A Great Escape

AGE: Chapter 1

It's already past midnight pero hindi parin ako makatulog. Kanina pa ako iyak ng iyak dito. Hindi talaga ako maka move on. I still have a 9 a.m class later. Ilang oras na lang ulit ang tulog ko. Magang maga na mata ko. Magagalit nanaman si mama saakin pag nakita niya ako.

Nagising ako nang tumama ang liwanag sa mukha ko galing sa labas ng kwarto ko. I covered my face with my big pillow.

"Ano late ka nanaman!" Sigaw ni mama mula sa paanan ko.

I groaned as I rolled to the other side of  the bed.

"Ano hindi ka na mag aaral?!" Pasigaw na tanong ni mama. "Hindi ka talaga maaasahan kahit kelan!" Pahabol niya.

Tinanggal ko yung unan at kumot na nakatakip sakin at sumilip kung anong oras na. Shit! 8:30 a.m na! Nagmadali akong lumabas ng kwarto at nag prepare papunta sa school.

Our school is an hour drive from here. Dipende pa sa traffic. I just hope na walang masyadong traffic ngayon. Kumain lang ako ng isang bread at ininom yung milk na hinanda ni mama para sa akin.

It's already 8:45 when I rode a taxi. Okay, I'm absent again for my first class in the morning. Damn! Dapat hindi na lang ako nagmadali na pumasok kahit na alam kong late naman na ako. Tunganga nanaman ako ng maaga. At least I won't be hearing my mom yelling, telling me how bad I am as a daughter. Ako pa naman daw ang panganay. Ang unang tutulong sa kanila ni papa sa future at kung ano ano pang sama ng loob nya sa akin.

I just opened my phone and continued watching the drama I've been crying about all night. I love watching movies and stuffs. Kadalasan yun ang sagabal sa pag aaral ko. Kaya nga minsan pinapatay ni mama yung wifi para lang mag aral ako.

I'm in the middle of the best scene when someone called me. I frowned in annoyance. The drama that I'm watching stopped.

"What?" I asked her irritably.

"Where the hell are you!?" Yelled the girl on the other line. "You still have 10 minutes to be here! You'll be reporting next!"

I gasped in surprise. Shit! Today is my report for our final project this semester. That's why I stayed up late is because I finished all the topics about my report and practiced how to do it properly. Watching the drama was just another scenario.

I asked the driver to double up his speed because I'm freaking running late. I can feel my feet shaking as I ran towards our classroom. As usual, I arrived late again. I opened the door when everyone looked at me in disappointment. My professor is still fixing his things like someone didn't even entered.

"She made it." One of my classmate whispered.

"Good morning sir. Sorry I'm late." Come on Trish, try to make an excuse. "Something went wrong with my report so I have to fix it again." I told him as I went to my seat trying to prepare and fix my report.

"You better impress me or else you'll be retaking this class again and won't be able to have your OJT." He said in a strict voice.

I gulped as I went in front. I can see my classmates from the mini stage that I am stepping on. They gave me a 'good luck' smile as I started my report.

"And that's how the Central Processing Unit is formed, works and used." I smiled to my professor as well as my classmates trying to look confident in front of them.

My professor gave me slight smile as he dismissed our class after my report. I took out a deep breath in relief. My report is finally done. One down. The only thing that worries me is the result. It will be the basis if I can go and have my OJT this coming short term. The good thing is, my professor allowed me to report, if not, I'm really dead. 

I fixed my things and left the classroom. I know I can make it. I just need to find motivation. I searched around and my eyes caught something. I found it. Finally, I smiled.
