"Yaya... exact na ba yung look ko as yesterday?" I moved around.
"Oo Sydney... sakto na," Yaya glared at me. "Mag-agahan ka na muna."
I sat down on the table and I started eating. Bigla kong namiss si daddy at si Shay na rin. Nasa ibang bansa sila ni tita Helena ngayon. Pare-pareho kaming nagtatago.
Nasasaktan man ako dahil kahit kay tita Helena at Shay kailangan kong ilihim kung nasaan ako. Ayoko rin silang madamay pa sa sitwasyon kong ‘to.
"Sydney, kumain ka nang mabuti ha," paalala sa akin ni Mang Samuel.
"Busog na po ako," I smiled.
"Sige, ihahatid na kita," tumayo si Mang Samuel. May tricycle kasi siya kaya siya na ang naghahatid sa akin papasok ng university.
"Sige po, Ya alis na po kami," niyakap ko si Yaya Conchita.
"Mag-iingat kayo, lalo ka na Sydney," malambing na bilin nito sa akin.
I nodded at umalis na kami ni Mang Samuel. As I reached our campus, mabilis akong naglakad papasok. Ayoko ko rin kasi malate sa first class namin.
"Oh my gosh!" I yelled when I bumped someone.
Nabitawan ko ang mga bitbit kong libro. I quickly picked it all.
"You nerd, di ka ba tumitingin sa dinadaanan mo?" a lady shouted at me.
"S-Sorry po, malabo po kasi ang mga mata ko," I sounded apologetic.
"I don't care! May pa oh my gosh, oh my gosh ka pa," she planted a hand in her hip. "Uy! Yung oh my gosh! Bagay lang sa mga maganda, sa’yo di talaga bagay my goodness!"
"P-Pasensya na po kayo, di na po mauulit," I stuttered.
"Luhod, bilisan mo!" she yelled.
I was about to kneel when someone interrupted her. "What's happening here Ruby?" I heard a lady asked. She's in her mid-30's already. Si ma'am Naomi, professor ko sa Business Statistics.
"Wala po ma'am, may pinupulot lang po siya," alibied ni Ruby at mabilis siyang umalis.
Naiwan naman akong nakatulala. Luluhod talaga ako? OMG! Like who's she? But... but I have to act simple and weak here.
"Ms. Torres are you alright?" ma'am Naomi asked. She remembered me?
"Opo... thank you po," I bent down my head.
"Next time na awayin ka pa niya, just tell me okay?" she smiled. "Tara na sumabay ka na sa akin."
Ang bait niya naman. Thanks God she saved me.
Ma'am Naomi waved her hand as we reached my first class. She even smiled at sir Wilson.
I sat beside Faith but I took a deep sighed.
"Ayos ka lang ba? Anong nangyari?" Faith sounded worried.
I nodded at pabulong kong sinabi. "Mamaya, sasabihin ko sayo."

I was seating in one of the stone benches under the tree reading my favorite novel, when someone grabbed the book away from me.
"Sa wakas, nahanap din kita nerd!" someone loudly said. Si Ruby, kasama niya si Lixy. "Di pa ako tapos sayo, nobody bumped me that way!"
"P-pasesensya na po talaga kayo," I bent down my head.
"Di ko kailangan ng sorry mo, like duh! Kabago-bago mo dito ako pa talaga binangga mo?" she crossed her arms.
"Di di ko po talaga sinasadya," I pleaded.
