15: Simplicity

The sound of the bell echoed around the school corridors indicating that we only had 5 minutes to get to our respective halls ready for the first lecture of the afternoon. The sound of lockers being shut reached my ears as everyone who has first lecture are now starting to walk towards their lecture halls.

Breyar, don't forget, 5pm on the dot tonight. Yves will be waiting for you so please, finish your school commitments on time.

Your change of clothes will be with me so you can change at your grandmama's place. I'll see you later sweetheart.

A week has already passed since the last time I spoke to Yves, and that was back when I came over to visit their company. Due to the result of our last encounter, I tried so hard to prevent our paths from crossing, primarily because I want to show him that I do respect his privacy and to prove I have understood that what I did was wrong. I'm not mad at him at all, I couldn't bring myself to be.

However, tonight, our paths are about to cross once again. Just thinking about the idea of me being in the same environment as Yves is making me tremble already. It felt so long since the last time I was in close proximity to him. As much as I'm excited to see Yves again, I can't help but feel paranoid and anxious.

It wasn't just any normal day today, today is the day Yves' grandmother will be celebrating her 80th birthday. And because she considers mom and I family, we couldn't be absent on her special day. The relatives that makes up the Guererro clan will obviously be present to celebrate along with Yves' parents and my mom. I will be travelling with Yves to grandmama's place because the adults will be leaving earlier than us.

For the obvious reasons that Yves and I are finishing at the same time today, they thought it would be a good idea for both of us travel in the same vehicle. At first, I agreed without question but now, thinking about it, I'm sure it's going to be an awkward 1 hour car ride.

My first lecture was about to start soon but I was still stood by my locker. I forced to dismiss my worries away as I placed the mint green box of tifanny & co inside to secure the gift. It was a good thing that the girls and I decided to visit the mall yesterday which allowed me to get a present of my own for grandmama.

B, Are you still by the lockers? Today's lecturer is Mrs. Vicente, hurry and get your ass here right now before she locks the door.

I snapped out of my of trail of thoughts after reading the message. Not Mrs. Vicente!

Out of all the lecturers, why her?!

Umalingangaw sa corridor ang napakalakas na tunog sa pagsara ko ng aking locker. Natataranta akong tumakbo papuntang Psychology department para makaabot sa lecture. Sa lahat ng mga senior professors sa department namin, si Mrs. Vicente ang pinaka tinatakutan ng lahat. Masyado kasi niyang pinagtutuonan nang pansin ang punctuality, lalong lalo na sa attendance. Kung merong number 1 advice na maibibigay ko para ma survive ang bagyong nangangalang Mrs Vicente, eh iyon ay ang gawin mo na ang lahat, para huwag maging late or absent sa klase niya.

Nakarating ako sa pasukan ng lecture kasabay ang second bell. Napansin ko ring nakaabang si Mrs. Vicente sa gitna ng pintuan, handang handa na sana itong isara.

"Congratulations for making it into my class, Miss Dasalla," Inangat niya ang tingin sa akin, "Though, I would have appreciated it if you were sat down by the time the second bell rang."

Dali dali akong tumungo sa pwesto katabi ni Lenn at umarap. Hindi pa nga nagsisimula ang araw, iniinis na ako ng lecturer namin, ganyan ata talaga kapag ang dami mong haters. Inilabas ko ang folder ko at hinintay na mag umpisa ang klase.
