CHAPTER 1: FIRST DAY HIGH (PART 1)

CHAPTER 1

MICAH’S POV

*CARL’S BISTRO

"Oooh we called it off again last night

But Oooh, this time I'm telling you, I'm telling you

We are never ever ever getting back together

*music playing from the radio:" WE ARE NEVER EVER GETTING BACK TOGETHER by Taylor Swift"

 We are never ever ever getting back together

You go talk to your friends talk

To my friends talk to me

But we are never ever ever ever getting back together"

 

 “I’m on my way na, Bee.” ---Mitch

I just received a text from my friend, Mitch. Naghihintay at nagsa-soundtrip  ako ngayon sa harap ng Bistro ni Kuya Carl, an alumnus from our school, St. Francis High... First day of school ngayon and it’s our Senior Year. Parang ang bilis ng panahon,  parang kahapon lang magkaka-away pa kami, tapos ngayon halos hindi na kami maghiwalay. Nakakasawa na nga ehh lol XDD

At dahil excited akong pumasok ngayon, maaga akong nagising. Tapos bigla naalala kong na naman yung first day ng Freshman Year namin...

FLASHBACK

"Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone

I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run

You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess

It's a love story baby just say yes"

 *music playing loudly from the radio - "LOVE STORY by Taylor Swift"

“Good morning!! First day of school naaaa!! Highschool na rin tayo, guys!! Super excited na ako!! Gm :))” --- Nouelle’s gm

Si Nouelle talaga kung makapag-gm, wagas!! 6:00 a.m. palang kaya!! Hay nakooo!! So dahil nagmamadali ako, di ko na muna sya nireplyan... Ang sama ko lang, noh??!! Lol

After ko maligo, sinuot ko na yung uniform ko. White long sleeves, sweater vest na dark blue tapos ribbon, checkered skirt na 2 inches above the knee with matching knee-high socks... Arte lang,diba?? Kinuha ko na rin yung new bag ko na bili ni Mama. Para daw lahat ng gagamitin ko sa school is bago. Sabi nga niya, “New friends, new school and new life,” taray ni Mama, diba??

Bago ako bumaba from my room to have breakfast, tinignan ko na muna yung sarili ko sa salamin.. Hhmm.. Not bad... hindi ko na rin kailangan pang mag-make-up dahil hindi naman ako maalam XD

“Hingang malalim, Mics!! It’s your first day in high school! And, remember, make your high school days fun!! Umiwas ka lang sa gulo and stay with your friends and focus on your studies!”

So, after kong kausapin ang sarili ko  XD, bumaba na ako para mag-breakfast tapos nag-paalam kina Mama.. Since walking distance lang naman ang school from our house, naglakad na lang ako.. Tapos biglang nagtext si Dia, “Mics!! San ka na?? We’re all here na. Hintayin ka na lang namin dito sa may harap, ok??” Then I replied, “Papunta na ako. Just wait for me there na lang.”
