We found love in a hopeless place

chapter 3: homework

That feeling when someone is posting something about you. It feels...weird and scary. I mean baka naman kasama ko lang pala siya ganyan and I trust them tapos they're just using those information to destroy me. Okay maybe I'm thinking too much. Maraming bagay ang dapat kong ifocus sa ngayon. Like yung homework na binigay ni Sir Remy. (it still feels weird to think that he's my professor) And how am I gonna finish this in four days!!! E dapat nga one month ginagawa ang ganitong klaseng mga homework, this is homework?! Seriously? I'm dying because of pressure. 

In one day 5 hours ata akong umiiyak at nakatulala lang and less then two hours akong nasa harap ng laptop searching shit, typing, and copy pasting. I am so doomed. And hopeless. First homework and I might get an F.

"I hate my life, I have no idea what am I gonna do" I am hitting my head with my desk.

"Ahhhhh!"

Then Marco came out from his room, probably annoyed of my freaking out.

"Are you being raped?"

"What the- NO!"

"Then bakit ang ingay mo?"

"Kasi! may case study pa ako at due na in four days"

"Yan kasi Procastination"

"Yan kasi Procastination (mimicking him with a childish voice and the making of face)"

"It is really hard doing all the school stuffs because I was not used to these. I was home schooled remember?"

And he just rolled his eyes. Jerk.

Two days to go before the due of this torture. I had to do something drastic and fast. Hindi ko na talaga kaya to. So I will swallow my pride and go to the man I hate most.

"Marco-"

"No"

Wow, marunong magread ng mind to ah.

"Wait, di mo pa naman naririnig yung negotiation ko ah"

"Ganito na lang, treat me everyday with Starbucks, Grande"

Ambisyosa naman tong lalaking to, may bayad pala ang utak. ugh, no choice. Kailangan ko na talagang matapos e. So kung ittreat ko siya everyday edi no shopping *sigh

"Fine, two weeks lang"

"Deal"

Naghappy dance pa ang bwiset na to. Matalino nga, ginagamit naman sa mali.

Pero infairness, hindi nakakadisappoint si Marco. As in ginagawa naman niya lahat, nagpupuyat siya for my case study and mas inuuna niya pa yung sa 'ken kesa yung sa kanya. Dapat lang no, Starbucks is worth that.

When the day came for the due of case studies I was very happy and proud that I got to pass mine, though most of it were Marco's work. Atleast I did something, kahit introduction lang.

Lunch break. I ate a lot because I was replacing the energy I lost in these past few days. Though Marco should be the one doing that. What? I'm hungry, no one would imagine I could eat this much.

"Did I lock the fridge in the house?"

"No, why?"

"Then why are you eating like a cannibal?"

Funny Marco, Oh and Bre was with us and laughing (traitor). she's sort of my friend as of now kasi wala pa akong masyadong nakakaclose sa mga classmates ko. She is fun to be with naman, parang girl version nga ni Marco e. to be honest minsan nakakaOP and nakakainis. Imagine two Marcos? I can't and I will not let it happen.

"Sige ka, no starbucks this day"

"I was kidding naman Jesse (sabay akbay saken) maki-ride ka na lang"

He did not just call me a kill joy, I  mean alam mo yung feeling na pinagtatawanan? Ugh. Patience Jesse.

At Starbucks, Boy it smells so good. Nakakatempt bumili talaga. And so I did. And guess who I met.

Sean

Andaming atang trabaho ng taong to ha, bartender na, barista pa. And there's a tinee tiny hope their in my heart na nakalimutan na niya ako yung babae sa bar. Baka kasi anong isipin ni Marco e.

"Faun?"

"Who?" Marco asked with a confused look

"Nobody"

At kinurot ko si Marco bilang senyas para maki-ride na lang siya.

"Oh Sean, right? sorry nawala ko phone ko e."

"Okay lang, It's good to see you again"

Maybe for you but not for me. Please don't ask for number again. Please, Please, Please...

"So, do you have a new number?"

"No, my girlfriend's not interested"

Adami talagang unexpected twists ang nangyayari sa buhay ko kapag andiyan si Marco.

"Girlfriend?"

Marco whispered "Do you want to be save or not? Now shut it"

And after paying for the Starbucks we hurriedly went to the car. Marco looked at me with his "What the hell was that about?" stare. But I just shrug my shoulders. Ayoko ng magkwento pa. My life is complicated.

The next day I went to Remy's office to see my grade. He was busy talking to some one. I don't think she is a student because she looks old for a student. I know it's bad to eavesdrop but I just can't help it.

"I think it's too late for that Marissa"

Too late for what? Who's Marissa. I know I have no right to be jealous but.

"You will regret this"

"I don't"

And she left his office going to the other side kaya I didn't see her face but only her long wavy brown hair. Not suited for the name Marissa.

I knocked on the door and entered. 

"Can I get my case study sir?"

"You don't need to call me that when it's just us"

"I know, Nasanay lang"

"Don't think na I will favor you more in terms of grades."

"I don't"

He gave me the folder and said "Good work" and I left because Marco was calling my cellphone like crazy dahil sumasakit daw tiyan and I have a feeling dahil yan sa Starbucks na iniinom niya. hahaha buti nga.

"Make sure you spray air freshener sa CR because you will be banned if it still smells"

"I'd be damned"

I can't help my self laughing so hard. How karma hits so fast.

"What did you put in the Starbucks?"

"What? I have nothing to do with that, it's pure fate"

"Shut up"

I laughed louder. Then I remember I need to see my grade so I got the folder then I was surprised to read his work. He was great, I mean I give him credit because he worked on this for only two days.

A was my grade.

then a paper fell from my folder.

 Milky Way Bldg., 900 Pasay Rd., Makati City

What the hell is this?
