Second Chance Point

Another week has passed and 1st term has finally started. My school load is not full because of the UAAP season and I am more than happy to hear that. Btw, I'm taking up Accountancy.

*Alarm ringing*

It's already 9 am. Bakit ngayon lang ako nagising? I can't help but wonder kung ilang beses akong nag-snooze ng alarm. Ugh, snooze. I am so late.

It's just my second week in school but I feel like my profs want me dead this early. As you all know, DLSU is using the tri-sem system so everything is kinda fast paced in here compared to other schools.

TO DO: Go to the library, find that book and finish your report!

Actually, Jeron suggested this book. This report is for a minor subject of mine that he already took. He offered to help but his sched is kinda full with basketball, showbiz, school and other stuff.

My class starts at 12, inhale, exhale. May 3 hours ka pa, Sam. Kalma! 

I took a 2 minute bath. I swear, I don't know if it's fair enough to be called bath.

I didn't bother dress up. Kung ano ang nakuha ko, yun na. My report is way more important than what I look. Kiefer's not in DLSU anyway so why prepare?  

I picked up my bag and books and went straight out of my room. I didn't even bother look at the mirror. Tiwala sa natural beauty.

I saw JC drinking water by the kitchen and by the look of him, he's fresh from jogging. Good for him.

JC: Hey, what's with the rush? Your class starts at 12 pa ah. You have a date?

Sam: I have no time for dates right now. I haven't started my report yet. Nasa lib lang ako if you need me.

He nodded.

JC: Wait. Have you eaten breakfast?

Sam: No, I'll do it later!

JC: HEY!

I didn't let him finish his sentence. He won't allow me to leave home without eating anything. I threw him a flying kiss and literally flew my way to DLSU.

Breaaaathe. I'm panting heavily right now. Why did I even run? Am I really killing myself?

I left my stuff by the table, fired up my laptop and went looking for that book. I feel like a hero, a martyr to be exact when I noticed that only few students are here in the lib.

After minutes of looking for the book, I think my super powers can finally sense it. Malapit na ako.

But, I noticed this guy and this girl. They are sitting across each other, I can hear them giggling. Yeah, kids these days. I decided to check on those kids and maybe remind them to keep their mouths shut and do their flirting elsewhere. I am a frustrated librarian.

Malapit na ako, then the girl suddenly gave the guy a high five then I felt my heart. It's beating fast but then bakit may masakit? Did I just tear my heart?

The guy is Thomas. I know the girl, she's from his former block.

I let go of the thought of finding the book. Screw that report. I walked fast to the table where I placed my stuff. I sat down and breathe.

Compure, Sam. Composure.

I placed my head on the table as I place my hands on my head. Thomas' effect on me is still the same. He's not mine anymore. I don't have any right on him now.

Why am I feeling this? Friends do high fives, right? I tried to close my eyes and get away with whatever I am feeling right now.
