Fermin Series #2: Doubting Hearts (COMPLETE)

Chapter 1

The campus was busy. It's the first day of class and mostly ang ginagawa lang naman ng mga professors ay introduction. Minsan hindi pa pumapasok ang mga prof. Siguro karamihan sa mga nagliliwaliw ay nga freshman, pina-familiarize pa ang campus.

I rolled my eyes and sighed. I was staring at my schedule here in the lounge. How I wish I have can still have those free sched before. Not like my sched before was great - it's super shitty actually- it's just that, when you're in the lower years, there are less expectations and professors understand that you're still coping up with college. Pag tumuntong ka nang second year, ayun nagsimula na. Lalo naman pagka first year.

Ugh. Frustrating.

Ibinalik ko na lang ang schedule ko sa aking bag at sumandal sa likod ng couch.

Ang tagal naman kasi ng mga kaibigan ko. Wala ba silang vacant? Even Sky, my bestfriend, is not even here yet. A, ewan.

I kept on looking at my wristwatch and phone. I already texted them that I'm here in the lounge pero mukhang may mga ginagawa pa sila.

Bumuntong-hininga na lang ako.

I had no choice, but to scroll through my social media accounts.

I crossed my legs and rested my right arm on the armrest of the couch. Nakaganoon lang ako nang may biglang umupo sa solo couch na katabi ng kinauupuan ko. Nasa mahabang couch ako.

I was focused on my phone, so I really didn't got to see who it was. Wala rin naman akong pakialam. I continued scrolling my phone and almost groaned when our beadle chatted our group chat about our professor's assignment.

Seriously? Kasisimula pa lang ng sem!

Ugh.

Napairap ako sa inis. Sakto namang tumikhim ang nasa solo couch kaya nag-angat ako ng tingin.

And if it isn't Drago Antonio Legaspi. Kumunot ang noo ko at tiningnan ang likod niya pero siya lang ang nandoon.

How weird. This guy is never alone. It's either he's with his friends or with some flings.

The jerk smirked.

"You're Wayven right?" he asked. Tinaasan ko siya ng kilay.

He hissed. Hindi ko siya pinansin at ibinalik na lang ang tingin sa aking cellphone. The last thing that I'd ever want in this college life is to be associated with that fuckboy.

Halos mamatay matay iyong pinsan ko sa sobrang broken hearted dahil sa ginawa niya tapos siya, ayan pa happy happy lang at kung makapagpalit ng babae, parang nagpapalit lang ng brief.

Tss.

"I'm Naga's friend." I heard him say.

Hindi ako umimik. I was chatting my friends already.

Nasaan na ba kasi sila?

Nirakrak ko na ang group chat namin pero puro delivered lang. I sighed. Baka busy nga talaga ang mga iyon.

Saan na ako nito? I don't like to be with this brute but I don't know where to go rin actually.

I continued skimming through my twitter feed.

I heard a soft chuckle. Umirap ako. Nabaliw na yata.

"Hindi ka ba talaga namamansin?"

Agad na kumunot ang noo ko at nag-angat ng tingin. I pointed myself.

"You talking to me?" I asked. His forehead creased and laugh. Kumunot naman anf noo ko. The heck?

"Damn. Who else?" Naiiling siya. Umirap ako.
