Tinitingnan ko ang orasan. Gusto ko ng mag-recess. Aside from I'm hungry, I wanted to read the reply in the book. Last na rin naman. Since, I'll be very busy next week. Baka kukunin ko na rin ang kopya mula sa Bookroom at 'yun na 'yung gagamitin kung libro para sa susunod na mga klase.

Alright, Mory. Three more minutes and you're done.

I've been looking at the clock's seconds hand. Wondering when all of this will come to an end. I groaned internally. Bakit parang napakatagal ng tatlong minuto ngayon? Ganito ba talaga? When you want something to end so fast, the time wouldn't cooperate with you. It feels longer than how should it be. Then, when you want something to last, that's when time passes so quickly.

I non-chalantly shrugged. The world and how it goes. So contradicting.

Finally!

I rejoiced silently.

After the Filipino class, I quickly gathered all my things. Plano kong basahin 'yung reply tapos bumili na lang ng pagkain pagkatapos. Nang malapit na akong lumabas ng pinto, I heard Rax calling me.

Out of respect, I faced her.

Of course.

But this time, she's with Edson and Chade together with their other friend. I thought na na naiinis siya kay Chade? Why would she go with them, then?

"Mory, nakalimutan ko pala silang ipakilala kanina since malapit na magsimula ang class 'nun. So, I thought now's the perfect time to introduce them," she started.

"Ito pala si Chester Dane Ladrillono or Chade." She then put her lips near my ears. "You remember the jerk na nakita ko sa mall kahapon, the one who ruined my date? That's him."

"Bato, kahit bumubulong ka diyan, useless lang. Naririnig pa rin." Chade smirked at Rax.

"Ugh! You're so annoying talaga! My name's Rax, okay? It's spelled as R-A-X not R-O-C-K-S, kaya hindi ibig sabihin 'nun na bato iyon." She rolled her eyes.

I remained silent. What's the point of all of these? Hindi ko talaga alam. Sabi, in college, you'll be seatmates and blockmates with people and even after the end of the semester, hindi mo pa rin alam ang mga pangalan nila. I agree though. Hindi naman lahat ng tao importante sa buhay mo kaya 'di rin lahat kailangan kilalanin mo.

"This one's Yuhan Joseph Agustin. He's nicer compared to that ugly Chade."

"Hindi mo lang talaga maamin na gusto mo ako, Bato. Huwag kang mag-aalala handa akong mahintay."

"Whatever."

"Just call me Yusseff. I'm more comfortable with that."

He then simply nod his head.

Not bad. This guy right here has manners. Inside the classroom, I barely hear him talk. He's quite different when he's with his friends, then? I nooded at my observation. I looked at him. His hair is in a clean cut style. Mas Filipino rin ang mukha though matangos ang ilong niya and mapula ang mga labi. Moreno ang balat. Matangkad din kumpara sa ibang kasabayan.

"I'm Morrison. Morrison Audrey Flores," I answered

Then, dumako ang tingin ko sa katabi niya. The ass Edson is standing there wearing that smug smile of his.

"Finally, Mory. This one's Edward Jackson San Francisco. Aside kay Andrew. Crush ko rin to but don't worry harmless crush naman so pwede pa rin kayo." I disgustingly looked at the guy she's talking about.
