I veiwed Atien's story. It was a repost from Vixen. Mirror selfie iyon nina Vixen at Atien. Ang babaeng nasa-post ni Atien na hula ko ay ina niya ay naroon din.
They were at a designer boutique and Atien was holding all the paper-bags.
"@lacoste @tommyhilfiger @ralphlauren sponsor my bestie!" Anang caption.
I exited the app after that and ate. I didn't feel like doing anything so I postponed doing my schoolworks.
"Lia, you recite na!" Laureen urged me.
I glared at my group-mates. Naiinis ako na ako na lang palagi ang nagre-recite. I was already feeling stressed out and now this!
I turned to Atien and saw a helpless look in his face. Mas nainis ako. They're not even trying.
I heaved a deep sigh and stood to recite. Kailangang may representative ang bawat grupo at hindi ko na mabilang kung ilang beses akong nagsalita para sa grupo namin.
"Naiintindihan ko ang punto mo, Lia, ngunit hindi ko masasabing buong-puso akong sumasang-ayon sa 'yo! Pero, magaling! Hindi ko naisipan 'yan!" Nginitian ako ng guro bago bumaling sa kabilang grupo.
"Why couldn't you get it right? What if she'll deduct points from our group?" Nag-aalalang tanong ni Vixen.
I rolled my eyes and turned the other way. Naiinis ako sa kanila. It's not helping that Laureen's frowning face is annoying me. The nonchalance of Atien and Manolo are also getting on my nerves.
If they were that worried, they should've recited instead! Hindi iyong ako na nga ang nagbubuhat sa grupo tapos sila pa ang may ganang mag-demand!
I left our class as soon as our prof dismissed us.
Wala akong schedule sa gym ngayon pero pumunta pa rin ako. Ang plano ko kasi ay gagawa ako ng schoolworks pagkatapos ng huling klase ko ngunit hindi ako maka-concentrate dahil sa inis.
I'd rather spend my energy at the gym blowing some steam off than pick a fight in my head.
"Lia! Hey!"
I walked pass Atien and Manolo and went straight to the boxing room. I already had my gloves on so I went straight into practicing my punches.
I'm not that petty and brutal to imagine my group-mates' faces as the punching bag... but I feel significantly better as I throw each punch.
I showered after my training. Uuwi na dapat ako ngunit nadatnan ko sina Rafaella at Kayley sa may lounge. Alam daw nilang nandito ako at hinintay na lang ako para sabay kaming mag-dinner.
"Saan nga makikita 'yong slides para sa huling topic? Diba it's part of the coverage?" Ani Kayley.
May paparating kaming long exam at iyon din ang inaalala ko. May isang topiko na wala sa modules namin kaya hindi namin alam kung paano iyon pag-aaralan. Rafaella can't relate since she has a different prof.
"Kayley! Seryoso nga!" Tawag ko sa isa. Bago-bago lang ay nag-aalala ito ngunit ngayon ay parang wala nang pakialam. "Anong pag-aaralan natin?"
She shrugged, unfazed. "Wala. Dasal na lang." Nagngiting-aso siya at patuloy na sa pag-scroll. She's now busy deciding about the shape of her next nail extensions.
Napailing na lang ako.
"May kakilala akong magaling sa stats," ani Rafaella sabay tayo. Kayley and I got our bags too, ready to leave.
"Sino?"
"Pinsan ko," aniya at nauna nang maglakad. Mabuti naman sana kung hindi niya ako binibitin sa impormasyon. "Wait, I'll go tell him."
