"Wakey, wakey!!! Breakfast is ready!!!" Ugh, since when did Manang talk to me in this language? UH-UH
Oh, no no. Shit. I'M LATE!
"SO, finally your awake. I've been screaming here for like 10 years and you're sleeping like there's no tomorrow." Oh please, bakit ba kasi ito pa yung napili kong lipatan.
"QUIET." I muttered, irritation's evident in my voice.
"Well, if I keep quiet, baka hindi ka na nagising. You should thank me for that." She replied smiling.
I don't know pero naiirita talaga ko sa pagiging jolly ng babaeng to.
"Mauuna na muna ko, don't ask why, alam ko namang ayaw mo kong kasama. Don't miss me ha, babalik din naman ako agad." She waved goodbye and then winked.
Umalis na siya and I was left with my mouth gaping. So, if she assumed that I'd miss her, she needed to think again.
BZZ-BZZZT *another morning message huh*
I picked up my phone on the bedside table to read the message
+639***********
Good morning sweetheart. Looking forward to see you again 😍
F*ck!!! After reading the message, I knew that I turned pale. I saw a horrified expression of myself in the mirror. I immediately took a shower and hurriedly got out of the room.
Nagmamadali na kong pumunta sa next class ko, not that I want to listen to my teachers lectures but because its my way of escaping the memories that was haunting me.
"Ouch" I was too preoccupied with my thoughts at hindi ko namalayang nabangga na pala ko.
"I'm sorry mi-oh wait, Cindy! Uhm, don't freak out if I know you, my friends told me about you yesterday and they said that you're kinda pretty and a bit cold" Eh, he knows me? I wasn't looking at him. Kinuha ko lahat ng gamit kong nahulog. Its the hassle that a late student must faced. Yung pakiramdam na lahat ng gamit hawak hawak mo dahil wala ka ng time ilagay sa bag mo. Nagmadali na kong pulutin yung gamit ko at umalis sa lugar na yon. After collecting my things, tumayo na ko at agad agad na pumunta sa classroom ko. Medyo malayo malayo pa ang tatakbuhin ko. I didn't even take a single glance of the guy that I bumped into. Mahirap na...
As I enter the classroom, I saw a small box with a blue gift wrapper and a perfect ribbon. I was second guessing if I'd pick it up or not. Still, wala kong nagawa kundi pulutin ito at pumasok na sa classroom.
"...to watch, bother, (someone) constantly in a way that is frightening and dangerous." The teacher said and everyone gasped.
"Gives me creep," said one of my classmates.
Nobody seemed to notice me because they're busy listening. Its a good thing right? Ugh, I made myself comfortable on my chair.
