47 University Announcement Part 2 (1/2)
”Ehm...” Sabrina faked a cough that caught Pedro and Ashley's attention who was staring at each other.
”Loren... What do you think would this announcement be?” Sabrina turned to Loren and totally ignoring Pedro and Ashley who glanced at her.
'What's with this kind of situation!?' Loren could only wear an astounded look on her face. Sabrina was staring at her, while Pedro and Ashley were looking at them. Well, Aldo was still immersed in his PGC.
”Sabrina! Wanna switch seats?” The since the calm and serious look of Aldo was replaced with a smirk on his face.
???
Loren, Pedro, and Ashley were astounded to Aldo's words. On the other hand, Sabrina was also astounded and blushed a little.
”No! I want to sit next to Sis!” Loren broke the momentary silence as she clings to Sabrina.
'It's just a seat! Why are they making a fuzz about it?' Pedro could only shake his head as he watches Loren clings to Sabrina and was unwilling to let go.
”Then, I'll seat at the end? That way Sabrina would sit next to Brother Pedro and You!” Aldo paused playing his PGC and stare to Loren like saying 'Just f@@@ing switch seats!'.
”But... I would sit beside you...” Loren wore a troubled expression as she replied back to Aldo's suggestions.
'Didn't know Aldo liked Loren...' Pedro thought as he glace at Aldo and Loren.
”I... It's fine classmate Aldo! I am comfortable with my seat already!” Embarrassed looking Sabrina interjected and gestured to Aldo that she was fine with her seat.
”Ok!” Aldo returned to playing his PGC. Loren, Pedro, and Sabrina sighed of relief.
'Something is wrong with this group...' Ashley thought inwardly as she watches the conversation end into an awkward silence.
”But seriously, won't you reconsider switching seats?” Aldo, uttered again that annoyed the other four.
”NO!” Sabrina and Loren shouted simultaneously to Aldo. Their shout got the attention of the other students from the two other class and their own classmates. Their classmates started to gossip about their group as an awkward silence can be felt on Pedro's group.
Minutes later, Other class started coming and they slowly filled the University Arena. Fortunately, the University Arena has many entry points that made the entry process last for less than an hour.
...
On a spacious room in the University Administration Building, a middle-aged man entered and bowed forty-five degrees to an old man who was sitting on a sofa and was reading something in his tablet. The light in his tablet glowed brightly because of the closed curtains and unlighted room.
”Sir, It's almost time...” The middle-aged man uttered calmly and with respect.
”Oh... Let's go!” The old man stood slowly and placed his tablet to the center table. He walked slowly out of the room. The middle-aged man stared at the still glowing Tablet of the old man and saw the student profile of Pedro. After the old man left the room, the middle-aged man closed the room's door and followed behind.
...
Tap! Tap!
The sound of the microphone being tapped was heard from the speakers in the arena.
”Ehm... Good morning students, and professors! May we request you to settle down, keep silence and be on your seats. We would begin in a few minutes.” A middle-aged Filipino man wearing a black suit was standing in the podium and spoke. Afterward, He returns back to the empty first row of the VIP area in the arena that was opposite to where Pedro's group was sitting.
”Why does it seems like we're on some kind of special seat?” Aldo asked while playing his PGC, that broke the awkward silence among them.
”Khaah...” Pedro sighed and wore an awkward smile as he glace around adjacent and opposite sides of second-row VIP seats. Upon which there were only about two more women that were located at the same 'second-row VIP seats' in front of different blocks.
Loren and Sabrina wore the same awkward smile and could only glace around too, while Ashley remained silent. Seconds later, the lights were suddenly turned off that astounded some and made a few noises around the arena. Some students shouted some 'personal' phrases.
”Stop it!” (Japanese version)
”I love *Insert Name*!”
”I love you back!”
