      Your eyes dart up to the door, and then between Michaela and Peyton.   You arch your brow suspiciously, more so at the former. “You have more stuff planned?”   “Nuh uh,” she shakes her head as she takes another sip. “You expecting someone?”   You promptly set the highly-disconcerting paper aside, groaning as you struggle to your half-asleep feet. “Not even a little bit.”   Another knock follows.   “Just a sec!” you call out, worming your way to the door.   You swing it open…and… Magbasa pa

      You trail down the hallway leading to your apartment, feeling simultaneously uneasy and relieved—the latter only a result of finally being in your own private space where you don’t have to deal with unwelcome surprises and talkative co-workers who won’t shut up about said surprises.   You fish for your keys like a sloth, your motions sluggish even though you’re not physically tired.   But mentally? Heh. All the way out of it.   You step inside, ready to do nothing other than collapse in your bed…and… Magbasa pa

      You step inside your unit’s office—well, former unit as of this moment, you guess—feeling even more baffled about your sudden placement at this random company you’ve never even heard of. And being back at the place that you actually signed up—and want—to be in makes it all the more depressing.   You can’t even begin to accurately describe just how disappointed you are. And Covington’s little “extra credit” session after the meeting didn’t help one bit, nor offer any actual clarity on the matter. In fact, you… Magbasa pa

      You take a deep, silent breath as you settle into the same chair you did earlier, clasping your hands in your lap as if you have to physically brace yourself for whatever’s coming.   It’s amazing how the same, exact action can feel poles apart under different circumstances.   And I thought I was nervous before…   “You look like you have something to say,” Covington commences, offering you his undivided attention.   As confused as you feel, there’s no reason to beat around the bush.  … Magbasa pa

      You stand there, engulfed in a crowd of strangers…completely frozen.   All the cheering instantly stops, the room falling dead silent.   Your eyes go wide impulsively, every inch of you startled to oblivion as you look ahead.   You…you could have sworn you just heard your name.   But…that’s impossible.   For a second, you’re absolutely positive you misheard; that your imagination is playing a cruel, untimely trick on you. But Covington’s confirmative gaze finds you through the assembly, his eyes settling on yours.   “Come… Magbasa pa

      Your stomach growls as you scurry off the bus, angry at you for not putting any food in it which, you know from experience, is always a huge mistake. But, thanks to an exceptionally tardy slumber, you ended up smacking the snooze button one too many times, almost missing your designated commute, and the last thing on your mind during this morning’s frenzy was breakfast.   You practically run inside the building, looking and feeling crazy with the stack of binders huddled awkwardly between your arms. With… Magbasa pa

        Suspension. Total, utter suspension. That’s the only way you can describe this feeling.   This…phenomenon.   Everything suddenly hits pause. Your lungs. Your limbs. Your heart. Even time itself.   A severe, almost animalistic glare fills your entire line of vision, peering down at you. Scrutinizing. Examining. Penetrating.   For seconds without motion or measure, you stare speechlessly into the most exceptional, breathtaking eyes you’ve ever seen…   And the stunning face of the man they belong to.   A solitary, singular thought comes to mind:… Magbasa pa

      In another moment, you’re standing in a new hallway; that of Earth Capital’s Biodiversity department. The one you’ve envisioned since you switched majors.   You walk through the corridor, slower this time, as if all the pores on your body are trying to absorb every bit of this space. Every bit of this moment. And you take it all in, embracing the present like you never have before…   Until you get to office 319.   Your countenance falls as you regard the door in front of… Magbasa pa

      You inhale, long and deep, your eyelids fluttering in tandem with your heart as you watch the sign in front of you get larger and larger.   You walk ahead, still in utter disbelief as you near the acclaimed building.   Earth Capital.   Holy.   Freaking.   Crap…   You’re actually here.   For real, for real here.   After a relatively smooth, twenty-minute commute, you arrive at the physical pinnacle of your dreams over an hour early thanks to the trial run you did yesterday….

      You pace back and forth, your legs propelling you like turbines as they practically swerve across the carpet.   You can’t stay still, restless with barely-contained excitement for tomorrow. A billion thoughts race through your mind, all surrounding the newest major development in your life, the most pressing of which you’re currently focused on:   What the hell you’re going to wear.   You stand in front of your tall mirror, the single item in your bedroom that looks like you spent a hundred times more on… Magbasa pa
