It's almost 10 PM pero ngayon lang natapos ang monthly evaluation. The three of us, we're on our way to the cafeteria to eat dinner. I'm hungry as hell, I think I can eat a whole cow. Fuck diet, I will never do that anymore.

When we arrived there, we sat on our usual spot. Near the main dishes' stall, beside the large glass window. I sat while the two left to order foods for us.

The cafeteria's interior was pretty amazing, actually the school in general. The whole place was huge, really huge as if you're entering a fine dining or a fancy restaurant. You could still see the signature color, crimson red, everywhere and it adds a vampirical touch. There are different stalls for different type of foods; there's one for main dishes, fruits, salads, desserts, and beverages and there's at least one skilled chef to give us free portion of anything that we want.

Everything's free. We are free to get what we need to survive everyday. We have no problem in tuition fees because the institution was handled by the government. Why? Because the government needs us, they will benefit from us, not now but someday.

Actually, there's no such thing as prohibited here. Everything is your choice. If you did something wrong, then face the consequences all by yourself.

You have a failing mark on midterms? Work harder.

You trust the wrong people? Then witness your walls falling apart.

Might feel a little scary and risky to just decide all by yourself, but that's the reality. If you can't stand on your own, who's gonna do it for you?

"Binugbog mo na nga ako kanina, ginawa mo pa akong waiter," reklamo ni Ford sabay lapag ng tray sa table ko. I only shrugged at him.

"Ford, this is not beef steak. It's pork!" Hadley looked devastated and disappointed at the same time. I looked at her plate. She couly easily identify just by glancing once?

"Well, I told you na ikaw na ang kumuha sa main dishes. Oh, saan ka pumunta? Sa dessert area dahil lang sa favorite mong red velvet cake," singhal ni Ford. "Tapos ngayon magrereklamo," he continued by making faces.

"Hate you."

"Bagay sa 'yo 'yan, baboy ka naman."

"Excuse me, Hendrix? Ang sexy ko namang baboy."

"Baboy ka pa rin, Farell." Pang-aasar ni Ford at inilabas ang dila niya para mas lalo pang maasar si Hadley. Napapikit ako sa inis, kanina pa nagtatalo ang dalawang 'to. They're getting on my nerves! Why are they bickering all the time? 

"Fuck you, Ford."

Ibinaba ko ang kutsara ko sa pinggan matapos magsalita ni Hadley, nakalikha lamang ng munting ingay ang ginawa ko ngunit sapat na 'yon para tumigil sa pagsasalita ang dalawa. Diretsyo lamang akong nakatingin pero kitang-kita ko sa gilid ng mata ko kung paano nila ako tingnan. Umiwas rin sila agad ng tingin at itinuon na lamang ang atensyon sa pagkain.
