Bakit ba ako kinakabahan? Kukuhanin ko lang naman sa prinsipe ang ID ko, ibibigay niya lang naman, then I would say "Thank you, you really have saved my life there" in person, and then I'd go. Hindi naman niya ako yayain sa library para mag-aral together, or kaya magkape sa Starbucks o kumain sa McDo.
Yes, gwapo siya, matangkad, mabango at soft spoken but it was not like I had a crush on Julien?
I took a deep breath para pakalmahin ang sarili ko. I was almost at the façade, ignoring the urge to stop para i-check ang sarili ko sa salamin. Ang haggard ko na yata, at amoy na yata akong mandirigma! Sumaglit ako sa washroom dahil hindi ako makatiis, powder, gloss, at ilang wisik ng perfume. Combing my waist length hair, I asked myself again, why was I doing this? Inayos ko ang white loose shirt na naka-tuck in sa faded jeans ko, then admired my green sneakers na kakulay ng frog tote bag ko, bago muling tinungo ang CEA.
Waiting, I checked my phone. It had been 3 minutes, hindi na rin siya naka-active sa messenger. Anong floor kaya siya? Gaano ba katagal bumaba ng stairs from the upper floors? I opened the calculator app, ready na mag-compute when I heard his voice.
"Addyson."
Paglingon ko, it was my handsome block mate I saw, and not the prince. Ang dahilan ng mga luha ni Eunice, at nang iba pang mga kababaihan, si Ace Castro.
"Jules was needed somewhere." Paliwanag niya habang inaabot sa'kin ang ID ko. "Pinabigay niya na lang."
"Oh." With a smile, I hid what I suddenly felt. "Thank you."
Ace gave me a look that I interpreted as you could have hidden your disappointment better, at saka ako tinalikuran.
Why was I even disappointed?
I disregarded the thought bago sinundan ang kaklase ko. It was time for our class.
