Thomas' POV

~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,~'~,

I was awakened by the vibration from my phone. Akala ko alarm pero 12:10pm ang nakadisplay sa time. I asked myself, do I have classes today? I can't recall kung pano ako nakatulog...

Oh! Free cut nga pala ang morning class ko and my next class will be at 12:30. No way, I only have less than 20 mins, hindi pa ako nagla-lunch! Panic, panic, panic. I quickly ate two slices of bread without cheese, butter or kahit anong palaman, just plain bread. I drank a glass of milk and ran towards the bathroom to wash my face and brush my teeth. Oww! Nakalimutan ko I have a bad foot nga pala and ugh -__- something bad happened this morning. Sheez, what a cruel day!

This is really not my day! Antagal pa ng elevator nung pababa ako and sobrang unsatisfied ng stomach ko sa dalawang slice ng bread. Oh my beloved tummy, we can do this! Until 2:00 lang naman ang class ko. After that we will eat like a king!

12:28pm I arrived at Room J208. It's kinda awkward kasi nung naabutan ko yung blockmates ko sobrang chill at fresh nila. Ako naman struggling dahil sa 'injury' ko at medyo sweaty pa dahil sobrang init ng feeling kapag nagmamadali. Anyway, they should mind their own business and I should mind mine.

I was so passive and bored for more than an hour. It felt like I'm checking the time every five minutes but everytime I looked at my watch, there were only 2 minutes added. 1:45pm, our prof ended his lecture and said that we're free to go.

I really wanted to eat right away and I'm thinking sa Japanese restaurant called Jap-Ok located in One Archer's Place... pero I need to go to Br. Connon Hall's bookstore first to buy a quiz booklet and a new pen na rin. Mas mahaba kasi yung lalakarin ko kung uunahin ko yung pagkain. Of course a person who wants to recover faster won't tire himself. So yun, I exited SJ Hall, passed by Yuchengco Hall and finally Connon. Nabili ko na rin yung dapat kong bilhin and finally it's lunch time for me. :D

I was passing by Yuch when I heard a familiar voice:

"Hoy! Thomas Torres!" oh no! Si Ara :O I ignored her and continued to walk. I don't wanna fuss right now. Gutom ako pls.

"Please! Thomas, let's talk" sabi niya. Still, I didn't look back. I tried to walk faster pero sumasakit ang paa ko. I think she's following me since her voice doesn't fade

"Ano ba Thomas, sandali lang naman oh." she demandedI faced her para matapos na

"Ara, I know na may kasalanan ako sa'yo and I already got my punishment. See this?" I showed her my foot "Okay na naman siguro ito diba? I don't wanna fight anymore so good bye and it was really nice to meet you"

 I turned away from her, assuming that  she'll stop na pero,

"Wait lang Thomas." She ran and went in front of me. "Gusto ko lang namang sabihin na I'm sorry eh. Sorry, yun lang!" Grrr that sorry sounds so annoying, instead na maforgive ko siya mas naiinis pa ako. So I just nodded and walked away

"Uy. I'm sorry na talaga. Pinagsisisihan ko yung ginawa ko kanina. I'm really sorry!" sabi niya in a louder voice. Hindi ko na napigilang sumagot sa kanya. I faced her and said:

"Alam mo Ara, I really wanna forgive you naman eh. Kaso ang sakit eh! Ang sakit sakit! Hindi ito dahil sa injury ko. Alam mo kung bakit? Kasi kanina, I was the one who is asking for forgiveness with all humility and sincerity pero you didn't listen. At ngayon after what happened, ikaw na ang nagsosorry? It hurts you know. From my perspective, the way na magsorry ka sounds so demanding. Kung alam mo lang yung feeling ko kanina, you won't be doing this."
