Space Between Us

Chapter 3 (White Hair)

Xyrill's POV

"So there is a high chance that this part would be taken out" turo ng isa sa mga senior namin. It's Friday and we have a scheduled group study with them. Sayang naman kung hindi ko pupuntahan to, tsaka para ready na rin.

"Excuse me!" Napatigil naman yung nagtuturo samin ng sumingit yung President ng association ng course namin.

"I just want to tell you guys that our University Trip is final and approved! Here is the date and schedule of the trip. And please cascade the information to everyone. Thank you!"

Kinuha naman nung senior namin yung papel na binigay nung president para tignan yung schedule.

"So we will be having our university trip next week in Batangas. May beach resort tayong tutuluyan dun and it's a 1 week trip" pagkatapos nyang basahin binigay nya sakin yung papel para na rin makita ko.

Ang haba rin pala ng university week na to. Buti na lang at napapayag nila ang mga dean para dito ah. Habang binabasa ko yung papel, may napansin naman ako.

"Bakit kasama yung Engineering Department? Akala ko ba yung kasama lang Business Administration and HR?" Tanong ko sa senior namin.

"Ah, 'di pa ata nasasabi sa inyong first year. We will be meeting the owner of the resort and they will be conducting a seminar for us while the Engineering Department will be studying the design, construction, and maintenance of the resort"

I scratch my head after hearing what our senior said.

"And since same place lang din ang kinuha ng Engineering Department, napagkasunduan na sabay na lang" basta ba di namin sila makikita okay na ako dun.

Syempre isang tao lang naman ang iniiwasan ko dun.

"Xyrill! Do you want me to help you in this question?" Bigla naman may sumulpot sa likod ko kaya napatingin ako.

"Emmy!" Napayakap naman ako kagad kay Emmy.

Meet Emma Roberts, a 3rd year Accountancy student. One of our senior. Hindi kami masyado nagkikita ngayon dahil busy sya sa OJT na nila.

"Hello Richie! Still looking pretty!" Napangiti naman si Richie ng marinig nya yung pambobola sa kanya ni Emma.

"Hay nako Ate Emma! Ngayon na nga lang ulit tayo nagkita nambobola ka kagad!"

"Don't be silly Richie, you're beautiful! That's why he likes you" napakunot naman ako sa sinabi ni Ate Emma, mukha namang hindi narinig ni Richie yung last na sinabi ni Emma. Sino may gusto kay Richie?

"So what are guys doing?" Tanong ni ate Emma dun sa nagtuturo samin.

"I was just discussing about the university trip"

"Oh." Bigla namang sumeryoso yung mukha ni ate Emma nang marinig nya yung sinabi ng classmate nya.

"This is serious" napakunot naman ang noo naming lahat ng marinig namin yung sinabi ni ate Emma. Bakit? Ano meron?

"What's the matter?" Tanong ng classmate nya na mukhang wala rin alam sa nangyayari.

"Omg guys! It's a beach! Of course we need to ready our swimsuit and our body! You know that we are not just gonna study there. We will also gonna have fun!" Sabi nya habang pumapalakpak pa. Matalino sana to kaso may pagka-adik din eh.

"Bwisit ka talaga Emma! Kala ko naman kung ano meron!" Nagtawanan naman kaming mga 1st year sa kanila.

Buti na lang at close kami sa mga senior namin. Syempre k-konti na nga lang kami, tsaka sila lang naman din matatanungan namin.
