"MA, PA. Alis na po ako." I shouted before I went out from the main door of our house.

"You haven't eaten your breakfast." Mama said.

"Hindi na po, malelate na po ako." I answered back and immediately walk to the jeepney station.

As usual mahaba na naman ang pila, buti nalang at may 10 minutes spare time pa ako, 15minutes lang naman ang biyahe.

"Coco!!" I heard someone who called me, familiar yung voice kaya liningon ko. He's Peter a highschool friend, not my ex or anything. We're just cool and comfortable with each other.

"Kuya!!" I said with a wide smile, at linapitan siya para sumingit sa pila niya. This is not the first time that I join him in the line. Minsan naman kasi siya rin ang sumisingit kapag ako naman ang nauunang pumila.

"Mga galawan mo talaga, kuya talaga huh?" Sabi niya at umiiling iling pa.

"Di ka na nasanay, I called you kuya for them to know na hindi kung sino sino lang ang pinapasingit mo. Mamaya magalit pa sila sakin." I reasoned out.

"Yeahyeah. Sabi ko nga." When we were still high school students napagkakamalan talaga kaming magkapatid, not that we really look a like, may anggulo kasi talagang magkahawig kami and our eyes looks the same.

Nakasakay na agad kami sa dumating na jeep, kaya nakabiyahe agad kami, thanks to him na maagang nakapila.

During the ride, we just talked about our intructors that are demanding and strict. Bulks of requirements and we also had the chance to talk about his lovelife. Ganon kasi ako kakulit.

"Para po!" He said in a loud voice when he noticed that the jeep is already in front of our university. When the jeepney stopped we already went out.

"Bye, ingats." Sabi ko nung naghiwalay na kami ng lalakaran, he taking up Mining Engineering kaya magkaiba kami ng building.

Upon entering the main gate of the campus, I saw a familiar bag with his usual black jansport bag.

I knew it was him, I also noticed that he's with someone. Louise Panayo. Almost everyone in the class including me, know that they are dating. Ang hindi ko lang talaga maintindihan ay yung fact na lumalandi pa si Kobe ng iba.

Louise is a smart and beautiful lady, I never had a conversation with her, but I heard that she is also a nice person. A dean's lister, a scholar. All in one package.

Mabagal silang naglalakad kaya mas pinili ko nalang mauna sakanila, as I passed by them I saw Kobe in my peripheral vision, he's smiling at her genuinely.

I don't know how to react, matutuwa ba ako kasi alam kong dapat pigilan yung sarili kong mahulog dahil alam kong may iba siya, malulungkot dahil landi lang lahat, or magagalit dahil ang landi niya? Masasaktan? Pero bakit gusto ko ba siya?

I just shrugged all the thought, masakit sa ulo mag-isip. Ang dami na ngang problema idadagdag ko pa yan. Just study well Coco.

"Good Morning Ganda!" I greeted Sheena in a lively manner as I saw her beside the door after ending a phone call. I love her humor and her wittiness that makes her beautiful in my eyes.

"Hi Beshy." She greeted with a smile at inakbayan ako, gawain nila yan, maliit kasi ako. Sinabayan niya narin akong maglakad paenter ng room.

"Ang ganda mo ngayon besh." She teased.

"Ngayon lang ba?" Pakikisabay ko sa trip niya.

"Ngayon lang eh." Pang-aasar niya.

I already sat on my chair, at pumunta na rin siya sa upuan niya. Pumasok na kasi yung instructor namin.
