Scholar Series 2: Agreement (COMPLETED)

Chapter 2

I WOKE UP feeling light-headed. Well, maganda kasi ang panaginip ko. I dreamt that I am happily dating a beautiful woman. And guess who? It's Loise! Yes, it's freakin' Loise! Vance's sister.

"Leif, ano pang ginagawa mo diyan? We're getting late. Bangon na. Tapos na akong kumain at maligo." Napabangon ako nang marinig ko ang sinabi ni Skye.
I hurriedly went to the bathroom and took a bath. Iyon na yata ang pinakamabilis na ginawa kong pagligo sa buong buhay ko.

I didn't dare to eat breakfast because we're now freakin' late. It's only five minutes before our first class starts.

Nagpalit ako kaagad at humarap sa salamin para magsuklay. Well, I want to look handsome always.

We were both panting when we arrived at the university. When I looked at my wrist watch, we're already late. Nagsisimula na ngayon ang unang klase namin.

I looked at Skye who was busy wiping his face. "Late na tayo." Nakasimangot kong sabi sa kanya.

"I know. Hayaan mo na, pasok na lang tayo." Sagot niya sa akin.

Pareho kaming bagsak ang balikat habang tinatahak ang daan patungo sa classroom.

"You're late." We both stopped when I heard Clove's voice.

He was in his uniform, looking neatly with his clean cut hair, and in the pocket of his uniform is the student council's badge. He was holding a blue notebook, wearing his strict face.

Oh, I forgot, he's our President pala.

"I will write your name here but don't you worry, this is just a warning. H'wag niyong hahayaan na makikita ko kayo ulit na late because sa detention room ang abot niyo." Then he looked at me, "And you, after your breaktime, go to my office, I have something for you to do. Don't worry, wala kayong schedule pagkatapos ng breaktime so akin ka muna." He grinned then winked at me then he left.

I was dumbfounded.

Hindi niya man lang ba naisip na napagod ako kahapon kakalinis tapos ngayon kailangan na naman niya ako?

Nang makarating kami sa klase ay nagpaumanhin kami sa propesor dahil sa pagiging late namin. Mahaba habang sermon ang inabot namin at kalauna'y pinaupo niya rin kami.

I was jotting down notes while our Professor was discussing our lesson. After an almost two hours of lecturing, breaktime came.

I stretch my arm and massage my fingers. Napagod yata ako sa dami ng isinulat ko.

Nang makarating kami sa cafeteria, madami na ring mga estudyante doon. Mahaba haba na ang pila sa unahan.

Kumuha muna kami ng mauupuan bago mag-order. "Anong gusto mo?" Tanong sa akin ni Skye saka tumayo na.

"Clubhouse sandwich saka pineapple juice. Ikaw na ang pipila ha. Tinatamad ako eh."

"Sure." Aniya saka umalis na. Pumila na siya doon sa harap ng counter.

Mahigit tatlong minuto ang nakalipas bago siya bumalik sa pwesto namin. He was holding a gray tray which contains our snacks.

I was munching the clubhouse burger when he asked, "What did you do yesterday?"

"Saan?"

"Sa office ni Clove." Then a grin crept on his lips. Hah, malisyoso!

"Naglinis. Kung alam mo lang, pagod na pagod ako." Sagot ko at nilantakan muli ang pagkain na nasa harap ko.

"Siya nga pala, aalis na ako. Baka mahuli lang ako ng ilang segundo mamaya ay dadagdagan niya ang ipapagawa niya sa akin." Paalam ko sa kanya. Isinukbit ko na ang bag ko sa aking likuran at tinungo ang office ni Clove.
