When It Hits

"Hay naku! Wala na bang idadagdag sa gagawin natin? Parang want ko magsipag lalo, ginaganahan ako sa sobrang daming gagawin! Yehey!" Ella clapped her hands sarcstically while we're walking into our last class. 

"Girl, malapit na kasi finals and it sucks! Baka want pa nga nila dagdagan. Sagad na gano'n!" Claire shouted out of frustration. Paano ba naman kasi, sobrang dami talaga naming gagawin. But I fully understand that, of course we're at school, we're studying. 

"Ikaw Gail? Walang masabi?" Ella raised a brow at me. 

"Wala." Oh gosh! Tinatamad na talaga ako! I want to go and have fun again, ugh!

"Sus, kunwari wala pero sumisigaw na 'yan sa utak niya. How's Vince? Hindi ko ata siya nakita these past few weeks?" Claire asked me. 

Oh right, busy siya ngayon dahil of course, studies. Almost one month na rin kaming hindi masyadong nagkikita since the day we went to Tagaytay. But when we do have free time both, lagi naman kaming magkasama which is sobrang madalang nalang. 

"He's busy eh." I answered her.   

"Ay naku! Nag-away kayo?" Ella asked me, seriously girl?

"No! I mean, busy lang naman kaming pareho. Anong away naman diyan?" I rolled my eyes at her. 

"Ay akala ko nag-away kayo, mukhang 'di na kayo masyadong nagkikita eh." she shrugged. 

I didn't answer her anymore, alam naman na niya 'yung sagot. We just took our last class hanggang sa matapos iyon. It's almost 7 pm and pauwi palang ako. 

After we reached the parking area, nagmadali narin akong umalis because I need to prepare pa for a quiz tomorrow. 

When I successfully parked my car, I immediately went inside my unit para mag-ayos na. I just ordered a food para hindi sayang sa oras. I haven't got home since... I can't even remember kung kailan pa nga ata ang huli kong uwi roon. 

My parents were not in there anyways. They always flew back and forth from here to States then from there to here. Lagi silang busy, I don't even know kung anong pinagkakaabalahan nila roon. I mean, andito naman 'yung business namin, but why the hell would they be going to States? They barely even have time for me anymore, but I don't care. what would I expect? Sanay na naman ako.

When I already got my food, sakto namang nag ring na 'yung phone ko so I think it's Vince, calling again. That's our routine, to call each other every night kahit gaano kami ka busy.  

[Hi babe, kumusta naman ang buhay? Buhay ka pa? Joke!] he asked right away. 

"Ang gandang greetings, Vince. Hindi, multo na kausap mo. I just got my food, magrereview pa ako for a quiz." I said to him, nilapag ko 'yung phone ko sa table since naka video call naman kami. 

[Next week finals niyo na, diba?] he asked then I nodded. [Nice, next next week pa kami. Good 'yan! Wala ka na pasok after. Sana lahat!] he said.
