ESCAPES FROM THE PAST (COLLEGE DARE'S SERIES)

CHAPTER 02

Jushani Amora Malia Suarez :
Colegio De San Pablo. 9am sharp.

Gaile Shin Takahashi :
What?! 9am?! No. I'm going to be late!

Trishia Dovina Carlos :
Edi late ka. Who cares?

Gaile Shin Takahashi :
The fuck Dovina.

Jushani Amora Malia Suarez :
You still have 1 hour Shin. Quick!

I turned off my phone before heading to the garage. I called our driver to bring me to Colegio De San Pablo, an expensive school.

“Just be quick Kuya. I don't want to be late” I told him. He nodded as response before starting the engine. He drove fast, almost 10 minutes before we arrived to Colegio De San Pablo.

“Wait me here. You can buy anything if you're hungry or thirsty. Here's my card, use it”

“Salamat ma'am”

Bumaba na ako at chineck ang oras. It's 8:46 am, they're going right? I don't want to waste my time waiting for them.

I waited inside the gate for almost 8 minutes until Gaile arrive first than Trishia.

“Oh see? Nauna pa ako kay Trishia. Got'ya” she muttered. I glared at her before taking my shades off and put it inside my Chanel handbag.

“Sorry am I late? It's traffic. Keaga-aga” Trishia said. She combed her hair first before following us inside the dean's office.

“Miss Suarez! It's nice to see you again!” Miss Salvarez welcomed us and gestured us to sit on the couch inside her office. “So what can I do for you?”

“G-gusto naming magpa-enroll? Ah! I don't know how to speak straight in Tagalog!” i facepalm. It's so embarrassing to speak in tagalog where you don't know if it's correct or not!

“Oh” she laughed softly.
“You want to enroll? That's a good news Miss Suarez. You don't have to fill up an enrollment form. Just give me your records from your last school this coming first day of school. You're registered!” she clasped her hands happily.

“Thank you Ma'am” Trishia said while smiling. Gaile and I also thanked her before walking out on her office.

“Hindi na tayo mahihirapan. Kay dali lang pala!” Gaile uttered.

“Im not good in speaking tagalog” I whispered but Gaile heared it.

“Tama naman 'yong sinabi mo kanina, eh. Turuan kita mag tagalog, sabihin mo 'mahal kita'” Trishia slap her arms.

“Mahal kita?”

“Owemji. I love you too, Julia. I love you too” I laughed when she said those words. Overreacting.

This coming Monday will be our first day of school. My birth certificate is ready and my school supplies too. All I need to do is relax and feel this summer. I still have 1 week to prepare.

“What's your plan? Si Roxie ba?” I asked them. I heard them chuckle.

[Come on Julia. Act like you don't know Roxie.] Trishia laugh.

“Roxie being her again.”

After a couple of minutes talking to them on the phone. I decided to go jogging for a while, it's 3 in the afternoon but it's fine. Even if it's too hot outside, I need to have some exercise to maintain my fitness.

I go downstairs to get some bottled water and went outside to start jogging. I want to roam around the village. My mom once told me that our village has nice view's and friendly neighborhood's.

After jogging for about 20 minutes, I decided to stop and sat down on the side of the road. Walang dumadaang taxi at motor. I drink some water and breath heavily. Roaming around was a nice choice. The surroundings, the nice view. I'm satisfied.
