Chapter Two
I keep on glancing at my wrist watch dahil baka malate kami sa orientation, and I am not a fan of going late sa mga important events. It's already 11:15 in the morning, at nandito pa rin kami sa open fountain, we're still waiting sa iba pa naming classmates.
Jean and Hannahrie are now talking about makeup brands and giving their own opinion. Miguel and I are just listening to them and giving our opinion from time to time when they asked us.
"Guys, punta na tayo sa audi?" Marielle asked. Napatingin naman lahat sa kaniya. I glanced at my wrist watch again and look for the time, 11:25 na pala. It will take us 15 minutes papuntang main auditorium.
"Wait lang guys, nagpapaantay si Rusty." Saad ni Hannahrie na hawak na ngayon ang cellphone niya at busy mag reply doon.
"Nasan na ba siya?" Tanong ni Marielle na bakas ang irita sa boses. I was just watching and listening to them kaya naman nakita ko na tumaas ang kilay ni Hannahrie base sa pagkakatanong ni Marielle.
"5 minutes daw. Kung di ka makapag-antay pwede ka ng mauna." Hannahrie calmly replied. Her face was now void with any emotion. Napailing na lang ako dahil hindi pa nga nagsisimula ang pinaka klase namin ay mukhang magkakaroon na ng quarrel.
Hindi rin naman umalis si Marielle kahit na sinabi na ni Hannahrie na pwede na siyang mauna. We waited for Rusty to come, and after 5 minutes we saw two guys approaching our way.
"Hi, sorry sa paghihintay samin, naabutan ng traffic eh." The guy explained. He's wearing a black and white stripes polo shirt, black jeans, and a pair of white Nike Air Force 1'07.
"Tara na." Hannahrie abruptly said while looking on the other guy. We just nodded and started walking. Sabay na naglakad sila Jean at Hannahrie. Habang si Miguel naman ay sumabay doon sa dalawang bagong dating. Hindi ko nga lang alam kung sino doon yung Rusty.
I was busy walking alone and minding my own business. I immersed myself in appreciating the sceneries, buildings, and even the rooms that we passed by.
"Dhanna!" I heard Miguel called my name. Nauna kasi akong maglakad sa kanila. Huminto ako at bumaling sa kanila. I glanced at them, and there I saw the stripe guy staring intently at me.
"Yup?" I asked him. Sumenyas ito na lumapit ako sa kanila. I walked towards their direction.
"Dhanna, this is Rusty." Pagpapakilala ni Miguel sa amin. I smiled at him and offered my hands.
"Hi, Dhanna Alexandria Verturo." Pagpapakilala ko. Hindi ko magets bakit hindi kami huminto sa paglalakad, para magpakilala sa isa't isa.
"Hi, Rusty Jay Tolentino." Pagpapakilala rin nito and then we shake our hands.
"Janssen Fabian." Pagpapakilala din ng kasama niya kanina. I smiled at him too at nakipag shake hands din.
We continued to walk hanggang sa makarating kami sa main auditorium. We have to sign up first sa registration sa may tapat ng auditorium bago kami pinapasok sa loob. Nang makapasok ay agad namin nakita sila Jean at Hannahrie na nag reserve ng upuan para saming apat.
Naunang maglakad si Janssen at tumabi ito ng upo kay Hannahrie. We followed them kaya naman ang naging pwesto namin ay ganito; Jean – Hannahrie – Janssen – Miguel – Rusty – at ako.
There's still a vacant seat beside me, kaya naman ng may lumapit dito at nagtanong kung may nakaupo na ba ay umiling lang ako.
"Hi, Lucille right?" Tanong ni Miguel sa katabi ko. Siya na at ang Mr. Congeniality dahil halos lahat ay binati na niya at halos kilala niya.
