Semua Bab Pines Park: Bab 1 - Bab 10

The alarm rings again.Sa pagkakataong 'to ay obligado na akong bumangon. Naka-set ang alarm ko ng tatlong beses- 5:00, 5:05, 5:10am. Madalas, sinu-snore o di kaya ay di ko papansinin ang unang alarm. Gigising nalang ako sa pangalawa o pangatlo. Madalas, sa pangatlo. Hindi ko rin alam kong bakit ko pa isinet ang alarm clock ng tatlong beses kung di ko lang din naman gigisingan. May mga bagay lang talaga akong ginagawa na ang dahilan ay, wala lang.Monday mornings are always the hardest. I mean, I always find it hard to wake up each morning, it's just, mondays mornings are different kind of hard. I dont know, siguro' isa lang din to sa mga wala lang ko.Eyes still closed, I stretched my left arm reaching the alarm and poked it until it stops.

Nakatsinelas, plain white shirt at kulay brown na

"Jet!"Papalabas ako ng El Vino ng marinig ko ang boses ni Belle na tinatawag ang pangalan ko. Napalingon ako. Tumatakbo siya papalapit at nang maabutan ako ay inabot niya ang balikat ko at napayoko sa hingal. Mukhang papuntang training si Belle na naka-table tennis attire.

I rushed down the building. I'm almost ten minutes late. Exact 7am ang usapan at exact 7am din ako nagising.

I left right after finishing my coffee. I got no answer to everything that bothers me of him. How can I get an answers if I didn't even ask at the first place?I finished the coffee faster than what I've planned. I can't stand the awkwardness I felt between us. Maybe it's just me, the awkward and him? he didn't feel the same way I guess. Why would he be awkward if he's okay with everything and he thinks everything is fine and Im fine.
