Those Blurry Lines

Unang taon ko sa kolehiyo, akala ko kakayanin ko lang 'to. Pero nasa ikalawang taon pa lamang ako, gusto ko nang huminto.

Taking up Architecture is not my will. I mean, I love designing but my course is not what I actually wanted. Nag pop-up lang talaga siya sa utak ko bigla habang nagpapa-enroll.

Siguro dahil gusto ko rin inisin si Mommy.

She wanted me to take up a business course but I decided not to. Instead, I took a very different one.

"I bought a new bag from LA," ani Maybel. "I actually regret after it came last night. I mean okay lang naman siya pero... ugh, sa personal ayaw ko na."

Kasalukuyan kaming nasa Caf para mag lunch. Kasama ko sina Maybel at Yumi.

"Sayang naman," si Yumi.

I rolled my eyes. "Patingin."

Maybel got her phone and gave it to me. I saw a picture of a yellow mustard bag. It was just plain at may signature logo sa upper middle nito. It was actually cute.

I gave it back to her as I proceeded to eat my bento box.

"Okay naman 'yung quality niya pero hindi ko talaga alam kung saan ko 'to gagamitin. I mean, it doesn't match my skin color," reklamo pa niya.

"It's actually nice with your skin tone, Maybel. Sadyang exaggerated ka lang talaga. It would look good with a white sundress. Pwede rin kapag may gala ka. It just depends on how you would wear it," I casually said.

Kaagad siyang nahinto at nailang. Hindi na siya nagsalita pa at nagpatuloy sa pagkain niya.

Sometimes, I pity her for having a bad taste in fashion. Ito namang si Yumi, minsan ang kulay ng mga sinusuot niya ay hindi match. I mean, they should fix that.

I sighed and took a bite. Kaagad naman kaming napatingin nang may umingay. I mean, normal lang naman talaga na maingay sa Caf pero ibang ingay 'to, eh.

"Wassup, bro!"

My ears immediately went red when I heard Jackson's voice. Kahit noon pa lang, nakakairita na siya.

Kasama niya iyong kaibigan niyang si Geron, who actually looked so hot because of his tattoo under his arms, but auto-pass. Freshman pa kasi. Masyado pang bata.

May mga iba pa silang kasama sa mesa nila at talagang ang ingay.

"Bet ko talaga 'yang si Geron," si Yumi. "He's so tall, making him look like a third year or a fourth year na."

"Same," ani Maybel. "Pero feeling ko mas funny si Jack. At saka, UAAP pa."

I snorted. "Nakakainis kaya siya. Ang ingay-ingay."

"Mas bet sana kung basketball player para shoot lang nang shoot," sabi ni Yumi na kaagad namang tinawanan ni Maybel.

I smirked. "Ibang shoot yata naiisip ko."

"True!" ani Maybel.

She was about to give me a high five but I only looked at her hand. Kaagad naman siyang tumikhim at ibinaba ito.

"Oy, Maybel!" kaagad kong narinig ang papalapit na boses ni Jackson.

We had interactions before but I usually stay silent because I don't really like him.

I cleared my voice and made it seemed obvious that I don't really give a shit about his whole existence.

"Oy, Jack!" bati ni Maybel.
