chapter four: The Field Trip Introduction

Chapter Four

"Education should be for everyone. Mahirap man o mayaman." Sabi nga. But this is the opposite in SJHigh. St. Joseph Academy Laboratory High School is one of the prominent Schools in the Region. 

It is a private institution that offers advance learnings in technology. Medyo may kamahalan ang school dahil nagtataglay ito ng kompletong learning facilities. 

Kumpleto ito ng science laboratories, high-end computer laboratories, may gymnasium/basketball covered court, 3 swimming pools, soccer/baseball field, ballroom and dancing facility, for the music enthusiasts, merong sariling recording studio at FM radio station sa loob mismo ng paaralan. 

Dahil sa dami ng extra curricular activities na mapagpipilian, students are assured of the best and exciting learning process. Ang kapalit niyon ay mahal na tuition fees. 

But who cares, if it means the best education, bakit mo panghihinayangan ang para sa edukasyon ng iyong anak, ayon sa mga magulang na willing ibigay ang best among the rest para sa kanilang anak.

All in all, makakapag-aral ka lang sa St. Joseph's on two basis, (one), you can afford the high tuition fee cost or (two) you got a scholarships from wealthy Philantropists who are sponsors and contributors to the school.

One of the most anticipated activities is the field trip. This year, it is going to be held in Legaspi Albay. The activity will be like a team building, it is like a fun learning activity that aims to promote good camaraderie among students. Their fieldtrip's destination is Misibis bay in Legaspi Albay.

Alex and the group will be on Bus A, and so as Trisha and her group. Kasama nila ang iba pang populars ng High School.

Nauna na sina Karen at Joyce sa bus. Nagtext na lang siya kay Karen na ireserve siya ng mauupuan.

Medyo mahuhuli siya ng kaunti kasi among the three of them siya ang pinakamabagal mag ayos ng sarili.

She chooses to wear a more ladylike by mixing fabrics like jersey and lace. She looks dressy and chic and it is perfect for the eventfull day ahead.

Seven am ang schedule ng take off ng bus going to Legaspi. Nagtext si Karen na bilisan na niya kasi ilan na lang silang hinihintay ng bus.

Anyway nasa vicinity na siya ng school kaya di sya kinakabahan na maiwanan. Ilang minuto lang ay natatanaw na niya ang bus  malapit sa may oval field.

Nakita niyang bahagyang hinawi ni Karen ang nakatakip na window curtain at kumaway ito sa kanya sabay senyas na dalian niya. Gumanti sya ng kaway dito at binilisan ang paglalakad.

Pag-akyat niya sa bus ay agad niyang nakita ang grupo ni Trisha who are Occupying the front row seat. Agad itong nakairap sa kanya pero di niya ito pinansin.

Tuloy lang sya, ngumiti sya sa driver na inalalayan naman siyang makaakyat.

Being the last to come sa kanya nakatuon ang tingin ng lahat ng nakasakay na at prenteng nakaupo sa bus naghihintay for the take-off.

Sa kanyang pag angat ng paningin ay nagawi ang kanyang mata particular sa lalaking nakaupo sa bandang likuran ng row nina Trisha.

It was Adrian Cuaresma and he was looking at her intensely.

The guy was wearing a jag printed shirt na pinatungan ng gold and red varsity jacket at faded blue jeans. 

He was very boyish at hindi niya maiwasang humanga na naman dito. Their gaze were locked up.

Yung feeling na para bang tumigil ang pag ikot ng mundo and as if silang dalawa lang ang taong nandun.
