Chapter 06

#PTG06 Chapter 06

I was officially sleep-deprived. I didn't know for sure, pero feeling ko talaga na nag-usap-usap lahat ng professor ko para magconduct ng quiz, e! I legit got only 3 hours of sleep per day! Nag-aalala na ako sa sarili ko. This wasn't healthy. I needed to go to my doctor para magpa-checkup. I couldn't risk getting sick in the middle of the semester.

"Katherine..."

I pulled the sheets higher so that I could cover my face. God, I needed to sleep some more! Kapag nagsimula na naman ang linggo, who knows kung gaano karami na naman ang tulog na makukuha ko? Nakaka-develop na nga ako ng fear of Facebook, e! Doon kasi pinopost iyong assignments namin. Para tuloy puro badnews kapag nagbubukas ako ng Facebook.

"What..." I groaned.

"Nandyan si Jax sa labas."

Automatic na bumukas ang mga mata ko sabay upo. "What?" I asked again. "Jax?"

Yaya nodded. "Oo. Pinapapasok ko nga pero ayaw bumababa at nagmamadali daw kayo."

My forehead creased. What the—

"Oh, my god!" sigaw ko habang tumalon pababa sa kama. Gosh! Ngayon nga pala iyong pagpunta namin sa Cavite to visit Joey! I totally forgot! I got so many things going on that it slipped my mind! Mabilis akong pumunta sa CR para maligo, but before I opened the shower, I ran, and told Yaya, "Ya, please papasukin niyo po si Jax. Tell him I'll be ready in 15 mins tops."

I hopped in the shower so freaking fast na muntik na akong madulas. I didn't even use conditioner sa sobrang pagmamadali! First time na susunduin ako ni Jax, so I didn't want na maghintay siya nang sobra! Ugh! Sabi na talaga isang hadlang talaga ang acads sa pagkakaroon ng lovelife, e!

After my shower, I just got the first thing my eyes saw. I wore a white shirt and denim shorts. I was using the blower while putting on blush and lip tint real quick.

"Hi," hinihingal na sabi ko nang makababa ako. My hair's still a bit damp, but that would do.

Napatigil si Jax sa pag-inom ng kape. "You said 7."

I bit my lower lip. "I know... I'm sorry..."

I knew I shouldn't have made him wait. Joey said na sobrang ayaw ni Jax ng late person. Kasi nagsasayang daw ng oras. And this was completely my fault. I knew nag-alarm na ako before pa for this, but I guessed I slept through it. Pagod na pagod na lang siguro talaga ako sa lahat ng nangyari this week.

"Tara na?" sabi ko kasi alam ko na nagmamadali siya—I mean kami. We need to go to Cavite to visit Joey, but syempre we need to go back pa. Today's Sunday. The only rest day. Bukas, back to regular programming na naman. Napapagod na agad ako iniisip ko pa lang.

"Eat first," he said.

Medyo umawang iyong labi ko. "Ha?" He pointed at the already prepared plate for me. There's garlic rice, eggs, and bacon! Oh, my god! Breakfast for real!

My mouth really watered, but I reminded myself na kailangan na naming pumunta sa Cavite para naman maka-balik agad kami. If ako nga na first year pa lang nalulunod na sa dami ng readings, what more pa si Jax? Mas kailangan naming maka-balik ng maaga for him.

"No," I said, shaking my head. "I'll just take a sandwich."

"Eat first," he repeated.

"But—" I was cut off. He raised his eyebrow a little, as if he was taunting me to go against him. I was shocked a bit. I didn't know Jax could be this... bossy. I felt like a little girl who was reprimanded.
