Chasing Heartaches (Shattered Pieces Series #1)

Chapter 18

Weird

"Here, Waige. Take these," Yno said when I got home. "It's from Mom. She said that you'll need those."

Hinalungkat ko ang mga bigay ni Yno. It looks like they bought the whole stationery haul. I found a keys on the little cabinet.

"Yno, what's these for?" I showed him a pair of keys.

"I don't know. Ask mom," sabi niya. I pick up my phone and call Tita. It took five rings for her to answer.

"Oh, Autumn. I guess you already found the key," she said, she sounds like Ate Yhanna. It feels like Ate Yhanna is on the other line.

"Yes, Tita. Para saan po 'yon?"

"It's for the condo. Malapit lang 'yon sa school na papasukan mo. It's Yhanna's condo when she's still senior, sayang naman kung hindi mapapakinabangan. Don't worry, dear. I'll get you a new one when you graduate college," she said softly.

"There's no need tita. I will just borrow the unit at isasauli ko din po pag nakahanap na ako ng apartment."

I'm not going home for now. I don't want to see Windy. Ipapamukha niya lang sa akin na ako ang dahilan kung bakit hindi ko na nakikita sila mama.

Scratch that thought! I'm so sick of it!

I'm very excited to go to school. I will check the library immediately when I got there. Or I'll just go to hang out with the three unknown species.

"Hey! Ready?" I look at Zolen who's looking good with his uniform. He looks normal.

"Always ready." I smiled.

The three of them road different cars, ako naman ay nakisabay kay Zolen. This is the first day of me being a college student. I hope it will turn out well.

"College sucks, Waige. Kung ako sa 'yo, wag ka na lang mag-aral."

"Read your books and focus on your studies. Tamad ka lang, 'wag kasi puro paghahanap ng babae ang atupagin mo."

"Grabe ka! I am the great Zolen Archer. I can be an engineer without dropping a sweat."

Inirapan ko siya. Imposibleng makapasa ka ng hindi nag-aaral. Kung nakapasa ka nga, it's just a plain luck. Ikaw lang din ang mahihirapan sa huli dahil hindi mo inintindi yung lesson.

"You're on the second year already. Nauuna kayo ni Yno sa amin ni Xywon kaya positive vibes ang ibigay mo sa akin. 'Wag kang nega."

Yno is two years older that me. Zolen and I have one year gap. While Xywon and I is in the same age but I'm two months older. Hindi kami magiging magkaklase dahil hindi din naman kami magkakaparehas ng year at mas lalong iba ang course namin sa isat isa.

"Thanks for the ride, Zolen the great," sabi ko nang bumaba ako sa kotse niya. Inakbayan niya ako at sinamahan hanggang hallway.

"See you later at lunch," sabi niya bago lumiko sa kabilang building. Ang daming buildings. Mahihilo ako kung hahanapin ko sila isa isa.

Pagpasok pa lang ako sa pinto ng room ay bumungad na sa harap ko ang nakangising mukha ni Tryne.

"Good morning, Missy. Sit beside me." mabilis siyang umupo sa upuan at pinagpag ang kabila.

I only smiled at him. Hindi ako umupo sa tabi niya at nilagpasan siya. Hinabol niya ako ng tingin. Umupo ako sa pinakadulo. I don't want to get disturb. Kung katabi ko si Tryne ay wala akong matututunan dahil alam kong dadaldalin niya lang ako. He's talkative when he's with me.
