Pablo's eyes were dark and full of anger as he walk towards the hall. His dark expression scared everyone in the hallway making them step aside.
Stell has been distant towards him and it was irritating him.
Ever since that moment in the underpass. For the past three weeks Stell had been avoiding him.
Many thoughts and questions kept swirling in his mind at that moment.
May nagawa ba siyang mali? O may nasabing hindi niya nagustuhan? He was just being honest, sapat na bang dahilan 'yon para iwasan siya nito?
... Pablo stopped midway and shook his head as he entered the lecture hall.
He made his way towards to his seat that was located at the back of the room, near the window.
He took a deep breathe , brows were deeply furrowed with eyes fixed outside the window.
Stell's well being came into his mind, he started to chew at his cheek. Turning his head to his empty seat. He really wanted to confront Stell. Talk to him but every time I try to approach him all he does is to run away from me.
"Dre! Nakita mo ba si Stell ?Hinahanap kasi siya ni Jhoanna ngayon". saad ng bagong dating bago naupo at inakbayan siya.
"How do I know? " I snapped at him at agad na tinanggal ang pagkakaakbay niya sa akin.
Josh chuckled. "Looks like somebody's in a bad mood." Nanunudyo ang mga matang saad nito.
"Don't piss me off today, Josh. I'm not in the mood." He warned him
"Alright," he raised his arms in surrender. "So, Sasama ka ba mamaya" Tanong niya pagkatapos.
He is referring to the drinking party every end of the month. But Pablo swore to himself that when Josh dragged him that day ay iyon na ang una't huling beses na dadalo siya.
"You already know the answer." He replied
"Why not. Your admirers wanted to know, are you just gonna leave them hanging?"
Pablo raised a brow, looking unamused at the topic of conversation.
"Josh, I don't care." He said emphatically leaving no room for argument. Matapos ay napahilamos siya sa kaniyang mukha at sumubsob sa mesa.
Josh then remarks with a waggle of his eyebrows. Dahilan upang umangat ang tingin ko sa kanya.
"Kahit sabihin kong pupunta si Stell?" He emphasized with a flash of leer crossing his face.
Hearing that, Pablo didn't hesitate to tag along.

Flocks of college freshman were now gathered around the pub.
Once we step inside , It didn't take long to spot Stell. He was seated at a table in the corner alongside with the other freshman students from different departments.
A while later, his head snapped back to his right when there's a light tap on his shoulder.
Understanding dawned on his face. He did not utter a word and just nodded his head. As Josh, he immediately walked towards a table to mingle with the other's.
Whereas , I sat by myself at the corner athwart to Stell's table and lowered my head staying off anyone's radar.
He was downing the rest of his drink when you felt a light tap on your shoulder.
Pablo turns and was met by a woman with red hair that made her stand out from the others.
"Hi." She greeted and I gave her a nod.
