Napatingin ako sa phone ko nung narinig kong nag-ring.
The name registered.
Shit.
I push the green button at ni-loudspeaker ko.
"Hey." Bored kong sagot.
"Where the fuck are you?" my cousin Ervins.
"On my way back to my Sorority House. Why?"
"Go back." pagdedemand ng bossy kong pinsan.
"I will not." nainis kong sagot. "Ayokong gisahin ng buhay ng nanay ko. Kung gusto mo ikaw na lang."
"It's your fault you know." he sighed.
"I know!" pasigaw kong sagot. "I said sorry and she..she...just..flipped out!"
"Fine. Alam kong di na kita mapipilit. Just call me when you get there. 'mkay?" pagsuko nya.
"Oh sure. Talk to you later I'm driving! Cheery cheery!" at pinatay ko na phone ko.
Nagwala na naman siguro yung mahal kong ina nung nalaman nyang umalis na ko.
She gave me the damn credit card tapos magagalit sya pag gumastos ako ng malaki. Sus.
Irrational.
My phone blip.
I read the text from Kendra.
"Wer r u Ash? I'm already here. HURRY."
Umiling ako at di nagreply.
Papunta nako sa Southern Asia University kung san nagaaral ako. It's located in Laguna dahil kailangan ng malaking space para sa University na yon. Masyadong crowded ang Metro Manila.
Nakapasok nako sa loob ng University. Walan magaakala na school to. Mukhang village.
