Nakaupo ako sa bangko malapit sa bukas na pinto ng room namin. It's break time, pinagmamasdan ko ang mga estudyanteng naglalakad back and forth sa hallway. My friends are out, hindi ako sumama dahil busog pa naman ako at mainit sa labas. I better stay here and wait for them, malamig rin kasi dito.
Dumaan si Mayca sa hallway, she give me a wave before she pass. I raise my hand to wave at her but a tall figure block my vision. Tiningala ko ang taong iyon and to my suprise, napamura ako ng mahina. Cloud is standing infront of me, looking at me and my hand. Ibinababa ko na ang kamay ko at awkward na ngumiti sa kanya. Tumalikod ako, what was that? Baka akalain niya I'm waving at him. It's for Mayca.
"Tara na Shan. They're waiting outside." Nakita kong tumayo si Charisse at naghanda ng umalis. Napatingin pa siya sa akin, "Jasha, asan sila?" She's referring to my friends. Itinuro ko yong pinto ng walang lingon lingon. Tumingin siya doon, "Ah. Want to join us?" She smile at me.
Umiling ako, "'Wag na Cha. I'm fine." Nginitian ko rin siya kahit na kumakabog pa rin ang dibdib ko.
"Alright. Shanelle come on." Inakit niya si Shanelle na nasa likod ko lang pala, umalis na sila. Nilingon ko ulit ang pinto, nakahinga ako ng maayos ng makitang wala na siya doon. What an awkward scene.
