Chapter 22

Lauren

I was not informed that college would be this dreadful. All this papers on my desk is making me dizzy, I have to meet the deadline which is a less than a week from now.  Like really though, who would assign a freshman student to make a businessplan and thesis at the same time, with only a month long?  Like heck, we're not robot.  This project needs a lot of cooperation from my fellow classmates yet we barely knew each other. 

"Aaaahhh!" I exclaimed habang kinakamot ko yung ulo ko.  Grabe naman to!  And dami, mag iinterview pa ako sa business plan ko.  I chose a clothing line business, pangarap ko na talaga dati pa magkaroon ng boutique, or whatever involves fashion. 

Where to go?  What to do? That's the question that keeps repeating on my head.  It keeps on pressuring me so much, but there's one thing that stress me way more than this projects. It pulls me down to the bottom where I cannot proccess anything right. Naiinis ako, naiirita dahil alam kong hindi ko matakasan ang isang rason kung bakit ako namomroblema ng sobra ngayon. I'm so frustrated knowing the fact that Karla Rosales, the last being I want to see on this planet is attending in the same school as I did.

Napabuntong hininga nalang ako, mag iisang buwan na ng nagsimula ang school year. It's a good thing hindi ko pa sya nae-encounter.  I can't bare her presence near me.  She is a like fuming fire that boils my blood whenever she get close to me. 

I'm glad that Sofia did tell me that day tho.

Flashback

Nakauwi na ako galing sa unang araw ng school, nakakapagod rin, mula dun sa pakikipagkalala sa mga classmates ko pati rin sa mga terror teachers na nakilala namin, most of them we're nice but there's a few that horrified me to the bones. Lalo na yung Business Literature namin.

He's the one who assigned us to make a thesis research and pass it by the end of the month.  Syempre lahat kami nagulat, as in duh.  First day of school were supposed to be goofing around with  newly met friends instead of receiving a dreadful project. I guess college would be my pandemonium.

I put my papers on my desk before I lay my body on a comfy bed, not minding to change my clothes filled with a whole day sweat and dirt.  Makakatulog na sana ako pero biglang nagring yung phone ko. 

'Sofia'

S: something important, where you at?

M: Home, what's the rush?

S: don't go anywhere, wait for me.  I'm on my way.

She said before hunging up, ano nanaman kaya problema nun? Just a minute later, may narinig akong malakas na katok sa pinto ng  kwarto ko, perks of being my best friends is having to walk freely around my house. Parang bahay na nga din nila ito e. 

Tumayo ako na tamad na tamad bago ko binuksan ang pinto.  I'm really tired and wanted to sleep so bad but this girl is preventing me from doing so. 

"What? " I asked.  Agad syang pumasok sa kwarto ko at dumiretso sa kama ko. 

"You will not believe what I'm about to say" she said frantically.

"Make it believable then" I remarked.

She snorted at my reply, which made me chuckled a bit.  Huminga sya ng malalim bago nagsalita.  I stared at her confused, I'm already having a bad feeling about this. Tumingin sya sakin mata sa mata, parang natatakot malaman ang magiging reaksyon ko sa kung ano mang naudyot sa kanya para pumunta dito.
