Embracing my Serotonin

Chapter 11

This past few days had been really a high drive to my system. We'd face a lot of bastards trying to stain innocent people, cleaning fucked up business.

I can't help but to feel a lil relief after breaking one of the syndicate that destroyed thousands of future. Showing mercy to those kind of pips is a big act of stupidity, no way we're gonna let them pass just like that, not even a step.

I'm currently stretching my bones and relaxing my mind in my rest house in laguna. I'm absent for 2 days now, well i just don't feel like coming to class.

I'm trying to cool down my system. After what happened in the mall few days ago, it's starting to bombered my inner self. It supposed to be exciting but everything had been really out of my grasp lately.

Even Caellum couldn't get a fine answer eversince that night. I don't know why i'm affected, i don't know why i'm letting those unnecessary thoughts altered my emotions. It's a badnews.

"Where have you been Cassidy??"

I was just walking in the living room after i arrived from laguna.Hindi ko pinansin ang seryosong tanong ni Caellum. As much as i want to talk to him, wala talaga ako sa mood.

Nagbihis lang ako ng casual na damit at naglakad na paalis. Napailing iling lang si Cae sakin nang makitang palabas na ko. I'll make it up to him soon, not now.

"Cassidy 2 araw ka ng absent , kung sana nakita mo si Prof Alex kulang nalang sirain niya yung mesa kaka hampas nung malaman niyang 2 araw kanang di umaattend sa klase niya"

Napakunot ang noo ko dahil sa sinabi ni Keisha pagkaupo ko sa loob ng classroom. Come again?? Why would she react that way? Marami pa siyang sinabi pero lumilipad ang utak ko.

"Why are you here Castro? I thought you already dropped out."

I lift my head meeting her dark orbs na seryosong nakatingin sakin. Di ko man lang napansin na pumasok na pala siya rito sa loob.

"Where did you get that news Prof?" i casually said while looking to her. Tinaasan ako nito ng kilay at ilang minuto pa akong tiningnan bago tumikhim at inayos ang pagkakatayo sa harap.

She was discussing and reminding us about the project, bukas na pala deadline nun. I really need to take this seriously dahil dalawang araw akong wala. I even saw my blockmates slowly passing their outputs.

"Castro stay for awhile."

Napatigil ako sa pagaayos ng mga gamit matapos marinig ang boses niya. Iginala ko ang mata sa paligid, mukhang kanina pa nakalabas.

"Where are you for the past 2 days?" she firmly said while crossing her arms in her chest. I bit my inside cheeks and clicked my tongue.

"Vacation Prof."

She raised her left eyebrow and straightened her back infront of me.

"Vacation? Seriously?." sumama ang tingin nito at tumayo sa harap ko.

"You're taking vacation without leaving a letter? Why you didn't informed me??"

Napakamot ako sa kilay bago pinaglalaruan ang dila sa bibig ko. Do i need to inform her?

"Forget it. Follow me." nilampasan ako nito matapos di ko ito nasagot. Ako na rin ang nagkuha sa mga gamit niya at tahimik na sumunod.

Mabilis na pumasok ito sa may dulong pinto with her name engraved on it.

Prof. Alex Lenon Roa

"Are you mad."

Napahinto ako sa paglagay ng mga gamit niya nang nilagay ko ang mga gamit nito sa mesa niya. I silently roamed my eyes to her office, black and white ito at malinis ang paligid.
