I am barely listening to the professor's teaching or should I say his life's story.
I turned my gaze at my seatmate, he is a transferee. He is quiet, and is obviously paying attention to what's been discussing infront.
"Hey, psst." I whispered but still enough for him to hear my voice.
He looked at me, raising his thick brows, as if he's asking me, what the hell do I want.
I'm being friendly, okay?
"Late kase ako kanina, di ako umabot sa introduce yourself." I whispered.
I moved my chair quietly towards him, which made him feel a little bit anxious.
Maybe this guy right here, thinks I'm a weirdo, well uh--sort of.
"So anong name mo?" I quietly asked him.
"Ms. Aguilar!" I stumbled after hearing my surname. I immediately move my chair inches away from him.
Oh, great. First day of class, I'm late, now I think my professor will kick me out of this room.
"Outside, please." He said pointing at the door while gritting his teeth.
I looked at my seatmate and he's not even looking at me, he's looking into space. He's obviously spacing out---
"Also you, Mr. Sarino." Oh his surname is Sarino?
It's obvious, magui.
I smiled sweetly at him, but he just ignored me.
Why did he do that? As far as I know, once I start talking to people they will immediately talked back. This guy right here, seems a new challenge.
"Hi, so you're Sarino? What's your full name? Why did you transfer? God, why are you walking so fast?"
I tried to catch up with him but my bag is giving me a hard time.
"Hey, where do you live? Why did you take medicine--oh."
I stopped when he put one airbod on his left ear. He put his hands into his pockets, while the other strap of his bag is falling onto his back.
I cant help to smile as I watch him walk towards the hall, I guess he's heading to the library.
I went to the Engineering's building to visit my friend. I know it's class time but I'm here roaming outside around the campus.
"Uhm, may I excuse, Ms. Fortes?" I politely asked the lady.
"Who's Ms. Fortes?" Wow, so hindi pa sila nag iintroduce yourself? Then why are they already holding some plates?
"Nyeta, parang nung tinawag moko, nakahinga ako ng maluwag. Biruin mo 'yon? Walang intro intro, magdrawing daw kami 'langya. Baka daw pang kinder kami at naliligaw lang sa college." She showered me with her rants as soon as she exit her room.
"Eh ikaw bakit ka nandito? Walang klase? Hindi kayo pinag venipuncture?" I rolled my eyes at her, first day of class mag gaganon na agad?
"Well, pinalabas ako. Isn't it obv--ouch!" I groaned when she pulled some strands of my hair, I stepped backwards, brushing my hair.
"Gaga ka, yari ka sa nanay mo." She warned me while pointing her finger at my face.
"Alam ko, and alam mo bang kaya ko nandito, tingin ko nakita ko na ang challenge ng buhay ko." I sway my hands in the air as I emphasized the word challenge.
