Kate's POV
Ang tagal naman ng taxi. Kanina pa ako nandito sa school. Halos isa't kalahating oras na ako pero tatlo palang ata ang taxi na dumadaan. Hindi ko rin alam kung saan ako sasakay ng jeep kasi medjo liblib yung lugar ng school. Though this is a university pero parang hindi naman ganoon kasikat sa Pilipinas.
Pinag-aral lang naman ako dito nila mommy dahil masyado na daw akong spoiled. Kailangan ko daw matuto makisama sa iba at matutunan na wag mag-inarte sa buhay, but it is okay. Since nakatiis naman ako nang apat na taon at ilang buwan na lang naman ay matatapos na ako sa kursong financial management,
"Hey, Kate!"
Napataas ako ng tingin sa tumawag sa akin. I saw Lloyd, my thesis partner.
"Hi Lloyd." I gave a half smile. Hindi naman kasi talaga kami close nito. Ewan ko nga kung bakit niya ako pinili bilang thesis partner. Siguro ay alam niya na nag-aaral talaga ako ng mabuti o baka naman wala lang gusto kumampi sa kanya dahil sa ugali niyang misteryoso.
Lumapit siya sa akin. "I guess, kanina ka pa dito. Yung mukha mo kasi hindi na maganda kasi nakasibangot na. Unlike kanina nung first class natin."
I rolled my eyes st him, "Obvious ba? Naiinis nga ako sa driver namin kasi hindi daw ako masusundo because my dad has an errands to do. I always do the sacrifice here."
"Not anymore," Masiglang sambit ni Lloyd kaya napakunot noo ako. "I'll give you a ride nalang. Tutal we haven't talk that much. We usually talk about academics lang."
Bahagya akong nag-isip.
It's not that, I do not trust this guy but I never had a casual conversation with him and yes, as what he said, aside from acads, we never talked.
I just gave a shrug and stood up. He follows na rin naman as soon as I start walking to the parking lot area.
"So, beside sa pagiging face of the university and being a consistent dean's lister ano pa ang ipinagmamalaki ng isang 'The Katelyn Jaz Madriaga'?" Sabi niya pero nainis lang ako.
"I don't know," Kumunot noo ako. "Are you serious?"
Tumago siya at ngumiti, "Yes, I am serious. Ano pa ba ang hidden title mo?"
Bahagya akong napangiti.
"What's with that smile, huh?" He said. Nakatingin pala siya sa'akin.
I shook my head. "Nothing. So, here's your auto?" I said. I gazed around the parking area.
"Ah, yes." He taps his black tinted top-sider car. "Gift ito sa'akin ni papa nung high school graduation. Pinagpipilian ko nga kung eto o yung pang adventure na car pero I ended up choosing this one. Mas classic kasi." He explained.
