The Imperfect Dream Catcher

Chapter 26

Clingy

"Ano daw sabi ni tito?" Tanong ni Josh kay Carl.

This better be a good news.

"The king's back." Carl smiled.

"We know." Carlo and Josh smirked.

Is this real? he's back. I'm dead.

"Best, are you ready to see him again?" Geegee whispered.

I don't know.

"Yes?" I said.

Marvin squeezed my hand. I chose him but why do I feel regretful? hayss ewan.

"Are you sure?" Tanong ni Marvin na lalong nagpakaba sa akin.

"It's been two years since nung nangyari, I'll be okay besides di ko naman kailangan maging ready about that." I explained. I chose Marvin not to be my boyfriend but to be my bestfriend.

"Sige na. go ahead guys. I need to go to my class." sabi ko din. Magkakahiwalay kami ng class, kasi mag kakaiba ang courses naming lahat.

"Hatid na kita." Marvin said.

"Hindi na. Malayo yung building nang sayo. I'll be okay from here. Sige na." I insisted.

"Sige bye." he kissed my cheek. it's a normal thing for us. No feelings.

"Bye." I waved.

"Gee, I'll see you at lunch ha." I smiled at her. siya lang kasi ang pinaka malapit sa department ko.

"Sure, sure." she smiled. Nauna na sila ni Carlo na naglakad at after eh naglakad na din ako palayo.

Di ko akalaing babalik pa daw yun dito. I wished him gone. Kaya ayun. he was.

*classroom*

"Goodmorning Class!" sabi nung old prof namin.

I took something different from our business sabi ko nga sa inyo I really don't like to handle our business kaya I took BS HRM. in real truth I tell you I want to manage hotel thingies.

"Im professor Stein Clark." pakilala niya. He was our old prof nung Freshmen palang kami.

"Introduce yourselves." he said.

We introduced ourselves.

"Wait there's one more, where's mr.Santillan?" he asked.

The door opened,"I'm here." he's panting. Nagulat ako. why is he here in this class? diba dapat managerial course ang kinuha niya?

"Hi, I'm Prince Drei Santillan." Pakilala niya.

He sat beside me.

"Hi." ngiti niya. I ignored him. natatakot akong pansinin siya. Tama si Geegee I'm not yet ready to see him.

"Class? who among you owns a company? kindly stand up." tanong ni prof Stein.

I stood up. at siya din tumayo.

"So, just the two of you ey. So tell me, why are you taking up this course instead a managerial course?" he asked.

"Sir, I really don't like to intervene in our business at matagal ko na pong dream na mag manage ng sarili kong hotel. I wasn't in for money here sir, I'm here for my dream.." I answered.

"It takes effort and money to build up your dream. Nice answer tho. Eh ikaw Mr.Santillan?" He smiled.

"I'm here for nothing sir. Just wanna finish an ordinary course that's all." he answered. First day palang pa bad shot na agad siya.

"Ordinary course? you are wrong. you should've taken fine arts instead." prof explained.

"I find this course the most ordinary sir. Sir fine arts is hard for me. Arts is not my forte sir." he kept on answering.

"Okay. as long as you're interested in my class you can stay but if not I suggest you drop my class and find another "ordinary" Course. okay mr. santillan?" prof emphasized ordinary.

"Okay sir."

Nasa tabi ako ng bintana. Parang halos nakatunganga lang ako dun kulang nalang ma stiff neck ako.

"Hi." he whispered.

I ignored him.

*bell ringsss*

Lunch na.

Akong nahuling lumabas ng classroom kasi, medyo natulala ako sa bintana.

Pag labas ko ng room may sumalubong sa akin, isang maptipunong lalaki, ang gwapo na niya ngayon, mas maputi, mas matangkad, at mas maayos tignan.

"Hi baby." sa ma lambing na tono.

I ignored him. Ayoko tong nangyayari masyado siyang nakakairita para sa akin.

He followed me and whispered in my ear."It's been two years. I miss you."

He's being clingy. I hate clingy guys. tapos parang di niya maalala lahat ng nangyari, eh halos para ngang walang nangyari eh.
