Hidden Hearts and Summer Skies (Silent Secrets of Summer #1)

Chapter 8

School has officially started, one week orientation is done, so we are now with introductions, basics, and subject course.

Just like what I've said to Jiro, I will be bringing my car for this school year, gusto ko pangatawanan ang pagiging independent ko, I want to be on my own. Sabi nga ni Queen Taylor 'You're on your own, kid. You always have been.' Pangatawanan nalang na'tin.

Maaga akong nag-ayos. My first subject will start at 9 am, I still have an hour and a half, since tapos na akong mag-ayos, I just need to check my belongings, since hanggang hapon ang schedule ko.

After kong maayos lahat ng dadalhin ko, kinuha ko na ang susi ng kotse at bumaba na para magpaalam, I already had my breakfast, 'di nga lang ako nakasabay sakanila.

I made the right decision na maagang umalis dahil ang dami ng students when I came to the campus. After parking my car dumiretso na agad ako sa classroom ko.

Pagdating ko sa room, tatlo palang ang nandun so I took one of the seats infront, since I don't want to be distracted in every lesson, kaya ayaw kong nauupo sa gitna lalo sa dulo.

After 5 minutes unti-unti na rin nagsisidating ang lahat, we did the introductions, ofcourse hindi naman mawawala yan in every new school year, parang karamihan ata sa'min ngayon ay transferee's that's why our professor proceeded to the school rules kahit nasabi na ito sa orientation.

Napahaba pa ang dapat sanang 30 mins introduction lang dahil sa sobrang tanong mga kaklase ko, I don't know kung saan silang lupalop galing at pati basic question kailangan pa iexplain sakanila.

I have my 2 hours vacant after my afternoon schedule so bumaba na ako to get my late lunch, I just got a pasta, fries, burger and my favorite blue lemonade. Lucky me for having a fast metabolism, kahit ata anong kainin ko I don't get fat, mukha daw akong hindi kumakain, not my fault though.

The library is packed, dun ako dumiretso after that lunch, I'll get the books I needed para sa mga subject courses, I just want to read in advance.

When I get to the table where no one's sitting in, I checked my phone kasi kanina pa siya nagva-vibrate. Upon checking, it was mostly from Jiro, first was this morning informing me he only had 1 subject, then kanina before I had my lunch asking me to eat with him. I replied to him, feeling guilty.

[ Me ]

Sorry, I already had my lunch. Didn't know you only had 1 subject today. Lucky you.

After I sent that I silent my phone and proceeded to read the books I borrowed. Took some notes on my ipad for future purposes.

Nag-buzz nanaman ang phone ko but this time it was my alarm for my last subject. 'Diko na nacheck ang phone ko at pumunta na sa building kung nasaan ang room ng last subject na meron ako ngayong araw.

Pagkarating ko dun halos bilang lang kami, halos magkasunod lang din kaming dumating ng prof, just like what happened to my 2 first subject, we did the introduction and basics.

When I got to my car, inilapag ko na ang mga gamit ko sa passenger seat, I checked my phone and saw notifications again. Never atang matatahimik itong phone ko.

[ Jiro ]

Where are you? Still at campus?

[ Jiro ]

Someone saw you at the library, you still there?

[ Jiro ]

You're probably on your last class. Do you mind if I ask you out for dinner?

I just dialed his number para makita niya agad, ilang beses ko pang sinubukan pero it just kept on ringing, after the last try hindi pa rin ito nasagot. I just texted him. Mukhang nasa klase ata siya.
