It's Sunday.
I wake up like I'm a disney princess knowing that I'll be with Kiefer today. I cannot contain my excitement, literally. I'm like jumping up and down every now and then and instead of walking, I skip instead. Shemai, parang nasiraan na ako.
I text my parents, letting them know that I won't be able to come home today since Sundays is family day. I'm kinda sad about it though because I miss my family so much and I miss the only available day I get to be with them. I sigh, and convince myself that Kiefer will take my mind off this, he'll make me happy. I check twitter and I see Kiefer's tweet: looking forward to this day ;). I blush intensly, my cheeks are completely red right now and I can feel the butterflies in my stomach, exploding.
I skip to my bathroom and I take a shower. I make sure I brush my teeth well so that my breath won't smell bad when I take to Kiefer. Oh god, it would be so embarrassing if my breath smells bad. I go to my closet and I put my index finger on my cheek, thinking of what to wear. I'm not girly at all so I'm hoping that Kiefer's okay with girls that dresses simple. A decade later, I decide on black shorts, mid-length sleeved white tight lace blouse, my J's and sunglasses that sits atop my head. I comb my hair at least a hundred times, and realize that I didn't need to since I have a pixie cut. Hm, I just wasted precious time. Hay naku, Mika.
It's 10:00, I still have 30 minutes to spare before Kiefer gets here. I smile as I look at myself in the mirror. My legs are toned because of volleyball so I look good wearing shorts. I'm not very curvy but my lace top makes me look like I have something underneath. I'm thin but not too thin that I could pass as a stick. My shoulders are broad which makes me look like a man, I shrug at that. I know I'm not the prettiest girl around but I'm contented with how I look like and that's what matters. Just then, Kim walks in and sees me looking at myself. She examines me up and down, then squeals and claps her hands excitedly as if she knows why I'm dressed all nice today.
"Uy naks naman Daks, ganda mo today ah. Saan ka ba pupunta?" she asks with one eyebrow raised.
"Uh.. Wala. Pupunta lang ako sa Eastwood." I answer her.
"Ows, wag ka na magsinungaling Daks. May date ka no?" she asks, smiling maniacally.
"Hindi date, sus. Friends lang kami" I reply. Friends na ba kami ni Kiefer? I think.
"So sino yung lalaki na pinadress up ka pa para lang makipag-hangout?" she asks curiously. I don't answer at first, which made Kim ask again.
"Kilala ko ba siya? Uy Daks, walang taguan dapat ng secrets diba? Tsaka first date mo toh, imporante kaya. So dapat alam ko kung sino kadate mo." she says. She has a point actually. Plus, she's one of my bestfriends so why am I keeping this a secret from her?
"Mmm, Kim, si Kiefer kasi yung makakasama ko sa Eastwood" I say after a few minutes of silence.
Kim screams.
I cover my ears because I know how loud she can scream.
"MIKA! Bat di mo toh sinabi saakin?" she says, fanning her face.
"Medyo kasi kahapon niya lang ako tinanong" I answer her.
"Sabi ko na nga, magkakatuluyan kayo eh!" she says pointing her finger at me. I hold my hands up.
"Hangout lang toh, di date so please. Wag exag" I beg.
Kim purses her mouth, her smile still plastered all over her face. I look at my watch and it's 10:20 already. I grab my keys and sling bag and head for the door.
"Alis na ako, Kim!" I shout over my shoulder.
"Ingat Daks, behave ka ha!" she says after me.
I go downstairs and I'm in the entrance already of the school. I'm keeping a look out for him incase he arrives. After a while I get a text.
