Chapter 5
In recent days I have been drowning in the idea of Melody is waiting for me. The night didn't come without it popping into my mind. Her system had swallowed me up. At school I was always imbecile, sometimes my bestfriend was catching me in that kind of state.
"Bro! Who would have thought that a girl who's running for Magna Cum Laude is crushing on me?"
I heard what Lance said but I am not up with this sort of story. I'm still sleepy as fuck 'cause I didn't get enough sleep last night, again. Wala namang bago actually. Everynight bago ako matulog ay sumasagi sa isipan ko ang mga huli niyang binaggit and then right after eh hindi na naman ako makakatulog. I always fucked up everynight that tends me to go in school without enough energy that I needed to consume for the whole day.
"Friday, I'll wait for you Troye."
I don't even know why I can't forget these group of words?! I am not usually like this! But—she's making me crazy every each of day thinking about her last words.
"Troye? Are you listening?" Lance asked me out of nowhere. "Tulala ka na naman man! Ano ba yang iniisip mo at baka makatulong ako!"
I know Lance can really help with what I am thinking right now but I know him well, maybe he'll just laugh at me when he find out that I'm in trouble with a girl. He is known for being the charismatic Lance Gregor. He didn't chased girls, girls crawl for him instead. So yeah! Hindi na lang ako magkukwento sakaniya so I would never get teased.
"I am listening Lance! I am just tired and sleepy!" As I laid my head on our table to show him how sleepy I am.
"Could you please keep your mouth shut for a moment Lance? I just really need to think—""Think of what?" Pampuputol nito sa sasabihin ko. "Nakakapantampo ka na bro! Hindi ka na nagkukwento sa'kin!" And then he pouted his mouth and put his palm on his cheeks. Well, he doesn't look like a crying baby for me! He does looked like an idiot guy.
"Ang drama mo! Magkukwento ako sayo next time! pero as of now, I need to sure everything first. Aren't you have a class?" Pagiiba ko nang usapan.
Agad naman siyang umalis nang hindi sinagot ang tanong ko. Maybe he's really late in their class and he also have this strict profesor.
At times I was not in the right frame of mind, hanggang ngayon kase eh iniisip ko pa rin ang mga huli niyang sinabi. I am longing for her words, I want to assumed but I also don't want ended up shreding in tears.
Makailang beses din akong nahuling tulala ng profesor ko kanina. She even scolded me for being unattentive student in her class which is kinda aud 'cause she knew me very well, lagi akong active sa klase niya.
"Mr. Almonte! These past few days ay napapansin ko ang madalas mong pagkabalisa? are you okay?" As my Profesor in last subject started the drama. "You've changed Mr. Almonte! And I hated it!"
I hate myself too Ma'am! but I didn't tell it in class. Gusto ko sanang sabihin 'yan kanina kaso baka maguidance pa ko nang wala sa oras.
Last subject na din pa naman, after nito eh magbibihis lang ako saglit and then didiretso na agad sa bar 'cause there's someone waiting for me."Ahmmm Troye?"
I set my eyes on the voice of my back and then I saw Hannah standing in front of me. He looked so tensed actually. "Ano 'yon Hannah?" I said.
"Ahmmm yung napagusapan natin na tutulungan mo ko sa project natin sa Contemporary Music. Ngayon kase yung napagusapan nating araw, but I guess you already forget about it." And then she bow her head to hide what she is feelin' right now.
