Sweet Scent of Success (Horizon Series #1)

Chapter 16

Pasado Alas dose na ng nakarating kami sa isang hotel dito sa Baguio. Tinipon nila kami sa loob para malaman ang itinerary namin sa araw na 'to.

"Sit down everyone. We will start all the activities tomorrow but for now we'll eat our lunch first before you'll go to your assigned rooms. Kada grupo ay mayroong guro na magbabantay sa inyo." Sir Martin, our program head announced.

We are allowed to socialize with other groups pero dapat ang mga ka-grupo mo lang ang kasama mo all throughout the Leadership Training. We stood up and went straight to our assigned table. Bago ako umupo ay nahagilap ng mata ko si Estella kasama ang kanyang group members. I was about to smile at her when a hand wrapped around my small waist.

"Hey, sit beside me, B." He whispered.

I tried to remove his hand but the more I try to remove it the more he tighten his hold on me.

"What are you doing? Hmm"

Napalunok siya sa sinabi ko.

"Say it again, B."

"W—What?" I looked at his face and I saw how he tried to grip his jaw. "What are you doing?" I rolled my eyes at him. "Ano? Ayos na?"

"No. The last thing you said. Did you just say 'Hmm'?"

"Hmm. What about it?" I confusingly asked him.

"Nothing, just don't mind me. Oh God! Baby, you're driving me crazy." He said after letting go of my waist and sat beside my chair.

What did he say? Fuck! He's used of calling me 'Baby' at eto na naman ako si Ms. Assumera. Hays! I shouldn't have let that happen baka mamaya pinaglalaruan lang ako neto. He has a girlfriend remember?

Umupo na lang ako sa tabi niya para hindi na niya ako guluhin tutal marami naman kami dito sa table at hindi siya magbibitaw ng mga ganoong salita sa harapan ng mga kasama namin.

Pagkatapos kumain ay tinipon muli nila kaming lahat para ipaliwanag ang mga activities na gagawin namin bukas. Mayroong magaganap na Team Challenges bukas. Our team will be using a color maroon shirt, mayroon namang ibibigay ang department namin na shirts para sa amin. Pagkatapos ng meeting ay dinala na nila kami sa aming respective rooms.

"Hello! I am Hannah from Glee Club. Kayo?" She handed her hand at us.

Tinanggap ko naman ito at ngumiti sa kanya, "I'm Letizia from Honor Society."

"Oh! So you're smart huh? Share ka naman diyan ng brain cells mo." Hannah joked.

I shook my head and laughed at her, "Hala! No! Hindi naman masyado."

"Sus! Humble kasi yan, Hannah. Ako nga pala si Sheena from fourth year section B." Singit ni Sheena at inilahad ang kamay.

Napailing na lang ako sa sagot ni Sheena. I am not that smart masipag lang talaga ako mag-aral.

"Excited na'ko sa Training na 'to! This is my first time joining the Leadership Training kaya memorable 'to para sa'kin."

I smiled not because I am entertained by her but because I can see myself at her. Yung tipo na excited sa training na 'to dahil gusto ko magkaroon ng ibang kaibigan bukod kay Estella.

"We'll surely enjoy this training! This is our last year kaya isantabi niyo muna lahat ng problema na iniisip niyo at mag-enjoy muna tayo. Hahahaha" Sheena cheerfully said.

Nag-ayos na kami ng mga gamit at saglit na nagpahinga. Six - thirty pa kami bababa para kumain ng dinner. Nang natapos na kami mag-ayos ay sabay sabay na kaming bumaba para makakain. Dumiretso kami sa table na naka-assign para sa amin.
