Unraveled Ties and Love's Demise

"Regrets"

I grew up always wanting to be alone. Since I was in highschool, I always don't want to make a friends.

I am smart, I won't deny that.

I am currently studying in one of the famous schools in the country. I am taking Architecture.

"Sky, tapos na ba ang plates mo?", Ana asked me while we're sitting in one of the waiting sheds of our campus.

"Yeah.", I said and continue erasing some pencil traces.

We are silent for the past one hour when suddenly the school's group of varsity players passed. Their laughs and large voices filled the hallway.

I didn't mind them and just continued drawing some random things.

"Hey, Ana!", Sirius, the captain, said.

Ana is a part of cheerleading team so she's kinda popular too.

"Hey.", Ana answered and wave at them then proceeded to her plates again.

I can see in my side view that three boys are coming closer so I remained silent.

"Wanna introduce her to us?", Kiro, a varsity from Engineering Department, laughed.

"Sorry, boys. She's not interested.", Ana smirked.

I looked at the them and rolled my eyes. The whole team cheered.

"See?", nagkibit balikat si Ana.

A minute of silence crossed the air before a hand was placed in front of me wanting to shake mine.

"Kiro Axel Andradae."

I rolled my eyes and stood up.

These effing playboys.

They'll not stop if I'll ignore them so I shaked his calloused hand, maybe because of holding and playing hearts, I mean basketball balls.

"Hasshianne Sky Alatorre.", I raised my brow at him and pulled my hand away from him immediately. "Now, if you don't mind. We're finding a comfortable place couple of hours ago and we found this one not until you'll made your way here.", nilibot ko ang tingin ko sa mga estudyanteng nakatingin saamin. "I'm from College of Architecture and not interested in you.", I smirked when I saw how shocked he and the people around us were. Tinalikuran ko siya at naglakad pabalik sa upuan ko.

Hindi ko alam kung paano lumipas ang mga araw pagkatapos ng pangyayaring iyon.

"Shit, late na tong plates ko.", nagmamadali akong maglakad para makaabot ako sa professor namin. Nakalimutan ko kaseng gawin tong plates ko dahil sa sobrang daming sabay sabay na pinagawa saamin at ngayon ay late na ako.

Halos mapamura ako ng bumuhos ang malakas na ulan. Nakalimutan ko ring magdala ng payong dahil sa pagmamadali.

Basang basa na ako at hingal na hingal ng maabutan ko si Professor Andradae na kausap ang anak niyang si Kiro sa labas ng kaniyang opisina.

Nang mapadpad ang mga mata ni Kiro saakin ay doon naman napatingin si Prof saakin.

"Mrs. Andradae, please po, accept my plates po. Kahit bawasan niyo na po ng points.", pagmamakaawa ko.

"But Ms. Alatorre, deadline is deadline. You are fifteen minutes late!", dinig ko ang iritasyon sa boses niya.

"Mom, tanggapin mo na. She's so wet. Baka magkasakit pa siya.", nagulat ako sa sinabi ni Kiro.

"Fine, I'll accept this but the next time you will be late, hindi ko na tatanggapin.", kinuha ni Mrs. Andradae ang plates ko at tinalikuran kami.

Doon ko pinakawalan ang hininga kong kanina ko pa pinipigilan. Ibinaling ko kay Kiro ang mga mata ko at ngumiti sa kaniya. Nagkasalubong naman ang mga kilay niya at hinalughog ang gym bag niya.
