Nagising ako on my second day of college student, napakagandang sinag ng araw ang bumungad sa aking umaga.

"Yes, second day na."

As I got out of bed, I leaped with joy, still basking in the positive energy of the morning. But just as I was about to embrace the day, my alarm blared loudly.

*too toot too toot....

I startled and jumped towards my phone. It was already 7:30 in the morning—I was late again!

In a rush, I hurriedly made my way to the bathroom and took a quick shower. I couldn't bear the thought of being late, especially on only my second day of college. After freshening up, I quickly dressed and tried my best to look presentable, despite the haste.

Dali-dali naman ako nag tungo sa kusina at kumuha lang toasted bread at nag timpla ng Milo.

"Shit! Late na naman ako nito"

Napahiyaw naman ako biglang pag ring ng phone ko.

Sarah's calling.....

Sinagot ko naman ito,

["Hey, beshy? San kana ba?"]

Tanong nito, kahapon lang kami nagkakilala sa canteen tapos ngayon beshy na ang tawag sa akin.

"Papunta na waitttt, on the way! Bye."

Pinatay ko naman ang phone ko at nagmamadali nang umalis sa dorm.

Upon arriving at the classroom, I saw students waiting outside. Some were engaged in conversations, while others looked lost in thought. Uncertain about whom to approach para mag tanong kung saan ba yung room 305, nang biglang may lalakeng lumapit sa akin.

"You're late again, Ms. You."

Nginitian ko naman siya, maganda na nga yung araw ko mas lalo pang gumanda dahil nakita ko na naman siyang malapitan.

"Sorry Sir, napasarap kasi tulog ko."

Napayuko naman ako at may kasamang ngiti sa labi ko. Shit lang! Bat kasi ang pogi niya.

"Don't talk if you didn't even ask for permission to talk!"

Nga pala nakalimutan ko, napaka kalimutin ko naman talaga eh.

"Sorry, Sir. It won't happen again."

Seryoso naman ito tumingin sa akin na para bang sinusuri bawat parte ng sarili ko, nakaka-ilang naman yung ganito.

"Okay, go to your class. You're late for your first-period class. Luckily, it's not a major one."

Napatango naman ako, aalis na sana ako biglang na alala ko yung Room 305 San nga ba iyon?

"Wait, Sir?"

Napalingon naman ito at tinignan ako ng pagtatanong.

"Permission to ask."

Hay nako pag ganito pa edi mas lalo talaga akong lelate what if Di siya mag agree. Hays

"Go ahead, what is it?"

Napangiti naman ako sa kaniya na tila na-iilang siya sa ngiti ko kaya tinuon niya yung atensyon nya sa ibang direction.

"Saan po rito yung Room 305, Sir?"
