Holding On With Maybe (Holding On Series #2)

"I don't think I can last another minute with him without fuming madly because of his attitude."

"Congrats Grace, I know you'll win the election," Mau congratulated me while we're heading to the grand hall.

Kasama ko lahat ng student org sa junior department dahil may general assembly raw kasama ang lahat ng class officers and club officers. I didn't know na ganito pala sa kanila, like every officers will coordinate with each other.

Naupo kami sa unahang row nila Mau dahil doon daw ang respective seats ng student org. My eyes were wandering around hanggang sa mapatingin ako sa likod ko.

"Hi Grace Alyson," he greeted me when he saw me looking at him.

"You're here?" I asked.

Tumingin siya sa paligid niya bago siya nagkibit-balikat at tumingin ulit sa akin.

"Obviously," he shrugged.

"Why?" I frowned at him.

Nakakagulat lang kasi talaga na nandito siya - he's not even a class officer at wala sa itsura niya ang maging officer. I mean, he's so playful! Mukhang hindi niya seseryosohin yung responsibility na meron siya.

"I'm the Vice President of the music club," he confidently said.

My lips parted and I immediately look away from him.

Seriously? Vice President siya? Unbelievable.

The assembly went well despite my irrational thoughts about Timothy. I'm slightly pissed at myself dahil bakit ko ba siya iniisip? It's not as if he's my concern. I shouldn't be wondering in the first place how could he be a Vice President of a club, choice siya ng mga kasamahan niya sa club niya, malay ko ba kung meron silang nakikita sa kanya na hindi ko nakikita.

Ewan.

"Grace Alyson!" Timothy called me.

Naglalakad na ako palabas ng hall kasabay si Mau. Parehas kaming napatingin sa gawi ni Timothy na tumatakbo na palapit sa amin.

"I should probably go," paalam ni Mau.

Hindi na ako nakapagsalita para pigilan siya na umalis at maiwan ako rito kasama si Timothy dahil mabilis siyang naglakad palayo. Too bad, Bobbie's not here dahil nauna siyang umuwi sa'kin.

I sighed deeply as I felt Timothy on my side.

"Bakit mo ba ako kinukulit?" I glanced at him and there goes his shrug again.

"Sasabihin ko lang naman sa'yo na kung pwede sana itanong mo kay Bobbie kung anong kakantahin niya sa mini talent show ng class natin," sagot niya.

I want to tell him na bakit hindi na lang siya ang magtanong kay Bobbie, isa pa - next month pa naman yung talent show na yun pero ayaw kong humaba pa ang usapan namin.

"Sige," sabi ko.

"Ikaw? Anong gagawin mo sa talent show?" Tanong niya.

"Bahala na," tipid kong sagot.

"Bahala na doesn't fit your personality Grace Alyson," he commented.

I turned to him and urged myself not to roll my eyes at him. I know it will just fuel him up to annoy me more.

"How many times do I have to tell you that it's just Grace," I calmly said. "Just call me Grace," I repeated, looking at him.

Hindi naman sa ayaw ko sa second name ko, it's just - he's becoming more annoying whenever he calls me that. Binibigyan ko na nga siya ng chance to be less annoying for me.
