The day went by fast. that now, I see myself standing infront of our school. Kinakabahan ako habang hindi rin alam kung ano ang dapat gagawin. Back there in Manila, i've always been confident. But here.. I seemed lost.

Well, it's just my first day. Hopefully gagaan din ang loob ko sa lugar na ito habang tumatagal.

"Miss, ID mo." ani ng Guard sa entrance ng eskwelahan.

Mabilis kong ipinakita sa kaniya iyon na nakasabit lamang sa aking leeg. I saw him nod and gestured for me to go inside the USC building.

I kept on glancing towards each student I encounter. Pilit ko rin na inaalala lahat ng daan na aking nalalakaran.

"Uh hi! Excuse me." I approached a girl that seemed friendly.

Nilingon ako nito at nginitian. She had a very angelic face with her. "Yes?"

"Can I ask? Saan dito iyong Announcement Board?"

She looked confused for a moment buy then a glint of realization came across her face, "Ah iyong bulletin ba?" aniya.

I nodded immediately. Ang sabi nina Iana sa akin ay roon daw ako umuna dahil doon nakikita kung saang room ako papasok ngayong araw. I already had my schedule but they said it's still not applicable for the first day of school.

"I'm also heading there. You can come with me." she suggested.

Hindi na ako nagpakipot pa at agad na sumunod na sa kaniya. My assumption about her being friendly was really true dahil lahat ng nadadaanan naming mga estudyante na binabati siya ay binabati at nginingitian niya rin pabalik.

Even if she still didn't introduce herself ay base sa itinatawag sa kaniya ng iba ay mukhang Sierra ang pangalan nito.

"You're pretty famous." I pounted out.

Nilingon niya ako at mahinhin na ngumiti. "I'm not. It's probably just because of my brother."

Tumango na lamang ako at hindi na nagsalita muli. So that probably means that his brother is also one of the school heartrobs in some school here. Hindi naman mapagkakaila ata na gwapo rin ang kapatid nito dahil base lamang sa mukha nitong si Sierra ay mukha talagang anghel na bumaba sa lupa.

"We're here." aniya.

I faced at the bulletin board and tried to find my name from my grade level. Marami pa rin ang tao rito kaya ay pilit naman akong sumiksik sa gilid.

"What's your full name? at tiyaka grade level na rin." saad ko at tiningnan si Sierra sa aking likuran.

She looked at me confusingly, "K-killa Asierra Montero."

"First year college."

That's good to know that we're on the same grade level. Naging mabilis ang paghahanap ko sa ngalan naming dalawa dahil nasa iisang papel lang ito.

"Room 512" I stated.

She looked at me, "Your room?"

"Ours."

I saw a glint of shock that was displayed on her face but she tried to immediately get rid of it.

"You're also a first year?" she asked.

"Yup! I guess we're classmates."

She smiled at me genuinely and chuckled. "That's great. It's nice to have a familiar face in the same room."

Kumunot ang noo ko sa sinaad nito, "Based from what I witnessed earlier, it seems like you have a lot of friends in this school."

"They're not my friends. They just greet me all the time."
