CLÍODHNA EISDRACHEN POINT OF VIEW

I strolled down the hallway of the building, my sneakers softly tapping against the linoleum floor.

I dribbled the ball with my left hand, then switched to my right.

Hearing the swish of the net as I sank the shot.

Pero walang bola at walang ding ring. Sa imagination ko lang.

Shit. HAHAHAHA! Ang saya ko.

I felt a flutter in my chest as I thought of Hera's sleeping face, nestled in my arms.

Ganito pala ang feeling na may girlfriend.

Parang nalimutan ko na ang feeling maging single.

Kinikilig ako. Kinikilig ako.

Sabay kaming pumasok ng school ni Hera, 7:30 A.M siya papasok para sa time record habang 9 a.m ang klase ko. Okay lang, gusto kong tumambay sa office niya.

Magpagawa kaya ako ng sarili niyang office na mayroong sleeping area. Baka kasi antukin siya, para may tulugan siya in case lang.

Naglalakad ako ng matiwasay sa corridor ng may mga tumatawag sa akin.

"Hi Clio!"

"Good Morning Clio"

"Gandang Umaga Clio"

They smiled warmly at me, but I just smiled back and continued on my way, unlike before when I would stop to chat. I have a girlfriend now, so I shouldn't get too close to other women, especially when I see them grinning at me, like they're flirting.

I made my way to the cafeteria and found it mostly empty. An international student sat at a table, munching on a sandwich and reading a book. Habang iyong mga pinoy na nandirito ay tamang chismisan lang sa gilid.

"Ang gwapo talaga ni Luther no?" A girl in yellow shirt said while giggling.

"Ay oo, kaklase namin siya sa isang major subject. Ang bango din niya" The girl in denim jacket said.

"Pero off limit! Mukhang mag-jowa sila ni Athena Argente" The girl in yellow replied while scanning on her phone.

Naging magkasintahan naman talaga sila. Hindi ko na kailangang makinig pa.

"Pero wait, di'ba usap usapan after ng Wizard Event ang tungkol kay Athena at Clio? Magkahawak sila ng kamay noong nasa stage sila" A slim girl interjected while eating her bread.

What the fuck.

She was just trying to calm me down. Ang malisyoso ng mga tao, basta may mapag-usapan lang.

"Gaga! Nakita ko rin 'yan! Pero ang weird, sabi sa Accounting Department na mag-jowa si Professor Argente at si Clio. Edi ano 'yun? Tinuhog ang magkapati?" The girl in demin is confused.

Kumunot ang noo ko. Napako ang mga paa ko sa kinatatayuan ko. Nasa likod nila ako kaya hindi pa nila ako napapansin. 

"Girl... Ganoon siguro kung poganda, mayaman at matalino, nakukuha lahat ang babaeng gusto"
