'I know you can Aurelie, nice to see you again. See you around Aurelie.' those words never left my thoughts. How does he know my name? I would understand if he called me Au because Ze called me. But no, he called me aurelie.
Hanggang makarating kami ni Ze sa org meetings naming, Chancellor's words made me think deep. Ze, was looking at me intently like scanning my emotios.
"Au, you okay? Kanina kapa occupied. Is there something wrong?" Ze asked, while we are walking towards our seats. "Yeah, just tired. Gusto ko umuwi Ze." I told him.
"Konting tiis na lang last na'to then we'll go home." Ze assured me.
The meeting was brief only, they just welcomed us. Talked about the future events in the org and the details for the org payments. We were about to go out when the CE Council President called me.
"You're Aurelie right?" he asked.
"Yes, bakit po?" I asked a bit curious. "Wala hehe, kaya pala nahulog si Bossing." Wait, what?
"Sinong bossing?" Medyo namutla siya ng konti pero bumalik din sa dati. "Ah wala, welcome sa org natin. See you sa events." People are starting to get a bit weird.
Ze and I walked across the road to get sa Main where Ke and Ree are waiting for us. They finished earlier than us. Nag lakad na kami papunta sa gilid ng school sa mga tusok tusok. Gusto pa sana naming kumain pero sobrang pagod na kami, kaya next time na lang.
Nag antay lang kami ng kaonti and may dumating ng jeep pauwi kaya sumakay na kami. Nag commute muna kami ngayong araw dahil nasira yung sasakyan ni Ze, pero bukas pwede na daw. Hindi naman siksikan kaya nag kwentuhan muna kami saglit ni Ree.
"Au, may nabalitaan ako tungkol sayo." Excited niyang sabi.
"Ano yan?" I have a feeling kung ano yun. "Tinali daw ni Kuya Chancellor ang sapatos mo kanina sa may pathway." See, word travels really fast around here huh.
"Yes, I was shock. Diko naman kailangan ng tuloy niya kaya nabigla ako bakit niya tinali. Plus, he knew my name." Nakakairita parin, diko kailangan ng tulong niya. Nagmamadali lang ako nung sinabi ni Ze na may dadaan kaya di maayos ang pag kakatali.
"Ang swerte mo girl, imagine the student body president tied your shoes." She said dreamingly
"Ree, you know me. I don't need anyone's help. Nagmadali lang akong nagtali dahil sabi ni Ze may dadaan daw." Iritado kong saad. Pagkatapos kong sinabi yun, nanahimik na si Ree alam niya rin naman na walang patutunguhan tong usapan na'to.
First day pa lang sobrang dami ng nangyari, hindi parin ako maka paniwala sa nangyari. Chancellor kneeled down and tied my shoes. Our org president and his weird words. I hope tomorrow is better than today.

Sabay sabay parin kaming pumasok apat. Pero hiwa-hiwalay na kami ng campus, sana kayanin naming lahat, lalo na si Reeilla. Nandito na kami ni Ze sa may harap ng EB nang makita ko si Celeste. Kumaway siya at lumapit.
"Good morning Au and Ze. Tara doon daw yung room natin." Ang energetic niya naman, sana all.
"Good morning din Celeste." Bati namin ni Ze.
Before 7 dumating na ang prof namin unang subject pamatay agad Chemistry Lec. As usual kahit college na meron parin mga prof na gusto ng introduce yourself, nagsimula sila sa unahan. Nasa may bandang gitna kami nila Ze at Celeste. Nauna si Ze samin dahil siya ang nasa gilid.
"Eric Zero A. Paraiso, 19." The usual Ze tipid sa words. Tumayo nako dahil ako ang next, habang tumatayo ako I hear whispers from other people.
"Siya yung tinalian ni Kuya Chancellor ng sapatos."
"Oo siya nga, ang bait talaga ni Kuya Chance."
"Ang swerte niya."
"Ang ganda niya grabe, bagay sila."
"Mukha siyang mataray."
"Oo nga, ang tapang siguro niya."
Grabe hanggang dito ba naman si Chancellor parin. Diko na lang pinansin yun ibang side comments.
"Margaux Aurelie S. Olivarez, 19." Wala din akong gana nag pakilala dahil sa mga side comments nila. Sumunod naman si Celeste.
"Brie Celeste D. Cruz, 19, you can call me Celeste." Hanggang sa pag papakilala ang energetic parin niya.
Tuloy tuloy lang ang pagpapakilala hanggang sa pag pasa ng mga index cards. 1 and half hour tong subject na'to kaya naubos lahat yun sa mga introduction, passing ng index, and discussion ng course outline. Hanggang sa next subjects na dalawa parehas lang ang nangyari which is minor subjects lang pero GV ang mga profs so okay rin.
11:30 nang matapos kami sa last subject para sa umaga, dahil yung last na minor is dito sa main ang room, so mas malapit lang kami sa canteen. Habang nag lalakad kami ni Ze and Celeste nagtitinginan parin ang mga tao dahil siguro sa kahapon.
"Siya yun, si Aurelie."
"Ang ganda naman pala niya, kaya pala."
Mapa lalaki at babae nag uusap ang iilan kapag dumadaan ako. Nahihiya akong yumuko ng kaunti, pero tinaas naman ni Ze and baba ko. "Look straight Au, don't mind them." Ze smiled at me. I really am lucky to have him.
Nakarating din agad kami sa canteen and dahil nga medyo maaga pa kaya madaming vacant seats. Iniwan na lang naming ang mga bag sa table and pumila na. Madaming choices ng pagkain meron din bilihan ng mga pasta and mga pritong merienda sa baba pati ulam. Kaya triny naming bumili doon.
Pabalik na kami ng upuan namin nang may narinig kami na tawanan mula sa labas. The Councils papasok sila ditto probably to eat. Dahil malapit sa pinto ang table naming kitang kita ko sila, baka nag karoon ng meeting dahil pati mga ibang colleges governors kasama.

Huling pumasok si Chancellor, at tumingin sa kanya ang mga studyante. Friendly siya, masayahin base sa observation ko. Of course kailangan niyang maging friendly sa lahat, dapat lagi siyang role model. Yun ang akala ng mga lahat pag dating sa isang member ng student council.
Umupo sila sa may tabi naming table kaya medyo hindi ako comfortable. Nakita niya ako at nag smile bago niya iniwan ang gamit niya sa table. Bumalik na lang ako sa pagkain ko at kung kalian patapos na ako dun ko napansin na wala pala akong mineral water.
Tatayo na sana ako nang may nag lapag ng tubig sa harap ko. Tinignan ko kung sino, Chancellor. Iniwan niya lang ng walang pasabi at umupo na siya at kumain. Tinignan ko lang yung tubig at hindi ininom, tumayo ako at bumili ng tubig. Ibabalik ko sa kanya ang tubig, diko kailangan ang galing sa kanya.
Naglakad ako papunta sa lamesa nila, nang makalapit ako napatingin ang mga kasama niya saakin. Maybe wondering why I'm going to their table.
"This is yours I believe, nalagay mo ata sa maling table." I said as I put the water at their table and turned around. "No Aurelie, it's yours." Chancellor said and grabbed my hands and put the water again.
"Thank you, but I don't need your help or your water. I perfectly can buy myself a water." With that I left.
He was still standing holding the water, probably shocked. But he then sat down and chuckled as he looked at the water and then me, nababaliw na ata siya. After that I nakarinig nananaman ako ng mga bulong bulungan. I can't deal with this anymore. I told Ze and Celeste na mag papahangin lang ako. Hindi ko na hinintay pa ang sasababihin nila.
I went sa may heroes park mahingin dito and wala naman masyadong tao dahil lunch kaya dito ko naisipan na mag stay muna. I was just sitting here, listening to music with my eyes closed nang may nag salita sa likod ko.
"I'm sorry." Tumigin ako sa nagsalita and there he is Chancellor. "What for?" I sound annoyed.
"For yesterday and today." He said as he sat beside me.
"Look Kuya Chancellor, I don't need your help, I can do it on my own." Naka emphasized talaga yung pagsabi ko ng kuya.
Tumawa siya bago nag salita. "Kuya? Call me Chance or Peirce." I didn't talk I just stared at the monument of Rizal. "I gave you that water because I saw that you didn't have water, it's also my way of saying sorry because I know that a lot of people are talking or whispering as they see you because of what I did." Mukhang sincere naman siya, pero badtrip parin ako.
"Look don't you think pag uusapan nanaman tayo niyan!! The Student Council President with the rngineering freshie student sitting together." Nakatingin lang siya sakin habang sinasabi ko yun. "I'm sorry Aurelie, I just want to say sorry." Malungkot niyang sabi.
"Apology accepted po, please don't ever do those anymore po." As I said that I walked away from him.
Pumunta ako sa gym, since nandun daw si Celeste and Ze. Nakita ko naman agad sila kahit na maraming tao since lunch nagiging rest area tong gym.
"Au, nagusap ba kayo ni Chance?" Celeste asked na nakapagpabigla sa akin.
"How did you know?" I asked.
"He asked us the moment you left kung alam daw ba namin kung saan ka pupunta." Ze answered habang nag lalaro ng ML sa phone niya.
"Yeah nakita niya ako sa may heroes park." Walang gana kong sabi. "He must've looked for you everywhere. Alam mo ba nung tinanong niya kung nasaan ka, parang desperado na siyang makita ka." and why would he be desperate.
"Hayaan mona nangyari na ang nangyari let's just hope for the best." Pagkasabi ko noon yumuko na lang ako sa may bleachers at triny matulog since 1 pa ang pasok and 12:15 pa lang.
The afternoon classes went by sa minor subjects lang ulit kaya light lang ang atmosphere. Nang mag 4 na uwian na, si Ze nag paiwan dahil may kailangan daw siyang gawin at mauna na ako pauwi dahil baka gabihin daw siya.
Habang nag aantay ako ng jeep na masasakyan biglang bumuhos ang ulan, great wala akong payong. May paparating na jeep na kaya tatakbuhin ko na lang since malapit lang naman. Akmang tatakbo nako nang payungan ako ni Keron.
"Oo nga pala dito pala last subject mo now. Sorry nakalimutan ko Ke." Sabi ko agad ng makaupo kami sa jeep. "Nag tetext kaya ako sayo dahil sinabi nga ni Ze sakin na pinauna ka daw niya at kung pwede ay samahan kita pauwi." Pagkasabi niya noon ay tinignan ko ang phone ko at nakita ang 10 messages and 4 missed calls galing kay Ke at 3 messages mula kay Ze.
"Sorry talaga Ke, naka silent kasi phone ko." Naguguilty tuloy ako. "Okay lang Goldie." Ayan nanaman siya sa pang aasar niya ng Goldie. "Tigil na Eric Keron A. Paraiso." Tumigil na siya dahil whole name na ang sinabi ko.
Pagkauwi na pagkauwi ay nagpalit ako, nag skin care at humiga tapos ay nag check ng mga social medias ko. May notification ako sa facebook.
