"Am I cute?" he said, I creased my forehead what does he mean?.

"Joke. Haha" He smiled, then hand me the textbooks.

"Here"  Napatingin ako don saka ko kinuha.

Siya ba talaga yung nakita ko na nakikipag makeout, Or does he have dual personality?, out of the blue biglang nag bago yung mood niya, tska naka braces na pala siya, last time wala pa yun, Isa pa sa napansin ko sa kanya habang nakatingin ako sa kanya hindi mo maiisip na kaya niya gawin yun. Well it's his choice,

He check his phone, before he put it in the table.

"Do you know me?" Tanong niya, medyo napansin niya siguro na kanina pako nakatingin sa kanya well. Kasi naman nakaka awkward na makita siya. Ilan taon na ba siya? 14? 15? 16? Ang weird kasi na he can do such things specially in public places. 

"Yeah, you're the guy who's making out in public" I blink my eyes when i realized what i said, what the hell!.

Did I really said that.

"what? Making out?" he said, medyo sumingkit yung mata nang medyo kumunot yung noo niya.

Dahil huli na din para bawiin ko yung sinabi ko kaya pinanindigan ko na.

"Yeah, i saw niyo day's ago making out in public with your girlfriend"

"Did he what??" napalingon ako sa gilid, sila bryle at teron pala.

San kaya sila galing nawala sila bigla e. Obviously nakaka awkward talaga. We aren't that close pero nandito ako nakikipag usap sa kanila about making out.

"Are you making out bro?" natatawang sabi ni teron saka siya inakbayan. Biglang natawa si Andrew "No i didn't" he said.

What?? Tinatanggi niya ba?

"You cheat bro" bryle ask.

"No," sagot ni Andrew.

Tumingin sakin yung Andrew.
"Are you serious?"

"Yes, I'm serious i saw you making out in the mall last time with your girlfriend then the next day I was exactly meeting you too again in the Starbucks for your book's" medyo nakakainis na kasi parang nagiging sinungaling tuloy ako, lahat kasi nang sinasabi ko tinatanggi niya.

"Don't ask me if itatang-" mag sasalita pa sana ako pero, nalipat yung tingin ko nang biglang may pumasok.

"What's up"

And that moment I was literally in schoked, what the fucking hell! I saw two Andrew's?

"Anthony dito kana pala" teron said.

Anthony? Andrew??

The hell happening right now. Nakaka gago.

****

I was so embarrassed. Kaya nang makauwi ako sa bahay hindi agad ako naka move on, so they are twins and that Anthony guy was the guy i saw making out and the other one was his twin brother.

"What's happening? Tanong nung guy na kadadating lang.

Actually medyo nalilito ako sa nangyayari ngayon. Nang napatingin sakin yung tinawag nilang Anthony bigla niya ko tinuro.

"Its you again"

Nag ka tinginan sila brylle at teron, i know they confused too. Dahil maski ako nalilito sa nangyayari ngayon.

"Again" sabay na sabi nila teron at brylle.

Napatingin ako sa kausap ko na guy kanina.  he was sitting now while sipping his bottle of drink.  Wala ba siyang pakielam sa nagyayari ngayon, he was holding his phone now maybe he was chatting someone. Napaiwas lang ako nung umangat na yung ulo niya.

"Yeah! He give me back my book's few days ago, why?" sagot nito.

"Oh wait did you give my textbook drew?" tanong niya sa guy na kausap ko kanina, then the guy nod. That guy was looking at me now.

"may sinasabi kasi siya kanina about sa mak-" i didn't let teron finish his word dahil nakakahiya na.

"Uhm mauuna nako, yung textbooks lang talaga yung kailangan ko tska may gagawin pa kasi ako." sabi ko saka nag mamadaling umalis.

Buong gabi halos ayon ang nasa isip ko, kaya pag dating nang umaga inaantok na pumunta ako sa University para dalin yung textbooks may klase kasi si sir ngayon although mag ba bakasyon na pero dahil may mga students padin na kailangan humabol nang grades kaya nag ka klase siya.

"Goodmorning sir" bati ko nang makapasok sa loob, "Pakilagay nalang sa table ko" sabi nito. Saglit na may tinignan siya sa cellphone bago nag angat nang tingin sakin.

"Ms. Arevallo after this you don't need to get the text book's again, nakausap ko yung student ko and sinabi na aalis na they will going back to U.S"

Bigla naman ako kinabahan how about my grades. Baka ibagsak ako. Bakit parang napakabilis naman yata, parang inutusan lang ako tapos okay na. Sobrang di ko inaasahan yung nangyari hanggang sa na paranoid nako sa dami nang pumapasok sa isip ko. Naputol lang nang mag salita si sir.

"And for your grades, no need to worry you will be graduate" thank god. Nabuhayan ako don.

"Thank you sir"

Im so lucky, i don't expect that this will be easy.

***

I'm so happy knowing na hindi ko na kailangan bumalik sa bahay na yun para kunin lang yung text book and 100% sure pa nag mag ma marching ako this month.

This feeling is so worth it after 4yrs of learning I'am totally a degree holder. Sobrang proud ako sa sarili ko, i still remember when I was in highschool I always felt being a nobody in our section i don't even have a friend, and kung meron man maging kaibigan it will last long 3days, Ganon naman sila kaibigan ka pag may kailangan then after makuha they will leave you.

Kaya natuto nako na hindi ko kailangan nang kaibigan kung hindi naman kaibigan ang tingin sayo, kaya nung nag college nako hindi nako nahirapan mag adjust. You just need to be Independent, that's all.

On the way ako sa café nang maisipan ko tawagan sila mommy and daddy I will ask them kung kelan talaga yung exactly na date nang pag uwi nila, ayaw pa kasi sabihin, alam ko na alam ni kuya kung kelan, pero alam ko din na wala siyang balak sabihin sakin, as if naman na mag tatanong ako sa kanya, di naman kami good terms ngayon, kaya sa parents ko nalang baka sabihin nila.

I try to get my phone in my bag kaso hindi ko lang makuha nasa bandang ilalim kaya nang mapadaan ako sa mga benches naupo muna ako. I put all my things out dahil hindi ko makita yung phone ko, buong araw ako hindi nag phone and I'm sure wala yun sa bahay.

Hindi kaya na misplace ko lang, pero impossible kasi kagabi pako last na humawak nang phon-wait! Kagabi, it means.

"shit!" sabi ko nang maalala na doon sa bahay nayon naiwan yung cellphone ko dahil nag madali ako umalis.
