Practice


The following week was a hectic one because it's midterms week. Minor subjects man o major, madaming exams at projects.

We did great in our subject BAKING2, yung Red Velvet Maple Cake by Ashni. We really used that as the title of our project.

Good thing we made changes sa recipe based on the suggestions last time, lalo na sa amount of maple syrup. Puro nasa middle age ang judges namin and I'm sure na matatamisan sila masyado kung hindi namin binawasan yun.

We got the highest score among the groups that presented today. Meron pang mga magprepresent bukas, though. Nevertheless, I'm happy with the outcome.

I ate lunch alone today dahil nagsabay si Ash at si Ayi. It's fine with me, sanay naman ako and I'm not scared being alone.

I checked my phone when it vibrated.

From unknown number. 12:30 PM

How did the presentation go?


Me, 12:30 PM

Who's this?


I sent it before I checked the earlier messages at narealize na si Vini pala yun. He texted me last night tinatanong kung anong oras ang 1st class ko pero dahil kabado ako sa presentation namin kagabi pa, hindi ko pa siya narereplayan.

From Vini, 12:32 PM

Sinasabi ko nanga ba eh, 2 days palang tayo di nagkikita nakalimutan mo na ako.


Me, 12:33 PM

Dramatic! Sorry, ngayon ko palang nasave number mo. I was nervous about the presentation last night kaya hindi ko pinansin text mo. Don't worry, we aced the presentation.


From Vini, 12:34 PM

Congrats! Avail tom morning 7am?


Me, 12:34 PM

7am? For date? Ano namang gagawin natin, sarado pa lahat nun.


From Vini, 12:35 PM

Why not? Let's have breakfast together. San condo mo? Sunduin kita.


Pumayag naman ako sa huli at sinabi ang pangalan ng condo building namin. I had multiple dates already pero this is the 1st time someone asked me for a breakfast date!

I bit my lower lip when I realized 1st time nanaman. Ang daming pa-1st time experience ni Vini na natatabunan na yung date memories ko with my exes.

He's making it seem like my past dates are so common and not special, at iyong kanya ay nagiging special para sakin dahil 1st experience.

This is just coincidence, right?

I went to my next class at naabutan si Ash na nakasubsob ang mukha sa table, natutulog.

I saw a flower on my table at muntik ko nang kunin yun para ihampas kay Ash when I saw that it was from Trevor.

Kumunot ang noo ko, we haven't been talking for weeks, akala ko tapos na kami? Kinuha ko ang phone ko at nimessage siya sa Instagram dahil wala akong number niya.

@yaniazlee, 12:50 PM

Hey Trevor, I received your flower, thanks! Pero akala ko we're done? I've heard you're dating someone else na.


@trevillanueva 12:51 PM

I'm sorry, I ghosted you. I got busy. Give me a 2nd chance pls?
