Red String of Fate (Colours of Love #1)

Three

I've spent hours composing the 'thank you' message for Matthew. Feeling ko kasi, I would be very heartless if I don't show any gratitude. Well, I also want to know his intention for doing that. Hello? Hindi naman kami close tapos pahatid hatid pa siya. Gwapo ba siya? Oo naman. Char.

Reese Cruz: Ah kaya pala iniingatan niya kaninang pauwi yon hahahahahaha

Henley Fernandez: We asked him para kanino yon kasi he ordered one pa before leaving. He told us for his mom daw HAHAHAHAHAHA

Ellie Guevarra: Baka mom ng future kids niya hahahahaha. Hoy Thea!  Aayaw ka pa dun? Ganda ng genes sismars mapera pa hahahahahha

Althea Dela Cuesta: mga gaga kayo ano nga sasabihin ko? thank you nalang?

Henley Fernandez: why are u so conscious ba? lol just chat him.

Oo nga, bakit ba ang hirap composing a message. I think a simple thank you would do. I did not ask him to buy me milktea naman duh. I decided to chat him. 

Althea Dela Cuesta: Thank you :)

He's not online when I sent the message. So I checked the papers needed for tomorrow. I was also proof reading the spiel. I can't imagine my pagod for tomorrow. Wala pa man, I am already tired na. Shet.

I was distracted when my phone vibrated.

Matthew Aiden Garcia: No worries.

Ang ikli naman mareply nito. Nakakaloka. Before I can compose my reply, he sent me another message. 

Matthew Aiden Garcia: I know you're busy right now. Good luck tom. Goodnight, Thea.

Ay, lumelevel up na ba kami nito? First name basis na, may good night pa! He uses your and you're correctly. Plus points, 'yon, 'di ba? I care about these things so much kaya sabi ni Reese sa akin once, mahirap daw ako kausapin baka raw punahin ko ang grammar bago ang thought. Well, what is so wrong with that, diba? I can't imagine dating someone who does not know your  and you're or even basic subject-verb agreement lol.

Keep your standards high. Standards only scare the people who are not meant for you. Ganern, sismars!

The event was great! Ang katawan ko, hindi. The whole council decided to have an after party. We ate then had some pictures. I also commended them for a job well done! Good thing, they were all hands-on and responsible. Though, it was really tiring.

The whole day, hindi ko nakita ang mga babaita. I was just in the office and backstage. Assisting everyone and making sure everything was following the flow of the program. When I got home, I went straight to take a bath before sleeping. My whole body is just damn tired.

The next week, puro regular classes. Alaws pahinga, mga sizter! We also submitted chapters of our thesis to be checked by our teacher. She would return it with corrections and then we will revise it. Naging ganoon ang cycle ng buhay ko.

Contemporary Arts ang subject namin ngayon. He's discussing and I am not really paying attention. Eh paano naman kasi! For sure, he will just make us buy something for the next project. Ubos pera ang subject na ito.

"Sis, nasagap ng radar ko," Pagsisimula ni Henley ng chismis niya. Magkatabi lang kami dahil alphabetical order ang seating arrangement. "Matthew's family owns Anchor Way. Tapos his dad works as a manager or something sa bank." Halos pabulong na niyang sinasabi para hindi kami mapagalitan.

"Where'd you get that naman?" I asked her, also whispering.

"Rave told me. Classmates pala sila noong Junior High. Mapera, sismars!" She said while nodding like she wants to convince me or something.

"Gaga. Ano ako sugar baby?" I rolled my eyes at her. Pinagmumukha pa akong pera nito. Demonyo nga talaga.

"No! Not like that, gaga! Sinasabi ko lang." Umayos na siya ng upo dahil baka mahalata na kami ng teacher namin dito.

I checked my wristwatch. 10 minutes pa before breaktime. Nagugutom na ako.

"Next week, bring with you different colors of clay. We'll try to do some sculpture." The teacher instructed us before leaving the room. Agad namang lumapit sa amin si Reese at Ellie para magsabay-sabay nang kumain sa baba.

"Gago, clay?! Ano tayo, kinder? Ampota." Inis na sabi ni Reese. Tinawanan lang namin siya dahil inis na inis siya talaga sa clay na iyon. Lumabas na kami saka bumaba para bumili ng pagkain. Nagretouch lang din bago umakyat at magklase ulit.

"Anong progress ninyo ni Matthew?" Reese asked while eating.

"Progress ka d'yan?! I think he's just nice." I simply answered. Hindi rin naman kasi kami nag-uusap. I bet it's just a kind act. 

Nagtuloy tuloy na kami sa classroom. The whole day was fine. I have no meeting today sa council pero dadaan lang ako sa adviser namin for some reminders about sa next event. It will be Intramurals na. It will be a longer event and hassle talaga.

"Maaga pa naman for this but I just want to remind you na we will have a month-long Pre-Intramurals. The basketball games, of course. Announce that every class should have their list sa kung sinu-sino ang maglalaro." I wrote down notes sa dala kong journal. Mahirap na baka malimutan ko. I'll just assign members for this para naman hindi ako mahirapan.

Umalis na rin ako after. I waited for a jeepney to pass by. Halos puno lahat since dismissal time na ng schools. Noong makasakay ako at makauwi, gumawa na ako ng assignments then arranged my to-do-list so I won't forget anything. Tomorrow's Saturday so I decided na bukas nalang bumili ng mga kailangan. Like clay! Oh my gulay, so ridiculous. I can imagine Reese's face while buying lol.

Yayain ko nga mga demonyong iyon bukas. I was about to chat them but a message popped.

Matthew Aiden Garcia: Busy ka bukas?

Para akong tangang na-excite sa chat niya. Tatagalan ko magreply so he won't think I am so interested na kausap siya 'no! 

Althea Dela Cuesta: uhm i'll buy clay for contemp lol. why?

I bit my finger while waiting for his reply. Ready naman ako for late night talks eh. Char 1/2 ulit.

Matthew Aiden Garcia: Samahan kita.
