"That's all for today, thank you for cooperating with the whole org. See you next semester!"

That was our last org meeting for this sem. Our org president gave us each a token of appreciation for being dedicated and responsible. We had discussed about our upcoming TBS next semester and we're planning on doing it in a resort sa Batangas. We could really use some relaxation after all the stressful weeks of school.

I texted Trixie that I was coming home to pack my stuff because I'll be staying in Parañaque for the whole semestral break. Good thing wala kaming Midyear Term or else mapapagastos nanaman ako sa condo.

I was on my way to the Lanai when I saw Sebastian sitting on the bench playing something on his phone. I raised at brow and wondered why he was here. Was he waiting for me or is it someone else?

After what happened, I didn't bother to check my direct messages or texts anymore. Even if it was from him. Nawalan na ako ng gana and I just wanted to have time for myself.

I sighed as I watch him from a distance. A lot of students were eyeing on him, obviously he's really an eye-catcher to everyone. I chuckled when he changed his face into an annoyed one, looks like he's been having struggles playing his game.

Lumapit ako sa kanya at umupo. Remembering what Trixie told me. That I should really be happy. I would like to explore and see if I'm really happy with Sebastian. There's no harm in trying. I slowly moved my face closer to see what he's playing.

He looked shocked when I sat beside him, ang ginawa niya, he quit the game immediately and turned to face me. I was amused because he didn't finish the game atleast.

"Bakit mo inexit? Matatalo ka niyan, ako na nga. Bubuhatin kita," He was playing Call Of Duty, rank game pa! I tried to reach for his phone but he kept it away.

"I didn't know ghosts can speak," I could sense a bit of tampo from his tone.

It made my brows furrowed.

"Ghost? I did not ghost you!" I hit his firm shoulders lighty. Ang OA niya naman! Isang araw lang hindi nagreply ghost agad? "Ano bang ginagawa mo dito? Sinong hinihintay mo?"

"Ikaw. Sino pa ba?" He said sarcastically. He suddenly took my bag and hung it on his shoulder before standing up. "Ihahatid na kita pauwi,"

Tumango naman ako. "Nasa condo si Trixie, uuwi ako ng Parañaque ngayon. Wala na ba kayong class?"

"Nag-end na yung term namin." Sabi niya. "Ihahatid kita sa Parañaque"

Bago pa ako nagsalita ay napalingon ako sa tumawag sa akin. It was Gianna. I smiled and waved. "Sana all sinusundo ng jowa!" Tukso niya sabay tulak sa akin ng pabiro.

I could hear the murmurs of the other girls, and from the look on their faces mukhang nanghinayang sila dahil akala nilang boyfriend ko talaga si Sebastian.

"Uuwi ka na?" Tanong ko sa kanya.

She nodded. "Kakapasa ko lang ng final output ko sa faculty. Anyway, I have to go! See you sa training!" She smiled and waved before walking away. We still have our trainings tuwing semestral break or summer breaks. Although uuwi pa rin ako sa Parañaque after that.
