Some Tears Must Fall (Rain On Me Series #1)

26

It's already Wednesday. Kakatapos lang nung research namin so naging busy 'rin ako. Nagpalit na ulit ako ng uniform bago lumapit kila Lexi.

"Congrats sa'tin! Success!"

"Wala ka namang tinulong." Andrei scolded at Lexi. Ayan na, magsisimula nanaman 'yung banagayan nila.

"Ang kapal mo, ako kaya 'yung nag type sa ppt." Lexi rolled her eyes.

"Nagtype ka lang, kami kaya 'yung nag isip sa research paper. Introduction palang ang hirap na." Andrei crossed his arms. Ngayon pa sila nagaway kung kailan tapos na.

"Let's go! Celebrate na!" Gray approach us. Lumapit s'ya sa amin ni Andrei, then inakbayan n'ya kami.

"You go first." tamad 'kong sabi.

"Yan ka nanaman wala ng tatakas." Jameson joined our conversation, kadarating n'ya lang din. Nasa likod naman n'ya si Gwen, tumabi s'ya sa'kin tapos humawak s'ya sa braso ko.

"Ang pangit mong kabonding." singhal ni Andrei sa'kin. Kala mo s'ya magandang kasama, boring n'ya kaya.

"Anong meron, Aly?" Gwen looked at me, curiously.

"Tapos na 'yung thesis nila Marcus so, I'm going to congratulate him first." paliwanag ko.

"Ikaw pa naman 'yung nagbuhat sa research natin kaya hindi ka pwedeng ma-late. Bawal ba sa chat nalang?" Lexi pouted. She's using her puppy eyes so she can convince me.

"Mas maganda kung in person." Jameson answered Lexi, he's absolutely right.

"Exactly." I nooded. Is this the first time that I agreed on what my cousin says? I assume it is. I missed him so badly. Puro chat nalang 'yung ginawa namin ni Marcus in the past few days so gusto ko din siyang makita.

"Aba, kailan pa kayo nagkaunawaan?!" Gray look shocked because of what he heard. Kahit ako din, may nakain 'ata si Jameson kaya medyo umaangat. Joke.

"I need to go just text me the location later." I waved my hand. I took my bag and went outside.

"Bye-bye!" I heard Lexi's voice. Hindi na 'ko lumingon at pinagpatuloy ko na ang paglalakad ko.

I took my phone out of my pocket. I texted Marcus first to inform him that I'm going to his classroom. Naghintay pa 'ko ng five minutes para sa reply n'ya pero hindi s'ya nag reply. I also called him but his phone was cannot be reached so I decided to to go there.

"Alyson!" I heard Athena's voice. Naglakad s'ya papunta sa direksyon ko.

"Shh, magkalapit lang tayo. Can you please low your voice." Saway ko. Magkalapit lang kami pero ang lakas ng boses n'ya.

"Hindi ka pa nasanay. By the way, pupuntahan mo si Nicus?" She asked.

"Yeah, ngayon 'yung tapos ng thesis nila 'di ba?" Tango ko.

Biglang kumunot 'yung noo niya. Pati 'yung mukha niya mukhang naguguluhan dahil sa sinabi ko. "Huh? Nung monday pa 'yun ah."

"Is that so?" Takang tanong ko. Akala ko ngayon.

"Yup, according to Enzo," tango niya. Binigyan n'ya ko ng makabuluhang tingin bago muling nagsalita. "Marcus didn't tell you?"

"No, maybe he forgot." saad ko nalang. But it's already Wednesday, as if naman na makalimutan niya.

"Nandoon pa ata s'ya sa classroom nila, puntahan mo nalang s'ya." Athena suggested.

"How about you?" Tanong ko pabalik.

"Maagang umalis si Enzo kanina, may gig daw sila." nakangiti niyang saad. Basta talaga pagdating sa lalaking 'yon, abot tainga 'yung ngiti n'ya. "Puntahan ko na sila Margot, alam mo na, celebrate daw tayo. H'wag kang malalate mamaya ah."
