Out Of My Reach

Chapter 3

Ariez’s POV

I woke up at around 8:30 and I went downstairs to eat breakfast alone because I know for sure, my siblings are gone for school right now and my parents are probably in our company, working. Well, malimit naman kaming sabay kumain kaso minsan kapag 10 o’clock pa yung pasok ko ay late na ako magising at hindi na naman sila nag-aabalang gisingin ako dahil hindi nila ako mapipilit.

After eating, I went to my room to shower in my bathroom. It took me half an hour in showering before going out. Sa university namin, every Monday and Friday lang kami nagsusuot ng uniform based on our degree. Its Wednesday so obviously naka civilian kami. Pwede saming magsuot kahit ano basta wag lang masyadong exposed ang katawan mo and wearing shorts in a big NO!

I decided to wear an off-shoulder floral top partnered with a high-waisted jeans and heels. Hindi naman mataas ang heels ko, ayaw ko sa sobrang taas kasi nagkaka-crumps ako pati sumasakit agad ang paa ko. I braided my hair just like Elsa’s in Frozen. Pinabayaan ko lang mahulog sa mukha ko ang mga baby hair ko to add style and there, I’m all done.

Nagperfume na ako at tsaka ko kinuha ang bag ko. It is well designed and medium in size which suits my outfit. Ayaw ko sa sobrang laki. Kinuha ko na ang car key ko at lumabas na. Oh I forgot. Wala nga pala ang kotse ko, hinatid nga pala ako ni Radan kapahon. My eyes widened when I saw my car in our garage. Sinong nagdala nito dito? Baka si Radan.

Oh c’mon alam kong hindi nya gagawin yun.

I shrugged at sumakay na sa kotse ko. Itatanong ko na lang kay Jaylo mamaya, maybe he knows. I started the engine and drove off to the University. I parked my car smoothly to avoid collision to the other cars. Madami kasi sa pumapasok sa University na to ay may sariling kotse kaya madami ang nakapark dito.

Ayaw ko magasgasan ang kotse ko dahil regalo pa yun sakin ng grandparents ko nung 18th birthday ko. It’s precious for me. I miss my grandparents. Kelan kaya ulit sila bibisita dito?

Bumaba na ako ng sasakyan at pumasok na sa University. I caught their attention. Nagbulungan sila at napapakinggan ko pa yung iba. May mga magagandang sinasabi sakin at syempre may mga masasama. Hindi ko na lang pinansin yun sa halip ay nginitian ko na lang yung mga bumabati.

I proceeded to my first class. It’s a little bit far but I can make it. I only have 15 minutes left before the class starts. On my way there, someone walked beside me. I was surprised to see who it is but I smiled after recovering.

“Hi! Papunta ka na sa class mo?” He asked and I answered him while walking. I don’t have much time left.

“Yeah. Sorry ah pero kasi nagmamadali ako eh.” I said.

“Hatid na kita.”

“Huh? Wag na. Baka may klase ka pa.”

“No it’s okay. San ba yung next class mo?” I sighed.

“Sa 4th floor ng building na to. Marketing.”

“Oh? Dun din ako eh. Magkablock pala tayo.”

“Ows? For real?”

“Yup. Teka. Bilisan na natin 3 minutes na lang.” he held my hand.

“Wait Clark—“ Hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil hinila na nya ako papunta sa elevator, malapit na kasi magsara. Muntikan na kami masarahan buti na lang naharang ni Clark yung kamay nya. Nang makapasok kami sa loob, I heard the girls gasped.

“Oh my God. It’s Clark.”

“Ang bango nya. I think I’m gonna die.”

“Buo na ang araw ko!”
