Sa totoo lang, mababaliw na ata ako. I tried looking pretty today pero epic fail, ang bad trip. I woke up late and ended wearing my jeans and thr robotics team shirt along with my teammates. Di ako makatulog habang iniisip ang mga mangyayari pag nakasal na… siya.

Ang malas ng araw na ‘to. Muntik pa akong magkaticket dahil beating the red light ako. Kaasar naman kasi bakit late ako nakatulog kahit dalawang sleeping pills na ang ininom ko.

I can see the school gate open for outsiders at ang malaking banner for ‘Happy 105th foundation day’ ng University.

Masyadong masaya ang mga tao sa paligid while I am feeling drastic here. My heart is  aching and if ever I see him, lalo lang akong mababaliw.

Reckless driver ako ngayon at latecomer pa, buti na lang mas maaga ang call time namin sa usual kaya mas okay pa din.

“Jason, I’m so sorry. I woke up really late and my head’s pretty messed… up.” The he just smile and tapped me on the shoulder.

“Okay lang, that’s what falling in love entails.” Oh sh*t, manghuhula ba ‘tong gago na ‘to? Sarap batukan eh bad mood pa naman ako. Kaasar.

“No… I played xbox with my brothers and my head’s pounding…. Kasi I slept late. Sorry talaga.” Then he gave me thumbs up and led me to the room where we check all the modifications.

Grabe, ang daming mangyayari ngayon.

Required kaming manuod ng Mr. and Ms. St. Maximillian mamayang alas siete at aattend pa ako ng exhibition game against sa former volleyball team na alumni last five years ago. Sh*t lang ang daming gagawin.

Whew. I need a drink.

“Jason, bili lang ako ng kape. I feel a bit sleepy kasi. I’ll be back in a while.” Then I winked at him and he just smiled.

People are busy and the University has more people today preparing stuff for the booths and for the fod fair that will be led by the Culinary Arts students and by the HRM students. Isa pa sa inaabangan ng mga tao ang magaganap ng 10PM, ang last dance.

Ang last dance ay ginaganap sa school quadrangle and lahat ng mga babae ay nakasuot ng blindfolds while pipili ang guys ng gusto nilang makasayaw. Ang walang kasayaw na lalaki ay may punishment, while those girls without a partner is required to tell who’s her University crush.

Stupid right?

Hindi ako naeexcite sa ‘last dance’ na yan kasi… ah basta wala!

Ang haba ng pila sa coffee shop. Magkakasama ang magjowa from other schools. Grabe, lalanggamin na sila. Kaasar, at dito ba magPDA?!

Then a guy stared at me. Who the f*ck is he?

“Oh my god. You are Althea Falcon! Idol mo ako.” Then he offered his hand for a handshake and I shhok his hand. Ang weird niya!

“H-ha?! Idol?! Saan mo naman ako naging idol eh wala naman akong talent.” Then he moved closer.

“Idol ko yung genius mind mo and of course, your beautiful figure! Ang galling-galing mo magvolleyball promise! Pinapanood lang kita kasama nung kuya ko sa condo niya.” The he smiled.

“Ano nga palang course mo?”

“I don’t study here, my cousin was when he’s in elementary.” So that’s why he’s here.

“Ah, well enjoy the rest of the day. I need to get my coffee.” I just grimly SAID.

Wala ako sa mood ngayon, pakiramdam ko nababasag ako ngayon. One-sided love man ‘to, love pa rin eh. Minsan nga iniisip ko kung paano ako nagkagusto sa taong pag-aari na ng iba. Di ko na naiintindihan ang sarili ko.
