Misadventures

Chapter 1

I turned off my alarm clock and hurried to the bathroom because again, I'd be late at school. I should've been at school at exactly nine 'o clock in the morning. It was already eight fifty-five in the morning and I was just getting ready. I lived alone my parents worked overseas, my sister rarely went here to visit me because she always had an hectic schedule. But I was okay with it, I got used to it. At least they were providing my needs, and wants. I studied in the University in the East Manila, a school wherein specializes in dentistry and accountancy. But neither of those two are my course, I am taking up Marketing Management in the university. If you are gonna ask me why did I take up this course, well even I do not know why did I choose this one.

I put on my uniform and hurried to get my bicycle because it is already nine twenty and I am still at my house, Lucy would be mad at me for sure, because I had all the materials needed for our first subject. I rode my bike and pedaled as hard and fast as I can in order to get to school at nine thirty. The air felt nice, it is not polluted. There were a lot of trees around, there was no traffic. You wouldn't believe that you are still in the city. I am getting nervous of what was going to happen in our entrep venture, I heard that we would be merge into other groups, most of them were taking financial management. I arrived in the university, parked my bike in the parking space provided and rushed to our classroom.

"I'm sorry I'm late, again." I blurted out in front of everyone, they were all looking at me. It was giving me anxiety. "Anyway, here are the ingredients for our product, which is the pastillas. I am sorry I came here late. I overslept." I told them I hope they wouldn't stare at me like that again, it was really giving me an anxiety.

Lucy just stared at me blankly and told me to prepare the ingredients so we could start right away, Lucy was my blockmate for almost 3 semesters she was very kind and a bit of lazy when it comes to academics but she was really reliable and responsible. Well, she had an attitude but I didn't care about it. I was just here in order to pass this troublesome subject. I prepared the ingredients that would be needing in making of our healthy pastillas.

"are we the only group here? Where are the others?" Oliver asked, out of nowhere. Now that he mentioned it, it was true that we were the only ones here. What happened to other groups, anyway?

"The other groups are still doing their prep work I think some of them would start next week. The official start of this subject naman is really next week. It's just that we are just very hardworking" Lucy explained to all of us. So we really had the advantage to sell more units of this product. Nakakatamad talaga promise tong ganto, gagawa kami ng pastillas tapos ibebenta naming. Couldn't I graduate without doing this?

"Let me help you." A guy from my left side said. He was a tall man with tan skin, he had crooked teeth. He looked nice despite of his appearance. What should I do? Should I decline him? Well, I should decline him because Xian would be mad at him if I told him a guy lent me a hand.

"No, thank you. I can do this on my own. Just focus to your assigned task. By the way, what's your name?" why did I ask for his name? it was not really relevant to know his name, maybe he would think of me as a creep. I hope not.

"Ethan, My name's Ethan." He told me, he smiled at me and continued to his task. Ethan, what a cool name. But that was not the right time to be impressed I could sense Lucy was looking at us and any minute now she would be mad at us for slacking off.

Today's class ended and it was very tiring, I wanted to go home and take a long and nice bad and procrastinate for a while. Yes, I love to procrastinate a lot, like talking to my boyfriend, watch my favorite series while eating. But I what I love the most is sleeping. I am a very sleepy person but it's okay the people around still love me although I spend most of my time sleeping.

"Bes, una na ko pauwi ha." Nilingon ko ang nagsalita na si Selena, she is my friend and my only companion for this semester, because my friends took summer class, last month and I didn't like of idea being through in summer. Anyway, I am a very talkative person so you have to bear with me a little okay?

"Oh, sure bes! Ingat ka pauwi." I smiled at Selena and we walked in separate ways. Maybe I should message him on how my day went. I pulled my phone in my pocket and went to messenger and I started typing these words: "Hello baby, I am going home na. This day is really tiring and I want to sleep already. Make sure to reply don't use your phone too much. It's bad for your eyes." And I hit the send button. It will take a while for him to reply because I am 100% sure that he is playing his favorite game.

I kept on walking until I have reached the dorm that I am currently staying at. I greeted our lady guard. Hay ate Rogie is always nice. However, there are people here in this dorm who doesn't seem to like him. But anyway, I don't care about them.

"I will be at my room for now, I am kinda tired." I said to Chelsea and went straight for my room. I didn't feel like talking to her because I am really tired because we made lots of pastillas. Maybe I should talk to him now, I am not really sleepy naman e. I took out my phone and went straight to messenger to see if he has replied to my message.

"I see, still no reply huh." I sighed in disbelief. I know games are fun but what about me? Well, whatever. I'm pretty sure he would reply when the time comes.

"Maybe, I will just take a nap." I said to myself and fell asleep without ease. I've been having dreams lately, but I haven't slept properly for a month, but now, I am really tired and I need to rest or else, I won't have a stamina tomorrow.

I heard the notification tone of messenger, I immediately reached for my phone. It was him. The love of my life. Finally he has replied to my message.

"I just finished my game. How are you?" this was his reply. Kinda disappointing but, it's alright and importante nakapagreply sya sa mensahe ko.

"Hello, baby I fell asleep. I'm fine today's kinda tiring but I'm alright." I hit the send button and waited for his reply, but he was not active. Maybe, something happened to his game. For now, I will just read the book that I am currently reading while waiting for his reply. If you are asking about the person that I've been chatting to, well, obviously he's my boyfriend his name is Xian, he doesn't have a work for now, because he's busy with his game. But, it's fine as long as he's having fun. We've been together for three years already, a lot of happened to us during those years but I could tell that we are doing good compared to other couples out there. He was a very nice person, he is not really attractive but I am deeply attracted to him.

***

So, I was currently reading Landline by Rainbow Rowell, this one is a contemporary story, it's actually good and very gripping tapos it talks about a failing relationship. Well, my relationship with Xian almost failed kasi he cheated on me before, but I have forgiven him already. But the trauma was still there. Well, anyway this book has nothing to do with our relationship that was in the past and I am ready to conquer everything with him by my side. I heard the messenger notification and I reached for my phone to check who messaged me, maybe it was Xian I hope so.

"Bes padala ng gatas tomorrow ha. –Lucy." Ah, it was Lucy lang pala. Well, I guess I have to prepare for the milk tomorrow.

"Sure, no problem. –Gwen." I typed these words and hit the send button. I need to prepare for tomorrow's ingredients or else, Lucy would be mad at me again. Anyway, a long day ahead indeed for us.
