Chapter 13
"Tinambakan na tayo ng projects and all pero ikaw, parang nanalo ng isang bilyon sa lotto." Puna ni Hanna sa akin. Nginitian ko lang siya at nagpatuloy sa pagta-type ng kung ano para sa research namin.
Halos sabay sabay nagbigay ng mga proyekto ang aming mga professors dahil patapos na ang academic year. Final exams is approaching, too.
The sportsfest's finals will be next week that's why we are really having a hard time managing our time in school and in sports. But I am super motivated that I barely feel the stress.
Jairus:
Are you free?
Me:
No :( Why?
Jairus:
I just want to eat with you :(
I smiled as I stare at his message. Ginaya niya pa ang emoticon na nilagay ko.
Me:
Nag early lunch ako with my group mates. Kumain ka na lang din diyan. Don't skip it!!
Jairus:
Yes, Ma'am!
I chuckled and put the phone beside the laptop. Iniirapan na ako ni Hanna nang pabiro at ako naman ay tatawa-tawa lang.
Maaga kaming natapos sa aming ginagawa dahil masisipag din naman ang mga kasama ko. I proceed on doing my other projects because I don't like to cram at the end of the day. I still have to train for the final game.
"Girl, who the fuck is this?" Hanna furiously said as she showed me Jairus' candid picture while sitting on his swivel chair. It is posted on instagram by a micaocampo.
Mica Ocampo?! This woman is a model. But why is she in Jairus' office and posting his pictures in the Internet?
"Mas bagay kayo kaysa sa college girl na iyon. Aaaah I ship!! Tss. Mas maganda naman si Caia diyan!" Hanna read the comment aloud and reacted violently.
I am slightly hurt because I know na wala lang ako kumpara kay Mica Ocampo. She's a model for fuck's sake! Isa lang akong hamak na college girl na wala pang nararating sa buhay.
Jairus, ilang babae pa ba ang magiging karibal ko?
That picture turned my whole mood upside down. Naging intense ako sa practice at medyo sumakit yung balikat ko dahil dun. I can feel the slight cracking of my bones im my roght shoulder. Kinakabahan si coach dahil baka mas lumala pa yun at hindi ko maigalaw pagdating sa finals. Hindi pa naman ako marunong maglaro gamit ang left hand.
"Huwag ka na lang munang sumali sa mga practice. Avoid using your right arm too much." Tumango na lang ako, wala pa rin sa mood.
Mommy massaged my whole right arm when I arrived at home.
Jairus:
Are you home?
Me:
Yes.
Me:
Why is Mica Ocampo in your office?
Walang paligoy-ligoy akong nagtanong. Mahina akong makapagreply dahil kaliwang kamay ang ginagamit ko. Mommy is still massaging my right arm.
Jairus:
Nangangamusta lang. She just arrived from the States.
Me:
Who cares?
I rolled my eyes in annoyance. As if I care with where did your bitch came from! She can go to hell.
