The Right Time

“Love is like the signs in Mathematics. In Math, positive multiplied in negative is negative. In Love, the right thing at the wrong time is still a wrong thing.”
“Good Morning sunshine!” I greeted as I woke up. It’s a Monday morning of June and it’s already the start of my college life.
“Hay! What is the feeling of being a college student?” I asked myself, still in bed. Then when I look to my wall clock, “Oh God! I will be late!” so I got up and went to the bathroom.
When I finished taking the bath, I dress up then go to the kitchen and eat. There, I saw my brother and my loving mother.
”Good Morning Oppa and Umma!” I greeted them while sitting at the dining.
“Good morning, little princess! Are you ready for your school?” my brother Zedric asked. “Ah, a little bit. But I feel nervous yet excited! Is it good in college?” I reply.
“Well yeah, you will learn a lot and will experience a lot.” He said. “Hey, the two of you! Eat faster; you will be late in school.” Our mother interrupted.
“Yes Umma!’
After we ate, I get my things and ready to go to school. As usual, I ride in a Jeep. I always come in a commute because we don’t have a car. By the way, I will be taking my college at Elastianford University and my course is BSED –ENG. I want to be a teacher in the future. Well, simply because I want to share what I’ve learn to others and to inspire others, and I want to teach English because I found it interesting.
I pulled the string of the jeep to indicate that I’ll be going down. I saw a lot of students are bumping on each other in the gate. Some have their mouth left hanging because of the beauty of the school.
I go inside to find the room 143, section ED – Eng1a. Some of the students are together with their parents. My mother didn’t accompany anymore because she wants me to be independent. Then there I saw the room and I enter. There are only ten students present, six girls, four boys. I sit at the back to wait for the others and to our professor.
It’s already 7:30 and the class started. My professor come I together with a cute guy. He sits beside me, and then I get panic.
“O.M.G! He’s really cute.” I murmured to myself. *o*
“Okay class, good morning. Welcome to Elastianford University and it’s a good thing that you chosen this course. Well, I am Mrs. Lea De Castro, I will be your adviser and at the same time, your professor in some of your subjects.”
“Wow! My professor is very pretty. I’m sure; some of the other professors here have a crush on her. But they are sorry; ma’am De Castro is already married.” I thought to myself.
“So we will start this semester in introducing yourself in front of everybody. Tell all about yourself. Don’t be shy, huh; you are only 12 in this section, so you should get close to everyone. Okay, let’s start in said the first row.” My professor said.
The so called “introducing yourself” started and as far as I get to know them, some of them are from the rich family. I felt ashamed for myself, I starting to conclude that I’m not one of them.
“Next!” I was back to my senses when my professor shouted. I’m the next one to introduce. So I go to the front, breathe in and breathe out.
“Hi, good morning! I am Zania Mae Reyes, from Garciano National Highschool. I’m 16 years old, youngest among three siblings. I have two brothers. My father is a mechanic while my mother is a sewer. I hope that we can be friends. Thank you!” :D
