Andra Erlina Milburn’s Point of View
We got home before 9 in the evening. Zacarias and I were tored and the one where I went directly was to my room and opened my laptop immediately. About Zacarias, for sure, he was now on his bed resting.
After the dinner I had with him, I was the one who initiated to pay for it even if it cost too much, yet he didn’t let me.
I was tired. The first thing I did after opening my laptop was to search for Chesca’s number and call her through my phone whilst waiting for my laptop which is now loading at the moment. The issue between me and Calvin was still open. Tomorrow, I no longer know how to come to school because surely, everyone in our university would say something inappropriate.
“So, what’s your plan?” she asked.
I was browsing my f*******: and reading their comments when she spoke again.
“That won’t stop. Go and contact Calvin for him to clear about the thing that is currently going around,” she added. “Meh, if you feel shy, why not him?”
I snorted and rolled my eyes on the air. “What do you mean?”
“I mean, he’s the one who’s going to contact you, duh!” she said.
Phew. If only I had the courage to send him a message. I honestly feel uncomfortable especially when people start to divert their attention to me. I grew up thinking that I’m okay with being a nobody. Sometimes, it’s kinda okay for me but most of the time, it wasn’t.
I felt like I was still in the sea. We didn’t spent the rest of our time going to the beach and shoving yourself in. However, we just went for a quick bath for only three hours directly and then went back to our room yet I still feel like I am still in the beach, feeling drown.
I put my hands on my forehead after realizing I no longer know what to do next whilst I am now sitting on my chair here inside. Currently, I’m recapping of the things I had to memorize yet nothing is coming inside my head.
“How was it?” Chesca asked from behind.
“How is what?” I frowned.
She giggled. “The man whom I heard! Who it was?”
I rolled my eyes in the air. “Stop asking me questions. That’s nothing and you’re hallucinating. Bye, I’m hanging up.”
After putting the line down, I was just gazing at where my papers were. To my surprise, I just went to my bed to see how it goes if I just lay on the bed for only a few minutes until I didn’t know I’m already sleeping.
The sun’s rays came inside my room. The windows wasn’t fully wrapped with curtains. As soon as I stood from my bed, I came to the bathroom and washed my face like what I always do every morning. After my class, I will go to the hospital to check my brother whom I didn’t see for how many days because of the vacation I had with Zacarias.
I bought him things I know he would like. For example, some souvenirs I got there and foods I know he will be wanting.
When I came out, I tried to peak out inside Zacarias’ room and saw that he was still there despite the clock being 7:23 in the morning. He was wearing a black slacks, a white long sleeves whilst looking at his sliding door and seeing the view around.
“Don’t bother coming to my office. I’ll go to where you are, Bia.” He said using a small voice.
Bia. Is he talking to someone whose name was Bia? I wonder who it was.
I also wonder if he’s already done eating his breakfast as based on what I’ve seen, Felicia prepared for his breakfast yet he didn’t even moved a single utensils and even tasted everything she cooked.
I was about to come out when he said something that made me stop.
“Don’t worry. Mark my words. She doesn’t know and I think, she’s falling to my trap.”
For the third time around, I fell curious. I don’t know what to think off. I just came out his room and went to where the kitchen was and took a cup out before using the coffee maker.
Zacarias said she. He was putting a trap on someone else and I wonder what’s the context of the story? I mean, it’s like something was being fishy and I just can’t determine what it was. Well, maybe it’s aligned to the business he has. Well, he has a lot of foreign investors and for sure, rivals. Maybe he was talking about someone who’s mad or his rival, saying he trapped him and not to worry about.
I didn’t had the chance of seeing him leaving as I, myself too, was planning to leave early in the morning so I decided to wash my body and took my time inside the bathroom.

Schooling has been the huge contributor of me being tired. As soon our classes were done, I decided to talk about our projects and things we’ll be doing. I was now walking towards the hallway and just like what I expected, everyone was looking.
Some were smiling, some were laughing at me while their eyes roamed from head to toe, some were just looking at me angrily like they’re going to gauge my eyes out and eat me alive yet nothing happened.
I was now walking and was ready to cross our building when some girls in tourism department suddenly ceased me by looking at them and hearing theif conversation.
“Well, the only reason why Calvin wanted her was her body. Going to admit it, she has a nice curves,” some spilled.
“Huh, don’t joke me Rinoa. I do know when people went to Korea for their nose go be done.”
For a second I felt something insensitive. Maybe for some it was a good joke or such but it wasn’t. After it, I chose to cross the pathway until the Jollibee when I saw their ads and only Bayambang were the only one who wasn’t included at the one they were saying.
