"Gavin.."

Someone's calling my name. Am I dreaming?

Antok pa ako.

It was a female voice? I think I heard that voice before.

"Gavin?" tawag ulit ng tinig sa pangalan ko at naramdaman ko rin ang paghawak nito sa aking balikat.

I'm not dreaming.

Dahan-dahan akong nag-angat ng ulo at unti-unting nagmulat ng mga mata. Nakakasilaw ang liwanag.

Si Madison at ang kaniyang ngiti ang bumungad sa akin.

"Sorry, ginising kita.."

Hindi ako sumagot. Bagkus ay nag-umpisa akong kumilos at umusod ng bahagya para magkaroon siya ng space sa tabi ko.

She occupied the space and apologized again.

"Sorry talaga ginising kita."

Nakatingin siya sa akin na parang nag-aalala pa rin ngunit bigla niyang binawi.

Noon ko lang napagtanto na nandoon din nga pala ang mga kaibigan namin.

Nakakapagtatakang lahat sila ay nagsipag-iwas ng tingin. Bigla silang nagsipagtalikuran na nag-umpisa ng usapan.

"What's their problem?" I asked.

Nagkibit balikat ito na parang naguguluhan rin sa mga kaibigan namin.

"Naistorbo ko ba ang tulog mo?" she asked.

"Nope." maikli kong tugon.

She still smiling.

"Let's start." sabi ko nang wala na akong maisip na pag-uusapan pa namin. Inabot ko na ang laptop ko.

Ginaya rin nito ang ginawa ko.

Our meeting today was a wrapped. We get to finished our Chapter 1, on going revisions and editing on our Chapter 2 and our survey questionnaire. It will be passed to our professor for checking. Then we will conduct our survey next Saturday.

I've never felt this kind of achievement when it comes to studies. I never exert much effort with my studies. I guess, this would be the first.

Good thing about working with Madison, she's not a pushy type of person. When she sees that I am kinda bored with our project she will immediately say that we can take minutes of break or we can continue our project next meeting.

She's explains a lot in a nice and calm way and helps everyone as well.

"Seryoso kayo diyan ah!' sabi ni Reed.

"Oo nga. Bukas niyo na ituloy 'yan. Alis na tayo!" sabi naman ni Arkin.

I didn't notice the time. It's already 6 o'clock. May gig kami ng 7:30 p.m.

Kailangan ko pang umuwi para kuhanin ang gitara ko.

Hindi ko dinala kasi I didn't expect her to be here today. So I anticipated that I am going home by 5 o'clock and get ready for the set tonight.

Hindi bale, malapit lang naman sa condo ang The Lab.

"You'll go with us, crush?" tanong ni Arkin kay Madison.

He keeps on calling her that. But I don't think he has a crush on her.

I'm wondering why.

" Yeah, sure!" sagot naman nito.

"Pack up!" sambit ni Evan at tinapik pa ako sa balikat.

She started shutting down her laptop and I do the same.
