A Path to Where?

C. 1

"Where are you going?"

"Bedroom, I couldn't focus at all cuz' my eyes kept on drifting to you"

I shut close the book I was reading. I'm tired. I don't know anything else that I could do to relieve this boredom. Tinabi ko ang librong binabasa ko at lumabas ng kwarto para kumain. It's past lunch, pero now pa lang ako kakain. Pagtapos kong kumain ay niligpit ko ang pinagkainan ko at tsaka bumalik ng kwarto.

I'm bored. D*mn, wala bang pwedeng gawin? "I wanna go out, but where to? I don't have friends I could hang out with." I mumbled to myself. They all have their own world. Pano ba gumala?

Maya maya pa ay nag ring ang phone ko. A call from our group chat.

"Tin, tapos nyo na ba yung chapter 4 nyo?" Bungad sakin ng kaibigan kong si Mazy.

"Almost, the others are working on it? Why?" I asked.

"Beh, hindi ko maintindihan yung sa calculation" Mazy asked as if she was about to cry.

"Anong calculation? San ba? Explain ko." I asked getting up from my bed and walked to my study table.

"Yung diba, after mag tally ng responses, may calculation na gagawin diba?" She explained. "Pano ba yun?"

"Jan pa lang kayo?" I asked shocked raising an eyebrow as if she could see it. How the hell they're not making any progress with their research.

"Oo beh, stress nako."

I explained and helped her with the calculation she asked me. I also explained to her the other parts of the chapter, to how and what else she needed to do. After explaining things, I watched an anime for the rest of the day. This is my life and I got nothing else to do aside from school, home, school and home. It's like a repetition of the day, just minor changes. There's no thrill in my life, just full of ordinary and common things. Isn't my life too boring? Too plain? I wish I could atleast know pano gumala. D*mn weekends.

Kriiiiiiinnnnng .... Kriiiiiiinnnnng... *noise of alarm clock*

"Ugh, my head hurts." I grumbled reaching for my phone to turn off the alarm. I'm not a morning person and yet I have to attend school this early morning. I couldn't even get a proper sleep last night.

"Though, I'm glad it's weekdays now. Atleast I have something to do now." I mumbled. "Or so I hope." I thought to myself and hurried myself to the bathroom.

After doing my morning routine, lumabas ako ng kwarto ko at naabutan si Mama na naghahanda ng almusal.

"Ma, Good Morning." Bati ko.

"Dalian mo, kumain ka na at male-late ka na naman." Mom said, placing a plate in front of me.

"Si Andrei po?" I asked, shoving the food to my mouth.

"Pumasok na kanina pa, at may Flag ceremony daw sila, ikaw dalian mo at huli ka na naman." She scolded. Hindi naman lagi e, minsan lang, ang aga naman kasi ng pasok.

"Siya na Morning person." I mumbled.

"Ah, masakit" Reklamo ko dahil binatukan ako ng nanay ko.

"Sabihin mo tamad ka lang bumangon. Dalian mo jan ang dami mo pang dada." Sermon nya. Binalisan ko ang pagkain ko dahil konti na nga lang naman ay male-late na naman ako.

"Alright, I'm done. Alis na po ako." Paalam ko sabay tayo at mabilis na lumabas ng kusina.

"Dalian mo." Sigaw nito nang makalabas ako ng kusina.
