Loving a Spencer ✔

Chapter 32

Kept

Days pass quickly. Schoolwork kept me busy. That's why I didn't even realize that being away from home is lonely.

Architecture is hard, especially when you need to think of something extraordinary that will surpass people's imaginations.

I was staying at a dormitory, and it's so funny that other students here recognized me as the scholar girl.

Being surrounded by rich people motivated me to keep on pursuing my dreams. I don't feel envy. In fact, I'm so blessed to know more than what they know in life.

They say they never experienced being poor, but in my opinion, I can experience both. From rags to riches. I can do that because I have this so-called goal in life.

My family and my girlfriend have been my inspiration to keep doing a good job even though I'm alone.

Speaking of girlfriend, we haven't seen each other in a while now. Our last interaction was when we went on a date in Palawan after her job there. And that was two months ago.

I kind of miss her, but I don't want to disturb her because she's busy on her own. That's why I'm just always sending her a message, which she replies to with a beautiful selfie of herself at her workplace, which is their hotel and resort in Treasure Town.

"Antonío?"

"Present po."

Buti nalang alerto ang utak ko kahit pa madami akong iniisip. Nag a-attendance na pala at madami dami na din kaming estudyante na nasa classroom.

Actually may mga eksena pa din naman na may nalelate pero sadyang kapag mayaman ka yata wala naman pakealam yung ibang professors kung late ka o hindi.
Basta ako inaayos ko yung buhay ko dahil ayaw kong mawala yung scholarship na meron ako.

"Good morning."

I look at my side and smile back at her. She's this beautiful classmate of mine, and she was sitting beside me because she said that I should be comfortable.

"Hindi mo na naman tanda yung name ko no?"

Bumaba ang mga mata ko sa ID na suot nya pero tinakpan nya iyon at ngumisi.

"Hindi mo nga tanda. Grabe ka talaga. Dalawang buwan mo na akong katabi hindi mo pa ako kilala."

Hindi ko alam kung nagtatampo sya o sadyang nang aasar lang sya.

I know her, but I can't say her name correctly.

Nasa dulo ng dila ko pero hindi ko talaga mabigkas. Nakakainis naman.

"Sorry, sino ka nga ulit?"

Medyo mahina nalang yung usapan namin dahil baka matanaw at marinig kami ng prof namin na nag didiscuss sa unahan.
Nakakahiya naman ma mention sa microphone.

"I'm Juno Carolina San Juan. But you can call me Carol,"- she groans and furrows her brows. "Keep that in mind. So that I won't introduce myself again when you see me."

"Okay po."

Bigla naman nya akong pinalo sa balikat na ikinalaki ng mata ko. Muntik pa nga ako mapasigaw pero buti nalang napigil ko.

"W-why?"

"Wala, ang cute mo lang."

Nakangiti na syang humarap sa unahan habang nag susulat. Napailing nalang ako. Unpredictable talaga ang magaganda.

"Good evening po. Ito na po ba lahat?"

"Yes, Miss."
