Bethany refused to accompany me during enrollment. Hindi ko alam kung dahil inis pa rin siya sa akin o dahil iniiwasan lamang niyang makita si Tyler na dito rin sa Perpetual University nagtatrabaho.
"Aren't you going to answer that?" the girl behind me asked while I was falling in line at the assessment window.
"Ha?" I asked, totally clueless.
"Nagri-ring ang phone mo, hindi mo ba sasagutin?"
My mind must have been somewhere else. Hindi ko talaga namalayan. Nakakahiya.
"Sorry," I apologized sheepishly before pressing the answer key.
"Hello?"
Wala sa phonebook ko ang number na iyon. I usually don't answer anonymous callers pero lalong nakakahiya sa mga nakapila kung hindi ko pa sasagutin.
"Hello? Who's this?" ulit ko nang hindi ito sumagot.
The line was quiet na parang pinapakingga
