The Separate Expectations [ALLS: #1]

Chapter 3: Project

Blair Zainiel Santiago

Maganda ang gising ko ngayong umaga dahil inuwi ako ng masungit na propesor ko, the one and only Demon Profesor of Galiard South University. Pero mas happy ako na wala akong pasok ngayon.

Pero bakit nga ba ako hinatid ni ma'am dito kagabi.

Flashback

"Ugh will you stop singing Santiago." Naiiritang sabi ni ma'am. Kinakanta ko kasi yung kanta na nasa playlist ko, pero pinatay nya ang radio.

"Why ma'am pangit po ba boses ko? Pag sinabi nyo pong hin-"

"Ang pangit ng boses mo Santiago." Naiinis na ata si ma'am dahil hindi pinatapos yung sasabihin ko.

"Ma'am hindi nyo pa pinatapos sasabihin ko sinagot nyo na ako. So pwede ko na kayong tawaging mahal ko?" Nakangisi sabi ko kay ma'am at biglang hininto ang kotse at tinignan ako ng masama.

"Don't flirt with me Santiago i don't like it." Nag sungit nanaman ang mabait na propesor na to. Nag the moves lang kasi ako.

"Mahal ko naman wag ka na magalit." Nagmamakaawang sabi ko sakanya pero inirapan lang ako.

Kaya binuksan ko ulit yung radio ng kotse nya at pinatugtog ko yung Despair by Leo.

'I've lost my cool, I'm not sure how to act Not even sure how I can keep my pride intact Well I don't know if this is it but can't you see? No I'm not falling for you, so please have mercy on me'

Tumingin ako sa window at makikita ang mga street lights na maganda na sa paningin ko. "We're going somewhere i already told your mother that you're with me." Sabi nya kaya napa lingon ako sakanya kasi paano nya nalaman yung number nang mama ko? "What? Pero paano mo nalaman number ni mama?" Tanong ko sakanya.

She just sighed at lumingon sa akin. "Basta wag mo na akong tanongin Santiago i don't want questions." Sabi nya na merong halong accent, shuta na fa-fall na ako dito sa Evil Professor na ito ah.

'Cause it's not romantic, I swear I'm not gasping for air I want you to be here, but please don't come near 'Cause even though I'm pretty sure my head's exploding I'm not ready for hand holding It's not love, I swear It might be closer to despair'

I need to act cool she's your Professor and you're her student, And mostly SHE'S STRAIGHT! Gosh you even said yourself that love is painful and over-rated ano ba kasi ang nangyayari sa akin bakit ako nagkaganito. Ginayuma ata ako nitong Profesorang ito.

'No I don't want you to teach me how to dance Get your heart away from me, you'll put me into a trance And even though I think about you day and night I'm not sure if this whole love thing sounds quite right'

Tumingin ako sakanya at shet naka ngiti, nababaliw nanaman puso ko dahil bumilis nanaman ang pag tibok nito. Bakit nga ba sya naka ngiti siguro naalala nya yung boyfriend nya.

"Stop staring at me Santiago that's disrespectful." Sinabi nya sa akin using her baritone voice. Hindi ko napansin na naka tingin ako sakanya kaya kaya lumingon ako sa window ng kotse nya, then i heard her giggle. "Alam mo nakakatawa ka talaga Santiago." Natatawang sabi nya and that made me smile.
