Her Greatest Battle (Editing)

Round 13

Tok!

Tok!

Tok!

Naalimpungatan ako. Iminulat ko ko ang aking mata at nasilaw sa liwanag.

Kinapa ko ang phone sa bedside table.

Friday 6am.

"Shoot!" I bolted up from my bed.

"Sky?" tawag ni Dom sa labas ng kwarto ko.

"Yeah?"

"Buti naman at gising ka na. Kanina pa tumutunog yang alarm mo. Bilisan mo at malelate na tayo!"

"Oo na!" nagmadali akong naligo at nag-ayos.

30minutes passed at pasakay na kami ng kotse.

I yawned as I started the engine.

"You look tired. Pinapagod mo ang sarili mo sa pagtetrain."

I've been training hard these past days and today is the moment of truth.

"I need to. Hindi biro ng makakalaban ko mamaya. Don't worry, babawi ako ng pahinga after this."

"You should. Ayokong bumisita sa hospital."

Ndi ako umimik at nagpatuloy sa pagdadrive. Labinlimang minuto ang lumipas at nakarating kami sa school.

Naghiwalay kami ng daan. Naiba ang sched niya pero parehas halos lahat ng oras namin.

Dumating ako sa klase na andoon na halos ng classmates ko, si Ma'am nalang ang kulang.

I yawned again as I sat in my seat.

Shit, I'm feeling sleepy but I need to stay awake.

Yare na naman ako kay Ma'am kapag nagkataon.

Nagpahalumbaba ako habang hinihintay si Ma'am.

Ang tagal naman niya.

"Ms. Quintana."

Napamulat ako bigla dahil pamilyar na boses. Nakatayo siya harap ko.

"What did I say about falling asleep in my class?" mahinahon lang ang pagkakatanong niya.

"S-sorry Ma'am. Pagod lang."

"Stay after class." sabi niya lumakad pabalik sa unahan at nagturo muli.

I shook my head for the sleepiness to wore off.

I fell asleep without knowing it. I should probably hit the bed before 9pm.

The class ended and I stayed behind. When they were all gone, I approached her.

"You look like you haven't sleep well."

"Pagod lang talaga Ma'am. Pasensya na."

"Sky, we're friends right? You can talk to me if you want."

"Thanks Ma'am, I will keep that in mind. Anyways, I should get going. I still have class."

She nodded and gave me a smile.

Lumabas ako ng room.

"You two seems too close with each other."
