The Boyfriend Project (COMPLETED) #Wattys2016

Third

3 - Finding Subject

Nakaka-inis ang ganitong feeling. Yung alam mo na it's crazy, pero itutuloy mo pa rin kasi you want to experience. Ayaw mo naman na tawagin kang desperada, pero ganun din ang labas. Kahit na ang totoo ay na-curious ka lang talaga, at gusto mo ring maranasan.

Pero, andito na ako e.

This is it.

No more second thoughts.

Gagawin ko na talaga ang step one.

Kaya, andito ako sa canteen, where you can see different students in our university. Dala-dala ko ang reading materials in one of my minor subjects. May two hours vacant ako for my next class kaya magmemeryenda na ako at maghahanap ng subject ko for my project.

The Boyfriend Project.

Pinagmasdan ko ang lahat ng tao sa canteen. Humiwa ako ng konti sa slice ng red velvet cake bago lumingon sa agaw pansin na group sa buong canteen.

I chewed my cake slowly as I watched them. They are the popular kids. Nakita ko si James Gabriel Villanueva with Francis Luciano Garcia and rest of the gang. I sipped my frappe as I observed them. Ang grupo nila ay ung mga varsity ng school that gained popularity dahil magaling silang maglaro and they are heirs and heiress of big companies. Plus points na they got great looks. Lalo na si James, nakaka-gulat nung lumipat sya ng school namin kasi inagaw niya ang attention ng female population. A certified playboy pero ngayon ay good boy na dahil sa girlfriend nya na kambal ni Luke Garcia na si Andy Garcia. Andy already graduated last sem, na-extend lang si James while Luke got another year dahil engineering course yun.

Not one of them, I mumbled to myself as I eat my cake.

Mahirap maka-usap ang rich and famous. Kahit na sigurado akong papayag ang mga players sa project na ito, madaming complications. Baka masabunutan pa ako isa-isa ng mga babae nya sa long list of ex-lovers nya. Kawawa naman ako, baka broken-hearted na nga, kalbo pa.

I looked around again.

Nakakita ako ng group of GCs, yung mga grade concious na mga estudyante. Sila yung mga estudyante na dedicated ang buhay nila sa college sa acads. The group is composed of future doctors and future lawyers.

Again, not one of them.

Ayoko naman sirain ang focus nila sa pag-aaral dahil sa kalokohan ko. Konsensya ko pa pag na-extend sila or bumaba ang grades nila.

I scanned the canteen again. There are a lot of students that are divided by their organizations, fraternities and sororities. Mahirap kung sasali pa ako sa organization, it will just prolong the project and add up more complications.

I saw few faces that were my part of my classes before. They are nice people at yung iba ay di kilala ng two best friends ko. That's it!

I'll just choose one of them to be my subject.

I eat my cake as I continue to observe the people. Antagal ko na kinakain ang cake na ito at di na ganoon kalamig ang frappe ko. Uubusin ko na nga.

Inuubos ko na ang frappe ko nang may bumangga sa chair ko.

"Uy! Sorry!"

I looked back and saw my perfect subject.

I grinned.

Perfect!
