EUNICE

"Dalian niyo, hoy! Late na tayo!" rinig kong sigaw ni Teo sa mga kaibigan mula sa closet nila.

Natawa lang ako at sumandal sa sofa rito sa kuwarto nina Jaiden. Nandito kasi kami ngayon sa dorm nitong lima. Tonight's the acquaintance party that's why Indigo and I are here at their dorm.

"Pota, ang init!"

"Jaiden, your necktie is uneven."

"Nasaan 'yung sapatos ko?!"

"Teo, your pants aren't zipped."

"Ba't mo tinitignan?!"

"Buhay pa kaya sila?" Indigo whispered in my ear, making me laugh.

"Ewan ko. Silipin mo." sagot ko sa kaniya.

"Keri pa ba, mga 'tol?" pasigaw na tanong ni Indigo.

Nang wala kaming natanggap na tugon ay inaya ako ni Indigo na i-check kung nagpatayan na ba 'yung lima. From the bedroom, we made our way to the boys' closet and knocked on the door.

"Are you guys okay?" I asked.

"Kaya pa ba today, mga p're?" natatawang tanong naman ni Indigo.

Wala uling sumagot sa'min. Tumayo lang kami ni Indigo sa tapat ng closet nila hanggang sa marinig namin ang pagbukas ng pinto. Sumilip ako at napatitig nang lumabas 'yung lima.

They wore white polos and colored suits. Jaiden's was gray, buttoned in the middle, with a necktie. Zyron's suit and vest were dark blue, two buttons of his polo opened. Night had a black vest, necktie, and a suit, also buttoned. Teo's was dark beige with the same colored vest. Clyde's polo was black, two buttons opened, partnered with a burgundy suit.

Sa ganoong porma ay sobrang fancy nila tignan. Isama mo pa ang mga suot nilang belts at silver watches. Maski ang ayos ng kanilang buhok ay dumadagdag sa appeal nilang lima.

Tsk, tsk. Ang guguwapo.

"Let's go. We're late." Night announced, looking at his watch. Siya rin ang nangunang maglakad sa'min.

We all walked outside of the house and towards our own rides. Pinagkatitigan ko si Jaiden at kumunot ang noo ko nang may mapansin ako sa suot niya.

"Love, wait," tawag ko at hinawakan ang balikat niya para iharap siya sa'kin.

"Huh?" he cluelessly asked.

Hindi ko siya sinagot at tumayo lamang sa harap niya. I reached for his tie and fixed it around his polo's collar.

"Hindi maayos 'yung tie mo." I explained, laughing, my eyes focused on his tie that I was busy fixing.

Nang mag-angat ako ng tingin sa kaniya ay nakita kong nasa mga mata ko ang paningin niya. I stared at his eyes for a second before smiling and tapping his chest.

"Tara na." nakangiting aya ko at nauna nang sumakay sa kotse niya. Nakita kong gulat pa rin siya mula sa ginawa ko, but he recovered and followed me to his car too.

"Are you excited?" he asked as he hopped in.

I nodded. "Of course. Ngayon ko pa lang makikilala 'yung mga ka-year natin. I've only met those that have the same course as mine. I want to meet other courses."
