Attraction
"Why are you looking inspired today?" Kenzie's eyes narrowed as she asked me.
It has been a long day and we finally came back to our own room to rest.
"What do you mean? Everything went on smoothly today, I'm just feeling happy." I said defensively.
Her brows furrowed too, not believing what I just said. "You don't just look happy, you look inspired." She concluded with finality.
Napaisip tuloy ako, masyado ba akong masaya?
Kenzie went on to do her skincare routine at ako naman sinimulan na ang activity para sa hindi napasukan na klase.
Matagal pa naman ang deadline, after the hackathon event pa pero ayaw ko namang matambakan kaya sisimulan ko na.
I'm a pretty productive person and I make the most out of my day. Kahit walang org event ay busy ako dahil kasama sa to do lists ko ang mga household chores. Madalang lang din naman na walang org event kaya I'm always occupied and full of schedule.
Tumayo ako at nag-stretch nang napatagal sa pag-gawa ng paper. I didn't notice that it's past 11PM already. Nakatulog nanga si Kenzie with a facial mask on.
Tinanggal ko muna ang mask ni Kenzie at tinapon yun bago bumalik sa table para mag-save at shutdown na.
Napatigil lang ako sa ginagawa ng mag-vibrate ang phone ko sa isang chat. Tatlo na pala ang messages doon at ngayon ko lang nakita.
From Caden, 11:30 PM
Hi, Pete and I are going to the convenience store to buy something
From Caden, 11:34 PM
Nasa lobby na kami, waiting for your approval
From Caden, 11:37 PM
Ayaw pala kaming palabasin ng guard without a guardian. Can you come with us?
Nanlaki ang mata ko at nagtipa agad ng reply.
Me, 11:37 PM
Slr. Sure, coming.
Dahan – dahan kong kinuha ang wallet at jacket ko na may print ng school namin then I quietly went out of the room.
Nasa elevator na ako nang maisip na ang bilis ko atang pumayag? I mean I could've said no to them and just tell them na bukas nalang dahil sobrang late na.
What could they want to buy so bad that they'd ask a favor from me at this moment? Paano kung natulog na pala ako at di na sila nareplayan, I wonder if they would sneak out or what?
Nang bumukas ang elevator ay nakita ko sila agad. Nagtatalo pa ang dalawa.
"Bumalik na tayo, baka nakaistorbo pa tayo." Pete said.
"She said anytime noong nagtanong ako." Caden shrugged.
Hindi na nadugtungan iyon ni Pete dahil nakarating na ako sa harapan nila.
"I'm sorry, Aly. Mabilis lang to, promise." Pete said apologetically.
"It's alright, may bibilhin din naman ako. Let's go?" I smiled and led the way.
Naisipan kong bumili nalang ng kape at cup noodles, nagising naman na din ang diwa ko dahil sa mensahe ni Caden kaya tatapusin ko na ang paper na ginagawa kanina.
When I went to the counter, nag-babayad na sila Caden. Napatingin ako sa mga pinamili nila at puro kape at snacks lang din iyon.
"Mabilis lang, as promised." Pete said.
