Chapter 12

"Eto oh..kain ka pa."

Irita kong sinulyapan si Matt na panay ang abot sakin ng pagkain, bumili ito ng pringles sa canteen kanina bago magsimula ang orientation na siyang pinagkaka-abalahan niya ngayn at sinusubo pa sa mismong bibig ko.

I was typing on my phone sa mga importanteng anunsyo but I accidenatlly glided my fonger so it proceeded to my previous note, and it was a poem.

I'm on the hallway,

When will he come my way?

When will I tell,

My feelings, they dwell.

He walked past me,

Without taking a glance.

But for a while,

His name I scribble in my hand.

I immediately hid my phone as I read it. I'm nervous someone might have seen so I checked if may nakakita nga. I let out a sigh of relief and glanced at my friends.

On my right is Alexza and the girls, except for Herriah dahil nasa kabilang side ito ng gym, kasama ang iba rin niyang mga kaibigan. Matt is beside me followed by Roi, Crest, and Vinn. Nasa kanila pa rin ang mga gamit ko at hindi pinapakawalan.

"May I remind you students...you must be wearing your complete school uniform by Monday, I repeat, Mondays and Wednesdays you will wear your gala, and Tuesdays and Thursday you will wear your respective strand shirts. Understood? Friday will be a free day for you but make sure that your clothes are school appropriate." Mr. Del Real, one of the senior high teachers is leading the orientation. Siya rin ang nagsimula nito and I'm guessing nasa one-fourth na kami ng program.

My phone rang so I excused myself to answer it. I walked out of the gym at napasandal sa pader sa likod nito.

"Hi Elliot."

I heard him groan and uttered a soft curse.

"Where's your manners, Gregory Elydaise?" he said with an annoyed tone.

"Nasaan rin yung sa'yo? Why did you even let Matt register me? I didn't say yes." I said in a monotone.

"Oh you still will." I heard him chuckle.

"How sure are you?"

"Mom bought you a whole drum set, it's delivered at home." He paused and I gasped for air from shock. "When she heard that Matt's recruiting you, she thought of giving you a set at home. Gusto rin nyang makita ka na mag-perform, like me." Then he chuckled. "But, we both know I'm better."

"I haven't even started yet!" My voice raised a bit. He's so cocky, kapatid ko ba to?

"Kaya nga ipakita mo kung sino ka." Humor is still evident from his voice.

"Damn! Fine! Tuturuan mo ako, so you better come home every weekend!" I demanded then I cut off the call.

I calmed myself for a bit and about to go back inside the gym when I heard voices talking. I pretend to text someone, but I actually am dahil nag message si kuya.

"Ex mo yun diba..?"

"Ano ulit name niya?"

"Yung humss?"
