The Summer I Met You (Under Revision)

II

I woke up to a knock on my door. "Stella! Gising na it's already six!" 'Di ko ata narinig yung alarm ko kanina.

I hurried to the bathroom to get ready, after that bumaba na agad ako wearing my uniform and my hair still damped.

"I told you gumising ka ng maaga." Ahia scolded me while he was drinking his coffee.

"I know, sorry na." I only grabbed a strawberry milk from the fridge before running to the parked car outside our house.

I wasn't really late when I got to school.

"Kelan ka kaya papasok ng maaga?" My friend Kelly asked while answering her unfinished assignment.

"Busy ako, okay? I'm still adjusting my body clock." I shrugged.

"Sure sure, also yung ex mo may bagong nililigawan. I heard from Clint kanina." I was dumbfounded. Ang bilis naman nun makamove on. Akala ko ba... hays never mind!

"I don't care." I stared at her. "Manligaw sha all he wants, I really don't give an F right now."

"Oh well, aalamin ko pa kung sino pero iapapaalam ko agad sayo pag nalaman ko." She continued writing.

After a while nagsimula na ang klase namin. During the breaktime dumadaan daan ako sa classroom nya. He seemed really happy. Lucky girl.

"Huy!" Kelly yelled from behind me." Ano na? Susulyap sulyap lang?"

"Be quiet nga! Anong gagawin ko lalapitan ko?"

"Lapitan mo na, sayang naman oh." He looked at him.

"Ayoko. Hindi pwede." Umiling ako tsaka naglakad palayo.

"Dali na! Stella! Isipin mo nalang na ikakapayapa ng isip mo pag nakausap mo ulit si Gabe!" She was catching up with me.

"Gosh Kelly, wag kang mag eskandalo." I stopped. " alam mo naman eh, pag lumapit ako sakaniya baka maging marupok ako."

After nun hindi na nya ako kinulit. Tama naman ako eh, kaya nga pigil na pigil ako sa sarili kong lumapit sakaniya.

Six more glasses passed before school ended.

"Uwi ka agad?" Kelly was putting books in her locker.

"Yes." I locked mine.

"Join us! Mag rereview kami sa cafè malapit dito." She then locked her locker.

"Can't. Hindi papayag si Ahia and it's saturday tomorrow... may after school activities pa'ko diba?" I smiled.

Umiling sha. "Get a life girl."

I chuckled before picking up my bag from the floor. Bumaba na kami sa ground floor ng school and my driver was already there.

"Ingat!" Kelly waved.

When I got home ibinigay ko yung bag ko sa kasambahay para ihatid sa kwarto ko while I went to the living room.

"Ahma!" I run towars her and hugged her.

"My star, Congrats. I have a gift." She said before point at the large, rectangular, yellow box on the sofa.

"What's this?" I picked up the box before sitting down.

"Open it to find out." She sat beside me.

I did and it reveal a violin case.

"Oh my... thank you Ahma!" I immediately  opened the case to see a white 4/4 violin with my initial engraved near the bridge.

"I'm glad you liked it. Namention ng Ahia mo sa'kin, make Ahma proud, okay Stella?" I nodded before looking back the violin.

I opened it and it revealed a case
