Chapter 3

First week of law school flew past and im expecting that our profs will finally be in class.

"You think they'll attend today?"

Joagñe asked, one of my classmate. The first person who talked to me and now my seat mate.

"Hope so, i don't like being rushed at the end of the semester if they'll still won't be here"

I stared at her as she kept smiling, i furrow my brows.

"What's wrong?"

"Haven't you notice? there's a lot of cute guys here in our class" and she look at me with 'You-know-what-to-do'

I roll my eyes.

"No thanks" i answered and now it's her turn to roll her eyes upside down.

"You didn't attend the block party prepaired by our seniors, why so? and who's that guy you were chasing out that day?"

I raise one of my brow, she saw me? and there is only one person i chase.

"No one'' she smiled like as if she'll ever believe that 'no one'.

I won't introduce him,  Creed is not even mine, not yet. I don't like having much competitor coz let's be real. Creed is the real deal.

He's the type of man you want to marry, spend the rest of your life with. Yes, there are guys like that and one basic example is Creed Alexander.

He's just so different with other boys, there are guys who's at first glance are just  for 'Boyfriends' for 'flings' and i don't like that. I don't date just for the heck of having a man. I'm not a person who likes wasting their time.

We were in the middle of our chit chat when the door burst out open, a man in Polo shirt entered.

"1S?" we all nodded. I could feel the exaggerating thump of my heart. "I'm Atty, Laus for your Obligation and Constitution, fill out those index card and we will begin our first class recitation" Unexpectedly, I'm fidgeting. No sht, i read enough. Right? I was confident but the moment this guy entered i felt like i stopped breathing.

"Class beadle, distribute the index card" The class beadle stood up. He gave me an index card and i immediately wrote my name on it.

Damn it, i need to calm down. I took a good inhale and exhale and then gave it to him as im done.

Without even further ado, he began.

I prayed, prayed so hard. 'Lord, not me. Not first"

I know in myself im smart but right now im not really confident.

"Give me a number"

"Sixteen, sir"

He shuffled the index card. I held my hands tight. Not me, not me. I repeatedly say those words at the back of my head like a chant.

"Ms, Mroz"

Fuck me.

.....

I got out of the classroom empty minded. I messed up, i mess my first recit. The damn first impression i want to give really happened but not good.

The Atty face don't look satisfied with my answer especially when the first two he called after me recited it in verbatim, with date and the shits i messed up.

He looks uninterested with me but he looks satisfied with them, gosh i need to study more. I can't let this happen again. I don't like the feeling of being left out now that my parents already think this is not serious, i need to study to prove people that this is not just a fancy game.

I was on my way to my next class when i decided to take another route. One where i can pass Creed's class.

And i never regret taking the long way as i saw his back. Tho im kinda of disappointed as i can only sight his back, he seems reciting tho. He' standing tall and he seems confident. The Atty's attention is on him, that only means he's doing great.

I do not know but i smiled.

I fist my hand and muttered "Aja"

"I'll work hard" I want to be like him, it's just starting but i better work my ass off. If i want Creed, i need to be deserving. Because Creed deserve the best.
