"I really thought you came here for me," Hyal said as we were heading at the infirmary.

Nabanggit ko na kasi sa kanya kung anong pakay ko rito.

Tinaasan ko naman siya ng kilay. Napansin ko naman ang ibang babaeng estudyante na napapatingin sa akin—sa amin habang naglalakad kami nang sabay.

"Mabuti pa talagang si Mordi na lang o si Sol ang nakasalubong ko," I said and shook my head.

"Hey, that's a foul," he said and slightly bumped my shoulder.

Sinimangutan ko naman siya.

"You wouldn't see them, anyway. Sol is locked up inside their room, studying. While my good old cousin is cooking, balak atang palitan si Gordon Ramsay, e." He shrugged off.

Napatingin naman ako sa kanya habang bumabati naman siya pabalik sa mga ibang estudyante. "And Asa?" I couldn't help but asked.

He glanced at me and slightly raised a brow before grinning. "He's at the stall right now, making a use out of it."

"Stall? What is happening near your building?" I asked confusingly.

"Oh, it's like a booth. The most stalls to get higher sales will get the highest grades. Though, it's only applied to us business ad students. Ewan ko ba kung anong pakana ng school na ito." He chuckled. And there I saw a small dimple on his left cheek. Ngayon ko lamang napansin ito dahil ngayon ko lamang siya pinansin nang ganito kalapitan at hindi rin naman ganoon kalalim ang dimple niya kaya lumalabas lamang ito kapag tumatawa siya.

Tumango na lamang ako sa kanya. "And shouldn't you be there, as well?"

"Well, Asa and I were already exempted for this because of our soccer championship. Pero syempre, we'll attract more customers if we help as well. Ang kaso tapos na ang oras na pagtulong ko, si Asa naman ang nakatoka roon." He looked at me and winked.

Huh. Attract more customers. Right... they are pretty famous here. What a noble conceited assholes they are. I'm so proud. Makes me wanna tear up.

"Oh, yeah, before I forgot, you wanna come with us later this evening?" He suddenly said but I waited for him to finish his sentence. "We'll go bar hopping!" Nakangisi niyang sinabi.

Napangiwi naman ako. Parang hindi uminom nang nakamamatay na inumin kagabi ito, at ngayon naman ay inaaya akong mag bar. Iba talaga ang tibay ng ulo, atay at kaluluwa ng lalaking ito.

"I had enough last night, Hyal," I declined. Naalala ko pa lamang ang itsura at lasa no'ng ginawa niyang inumin ay pakiramdam ko masusuka ako.

"Psh! That's a bummer. Asa will be coming with me," he said that got my attention.

Kumunot naman ang noo ko at siya naman ay nagkibit balikat.

"Mordi is being a pussy, while Sol is being a kill joy. Tanging si Asa lang ang sasama sa akin," aniya at nailing-iling.

So, he is coming with Hyal tonight to go bar hopping. Bakit naman? I mean, he could've just drank with us last night, bakit sasama naman siya ngayon kay Hyal? Tsk. Why do I even care? Of course, he also has a night life. Booze, party, and girls. How come I forgot about that? It's not like he's living in ancient time to just come home after attending school.

"Hey, Afia." I felt Hyal poked my cheek that brought me back from my reverie.

Napakurap-kurap ako at napatingin sa kanya. Shit. Why was I suddenly spacing out and thinking of him?
