Twenty-Fifth Glitch

V A U G H N

Last night was like a dream. Seriously, I hugged Ezplasa shit? Ugh. Maybe my words don't know how to comfort, but  that single action speaks.

I just want to help. No, not help. We are responsible for this. Persons from Foxtrot left without the whole clue. What if ang malapit o kilala na iyon ay ang best friend ni Candary?

I'm on my way to a deep sleep when I read her chat. Without any hesitation, even if I'm just wearing a night mode clothes, I went in her place. Bahala na. I always look messy but smells pleasant. Sakto namang nagkasalubong kami sa palabas ng kanto nila.

I heard from someone, kapag hindi ka raw masyadong kinakabahan, ay hindi totoo ang mangyayaring naiisip mo na hindi maganda. I wish that was true. I wish that Teffy girl is just hosting a prank show. So that, Candary's heart will get fine. I don't have someone like that—Teffy, but I understand the tense, the fear of losing someone dear to you. Kumusta na kaya siya? Does she gotten enough sleep?

"Maganda pa ako sa morning Vaughn-Vaughn!" Vill greeted me with a huge smile on his face showing his single dimple. Our final exam for Big History will exactly start at 09:30 AM.

It's my second test for this day and my last. I also took our major subject's exam earlier. Medyo wala pa nga sa kondisyon ang utak ko. Solving at 07:30 in the morning. Cruel.

I forced a smile as I sat near Vil's arm chair. Magkakahiwalay na ang mga bangko gaya ng nakaugalian kada may exam. Marami-rami na rin ang tao rito sa loob ng room.

"Luh, ang sungit naman this boy!" He act putting his imaginary long hair behind his ear. He then crossed his arms.

"Ano?" Baritono kong tanong.

"Anti-social mo! 'Di ka sumama sa group study namin noon. Sana natikman mo ang cookie ko! Ahahahahaha!" Tumayo siya at binuhat ang armchair niya palapit sa akin.

"Just anti-bullshit. I can study on my own." I took my ballpen out from my pocket, and play it with my fingers as I reclined my back.

"Ebarg ka! Penge namang talino Vaughn-knight!" He then roamed his eyes." Wait, wala pa si Ary bakla?"

Yeah she's not yet here. Even the exam will start in less than ten minutes from now.

The sound of the doorknob caught our attention. The door opened and it welcomed our professor with his lazy aura. Vil immediately placed his armchair on its original position. Inilapag na ni sir ang mga bitbit na test papers sa mesa sa harap. He then asked kung wala na bang hinihintay. Stupid. May oras pa naman.

Ilang sandali pa ay nagsimula na ang exam. Good thing, to lessen the bad mood, his aura gives, hindi na true or false ang exam ngayon. He have a conscience now.

I'm about to answer the second page, when I heard Candary's voice apologizing to our prof because of coming late. I incontinently bang my eyes on my test paper, when my inner self feel her gazes at me. Umupo na rin siya sa natitirang seat sa last row matapos no'n.
