Dear, Bright

TWO

We are currently at the cafeteria having our breakfast since may 7:30 class kami and its been 3 days since the incident at Kardi. I can't believe I did that!

"Dae! Lasing ka lang non. Im sure nakalimutan na nila yun, diba Nic?" Mau said while handing me a bentelog and water.

"Oo nga dae. Don't worry, Chase is a cool guy," and took a sipped on her lemon juice "But that Bright guy, I don't know" she added

I made a face and just finished my food.

"O tapos na ako. I need to go," I excused myself kasi may gagawin pa ako sa Admin office. Im a Student Assistant and may pinapa sign na mga papers ang Chairman namin sa President ng school kaya I need to hurry.

I arrived at our admin office fast since malapit lang naman ang cafeteria sa admin office. Nasa 3rd floor ang office ng President. I knocked 3x "Come in," a mans voice said.

"Good Afternoon, Sir. May pinapa-," I was cut off when I realized that may iba palang tao sa office. And he was the same guy at Kardi. Bright? I think Bright yung name niya.

"Oh I apologize for my brother's presence," the president said. Brother?! Shit.

"Ah ok lang po," I handed the files to the president. And Bright was looking at me like he was scanning my fucking face.

"Bright stop that," the president scolded him "Im sorry again, you can go now, Ill hand these files to your chairman personally"

I nodded and went straight to the door. Shit, I need to run!

I was out of breath when I arrived at our building's lobby. Nang may kumalabit sa akin.

"HAA!" I shouted while holding my chest. My heart was beating so fast.

"hatdog," sabay subo ng hotdog "O Pascal, bat parang galing ka nag marathon?"sabay tawa

"Wala kang pake, Owen! Bwisit ka talaga," sabay sapak sa balikat niya

"Nabalitaan ko yung ginawa mo kay Walter ha," tawa nanaman "Grabi ka talaga Pascal"

"Wait. You know him?" kumunot ang noo ko

"Oo naman. JPICE president yun sa Xavier. Siyempre, president din tong gwapo mong kaibigan. So, nagkikita kami sa mga conference." habang kinakagat ang Koi2 niya.

I rolled my eyes "Ewan ko sayo." and headed straight sa elevator.

"Omg dae! Malay mo meant kayo" sabi ni Cha sabay upo hawak ang lunch niya.

Nasa Event Center kami ngayon kumakain ng lunch. Pagdating namin ng cafet ay puno na so no choice kami at sa LimKetKai na kami kumain habnag kinukwento ko sa kanila ang nangyari sa akin sa Admin office.

"Yes dae. Malay mo" at sumangayon naman si Mau.

"You are all unbelievable." while drinking my water.

"Okay. Later na yan ang boys!," Nicole interrupted "Malapit na midterms at ang by pairs ang design plate ngayon. Who wants to be my partner?" she asked while looking at me.

"Okay fine. May magagawa pa ba ako? Eh roomates yang dalawang yan" I said.

"You're the best Gwendolyn. Love you," gesturing to kiss me "O una na ako at hinahanap na ako ng kambal ko" I nodded and waved her goodbye.

Hindi rin kami nagtagal kasi may klase pa kami sa Building Utilities.

Isang linggo na ang lumipas at pinapapunta nanaman ako ng chairman sa office ni president.

"Dae gusto mo samahan kita?," with a teasing voice "But I have a date."

"Alam mo Cha mabuti pa at lumayas ka sa harapan ko at masasapak kita" I said while I rolled my eyes.

Dinadasal ko talaga sana na wala siya duon. I was about to knocked when the door flew open, and yes it was him, AGAIN. Ano ba yan! Everyday ba siya bumibisita sa kapatid niya?

He looked at me with his lazy eyes at nilagpasan lang ako. I sighed with relief. Maybe he didn't recognize me. Pumasok na ako sa office at ibinigay ang mga files sa president. Nang maka labas na ako sa Admin office nagulat ako when I saw him leaning on the railings of the ramp. Tatakbo na sana ako when he grabbed my hand.

"Running away, AGAIN?" he looked at me with annoyance in his eyes.

"Ha? My class pa ako. Im late," Napalunok ako habang tinanggal ko yung hawak niya sa akin.

"Really? So you're not running away from me?," He asked while crossing his hands on his chest.

I straightened my body posture "No, ba't naman ako tatakbo," I raised my eyebrow"saiyo?"

He scratched the back of his head and scoffed a laugh "Because you owe me, an explanation why you did what you did that night?"

"Ah." At napagtanto ko na kasalanan ko pala lahat ng ito. I just want the earth to swallow me right now.

I exhaled "Okay fine. I'm sorry okay? Akala ko kasi ex siya ng bestfriend ko. It was all a misunderstanding okay?" I said eyeing him.

He just shrugged and nodded his head while he mouthed 'okay'

I rolled my eyes and turned my back at him. I breathe in relief thinking my worries are over. Palakad na ako palayo when he said in a low voice but just enough for me to hear,

"See you when I see you"
