Shared Playlist

Chapter Three

CHAPTER THREE: SHUTTLECOCK

YNNA

When I switched the song, I haven't able to leave since the music was back into a Japanese song again. My blood started to boil. I looked at my playlists and renamed it, making it easy for the person behind the act to see that I'm pissed.

HOY. SINO KA BA? BALIW KA BA? 

(Hey. Who are you? Are you crazy?)

I knew that I looked like an id─ot, I don't even know if that person's a Filipino or not. B─llshit. I'm doomed if that person's a Japanese, I don't know how to speak Nihongo. I'll just probably tell them that I got scammed. And I'll report that freaking selling account, they put my money into waste.

HOY KA DIN.

(Hey you too.)

My eyes widen when I saw that the playlist after the one I just changed was changed too! So, that means, the person can understand me! This person's a Filipino! Is this a joined account? I don't remember the seller saying that it'll be a joined account. Why am I sharing my account with other person? This is a scam, a big scam!

NA-SCAM AKO. BAT MAY KAHATI AKONG HAPONG HILAW.

(I got scammed. Why am I sharing with a feeling Japanese?)

I laughed because of my own words, I just left my cellphone in the table to take a shower and to brush my teeth. I'll just let that feeling Japanese to use the account for a while. I entered the bathroom to clean my body.

"B─llshit. That heater's not working!" I shouted when I felt no difference with the water's temperature after I twisted the knob. And much worse, I already took all my clothes off! I don't want to clothe myself again and take a shower in other dorm! It's embarrassing! 

I don't have any other choice but to take a shower using the frosty water coming from the faucet. I didn't notice how long I stayed inside the bathroom because it's so cold. After I took a shower, I ended up wearing my pajama and sweater.

"How unlucky I am." I whispered to myself when I got out of the room. 

I looked at the wall clock and I saw that it's just a few minutes before nine o'clock. I just took my phone from the table to check my Spotify account. 

PINOY AKO. IM PROUD.

(I'm a Filipino. I'm proud.)

He's st─pid for saying that he's proud being a Filipino when he's listening to Japanese music just a while ago.

GE. 

(Okay.)

I'm not sure about his gender but I think he's a male, in my own observance. I decided to do my research and to let that feeling Japanese do whatever he wants to do with his life. He's just a waste of time after all. I'll rather do my school works than letting him mess with my schedule. I also took my phone to send the notes to my block mate who asked for it.

After a couple of minutes doing my research, I saw Meg entered our dorm. She looked like she made out with some guy out there because her hair's so messy like a tornado pulled it out.

"Did you go home late because some guy pulled you to make out with him?" I curiously asked before I continue writing in a piece of paper. 

"Agree, this is b─llshit. Advanced Math and Calculus r***d me. Are they guys though?" She joked, I laughed. 

She's a Mechanical Engineering student and I don't know why she took that course. But, I can see that she just want to take the challenge since she's not good in Math so she wanted to conquer her own fear by taking a course that mostly tackled Math subjects.

"I want to shift course, b─llshit. I feel like I can't finish this course because it'll be the one who'll end me." She whined while she's busy getting her own food.

"I'll be in our room. I'm doing some research for Ma'am Marquez's class." I told her so she laughed.

"Okay, please do understand yourself." She teased, I just rolled my eyes. 

I was about to enter our room when she spoke.

"Maybe I'll just shift to Psychology. You don't have any math subject right?" She joked, I rolled my eyes again.

"You're wrong, we have MITWW." I smirked.

"What's that?" 

I chuckled, "Mathematics in the Modern World." I answered that made her frown. 

"I don't have an escape from Math, I see." She whined, I just laughed at her reaction before going to the bedroom.

After a few hours of researching, I slept.

The next day, I woke up early to re-check what I did last night. I just wore a simple pants and a pull over jacket paired with rubber shoes after I took a bath. I got out of our room as soon as I finish fixing myself. I walked towards the kitchen and I saw that Ali's drinking some water.

"I'm a Tourism student but Accounting's a sh─t." She whined before pointing the messed up papers on the table. 

I laughed while thinking we're group of friends who loath anything related to Mathematics.

I walked towards the cabinet to get some bread and jam, "When will we shop our groceries?" I asked them when I saw Meg came out of our room while stretching her arms upwards.

Ali shook her head, "Mom haven't send me anything yet, maybe on Saturday." She answered before taking a bread too so I nodded.

"You have an early class today?" They both asked so I nodded again before biting from my bread.

They laughed, "By the way, your cooking skills are improving. I tasted your Adobo a while ago." 

"No, that's the last time that I'll cook for the both of you. I'll just wash the dishes inside this dorm." I defended that made them laugh again before nodding.

After I ate my bread, I bid them goodbye since I need to go to class early today.

"I'll go now. I'll just eat lunch somewhere because I only have a 30-minute vacant before my afternoon class." 

They both nodded so I immediately left afterwards. While walking down the road, I checked my Spotify and I saw that he changed the playlist titles again. Almost all of them.

BABAE KA BA? KASI LALAKE AKO E.

(Are you a girl? I'm a boy.)

HOY, NATULOG KA NA

(Hey, are you asleep already?)

ANO BA YAN, ANG AGA NAMAN

(What are you? It's still early.)

I just sighed before changing the playlist title. He's such a playboy.

MAGTIGIL KA

(Stop it.)

When I entered the classroom, some of my block mates are memorizing something so I asked my seatmate, "What's up with them?"

She shrugged, "I actually don't know. They're just memorizing what they researched, obviously." She answered so I nodded before sitting on my chair. Luckily, I already studied those last night. 

"What will happen in out Fitness subject today?" Amy asked me, I just shrugged while following them towards the locker room. 

Our professor instructed us to change our outfits to Type B (PE Uniform) to make us feel comfortable. Last time, we did some yoga routines. Right now, I don't know. I just hope that it's not swimming because I'll curse Aragon University if that'll ever happen.

When we already changed our clothes, we gathered and walked towards the closed gym to get ready for our practical lecture.

"Ah, this is b─llshit." Thea cursed silently while pointing the rock climbing wall on the other side of the gym. And, Mr. Garcia's already there looking so serious with his gym outfit while waiting for us. The three of us just laughed.

"It'll be fun! D─mn. I can foresee what will happen." I commented while acting like I have binoculars (using my hands) when Mr. Garcia's already instructing us to fall in line in front of the rock climbing wall. 

"Have a sit, students before discussing the safety and ..." He started to enumerate and discussed the safety and etc. about the rock climbing activity. 

I flinched when a shuttlecock landed on my head.

"OMG! Casper's walking towards our direction." 

"He's so freaking handsome."

I turn to them and he's already in front of me, "Sorry, Ms. Engineer." He apologized with a smirk in his face. 

How sincere! I just rolled my eyes before giving him the shuttlecock, "Shut up." I told him before going back where I was seated before.

"Yes, Mr. Fulguerra? You're interrupting my class. You should find someone to flirt to, later after class." Mr. Garcia scolded him that made us laugh while he just scratched the back of his head before apologising , bid his goodbye as he walked back to the other side of the court and continue playing badminton.
