Chapter 13: Decode

Thursday, August 23, 2018, 10:00 PHT

Last Friday night, I talked to Sofia to apologize for giving her a bad attitude. We talked about it and she also said sorry for being insensitive for mentioning Javi to my face. I told her it was okay and that I knew they blocked Javi in their Facebook accounts.

I asked them when they blocked Javi, and they told me on the next day of my birthday. That was July 25, supposedly, that's our 43rd monthsary. Anyway, I've been Javi-free since Monday this week. I've got many things to do kaya ang laman ng isip ko ay matapos ang gawain ko sa school. I am thankful for having many assignments.

The days had passed really quick. Parang last week lang assembly ang kaganapan dito sa gym ngayon naman puro PE class na. Today's the first meeting of PE classes. Four classes ang nandito sa loob ng gym kaya mabuti na lang at malaki ito kaya kasya ang apat na klase at maluwag pa.

Yesterday, I was with Eric at lunchtime when I saw Lucas at the university food court. Sabay silang nag-lunch noong parati niyang kasama. They were just on the table next to ours, at ito si Eric papansin ng papansin. Well, actually, lagi namang maingay si Eric kasi nga Miss Friendship siya. Good thing hindi kami nilingon nila Lucas, nakakahiya rin kasi 'yon.

"Ang tagal naman ni Sir." Angal ng classmate ko.

"Ano ka ba, okay lang 'yon para makapag-fb pa tayo." Sabi pa ng isa.

Tahimik lang ako na nasa harap sa bandang dulo ng bleacher malapit sa hagdan. As usual, tahimik lang ako kasi wala pa akong gaanong kaclose na classmates ko.

"Excuse me, ikaw 'yung Francesca di'ba?" May kumalabit sa akin sa likod ko kaya hinarap ko siya.

"Yes, why?"

"I am Daniela, baka kasi hindi mo natandaan name ko. Anyway, may pamusod ka pa ba? Sabi kasi iaabsent daw kapag hindi nakapusod." She pouted her lips. She's pretty, anyway. Kahawig nga niya si Maine Mendoza.

"Here, you can take it." Binigyan ko siya ng pamusod na galing sa bulsa ng PE short ko.

"Thanks, girl! I owe you ha!" She giggles at me. "Ay andyan na pala siya." She made a sad face while tying her hair.

I return my gaze at the front of the single table. Our PE teacher finally arrived, and he was giving us an apologetic smile.

"Good morning, class. I'm really sorry, I am late, napakwento lang ng bahagya sa guard natin d'yan sa main gate ng school. Anyway, BSEd ano nga ulit 'tong class n'yo?" He said while putting the mini speaker on the table. May dala rin siyang microphone na naka-connect na sa speaker.

"BSEd 1-A po, Sir." We said in unison.

"Okay, 1-A. I am Mr. Marcelino H. Legaspi, your instructor for PE 100." He introduced himself. He starts telling us where he graduated his elementary, high school and college. Tumatawa ako tuwing magbabato siya ng joke pero ang totoo hindi ako nakikinig dahil pinagmamasdan ko ang ibang class na nagkaklase rin ngayon sa gym.

My eyes widened when I saw a familiar face from the class across to our class. Wala pa silang instructor kaya medyo naglilisaw-lisaw ang iba sa gym.

That's him! The guy who is always with Lucas. Wait, if that guy is here, it means there's a possibility na nandito rin si Lucas!

I didn't disappoint myself when I concluded na nandito rin si Lucas. I am looking at the tall white guy whose eyes are chinky slanted walking down the gym into his class. He looks so cool wearing his PE uniform. Sobrang puti niya talaga ha, pati ang tuhod maputi.
