KAREN'S POV
2 weeks have passed. Derrick's still not talking to me. He hasn't phoned me ever since that fight. Is it my fault? I told him to leave me alone. Maybe I should call him? Maybe I shouldn't. I don't know. I miss him. But I'm still pissed at him. But I still love him, really. Oh, God. Give me a sign!
"Earth to Karen!" Sigaw ni Jessica. "Focus! Exam mo ngayon. Just. Let it out. Don't overthink. You'll be fine."
Papunta kami ngayon sa LPU Manila. Nakapasa ako sa PUP. Pero naubusan ako ng slot kasi di ako nakapagregister. Dapat si Derrick tumutulong sakin e. Ayan tuloy. Hay nako. Karen. Text mo kaya! Di mo malaan kung ano kayo e.
"KAREN! HUY! Tara na. Dito na tayo."
Pumasok kami tapos binigyan niya ko ng goodluck kiss at hug. Commute lang kami kasi gusto ko matuto magcommute.
After ng exam, tinext ko kagad si Ate.
To Ate Kristina
Tapos na exam namin. Wait nalang sa result.
After 2 minutes.. Nagreply siya kagad.
From Ate Kristina
Goodluck!
Okay naman kami ni Ate. Siguro kapag nakaenroll na ko, pwede na ko pumunta ng Baguio para hanapin yung birthparents ko.
"So? How was it?" Tanong kagad sakin ni Jessica.
"Okay lang?"
"Madali lang di ba? Makakapasa ka nyan!"
"Sana."
Nakapasa ako. Pero hindi ako masaya sa napili kong course. Accountancy. Pwede ba ibahin?
"Oo naman! Ibang course nalang yung sabihin mo kapag mag eenroll ka na. Sasamahan kita." Sabi ni Jessica.
"So? Gusto mo manood ng Divergent eh?" Pangungulit sakin ni Jessica.
"Not this time. I just want to go home."
"Karen. If you want to talk to Derrick, you should call him, or text him. Paramdam ka rin."
"Pero what if hindi niya na ko ibalik?"
Natahimik si Jessica.
"That's what I thought."
"Bes. Sa love, you have to take risks. You have to step up. Hindi pwedeng sa iisang level ka lang kasi walang patutunguhan yung relationship niyo. Gets mo?"
Umiling ako.
"If you can't handle rejection, why love in the first place?"
"You can't control it. It's like. . . Poof. Inlove ka na."
"You have a point."
"I always have a point."
"Well then call him."
"Why won't he? He's the guy. He should make the first move."
"Well? This isn't the first move. The first move is when he kissed you." Oh. God. Don't bring this up. I groan. "Okay. Okay. Well? It's not always the guy who needs to make the first move. What if he's waiting for you to call him?"
"Why will he wait? That's a girl thing. Guys don't wait."
"No. I mean. He might be afraid that if he'll call you, the two of you will fight again."
"Well? You said earlier that in love, you have to take risks."
"Ugh! I give up! Just call him, already! Tell him you miss him."
