Aryse (KSN) is running for the position of President in their prestigious university when suddenly Keilo (LHS), a transferee decided to run for that position too. The election is said to be the reason why these two won't get along. But what if in th...
"Waaah! I can't forget that one question on the exam! Sobrang hirap.." Nanlulumo kong sabi.
We are now on our usual spot, the gazebo near the admin's office. Our midterm examination just ended and we planned to meet here para makapag coffee kami afterwards.
But I don't know if I deserve a coffee right now. I didn't do well in General Mathematics!
I heard Wayne chuckled. Sumilay ang ngiti sa kanyang labi. While Simone..
He is bowing his head and sad expression is visible on his face. Kaunti na lang ay mauuntog na sa mesa ang ulo niya.
I am worried.
"Sim, are you alright?" I asked.
He just raised his hand to signale that he needs some alone time. I can't help but be worried so I looked at Wayne to ask for help but he just shrugged.
"You know what, exam scores doesn't define us. We are worthy than we think. Let's go and grab our precious coffee—" I was about to stand up but Wayne grabbed my hand. It is a gentle touch.
I confusedly turned to him because of his gesture.
He showed me his phone screen and I read the content of it.

After mabasa 'yon, nanlumo ako lalo.
Why do I feel pressured?
I know I can turn down Kuya Cholo's offer or request—whatever you call it. Pero hindi ko maiwasang isipin na gusto rin ni Dad na humabol ako.
Yeah, alright, he's making me do things tat I don't even want to do. But despite of that, I still want him to be proud of me. May parte pa rin sa akin na gustong marinig 'yon mula sa kanya, sa kanila ni Mom.
Maybe being a class president wouldn't make him proud dahil maliit na pwesto lamang 'yon para sa kanya. So, should I really replace Kuya Cholo as the SSC president? To make my Dad proud?
"Are you planning to file a candidacy today?" I was back to reality when Wayne talked.
Napatulala ako, thinking this thoroughly.
Nakasalalay ang oras at pagod ko rito. Hindi ganoon kadali ang pamumuno, I know it because I've experienced it way back junior high school. Honestly speaking, gusto ko munang makawala sa routine na 'yon, pero dahil napunta ako sa sitwasyong wala akong choice, then might as well do it?
I don't know anymore.
"I don't know, Wayne. Right now.. I just want to rest. Napuyat ako kaka-review. Let's have our coffee na please." I pleaded as I looked to Simone who is still like a depressed vegetable.
