Start of Summer

_______

Riiingg!! Riiiing!!! Riiiing!!

Agh! Seriously? Ang ganda pa naman ng panaginip ko.

"Sophiiiee! can u turn that off pls bat ba naka alarm ka eh diba last day of school nyo kahapon!" sigaw ni mama sa kabilang kwarto.

O ya!, I forgot to turn it off last night. N'beyen.

I tried going back to sleep pero di na talaga ako makatulog so chineck ko nalang ang phone ko.

1 text message from Megz: "Hey, lets meet up later sa park sa 10:00 sharp. Its so boring dito"

"Okay, see you there" message sent.

Btw, I'm Sophia Rozel (Sophie for short), 15 years old. Megan Dizon is my bff since birth pero Megz ang tawag ko sa kanya. Our moms were besties ren before kame pinangaknak. Isn't that cool? At neighbors pa kame kaya super close kame, we're like sisters. Ever since we were little, sometimes nga akala ng mga tao sa paligid namin magkapatid kame kase magkamuka raw kame.

---

Dumating ako sa park at wala pa si Megz. As expected, late na naman sya. Parati syang nalalate, pati sa school lagi syang nahuhuli sa umaga. Umupo muna ako sa dating spot na lagi naming tinatambayan. Ilang minuto na ang nakalipas at wala paren sya.

Text ko nga lang sya. "Im here na, wer u?"

Ang tagal naman niya, sana hinintay ko nalang sya sa bahay nila.

"Soophiie!!" narinig kong may sumigaw ng pangakan ko sa likoran ko. Tumalikod ako at nakita ko si Megz na nagwawave habang patungo saken. May dala syang dalawang Dorito chips at dalawang nakaplastilk na coke. Nakz, swerte ko talaga.

"Two years later" biro ko pagdating nya

"Ha.ha two years muka mo! Eh sakin nalang kaya tong mga binili ko para sayo" haha pikon agad?

"Ui biro lang to naman" kinuha ko na yung coke at chips ko "shalamat"

"So, anong plans mo ngayong bakasyon?" tanong niya

"Hmm, Idk, boring naman kasi dito eh. I wanna travel ulet katulad last year" we live in a small town kase so there's not that much to see here.

"Ikr, same...Omg guess what?"

"What"

"Let's convince our parents na magbakasyon tayo sa Boracay, oh kaya sa Bohol. There's a chance na papayag sila dahil I'm sure they wouldn't wanna spend their summer na sa bahay lang sila diba haha at tsaka if dito lang tayo, then mamamatay talaga ako sa boredom" may point naman sya.

"Patay agad? 'di ba pwedeng karma muna?" tinitigan nya ako ng seryoso "Oo na, I agree with you"

-Later-

Habang kumakain kame ng dinner with my fam. Tinanong ko kay mommy kung ano ang plans nila ngayong bakasyon.

"Ma, we should go to Boracay kasama nila Tita Che (nanay ni Megz). Mas maganda dun at also very relaxing kaysa naman sa dito lang tayo eh ang boring kaya yun"

"Actually, nag decide na kame ni mommy mo na ipasok ka sa Camp Haven. Mga 3-4 hrs drive outside town, maganda daw dun, at least you will learn and experience alot of things, besides, pumayag ang parents ni Megan na isasama sya with you" sabi ni daddy

"What? Eh anong klasing camp yun? May internet ba dun? Ilang days? Pano pag may mangyari sakin dun eh malayo pa naman sa provinsya, what if..." naputulan ako sa pagsasalita nung nagsalita si mommy. And dami kong tanong na lumalangoy sa isip ko

"Okay, duon, the camp is in the middle of the woods, you get to stay in cabins instead of tents. You'll be staying there in a month and a half, I know that's really long but trust me you'll like it there. Me and your mom visited there the other day to see how it was and maganda pala duon, maganda pa ang view" explain ni daddy

"Yes and walang internet tsaka bawal magdala ng kahit anong gadgets. Also, may small clinic din duon kaya no worries. You'll be starting there on monday next week kaya mag impake kana habang maaga pa" tuloy naman ni mommy. I'm actually kinda exited about it na. Pero I think a month is abit too long.

"Okay, then what are you guys gunno do then? Dito lang ba kayo?" tanong ko

"We havn't decided yet pero definitely hindi dito sa bahay haha" sabi ni dad at natawa naman kaming lahat.

Pagkatapos naming kumain, dumeretsyo ako room ko. Dinial ko num. ni Megz. I wonder if nabalitaan na nya.

Com'on pick up your phone. "Hello?" Finally, sumagot na sya

"Hel-"

"Oh Ehm G! Sophie I was about to call you, alam mo na ba?" sigaw nya at nilayo ko ang phone ko sa tenga ko

"Megz, chill! haha and ya, I just found out. What do you think?"

"I think it'd be really fun. Haha I'm exited na!"

"Ako ren! haha tell me the things your bringing ah. Hehe, I can't wait till next week. Sige Megz, my phone's about to die. Bye na, Mwua" in-end call ko na sya bago mamatay ang phone ko at agad kong chinarge.

-Sunday-

Bukas kaming pupunta sa camp and I'm still not done packing my things. Kasi naman, I have a really bad habit of doing things last minuit. Tinutulungan pa ako ni Megz na magimpake ng mga gamit ko.

"Sophie dalhin mo na ren tong dress oh, baka may dance party tayo dun, bagay pa to sayo" pinakita nya saken yung dress na binigay ni uncle Miguel  saken nung birthday ko. Di ko pa to nagagamit. Sinukat ko muna yung dress if kasha pa saken. It's light pink dress na may light blue lace na naka wrap right above my waist tsaka may bow.

Kashang kasha pa, haha I luv it.

"Hanep! ang ganda mo teh. Kung ako sayo, dalhin ko na yan"

"You know what.. I don't know why I didn't even bother wearing this dress before but I'm so bringing this" sabe ko habang finofold yung dress
