"Good morning, Nak." Mom greeted me after going downstairs, "Aga mo ngayon,ha?"

Umupo ako sa upuan at kumuha ng breakfast na nasa hapag, "Parade."

I don't want to keep it a secret anymore, she would probably find it out soon.

She looked at me with wide eyes, "A-ano?"

"You heard it right." I said before I put the spoon full of rice in my mouth.

She blinked twice at me, still shock. Who wouldn't? A student who used to spend her time in studying instead of attending in those activities, but now changed her routine? I don't know, I just woke up that those 5 jerks are now playing with me.

"Mabuting balita yan anak, mabuti naman at naisipan mo ng sumali sa ganyang mga patimpalak? Maganda iyan at magcocollege kana sa susunod ng school year, makaranas ka man lang na maging normal na estudyante." Ani niya habang nagsasandok ng kanin.

My brows rose up, am i abnormal? I shrugged before I start eating again my breakfast, a little faster. I took a shower, wore my uniform before I put my bag in my right shoulder and go downstairs.

"I'm going."

"Ingat!" mom shouted from kitchen.

And back again to my everyday routine, I walked until i reached our school. It's still early but it didn't make me shock that the school is starting to crowd. I looked around, Looking at each students, wearing their own Disney characters. I wonder what would be my costume. I hope it would be a formal costume.

I walked towards our classroom, and saw each of my classmates are now wearing costumes. Taking some pictures, doing a make-up, memorizing some lines for dula-dulaan, and some are even jumping because of excitements. I looked around and saw them in a circle, I'm getting nervous to see what did he picked.

I walked to them, at inakbayan si Tay bago inilahad ang kamay ko sa harapan niya. He looked at me and he stopped for a while that made my brow rose up. I'm waiting for him to give me the costume.

"What?" I asked.

He removed my hand from his shoulder before he whispered something I didn't heard. Binigay niya sa akin ang isang paper bag.

"Papalit lang kami." Tay said.

Napatingin ang lahat. I didn't notice them earlier. They all are now wearing their own Disney costumes. As they said, Kurt is wearing a crown, a shining toy sword in his gold belt, a usual prince costume. While Aljon and Emman is wearing Batman and Superman that made them a little manly, which is the opposite of their personalities. And then there is Clyde... wearing a unicorn t shirt and a... Headband. Really?

"Sige, pero ano ba yung costume niyo?" aljon curiously asked.

"Later." Tay said.

"Okay, basta bilisan niyo, at kayo ang nasa unahan dapat ng section natin." Clyde said while holding a Camera. "Pipicturan ko pa kayo."

I rolled me eyes. We walked in the restroom, of course he's at the boy sign while I'm at the girls. I still don't know why am i here, I just suddenly felt that I must go here. Pumasok ako sa isang cubicle bago binuksan ang paper bag.

I sighed in relief, thank goodness that it is not that bad but... It's crop top! It's a princess Jasmine's costume. It's in an Aladdin movie, he's probably Aladdin. I wonder what comes in his head to think this costume, is this his favorite disney character?!

I wore it before i went out and saw myself in the mirror wearing a green cropped top with a little glitters and some gem at the collar, while sa baba ay parang pajama that literally looks like Jasmine's dress. I'm not that into Disney movies, I'm just familiar with their names and characters but not their stories.
