You're Making Me Crazy, Professor [COMPLETED]

Chapter 34

I’m really in love. Pero, sa wala pang pag-asa.

I sighed, staring at my phone screen, waiting for a reply that might never come. It had been a few minutes, and still—nothing. 

"Ugh, Gomez, you're being too hopeful again," I muttered to myself, tossing my phone onto the bed. 

Maybe I should just sleep again. Or maybe, I should actually decide if I'm going to the province. My grandmother had been nagging me about it, but I was waiting for Ms. Sanchez.

I grabbed my pillow and hugged it close, scrolling through my phone absentmindedly. My CODM game was still open, waiting for me to continue. But now, I wasn’t in the mood to play. 

Then suddenly— 

DING. 

My heart practically jumped. 

I snatched my phone from the bed and quickly unlocked it. 

Ms. Sungit
I don’t know. I have a lot of work to do.

I grinned. At least she replied. Even if she sounded completely uninterested. 

Me:
Oh, come on, Miss. Three days won’t hurt. I’ll behave, I promise.

I exhaled sharply. "Great, now I probably sound desperate." 

I dropped my phone on my chest and stared at the ceiling. What was I even doing? It wasn’t like she was obligated to come with me. She had work, and I should respect that. 

DING. 

I shot up, grabbing my phone immediately. 

Ms. Sungit

You’re being too persistent, Gomez. 

I grinned. 

Me:
Always, Miss. 

I promise I won’t annoy you that much.

Ms. Sungit:
That much? 

Me:
Okay, maybe a little

She took a moment to reply again. I stared at the screen, waiting, my fingers itching to send another message, but I stopped myself. I didn’t want to push too hard. 

Then— 

Ms. Sungit:
What’s in it for me if I say yes? 

Me:
Hmmm. You’ll get to see the beautiful scenery, enjoy some fresh air, and—
