“Thank you sa paghatid, Jeric.”

“No problem basta ikaw.” I just smile and he smiled back. Napakabait talaga nito. Hinatid lang naman ako sa room namin ngaun. We just get every student’s attention, they were curious. Sino nga naman ako at hinatid pa ng King Tiger.

“Sige na baka malate ka pa, medyo malayo pa ang building niyo.” Pinagtabuyan ko naman siya at nagsalute na lang sa akin whiling taking his step.

I entered the room and everyone’s eyeing me as if I am a criminal. “Shut your fvcking eyes on me.” I thought. Nothing’s new kahit noon pa man hindi na sila nasanay na hinatid ako ni Jeric dito. I walk towards my friends. Alex is now giving me her inquiring smile while Sam rolled her eyes.

“Bakit hinatid ka na naman ng Jeric Teng nay un?” Sam gives me her deadly look. What’s her problem about it?

“Back off, Sam. Jeric Teng for treeeey! Manok ko yan! Hahaha!” Alex laughed hardly. I’m sure iniinis niya lang si Sam.

“Whatever. Jeron pa rin ako.” She said casually. Alex imitated Sam at nahampas naman ng mahina ni Sam sa braso ang bruha.

“Are you sure kaya  mo na?”  Sam changed the topic and looked at me directly.

“Oo nga ang putla mo pa. Naexcuse ka naman namin sa mga prof natin.”

“I’m fine. Really. Ang dami ko nang namiss na lectures.” I assured them and sat down.

I was on leave absences for three days because I had a fever maybe sa pagbabad sa ulanan nung bagyo. When I got home I instantly tell to my friends what really happened. They scolded me because of lying that na wala naman daw talagang Jeron na dumating that time.

“I need the first draft of your project this term. So kindly pass it on me until eleven in the morning, I won’t be around in afternoon. Late submission is not allowed I will mark it fail automatically.” Prof. Donor declared. I heard my classmates murmured, I’m sure kukunti pa lang ang nakatapos.

“I’m just so lucky, natapos ko ung akin kagabi. Tapos mo na ba ung first draft?” tanong ni Sam kay Alex.

“Yup. Last week pa. How about you, Madds?” baling nila sa akin. I just rolled my eyes, the truth is wala pa akong nagagawa I mean meron pero wala pa sa kalahati na kay Sam nga iyon eh.

“Hindi pa. Diba nasa folder mo nailagay ko un, Sam?” kinuha naman nito ang sketch pad niya at hinugot ang isang papel.

“Here.” She handed me the paper. Napasmile na lang ako nang makita kong puno na ang papel. May design na din ito at may signature na din sa dulo ng papel at pangalan ko ang nakalagay dito.

“Tinapos ko na. Alam ko kasi mahihirapan ka tapusin yan lalo pa’t nagkasakit ka ng tatlong araw.”

“Thank you ah!” Niyakap ko naman siya ng mahigpit.
