Tin's POV
Hay, Trisem is so life. Classes are back nanaman and worst.. May evening classes pa ko!
"Huy.. Tin! Yung phone mo kanina pa tumutunog."
I absentmindedly answered my phone without even looking at the caller ID.
"Hello Tin?"
Halos mahulog ko na yung phone ko when I heard his voice. Totoo ba 'to?
"Tin? Uhm, si Drei to."
"Uh, yes? Drei? Bakit?" I tried to sound cool pero ewan ko ba if I succeed. Bahala na.
"Are you free to talk? Wala ka bang class today?"
Hala. Bakit parang very serious naman tong pag-uusapan namin?
"Meron. Pero wala yung prof ko. So, it's okay to talk."
I went out of our classroom muna to talk properly with him.
"Ano kasi.. Uhm, your dad called me."
"WHAT? WHAT DID HE SAY?"
I heard him chuckled. "Relax. Wala siyang sinabing masama."
I tried being calm. "What did he say?"
"You have 8-10 PM classes this sem, diba? Mondays and Wednesdays." I nodded as if he's seeing me. "And tito became so worried so he asked me to accompany you until makarating ka sa dorm niyo."
"WHAT? Akala ko ba wala siyang sinabing masama?" halos maiyak-iyak ko nang tanong. Nakakahiya naman kasi. Aabalahin pa ba namin ang isang Andrei Caracut? No way!
"I'm so sorry kay dad Drei, but you don't have to do this naman. Ako nang bahala kay dad."
"I insist Tin. Tama naman kasi si Tito, masyado nang gabi ang 10 PM for you to come home alone."
"But--"
"Don't worry. 8-10 PM rin naman yung night trainings namin so sakto lang din for me to go home at 10."
I sighed. "Are you sure?"
"I'm very sure, Tin."

"Drei!" I called him.
"Uy, Tin." she smiled.
"Kanina ka pa?"
"Hindi. Kakarating ko lang rin. Tara?"
"Tara."
At first, we were very awkward. No one wants to start the talk. Kung meron man, one question, one answer lang kami. But I'm comfortable with him so it doesn't matter.

"Dreiiii! Sorry natagalan ako! May tinapos lang ako."
He smiled. "It's okay. Natagalan rin naman kami sa training."
"Weh? Sabi ng blockmate ko, kanina ka pa jan."
Napakamot nalang siya sa batok niya. "Let's go?" I nodded.
