In Transit

Aftermath

As a President of the Engineering Student Council, Isabel needs to coordinate to the captain of the Engineering Basketball Team to have a friendly match with the faculty and staff for the upcoming Engineering week.

But much to her dismay, the captain is one of the people she does not want to cross path with.

How can I approach him?
Should I talk to him personally? No freaking way! I will have a car accident first before talking to him.

Yeah right! I can ask Therese. She is the External Vice President and one of her jobs is to help me. Hehe.

The tall woman checked the schedule of her officers. Upon checking, she freaked out since Therese decided to use her LOA for a while because she needs to focus on her thesis. She will have her defense next week, and Isabel can't disturb her subordinate for childish reasons.

Okay fine. I will text him. Grrr.

Buzz buzz.

Happy Birthday, Ferdinand!

Who's this?

Secret. Can I ask you something?

Wow. I have no time for this. Bye!

Wait. I'll just ask you if the team is available for the Engineering Week. We badly need you guys.

So much for introducing yourself, Isabel? 🤪

How do you know me?

Ma'am, if you're not aware, there is a search button in messenger and even in Facebook. I can type your phone number there and Mark Zuckerberg will do the finding. And for you, how did you get my number? 😉

Whatever. I got it from the database of the Student Council. Don't flatter yourself much.

Whatever floats your boat, stalker.  😉

Argh! Can we go back to the topic? I'm asking you if your available?

I'm available anytime for you, Ma'am. Is it a date then? 😉

I'm not asking you for a date! God you're so hard to talk to. BASKETBALL! K???

Oh. So you want to play in Timezone with me? No worries. 😍

God. Please don't make this hard anymore. I'm talking bout the friendly game of the eng. faculty against the EMBT.

You really sure you don't want to date me? Hehe. It's engineering week so there will be no classes. The boys will be playing fore sure but.... 🤔

But what???

Getting impatient, Ms. De Leon? But in one condition.

What condition? I can talk to the boys if they need permission.

No! I don't want you to talk to the team. I want you to hang out with me.

Ugh. Fine. If this what makes you shut up.

4pm. Tomorrow. At fusebox. See you, darling! 😘

K

Keep in touch. 😘

As Isabel is dreading all afternoon, someone knocked at the ESC room.

"Hi Isabebe! How's the prep for engg week going?" The ever gorgeous Therese said while getting some documents for her research.

"Trey, you wouldn't believe this! Remember our plans regarding the friendly match of the faculty versus the EMBT? I talked to the captain and to my surprise it is Ferdinand! Argh can you be the one present later when he drop by? Please Trey. Promise, I will treat you anything you want. Please."

"Woah. You look so tensed. Wait, Ferdinand who?" Therese asked as she is trying to keep up with Bea who is now currently mumbling words.

"Ferdinand!!!"

It's like Therese solved her thesis defense when she remembered the Ferdinand that Beatriz is having crisis of.
"Oh! The Ferdinand who you ghosted after the quarantine period. He is the one you tagged me in Unsubtle Syota Searching, right? HAHAHAHAHA! This is so funny. I thought you know him as the captain and the boy next door of the Faculty of Engineering." Therese squealed.

"Stop laughing! This is not so funny. Hay so kakainis. If I know that this will happen, I wouldn't accept your invite in that stupid fb group!"

"As if it's me who wasted her time in talking until late night with that man! Wishing you all the best later, babe. Hahaha say hi to your BB for me." Therese teased as she went out of the room after printing some paper works.

So much for the engineering week. Beatriz thought while re-applying her lip balm and eye shadow while prepping up for later.
