The Seatmate (Bleeding Hearts Series #2)

08

It has been days since that unforeseen group meeting occurred. And I realized that I should not have just joined because I didn't help my group mates for what they were doing and for the reason that Kel immediately shut me out of their house.

Well, nangyari na ang nangyari diba. And kahit wala man lang akong naitulong sa mga kagrupo ko, at least I have set aside my supposed schedule with my mom just to be with them. Para naman den maipakita ko sakanila na hindi ako rude or whatsoever.

Na even though I am smart and that I can do those things without depending on anyone or having anyone to do it with me, the value of fellowship is more important.

Buti na nga lang at hindi ako pinagalitan ni Mommy the day that happened. Sabi ko nga sainyo, she understood that part pero she kinda told me indirectly that I should have told her earlier para di daw nasayang yung effort niya na magpahanda. 

But then again, it didn't save me for lessening my works. Dahil nga napaalis ako sa bahay ng kupal na iyon ng maaga, wala den akong nagawang progress sa part ko. In the end, here I am, staying up late.

We still have four days to finish this group presentation that we had but I am not even halfway there. Siyempre this should be done with two to three members pero ako lang ang gumagawa ng mga ito ngayon.

And don't get me started with that fucking asshole again. Mas nababadtrip ako.

It's currently 2:30 am and I never thought that I would reach this late. Plus, I am so wrapped up from searching and finding accurate results and answers from the internet but since I can't find one, wala akong nagawa kundi magregister sa different social media websites just to evaluate my part precisely. At nakalimutan ko nading kumain ng dinner dahil pagkaapak ko palang sa bahay namin ay eto na ang inasikaso ko.

Hay bahala na!

Nagtatype na ako ng mga paragraphs sa Powerpoint Presentation ko when my phone suddenly dinged. I looked up at the screen and I saw Tati's name requesting a FaceTime with me. I set my phone in portrait position and rested it on the side of my laptop screen.

Tati really is the definition of the night owl. If there's a more description of a night owl, siya na siguro yon. She always sleeps 4 am or minsan hindi na yan natutulog pag pumapasok sa iskul. I think she called me kung gising ba talaga ako or what.

"Sis himala nagpuyat ka." bungad niya saken when I accepted her call.

"Paano ba naman kailangan kong gawin to ng ako lang mag-isa! Sis! This was a task for two to three person tas ako lang yung gumagawa!" I vented my frustration to her dahil kaibigan niya naman ang tinutukoy ko dito!

"Kalma, bakit parang kasalanan ko?" she exaggeratedly held her chest and acted as if she was dejected.  "Teka nga, sino ba kase kapartner mo jan at parang pinagbagsakan ka ng langit at lupa!"

"Yang bwiset mong best friend!" singhal ko pero tinawanan niya lang ako ng malakas. Bakit nga pala sinagot ko pa itong gagang toh? Kahit hatinggabi na ay wala parin sa preno ang pangbibwiset hays. She's lucky I love her.

"Hoy grabe ka makabwiset! Online yang gagong yan ngayon! Message mo kaya gorl! Di na ako ang pinagbubuntungan mo ng galit amp!" 

"Ayoko nga, ikaw na lang!" utos ko na agad niya namang sinunod. 

She held the call for a while at baka tatawagan niya si Kel sa kabilang linya. Ako naman, pinagpatuloy ko na muna yung ginagawa ko at nang bumalik si Tati ay ngumingisi si gaga!

"Anong sabi?" tanong ko.

"Saktong pagtawag ko daw matutulog na siya" Ani Tati.

Wow! The audacity of that guy really! Aba'y napakaswerte niya talaga! Ako nga dito, nagpapakasasa at isinakripisyo na ang tulog para paghirapan to tapos siya papetiks-petiks nalang jan!

"WAG NA KAMO SIYA MAGISING PUTANGINA NIYA!" malutong na mura ko.

Ugh! Humanda talaga siya saken!

I was peacefully sleeping after a dreadful night when all of a sudden, my alarm went off. I quickly snooze it because before I went to sleep last night, I informed mom that I won't go to school with my school service today.

Usually kase, our school service will be here in our house before 6 am sharply. That means I still have like two hours free time kapag ganon. That's why nagpahuli ako. At least an hour will be added at my sleeping time.

I didn't even realize that it's quarter to three na nung natapos ako. Though it's not that finish yet, I still haven't done the last two parts. Maybe this will be my pattern again later. Just by thinking again about staying late, I can't. My mind can't and mostly my body can't.

I am really amused on how Tati survived doing this ever since last year. Like how do she keep up this kind of routine? And isipin mo ah, hindi pa natutulog si Tati sa school kahit isang pangyayari ay wala. Maaga pa nga ito minsan kung pumasok eh.

Anyways, makatulog na nga lang uli.

"HOY GISING NA MALELATE KA NA OH!" Bigla akong napabangon sa aking pagkakahiga ng marinig ko ang malakas na sigaw ng nanay ko sa hamba ng aking pintuan sa kwarto.

Nawalan na ako sa wisyo lalo na nung nakalimutan ko sabihin sa yaya namin na uniform kami ngayon!  Ang nakahanda dito ngayon sa drawer ko ay yung P.E. T-shirt ko at jogging pants. Imbes na mainis ay wala nalang akong nagawa kung hindi suotin to dahil mahuhuli na ako.

"Ate Lannie naman! Sabi ko tuwing Thursday ay uniform kami eh!" reklamo ko sa yaya namin nang makababa na ako sa hagdan habang sinusuot ko ang medyas ko. Grabe! Hindi ko kaya ang pagmumulti-task ng ganito!

Hindi na rin ako naka umagahan. Ugh! I am so fucked up geez!  I almost tripped from running outside our house para makasakay sa sasakyan ni Daddy. Thank god that Daddy's a fast driver. He can go to our school almost in time.

But it was too late. The school guard's already closing the gate of our school entrance and now I am here in the lobby with some of the students who are tardy.

I look around to see if there's someone I know that could be here. Maybe one of my classmates or what. I was relieved to see some of my guy classmates. I looked again only to see someone who must not be named.

It's not Voldemort, everyone.

It's non other than, Kel.
