"(Kiriring,kiriring)"

Xi cellphone sounds because her aunt Lucia is calling.

"(Oh my god,early in the morning who can do this?)"Xi asked herself despite the fact that she forgot that she had a lesson today at school.
"Hello,who is this"tanong ni Xi sa telepono,
"Xi what time is it?,your class will start"-Lucia,
"(Oh my god,oh my god ,sorry aunty I forgot I had a class today,5 minutes aunty I'll be there)"-Xi,
"Hurry up,your class is about to start,unang araw mo pa mandin,don't embarrass me"-pagalit na sabi ni Lucia kay Xi.

Xi quickly dressed and got into the car so she should reach her first lesson pero nahuli pa rin ito.

Nakarating na nang paaralan si Xi and she went straight to her room.As Xi enter her classroom ,her/his classmates laugh at her not only because she is late but because she is ugly but she is still straight in her chair and ignores them .Hanggang sa dumating na si Leni ,ang kanilang guro.

"Good morning class,maybe you know me and your already know each other because you were in the same class last year except for the new transfer, and that is Xi"-Leni,ang guro nila Xi.

"Hi Xi,can you come here infront and introduce yourself?"asked by her teacher-Leni.

As Xi went forward to introduced herself to his/her new classmates,she was nervous and rehearsed how to intoduce herself.

"Good day to all of you I'm Xi,Xi Serdia,,I'm the only one in life I don't have a family anymore,iniwan ako ng mga magulang ko sa tita Lucia ko when I was 3 years old at hindi na nila ako binalikan pero ok lang hindi naman ako pinabayaan ng tita ko"-ang pagpapakilala ni Xi habang paiyak na.

When Xi finished introducing herself,their class began.

"Ok class,now we will study the importance of being a good person"-Leni,
"Who can give me an example kung paano tayo magiging isang mabuti sa ating kapwa?"ang tanong ni Leni sa kanyang mga studyante.

Tumaas ng kamay si Xi para sumagot sa tanong ng kaniyang guro.
"Ok Xi give me an example,just one example only"-Leni.

"Maam for me the example of being a good person is that you shouldn't judge the external apperance ng iyong kapwa, like me which is not beautiful.I hear a lot of bad things but I just let them because I know they lack care of their parents so they judge each other like that,so to my classmates who are here now
I hope you don't judge the external apperance ng kapawa niyo because"it's not about in the outside,it's about in the inside"-ang sagot ni Xi sa tanong ng kaniyang guro na si Leni.

Nagpalakpakan ang lahat ng kaklase ni Xi pati ang kaniyang guro pagkatapos nitong sumagot sa tanong ng kaniyang guro ng maayos at nakakainspire.

" Ok salamat Xi sa iyong nakakainspire at maayos na sagot,oh class napakinggan niyo ba yun wag tayong manghusga ng ating kapwa dahil lang sa panlabas na anyo nito dapat tingnan niyo rin yung kalooban nila,naunawaan ba?",
"Yes maam,"-mga studyante,
"Alright guys that's all for today,buy the way before I forgot wala tayong klase bukas because my niece are going to married,kaya walang papasok bukas,okay"-Leni,
"Yes maam"ang sagot ng mga estudyante.

The bell rang and it was a sign to go home.Xi was about to leave her classroom when Alpha saw her coming out,he waited for her at the gates and asked if they could talk before going home.

"Hey Xi"-Alpha,
"Hey,what's up?"-Xi,
"Can we talk before going home to their respective house"-ang tanong ni Alpha kay Xi habang nakatingin sa kanila ang maraming tao,
"Yeah sure,san tayo mag-uusap,ano pag-uuaapan natin ?-tanong ni Xi,
"In the cafeteria,gutom na din kase ako hindi kase ako kumain ng umagahan HAHAHAHA,libre ko"-Alpha,
"Oh cgue sabi mo yah huh"-Xi.

The two walked to the cafeteria to eat.
In the middle of their meal Alpha asked Xi where her parents were.

"Xi I just asked,where are your parents,your family?"-Alpha,
"Ummmm"-ang bulong ni Xi sa kaniyang sarili habang patungo ang kanyang ulo,
"Uyy it's okay if you don't answer ,hindi naman kita pinipilit"-Alpha,
" No It's okay,hindi lang kase ako sana'y na nagkwekwento tungkol sa personal kong buhay kase wala namang nakikinig sakin dahil sa itsura ko"-ang sagot ni Xi kay Alpha habang malungkot ang muka,

"Ganon ba,ngayon nandito na ako may makikinig na sa iyo ,so nasan nga yung pamilya mo,bakit mag-isa ka lang?"-Alpha,
"I no longer have a family ,except that I have no siblings ,when my parents left me with my aunt,pero ok lang nasanay na din naman ako na mag-isa"-ang sagot ni Xi sa tanong ni Alpha habang tumutulo ang mga luha.

Niyakap ni Alpha si Xi at sinabing
"Don't cry anymore,I'm here and I won't leave you no matter what happen,okay"-Alpha,
"HAHAHAHAH"-ang malakas na tawa ni Xi,
"Why?"-alpha,
"Just now someone told me that,but thank you because even though we only know each other you prove to me that you will be a good friend"-ang paliwanag ni Xi kay Alpha,
"Pero ikaw nasan yung family mo?"-Xi "Me?,why should I tell my life to you?"-ang pabirong sabi nito kay Xi,
"Ay ang daya mo naman,ako nga kanina pa nagkwekwento dito about my life pero ikaw?"-Xi,
"Okay,okay parang nagbibiro lang ,eto naman"-Alpha,
"Okay,sige start ka na"-Xi,
"My family is in another country,I am the only one here in the Philippines.
We are three siblings but because of my obsession with the woman ,my older brother had an accident,kaya sila nasa ibang bansa kase doon nakaconfine ang kuya Timoty ko.
(Kasalanan ko,kasalanan ko kung bakit naaksidente ang kuya ko at kung bakit kinamuhian ako ng mga magulang ko)-ang paiyak na sabi ni Alpha habang nakahimbay sa balikat ni Xi,
"Ano ka ba,hindi mo naman ginusto ang nangyare sa kuya Timoty mo kaya hindi mo kasalanan,at saka kung sa tingin mo hindi ka mahal ng mga magulang mo,nagkakamali ka dahil walang magulang na hindi mahal ang kanilang mga anak.Saka nandito naman kami na mga nagmamahal sayo hindi ka namin iiwan,specially me hinding hindi kita iiwan,okay"-ang palungkot na sinabi ni Xi kay Alpha.

Nagpasalamat si Alpha kay Xi dahil nandiyan siya para sa kaniya.

"Thank you ,thank you because you're there for me,kaya salamat talaga"-Alpha,
"Tigil na,nandito naman ako hindi kita iiwan kahit anong mangyare"-pangiting sabi ni Xi kay Alpha,
"So friends?-Alpha,
"Friends"-Xi

At nagyakapan ang dalawa matapos magbahagi ng sari-sarili nilang kwento ng buhay.

Malapit nang sumapit ang gabi at kailangan na nilang umuwi sa kanilang mga tahanan.

"So,pano ba yan pagabi na and I need to go "-Xi,
"Hatid na kaya kita"-Alpha,
"Hindi na,okay lang,may sasakyan naman ako na dala"-Xi,
"Sigurado ka huh?"-Alpha,
"Oo nga,salamat na lang"-Xi,
"Pero wait lang ,can I get your cellphone number cause you know,we can call each other when we bored HAHAHA?"-Alpha,
"Yeah sure,here"-Xi,
"Okay,got it"-Alpha,
"Take care"-Xi,
"Take care too"-Alpha.

Nagpaalaman na ang dalawa at umuwi sa kani-kanilang bahay para magpahinga at nakawui naman sila ng maayos at ligtas ng walang problema at walang sagabal.

Naging masaya ang araw ng dalawa dahil mas nakilala na nila ang isa't isa at alam na nila kung ano kahinaan at kalakasan ng bawat isa.
