Expectations vs. Reality (On-Going)

Chapter 11 [Team Building Day 1: Part II]

Continuation..

"Do I really need to introduce myself?"

Pag angat ko ng beautiful face ko, my eyes locked at him.

What?! Paanong..

OMYGOLYGOSH! THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING! NOOOOO!

Ang inakala kong prince charming, ay isang madugang badboy beast pala! Huhu!

"Yes, of course" sagot ni Kuye Ed.

"Gideon Dale Fortalejo, STEM A-"

"NOWAY!" Shitty. Crap. I think my mouth just betrayed me! Umalingawngaw ang boses ko sa kinaroroonan namin. Lahat ng groupmates ko, they put their gaze on me. Gideon seems confused at first. But I notice that a curve just formed on his lips. Arghhh! The monster is friggin smirking at me!

Hindi pa rin ako makapaniwala! I really thought na makikilala ko na yung crush ko, si Gio. They really have the same voice! But no no.. No. Really, no! Coincidence. Yeah, right. Coincidence lang to.

The guy next to Monster na currently katabi ko rin started to introduce himself. I didn't bother to listen na. I still feel embarrassed kasi! Huhu! Ano kasing pumasok sa brain ko at naisigaw ko yun!

"Ikaw na binibining 'NOWAY'" pang aasar ni Kuya Ed at bumaling saakin. Everyone laughed. Hmmmp! Di ko man lang namalayan na tapos na pala magpakilala yung katabi ko.

"Uhm.. Hi! Hehe.. I-I'm Reign Summer Zamora from STEM A. Hope we can build friendship." I said sabay pakita ng friendly smile ko. Shitty crap nautal ako dun! "And one more thing, forget the 'noway thingy' please hehe" dagdag ko. Hays kahiya talaga!

"Nice name." comment ng iba. Nginitian ko nalang.

"I guess I'm next?" the girl beside me simply said. Nang walang nagsalita ay nagpatuloy na sya, "Helloo! My name is Alhyza Reyes from STEM D. Certified Directioner, Belieber, ARMY in short certified fangirl!" she added. I guess I'm right, she's nice and pretty pa.

Wait.. Did she just said that she's from STEM D? Baka kilala nya yung taong hinahanap ko kanina pa!

"Hey Alhyza! STEM D right?" bulong ko sakanya habang may iba pang nagpapakilala.

"Oh, yes. Bakit?"

"May kilala ka bang Gio? From STEM D rin. I've been looking for him kasi eh."

"Gio? Sa pagkakaalam ko, walang Gio sa STEM D. Teka, ano bang surname?"

"Uhm.. Oops. Yan lang. I don't know his surname." napakamot nalang ako sa ulo ko.

Hindi na kami nakinig sa mga next pang nag introduce at nagkwentuhan nalang. While the two of us ay nagkkwentuhan, I can see from my peripheral vision that Gideon is staring at me.

Kung nakakamatay ang titig, I am probably a cold sexy corpse right now. Hmmp! What is his problem nanaman ba?!

"So as you can see, I have here 10 small plastic balls. Para sa 2nd indoor activity natin, this is not just a simple plastic ball. This serves as your dream. So technically, this is important. At ano bang ginagawa nyo sa mahahalagang bagay sa inyo?" -Kuya Ed.

"Taking good care of it" bored na sabi nung nasa likod.

"That's right. Kaya this time, hindi lang ito basta basta laruan. Kailangan nyo itong pahalagahan gaya ng pagpapahalaga nyo sa mga pangarap nyo. You have to do everything for your dream to be realised." a moment of silence.. Parang sinisink in pa ng group mates ko ang sinabi ni Kuya Ed.
