I roamed my eyes around the classroom, Mrs. Hermosa, our Professor continued with her lesson as I stared at the piece of artwork behind her. "Painting is suitable for people who are suffering with deep traumatic depression." A warm smiled occured on her lips. "This artwork might be disheveled for you but I believe that the person behind this painting has stories to tell..."
Stories to tell, my ass.
I placed my palm on my lower cheek, her class is just so dragging. When the electric bell finally rang, I quickly took my bag from my chair.
"Senna?" Lumiere gulped infront of me. "Kailangan talaga namin ng tulog mo may pasok kasi kaming lahat mamayang hapon tapos bukas na ipapasa yung revision."
My forehead crinkled. God, Lumiere! I have so many things to do even though I'm free for the afternoon, wala parin akong oras para tapusin ang revision, I just wanna rest kakatapos lang ng exam week namin.
"I'm sorry, Senna." He lowered his head, Lumiere's an achiever so it's definitely a risk for him to entrust me with the revision. "Pero ikaw nalang talaga yung pag-asa namin."
"Where's Liam and Perin?" Referring to our other groupmates.
"They have classes in the afternoon," He frowned. "I promised susunod kami pagkatapos ng classes namin."
I took a deep breath as I slowly offered my palm, Lumiere gasped. "Thank you so much, Senna!"
I slightly nodded. "Hurry."
His lips twitched, then he slid a warm smile. "Oh!" He said. "Here is it." Lumierre immediately placed the USB on my palm.
"Thank you!" Hindi ko na pinansin pa si Lumierre, I just graced my way out of the classroom.
Good thing I brought my laptop with me cause hell, I won't borrow anyone's laptop and neither I'm using the school's property.
"Thale, I'm cancelling all our plans. I've got things to do." I said as soon as she answered the phone.
"Ate!" She shrieked over the line. "I already scheduled a session with my favorite hair dresser!" I could almost hear the frustration in her voice.
I would love to get a new haircut, I would love to get pampered for today but I guess that's not happening. Acads is being a bitch.
"Then go..." I remorsed. "Love you, sis."
I took out my macbook from my bag. "I hate you!" Her face's probably twisted now, galit na galit na naman ito sa akin.
Hindi ko na pinatagal pa at pinatayan na ng tawag si Thale, she won't stop bugging me if I won't end the call. My gaze roamed around the library, I rarely visit this place since I'm not much of a grade conscious... minsan lang talaga pag may kailangan akong libro dito.
Hindi na ako nagpatagal pa at sinimulan ko na ang revision ng thesis paper namin. Why does Lumiere and the group even entrust me with this? Sumasakit ulo ko dito, e. A group of three girls occasionally sat in the same table as I did since the table was huge at isa pa ako lang naman ang mag isang gumagamit.
I just shrugged it off and began typing again.
"Girls, look..." I overheard someone said. "It's Drain." My brow creased as I scanned the library again.
"Shit," Her friend mumbled. "Ang gwapo gwapo talaga." The girl with a pony tail took out her iPhone from the table then she aimlessly took a photo of him, she giggled and showed it with her friends. "He's so fucking hot." They mobed the photo na para bang wala sa unahan nila si Drain.
Drain took out something from the shelve, he lowered his head and silently read what's written at the back of the book he was holding, he then clenched his jaw.
Van Alexander appeared next to him, he patted Drain's back as they both bumped their fists with a grin on their face, the two of them laughed in a monotone since they're in the library.
"He looks so fucking good when he smiles," I overheard someone from the three girls again.
Kinibit balikat ko ulit iyon. Nothing new, everyone likes Drain, he's known for breaking hearts and being evil. Pinagpatuloy ko ang pag ta-type minsan ay binabasa ko ang mga links na ipinasa sa akin noon ni Lumiere, ang kailangan ko na lamang ay i-summarize ito.
I bit my lip as I tried to composed myself from cursing. Shit, I deleted Lumiere's emails, iyong links lang ang hindi ko nabura.
"Senna?" With an irritation evident on my face I lifted my head to the person infront of me.
"What are you doing here?" It's Van and Drain's actually next him, looking all tedium.
"Thesis," I replied.
Van nodded while sporting a devilish grin on his face, same old same. "So, you're grade conscious now?" He teased, I just glared at Van in return. "Kidding! Anyway, is Hedge's home now?"
Van and my brother are long time friends, we live in the same estate before but since my Mom and Dad separted umalis na din kami duon. "He's still in NY." I said, bored.
My gaze diverted on Drain, he was already looking at me parang napansin iyon ni Van kaya ngumisi ito. "Senna, this Drain, I'm sure you know him." Van introduced.
I didn't bother to offer my hand. I just casually nodded at him.
Well, I've never seen him up close till now and it really did justify why girls are after him, he's flawless, he's got well defined jaws and pointed nose... don't make me start with this one I'm just so sick of people adoring his complexion, I don't wanna be one of them.
