti-unting naglalaho ang maiingay na cheers nila sa baba ng stage when a guy in front of me mockingly smirk and scan his eyes on my body. 

"...You got balls to meet my gaze, huh?"

Another round of craziest cheer but it became inaudible. The guy in front of me hastily pull my nape. He whispers. "Naputulan ka ba ng dila o wala ka ng ibang mabato?" Tumigil ito at tinapat ang mukha niya sa mukha ko upang magpantay kami. He put his forehead on mine. "You said glasses are a big hindrance in everything, try removing them and look yourself in the real glass kasi hindi ko makita anong nagustuhan ng lalaking 'yon sa'yo." 

"Okay class, that's enough of mock defense for now, you can go back to your respective classroom and we'll continue this tomorrow, for the class mayor, follow me to the faculty, please."

All I know once the first of day class of my preferred course begin was to change my lifestyle than my senior high school days, kasi seryosong usapan na ang kursong binagsakan ko e', isa pa, most of the people I know, didn't consult me if I even like being here. 

Before the tiniest inconvenience of my life become a disaster I have to face on or else I'm dead. 

It's exactly five months ago when my college days started, days are running slow in my perspective. I don't claim myself lucky that I'm here at this prestigious school in bulacan called BulSU or Bulacan State University taking my pre-law course which is legal management kasi lahat dito ay may bayad, ang paghinga lang ang hindi. 

Sa ngayon, isa ako sa running for mayor of our class section at dadalawa lang kaming lalaki ang nakatayo nang matikas sa harap ng classmates namin with our uniforms in-tact, proper haircut, clean skin I mean, no tattoos or piercing even natural black hair, well except sa isang guy na katabi ko ngayon, hindi ko alam if natural ba na brownish ang hair niya or pinasadahan ng kulay n'ong bakasyon but that's it, tingnan na lang namin kung sino ang makakakuha ng desired position dahil balita ko sa kalaban ko bigatin ang pamilya niya, kilala ito sa loob ng campus at maraming galamay, maybe that's also one of the privileges kaya siya nakatayo ngayon dito. 

But one thing for sure, hindi niya 'ko gustong nakatayo rin dito, kanina ko pa kasi nararamdaman ang uneasiness niya by acting using his body as if there's an ick around him. 

May professor na nakatayo sa likod matapos namin na matuturing kong one of the intimate professor during the past students 

ibigay ang persuasive speech at nagdadamihang credetials sa past school years. 

Pero bakit ba ngayon lang kami nag-eleksyon para sa klase kung mas'yado nang late? 

"Who else in this classroom ran as a mayor and where did he/she go to live your classmates improperly going in and out of this campus? Paano kung may mangyari na hindi maganda at hindi alam ng mga magulang niyo? I'm sure nobody here would take care of the mess once that happen because you have no leader and other officers ?" 

"Okay. You two sit down, I'm just gonna roast you for the first time," ani ng prof tsaka lumakad ito nang mahinhin habang ang kamay ay nasa likod niya, isa isa niya kaming tiningnan. 

Huminto ito sa aisle kung saan ako nakaupo, nakatingin pa rin siya ng diretso sa klase pero parang ramdam ko na ako ang tatanungin nito. "You, Mr EyeGlasses aka running for Mayor, if you really want to become the leader of your section, bakit hindi niyo pa ginawa noon iyan, didn't you know you have no advisers anymore once you step out in Senior High School?"
