Tears in Heaven (Architect Series #3) [Publish Under B&B Printing Service]

Chapter 5

I went to cafeteria and ordered my coffee and sandwich. I have done my breakfast at home but there's nothing wrong if I'll eat again, right? When the cashier handed me my breakfast I took a seat near at the window glass. It's still early but students are busy passing by the oval.

I sip on my coffee and take a bite to my sandwich as I divert my attention to those students who are newly entered the cafeteria. They were mumbling with their brows furrowed. Ang ingay nila kaya kahit sino ay mapapatingin talaga sa kanila. Umupo sila sa hindi kalayuan mula sa akin. Bilang ko mga lima sila sa grupo. Three girls and two boys.

"That's stupid. Can't you think wider? Just make it unpredictable, Kris! Kapag ganyan ay baka validation pa lang reject na tayo!" I heard the girl spat the guy named Kris. He has this big round eye glasses against his eyes. Nerd.

"I'm sorry.. I.. I'm j-just suggesting though.." he answered nervously.

They keep arguing and fighting their point most probably it's their thesis. Struggling getting one's point. Sino ba naman hindi mahihirapan niyan, e kulang nalang maglagay siya ng speaker para rinig ng nakakarami.

Nilihis ko ang paningin sa oval kung saan nagtetraining ang mga football player. They were kicking the ball to goal. I saw my crush bouncing the ball against his head. He's sweating over his body. Lalo nang manipis ang tela ng kanyang damit.

"Don't you eat in your house?"

I rolled my eyes when I divert my gaze to Patrick who is already sitting in front of me. He look at me using his serious face. His grey eyes didn't leave mine.

"Not your business." Supladang ani ko.

Pinagsiklop niya ang mga daliri sa taas ng lamesa at sumandal sa upuan hindi pa rin inalis ang seryosong tingin sa akin. I'm not used to him acting this way. He's crazy and jerk of most the time so nakakapanibagong biglang naging seryoso ang gagong ito sa harap ko.

"You should eat before you leave your house-"

"Ma f-fall na ba ako sa'yo niyan?" Putol ko sa kanya.

"Hind," maikling sagot niya. "Because I think you already are," he added and his upper lip rose up.

"Medyo stupid ka," I said sarcastically.

Inubos ko na ang sandwich ko at ang kape ko. He didn't leave me until I finished my breakfast. He was busy typing his phone and smiled like an idiot. Nang matapos ako hindi pa ako umalis nanatili akong nakaupo sa harap niya and I scroll through my phone. Hanggang sa nakarating na rin si Jeralyn. He went beside me and took a seat. Patrick look at her and offered her my coffee cup which is wala ng laman. Jeralyn just look at him emotionless so he stopped.

"Where's Charelle?" Tanong ni Patrick na parang kinikilig.

"Room," Jeralyn answered. "Bakit ka nandito? 'Di ka nag breakfast?" Nilihis nito ang tingin sa akin.

"I had but someone messes my mood earlier so.." I finished my statement by shrugging my shoulder.

"E, 'bat kasama mo siya?" Turo nito kay Patrick na seryoso na naman ang mukha. Baliw!

"Yayo ko siya. Binabantayan niya lang ako," sagot ko at nagpatuloy sa pagtitipa ng mensahe kay Etyl.

To: Etylibog

"At cafeteria, chillin'."

I know she's late again pero baka lang naman may himala at mapaaga siya ng dating.

"Shan, may party akong pupuntahan gusto mong sumama?" I put down my phone and up gaze to Jeralyn.

I was about to speak but then, the jerk interrupted.
