It is almost 7 PM and the squad is already here at the library except for Kelly and Chad. That bitch. I told her to come by 6 PM sharp. Kahit kelan talaga 'yung babaeng yun. 

"Fuck," Ivan said while massaging his temple.

"Nahihilo na 'ko Iya. Baka ikamatay ko na 'to," Reklamo niya.

"Gago wala ka pang isang oras nag aaral. Umayos ka," I told him.

"Sabi ko nga ho," He said before facing his book again. 

"Problema mo?" Iritadong tanong ko kay Elli dahil nakatingin lang siya sakin imbis na sa libro niya.

"Sinong uupo diyan?" He asked, referring to the seat next to me. Elli insisted to sit beside me a while ago but I already reserved the seat for Kelly to be able to help her more because she said so. She kept texting me last night. Nangungulit siya ng sobra na tulungan ko siya pero hindi naman siya sumipot sa tamang oras.

"'Wag mong sabihin sakin na para kay Chad 'yan," Sabi niya kaya naman napatingin ang lahat sakin. Chad told me that he won't be able to attend the group study tonight for some reason I don't know why. Sinabi niya lang na hindi siya makakapunta at babawi na lang daw siya sa susunod.

"Pano kung oo?" Pang aasar ko.

"Edi tangina kung ganun!" Sigaw niya kaya naman napalingon ang lahat ng students samin at nasita pa kami ng librarian.

"Manahimik ka nga," I replied.

"Asan ba kasi yung gunggong na 'yun?" Tanong niya at sakto namang natanaw ko si Kelly na nag lalakad papalapit sa amin.

"Sorry, I'm late," Kelly said as she sits beside me.

"Late na late lang naman," I corrected her.

"Sorry na nga diba?" 

"Sorry mo mukha mo," I replied and she giggled in return.

"What the fuck is happening?" Leo asked and when I looked at him, I noticed that everyone is looking at me, confused as fuck.

"Are you friends with her?" Cheska asked in disbelief.

"Kelly is the only person that you hate as hell. What the heck is going on?" Tanong ni Ivan.

"I fucking hate you too," I informed him and he makes face in return. 

"We can't be friends with a cheater," Charry added.

"Can you guys shut the fuck up, please?" Tanong ko sa kanila. Nagkatinginan muna sila bago sila tuluyang tumahimik. 

"Libro, bilis," Utos ko kay Kelly na agad niya namang ginawa.


After helping Cheska and Kelly in Phil Culture and Tourism Geography, I also helped Charry and Leo in the Theory and History of Architecture. They are smart and I believe that they can do it. They just do not have the key to reviewing effectively which makes it a problem. It was almost 10 PM when the librarian started fixing the chairs and cleaning the windows. Kami na lang ng barkada ang naiwan sa loob ng library at mukhang pagod na ang iba sa kanila lalong lalo na si Ivan fucking Rivas. So I decided to wrap things up and continue reviewing with them tomorrow. 


"Let's end the class today," Sabi ko kaya naman natuwa silang lahat. 

"Sa wakas!" Leo said before closing his book.
