The Last Bet (one-shot)

The Last Bet

 In our life they say that in everything you do is gamble. Everything you do there is an equal risk into it. Pero sabi nga nila paano mo malalaman kung hindi mo susubukan? Kahit na gaano ka pa katakot o naduduwag.Mas maganda ng nasubukan kesa sa hindi at least masasabi mo sa sarili mo na at least you’ve tried enough at least walang halong pagsisi na hindi mo sinubukan o wala ka man lang ginawa.

Hindi man perpekto ang mundo gayon din ang mga tao, ito ang nagiging dahilan para mahanap  natin ang  magkukumpleto nito sa  na galing sa ibang tao.

Isa akong transfer student sa unibersidad na ito at dahil doon ay irregular student ako. Back to square one. Hope this school would not suck, like my old school though.  I was interrupted when I heard our professor spoke.

“Ok, class where going to have a team-up project by two’s ang groupings so group yourselves now.” What? Groupings agad? Then lahat ay nagpuntahan na sa kanya-kanay nilang mga kapartner. And me I was actually left alone. Well what do I expect?

“Sinong walang partner?” tanong ng professor namin. Magtataas na sana ako ng kamay.Then someone raises there hand.

“Me sir!” rinig kung sigaw mula sa likod ay may tumayo.

“Oh it’s you again.” then I heard the class laugh,bakit naman sila nagtawanan?Anong nakakatawa? But the girl just ignores it and just smiles and laughed it out.

“Sino ang gustong maging partner ni Ms.Melanie? Anyone” the professor asked again,but everyone just continue to speak as if the professor hasn’t spoken. Just great, my classmates are jerks now? Out of irritation I raised my hand.

“Ako,Sir  walang kapartner”.I volunteer  tutal wala naman din akong partner so yeah it’s a good start for my new environment.

“Ok, there you go. Oh looks like it’s our transfer student Earl Fernandez.” Kailangan pa bang iaanounce?

Nang lumapit siya everyone just stare at me, mga adik ba tong mga to? Umupo siya sa tabi ko at biglang sabi.

 “Don’t mind them, they are just bunch of fools” matigas nyang sabi. Fools? Bakit ba parang ang laki ng galit nya sa mga classmates nya?

“Ah,ok pero bakit ba sila ganun sila makatingin sa iyo.” I know I shouldn’t asked that question per ito na nasabi ko na.

She shrugged “I don’t know it’s better for you to not to know. Halika na let’s talk about our project para matapos na.”

Ok, I think it will be harder than I thought. These new school is weird.

Nagusap kaming dalawa.Napaka seryoso nya palang tao. Hindi rin naman ako palakaibigan na tao. Iisa nga lang ang kaibigan ko si Jeffrey sa dati kung unbersidad.  I was looking at her face maganda naman siya. She has a brown eyes and kissable lips.

“Hey! Are you even listening?”

Shit! What the hell is wrong with me? Did I just check her out?

“Oo naman!”

“So, I was saying ikaw ang bahala sa unang part ng report natin then I’ll be doing the last part got it?” She said while scribbling something unto the paper and sabay nyang inabot ito sa akin.

I nod in response at kinuaha nag inabot nyang papel .

“Good so, ok na?”sabi nya,

“Yip” I answer her,pagkatapos noon ay bumalik na siya sa upuan nya. Paano kaya yun? We have to communicate regarding this report. Ano yun ako lang? Aba ang swerte nya. Maya lalapitan ko siya sa uwian buti na lang at last subject ko na ito.
