"Class dismissed."
I stood up and started to fix my things after our professor got out of our room.
"Sasabay ka ba mag lunch samin Ayi?"
One of my classmates said.
Umiling ako "Hindi, next time nalang, sasabay ako sa mga kaibigan ko eh."
She nooded and I got out of the classroom.
I looked around the hallway and saw my friends. Pumunta ako sa direction nila.
"Lunch na tayo?" I said.
They all nooded and we walked to a Cafe. Dun kami madalas nagtatambay pag walang masyadong gagawin.
We were eating all our food kasi kanina pa kami nagugutom nang may lumapit samin.
"Hi guys." Kayce said and smiled at us.
"Uy Kayce,Kanina ka pa?Sali ka samin." Ria said.
Kayce is Maya's cousin and medyo close din sya saamin kasi sumasama sya samin kapag nag memet-up kami kaya comfortable na kami sa kanya.
"Talaga?Kaso may kasama ako eh."
"Sama mo nalang din samin,diba okay lang naman sainyo?" I said and looked at them.
"Oo naman." Lei answered and we
all nooded.
"Wait tawagin ko lang." He said and walked away to us.
We continued eating as he walked away.
We looked up when Kayce got back sa table namin.
"Guys,si Ian nga pala." Kayce said and introduced a new guy to us.
"Hi." The guy said and biglang nalaglag ang panga ko. Ang gwapo nya at ang ganda pa nang boses.
Lord sya na ba?
"Uh,Ayi?" Tawag ni Ria sakin.
"Huh?" I looked at her confused.
"Hindi mo ba ipapakilala ang Sarili mo?"
"Ah right." I cleared my throat and looked at Maya.
I saw a smirk placed on her lips but I just rolled my eyes on her knowing she will just tease me about it.
"Umm,Ayianna." I said while looking at him. He just gave me a small nod.
Sumabay sila samin kumain at medyo natagalan kami kasi kwento ng kwento Sina Ria at Kayce kaya wala na kaming nagawa kundi hintayin nalang sila tutal mamaya pa din naman ang classes namin. We are all med students pero si Lei sa ibang school nagaaral. Gusto kasi nang Dad nya na sa Ateneo sya mag aral imbes na sa UST.
"See you next time." We all waved goodbye at them because 1 hour nalang class na namin except kay Lei dahil mamaya pang 4 pm last period nya and ayaw din namin ma late umalis na kami agad.
Nang makalabas kami sa restaurant ay nagpaalam Sina Maya at Ria na may bibilhin nagpaalam na din ako dahil may pupuntahan din ako.
"Una na kami Ayi." Ria said and I just nooded.

"Bakit ang low ng grades mo?Diba sinabi ko na dapat matataas grades mo every semester?!" Mom said raising her voice a little.
Yumuko ako habang pinipigilan ang mga luha ko na bumagsak. This thing happens every fucking time na lalabas yung mga grades ko. Palaging disappointed sina Mommy at Daddy kahit mataas naman yung grades ko.
"I'm sorry." I said.
"Sorry?Do you think your sorry can fix your grades!?" Mom said and shouted at me making me step back.
Sanay naman ako na palaging ganito pero hindi ko pa din mapigilan Ang Sarili ko.
"You better explain this to your dad." She said before she walked out leaving me.
Nang makalabas sya tumulo agad ang mga luha ko ngunit agad ko itong pinunasan at umalis para sa next period ko.
