#5: The irreg student

I am now in my 2nd year as a nursing student and by God's grace, I surpassed those previous exhausting months. For your information, I am one of those students under online class for 2 years and at this moment we're now back for face to face classes.

Each of us were very glad to see one another personally and to get to know each other also. I am observing each of them and infairness, I have handsome classmates. Haha. With the sudden change of environment, lahat kami ay nangangapa pa sa panibagong lugar at mga kasama. Nagdaan ang mga araw, we are still adjusting pero makakaya naman.

Sa kabila ng mga happy moments as a college student, there were some things that I find it weird and somehow creepy. I am aware of some spooky stuffs about our department building dahil nga sa maraming marites and sa mga sabi-sabi rin. Pero may isa talagang pangyayari ang nagpagoosebumps sa'kin. There is a story kung saan sa left wing ng building, sa comfort room, you can hear someone crying. Kahit baliktarin daw ang comfort room, wala talagang mahanap na tao na umiiyak. Hindi ako naniniwala sa ganito because whatever element that is are not meant to stay here on earth. This crying sound was heard a long time ago and until now, may biglang kakaripas ng takbo because they heard someone who were sobbing.

Examination Day. Day 2. Grabe, ihing-ihi ako that time and for the unlucky day, walang open na comfort room sa second floor which is doon na assign ang room na intended sa amin. Bumaba ako para umihi and sa left wing ng building, doon ang tinutukoy nilang CR. Pagpasok ko, walang ibang tao. I immediately enter 'yung unang cubicle and did my thing. After 2 minutes, natapos na ako.

Palabas na sana ako sa cubicle nang biglang may narinig ako na may humahagolgol. I got frozen on my spot and I'm hesitant if lalabas kaagad at kumaripas ng takbo or magstastay sa loob. Pero deep inside, I'm curious of the sound, if totoo ba ang mga story o panakot lang ba or whatever. Grabe, I'm a brave girl no? Haha. Nanaig ang curiosity ko. Lumabas ako and tiningnan ang ilalim na part ng every cubicle if saan or kanino nanggaling ang hagolgol na 'yon. Sa dulong parte, I saw a girl and she's a nursing student din based on her uniform. Magulo ang buhok, puro pasa and ang mas malala, tanggal ang butones ng kanyang blouse. I caught her attention. Inaalala ko pa if kaklase ko ba o sa ibang year siya. And for a moment, I recognized her as one of my classmate in a certain subject. Siya 'yung irreg na classmate namin. A 3rd year student. 'Yung napakapretty and mahaba ang buhok. 

I ask what happened. Nangiginig siya at humahagolgol. Lumapit ako at sinabing sasamahan ko siyang magsumbong sa Guidance office. She refused at tila napatda siya sa kaniyang kinatatayuan nang makita kung sino ang sa aking likuran. Lumigon ako at biglang nakaramdam ako ng pagkahilo at dumilim ang paligid ko. Hindi ko makakalimutan ang malademonyong ngisi niya, ang aming guidance counselor, si Sir Bry... #
