She and I

SHE AND I - THE GRADUATION [CHAPTER 1]

Being a second year was quite hectic stage of highschool life because you were both senior, for the first years, and underclassmen, for the third years. It was a stage where you split yourself into half, by being a role model to first year and by taking advices to their seniors. Though given that position, it was a fun experience for those who await this except someone who has a different standing especially a certain someone.

"Avery, sa Class 2-D ka?" tanong ni Glenn habang nakatingin sila sa bulletin board sa main entrance ng building.

"Nakikita mo na, eh!" inis na sagot ni Avery bago siya kutusan.

"Hayaan mo kasama mo naman si Jack," pagbibigay-alam ni Glenn.

"I know. Ikaw? Anong section mo?" tanong ni Avery at hinanap ang pangalan niya.

"Section B," sagot ni Glenn na ikinagulat ni Avery. "At kasama ko si Neon," dagdag niya.

"Wow! Ang swerte mo naman. Kapag nagkamabutihan kayo, ako muna ang unang pagsasabihan mo." Avery teased him.

"Get off me, stupid!" pananaboy ni Glenn sa kanya. "You're becoming wild as the time goes on," komento niya pa.

"Ehh! Boring. Pero swerte ka pa rin kasi Section B ka. Ako Section D," sambit ni Avery.

"Ano ka ba? Isang semi-circle lang naman iyong pinagkaiba," sagot ni Glenn.

"Anong lang?!!!" inis na sambit ni Avery bago sakalin si Glenn. "Tumaas kaya ang section mo. Dati C ka ngayon, B na. Akin bumaba," pagrereklamo ni Avery.

"Ano bang sinasabi mo? Hindi grade-based ang pag-section sa first at second year kaya walang ranking ang section. Random lang ang sectional system. Sa third years lang may advanced classes," paliwanag ni Glenn kahit sinasakal na siya ni Avery.

"Ganoon ba?" sagot ni Avery bago siya bitawan. "Pero iba ang pagiging pagkakaintindi ng mga magulang ko tungkol doon. Especially that stupid woman," Avery mentioned before holding his head.

"Ahhh! Si ano ba—" tinakpan ni Avery ang bibig niya.

"Huwag mo ng banggitin ang pangalan niya. It sends shivers down to my spine." Napatango na lang si Glenn nang sabihin niya iyon.

'The traumatizing memories are coming back one by one whenever I heard that name.' - Avery

"Sige, sige. Punta muna akong classroom. Mamayang 7 pa naman ang general assembly. 6:30 pa lang," paalam ni Glenn kaya napatango na lang si Avery.

Avery looked at the list of sections again before sighing. He decided to go the other way and led him to the library. Though he was not fan of reading some book, he just went inside of it and searched a good place to take a nap while waiting for the assembly to take place. About a couple of minutes passed but he couldn't sleep because of thinking about that certain dilemma

"I never thought that you're fan of reading," komento ng isang pamilyar na boses bago umupo sa harapan niya.

"Oh? Ikaw pala," sagot niya habang nakatungo sa nakabukas na libro.

"Stop that unsightly scene. You're ruining the book with your drool." That girl strictly pointed it out that made Avery get his face up.
