KHEL'S POV


You know that boredom is pushing your limit when you just wanna stare at nowhere and do nothing at all. Like ghost in a room, if such thing exists.

Katatapos lang ng morning classes. It's breakt-time and most of the students spend their time in cafeteria, feeding their stomachs or bonding with their friends. I'm not fond of small talks or exchanging jokes. I prefer talking about theories and conspiracies. Pero dahil walang alam sa gano'n ang kaibigan kong ungas, si Brint, I end up bored.

For the millionth time, I sighed and stare at the open book lying on my lap. Kasalukuyan akong nakaupo sa bench, sa gilid ng malawak na green field. The school building is my background.

Hindi ko kasama si Brint. He's probably somewhere around the school. I don't know and I don't care. But I'm sure he's still alive and kicking his ass off.

Tahimik ang paligid. Tahimik ang buong green field at maaliwalas ang langit. No student around, because they're all inside the building. Which makes the environment calm.

Fixing my eyeglasses, I tried to read the book which lies on my lap. It's about Christopher Columbus and how was the shape of earth was discovered.

"Tsk."

But my brain can't absorb the words. Marahas kong sinara ang libro at muli, bumuntong hininga.

I took off my specs and massage my nose's bridge. Groaning,  "D*mn it."

"KHEL!!!"

Sinuot ko ulit ang salamin, saka hinanap kung sa'n nanggaling ang boses na iyon. And from afar, I saw an ugly guy with his catish grin that's approaching me. Here comes Brint the moron.

I thought he was alone. But a familiar girl was exposed walking behind the moron. Halos mapigil ko ang paghinga nang makita ang mukha ng babaeng 'yon.

Her smiling face glows like the sunshine.

I was stunned for a moment, staring at her as she approaches my direction. Pero nasira ang moment na iyon nang humarang ang mukha ni Brint sa paningin ko. 

"Yo, bro! Wassup? Buhay ka pa ba?" 

Hindi ko namalayan na nakatayo na siya sa harapan ko. Meera's standing beside him. Why are they even together? Do they know each other?

"May naghahanap sa'yo, bro!"  Brint jerked his thumb at the woman beside him.  "Meera raw. Tinanong ko kung fangirl mo siya. Kung oo, h'wag na siyang mag-abalang hanapin ka kasi hindi ka naman interesado sa mga babae..."
