Chapter 2 – My favorite Person

"Mr. Calma" biglang tawag ng professor namin sa katabi ko.

He looked at our professor, then scratch the back of his head.

"Tell me, what do you think about the works of Rizal?" Our professor asked.

Sinisiko na ako ng katabi kong lalaki, hindi ako tumitingin sakanya, I don't even know why, buti na lang bilang may nagraise ng hand, kaya yung taong yun yung tinawag. My blockmate said something, I'm not paying attention though.

"Sit down Mr. Calma, next time wag kang chumichika lang diyan" our professor angrily said.

He got back on his sit and whispered something.

"Sabi ko sayo tulong" he said

I bow my head a little and tilted it to reach for his ears to whisper something.

"Wala akong alam, di nga ako nakikinig" sabi ko.

"Tss" umiling-iling siya.

"That's it for now, don't forget your quiz next meeting, you may go" sabay sabay tumayo yung mga blockmates namin to fix their things at lumabas ng classroom.

My seatmate grab my wrist while I fix my things.

"Tara kain" he said without any emotions sa tone ng boses niya

"San?" I asked while smiling, binatawan na din niya yung wrist ko.

"Diyan Tempura House, tabi ng gym"

"Tara"

We walked together, habang naglalakad kami parang nagfefade lahat ng surroundings, naririnig ko yung alarm ko, alarm? Alarm ko yun.

I opened my eyes from a dream.

Puro na lang panaginip.

I switched off my alarm, get up. It's Sunday today, and still I have to attend a conference. Late na ako, 8 am start ng conference. I took a bath and get ready. I'm living alone now here sa Pad ko. Ako lang, small Pad lang naman siya, hindi naman ganun kalaki, tama lang for single like me.

I wore my spaghetti black blouse and high waisted black slacks with my black high heels. I curled my hair, para lang presentable and put on lip and cheek tint, got my bag and my white coat.

I wink at my full-length mirror before closing the door of my Pad.

As I walk towards the elevator, I saw a familiar face, yung, seatmate ko!!!

"JP?" I shouted while running towards the elevator.

His eyes widened and stared at me.

Loading. Buffering.

He then speak.

"PM? Stalker ka?"

I laughed sarcastically.

"Tanga? Haha dito ako nakatira! Baka ikaw?" pag-iirap ko.

"Hindi ah, what? Kailan pa?" He said surprisingly.

"Kaka move in ko lang nung isang linggo, ikaw?"

"Kahapon"

The elevator opened and we entered together.

"Ah, see you around neighbor? Parang college internship lang ah?" I smiled at him

Nasamid ata siya sa sarili niyang laway

"Huh? Mm haha oo nga"

The elevator opened sa basement parking.

"I'll get going na!"
