Nicole's POV

Nakarating ako ng medyo late sa event ng school para magpractice with Kia ng last day for university week sayawan night because some of our profs chose us to be the emcee. Actually next week pa naman yung last day I don't know anong trip nila na next week ang sayawan night kung ngayon naman ang university week pero okay lang at least hindi pa ako masyadong kinakabahan.

"It's a pleasant evening everyone,... we are your host for tonight I am Nicole from the faculty of engineering,"

"And I'm Kia from the faculty of science,"

Our practice went smoothly since we have chemistry naman. I saw some people looking at me with judging eyes and I don't even know why.

"A-re you okay?" naiilang na tanong ni Kia.

"Of course, why?" natatawa kong tanong sakanya.

"You aren't affected?" gulat niyang tanong.

"About what?" naguguluhan kong tanong sakanya.

Lately kasi I don't open my other accounts except for telegram where my friends message me. I don't know, I just feel like I don't want to open my accounts.

"You don't know anything?" gulat niya ulit na tanong.

"Nicole!" tawag ni Kiro sakin.

"Why?"

"Tawag tayo ni Mr. Alvarez," he said.

"Excuse me, puntahan ko lang mga block mates ko." pagpapaalam ko kay Kia at sinundan si Kiro papunta sa booth ng Engineering department.

Nasakto na tumayo ako sa tabi ni Sean. Mr. Alvarez just discusses things about our booth and I can't even understand him because I'm so focused on Sean na malalim ang iniisip ngayon habang nakatingin kay, Mr.Alvarez. I don't know kung malalim ang iniisip niya or nakikinig siya sakanya.

"Nicole," tawag ni Mr.Alvarez sakin at nilapitan ang pwesto namin ni Sean.

"Y-yes po?" nanginginig ang boses kong tanong dahil naalala ko nanaman ang nangyari samin kagabi. Sobrang takot ko ay buong gabi hindi ako nakatulog buti napang kahit isang oras nakaidlip ako kaya medyo nalate ako kanina.

"Did you already had lunch?"

"Uh...maglulunch po kami ni..." iniisip ko kung sino ang pangalan na sasabihin ko. Hindi pwede si Angelo at Sandy dahil wala naman sila "..Sean po,"

"What?!" halata sa mukha ni Sean ang gulat ng marinig niya ang pangalan niya.

"Then I'll come with the two of you."-Mr.Alvarez

I looked at Sean who is confused right now. I am hoping that he would save me because I don't know anymore what should I do kapag naiwan pa akong mag isa kasama si, Mr.Alvarez. Ayoko na, sobrang sakit ng tiisin at makita siya.

"It's a lunch with Magui, Sir."

It's such a relief because I saw Mr. Alvarez backed off when he heard Magui's name.

"We'll go ahead po," I said at hinila na palayo si Sean.

Nakahinga lang ako ng malalim ng makarating kami sa may parking lot.

"So where do you want to go?" tanong niya.

"Huh?" taka kong tanong.

"I said, where do you want to go?" ulit pa niya.

"Uhm,... Ewan," I answered.

"Sakay," he ordered me kaya sumakay nalang ako sa sasakyan niya.

Medyo familiar ang mga daan na tinatahak namin pero hindi 'ko sure kung anong lugar ang puputahan namin.
