Reign

Sobrang bilis ng oras, dalawang linggo na lang ay midterms na.

"Cams, may correction tape ka pa ba? Naubos na 'tong akin, e," pagtawag ko kay Camille habang itinataas pa ang naubos kong correction tape.

Tumigil muna siya sa pag-aayos ng notes niya at kinalkal sa bag niya 'yung hinihiram ko.

"Here," Camille stated as she extended her arm to hand me the correction tape.

"Thank you," I said while exhaustingly smiling at her.

She then chuckles and tap my shoulder.

"After this week, exams na lang tapos we are good to go," she said with a cheerful tone.

I just nodded and smile at her.

Pinagpatuloy ko na ang pagsusulat ng lectures ko habang hinihintay namin si Ma'am Molina para sa last period.

"Reign, I still have this copy pala," sabi ni Camille habang inaabot sa akin 'yung photo copy ng lectures.

Kinuha ko 'yun and I just quickly scanned it.

"Uy, I never had this copy," kumento ko habang patuloy ako sa paglipat sa mga pahina ng photo copy.

"You can have it, naalala ko na mero'n pa akong isa sa bahay, para you don't have to write it all down," Cams said as she finished organizing her things.

"Talaga? Kunin ko na 'to ah?"

"Sure," then she winked at me.

"Thanks!"

I immediately put the photo copy inside my bag. After a few minutes, Ma'am Molina arrived and started discussing about semiotic system.

This is probably the last topic for this term. Lahat naman ata ng idi-discuss this week ay mga last topic na dahil midterms na next week.

Ma'am Molina finishes her lecture meeting with the last essay that will be submitted this week.

"That'll be all, class. I'll be instructing your beadle for your pointers to review for your midterm exams, let's call it a day," Mrs. Molina formally stated and finally ending this day with a smooth discussion.

"I'm getting sicker because of too much essay," narinig kong sabi ni Camille sa sosyal niyang tono.

"Girl, reklamo lang pero 'wag na gaanong sosyal, okay?"

She then laughs at binibit na rin niya ang bag niya.

I was about to get my bag when I felt my phone vibrating inside my pocket.

Sunduin kita.

Napangiti ako at para bang nabawasan ang pagod ko. Madalas pa rin niya 'kong sinusundo at hinahatid.

Kahit kapag ihahatid niya ako pauwi ay hanggang sa kanto lang namin. Minsan, nakakahiya talaga kasi madalas ko rin namang gusto na patuluyin siya sa bahay.

I didn't text him back and just pulled Camille outside our classroom. Inirapan lang niya ako ng pabiro and mouthed "maharot."

"I know right," tugon ko naman at sabay kaming natawa.

When we finally got to the first floor Camille told me that she'll be meeting her friends sa kabilang building.

Kaya mag-isa na lang akong naglalakad palabas ng campus, pero naramdaman ko na naman na nagva-vibrate 'yung phone ko.

Gab's calling.

"Hello?"

"Where are you right now?" Gab asked from his line.
