Astrea
Examination week na, I rarely go out sa condo since I moved here, if I do, it always has something to do with the Restaurant, hapon hanggang alas diyes ng gabi ang trabaho ko doon. Then if I don't have a class, diretso uwi na ako sa bahay to study.
At dahil papalapit na rin yung Contest na sasalihan ko ay pinagawan naman ako ni Tita Sandra ng sarili kong photo studio sa isang kwarto dito sa Unit.
Hindi ko nga alam kung sino 'yung magiging model ko dahil ayaw naman ni Tatum. Hindi daw ito mahilig sa mga gan'yan. And in 3 weeks time, it will be the deadline of the contest. Naisip ko nga na si Georgina nalang yung maghanap tutal siya naman ang naglagay sa'kin sa ganitong sitwasyon.
Pagayak na ako papunta sa campus, it's just a 5-minute walk kaya hindi ko na rin ginamit ang sasakyan ko.
Malapit na ako sa main entrance nung makita ko ang pamilyar na sasakyan ni Professor Del Mundo, but what I didn't expect was to see Khione in the passenger seat. Before I could even react, I lost sight of them as they entered the parking lot.
It's been days since I kept on seeing them together, I could even hear murmurs from other students about their closeness. Maybe what she told me that night at the playground helped her realize what she really wants to do. After weeks of seeing her in that state, she's happily smiling again whenever Khione's presence is there.
Ibang-iba talaga ang ngiti niya pag kasama ito.
Lalo na kahapon, when I saw the picture that Professor Del Mundo posted on her Facebook. They were out for lunch at kasama pa talaga si Moon. He doesn't seem happy either, he usually smiles when it's me— tangina, pati aso, nadadamay na, Astrea?
It's so frustrating.
Being friends with her on that app was not a good thing for me, dahil pagkabukas ko talaga ng Facebook kagabi, iyong post na 'yon kaagad ang bumungad sa'kin.
And now, seeing the two of them together is distracting me with my exams today. I can't get it off my mind, did Professor Del Mundo went to fetch her? Did something happened that made them seem closer than ever? But what about Professor Clemonte and Khione? I thought they might have a thing?
"Ms. Luceria, are you even listening?" Naputol ang pag-iisip ko nung tinawag ako ni Professor Torcio sa harap, "Tapos na ang alloted time for this exam, kailan ka pa magpapass?"
Shit.
That's when I noticed that I was the only student left here in the classroom, buti nalang at isang number nalang ang hindi ko pa nasasagutan kaya agad ko namang sinulat ang sagot ko.
"Ahh, sorry po." I hurriedly went over to his desk as I handed him my test paper.
"You seem distracted," He shook his head, "Next time, hindi na ako tatanggap lalo na pag late."
I nodded to acknowledge what he said before he left the room.
Isang buntong hininga lang nailabas ko bago bumalik sa upuan at ligpit ng mga pinanggamitan ko. I checked my phone the moment I got it out from my bag and saw that Tatum texted me.
Tatum

Papunta pa lang ako sa Bloom Garden ay nakita ko naman si Khione who seemed like she was crying. Hindi ko alam kung anong pumasok sa isip ko at sinundan ito.
