MIKHA'S POV

"Ano ba ‘yan Miks, college na tayo wala ka pa rin bang balak magbago ng style mo sa pananamit?" iritang tanong sa'kin ni Jhoanna habang nakasalampak sa sofa.

"Oo nga bro, may itsura ka naman pero hindi ko alam kung bakit ganiyan ka pumorma." Gwen added while busy typing on her phone.

"Piskit kayo! Hayaan n'yo na nga si Miks, d'yan s'ya comfortable eh." pag-tatanggol sa'kin ni Ate Colet habang nagsasapatos.

Hindi na lang ako umimik, sanay na ako and I don't care rin naman dahil just like Ate Colet said, comfortable ako sa itsura ko—wearing my baggy clothes and thick eyeglasses.

"Tara na." aya sa'min ni Ate Colet after n'yang magsapatos.

We're living in the same house.

They're not my relatives or anything, but they're my friends since birth because our parents are best friends too.

Sila lang ang naging kaibigan ko simula pagkabata, aside from our playmates before when we were kids bago kami nag-migrate sa America, pero I forgot their names dahil we were too young back then.

We've only been back in the Philippines for two months since Jhoanna's antics got our parents to kick our butts to study here.

The three of them almost got jailed dahil sa pag-paparty nila. Hindi ako kasama because I'm not into that kind of stuff. Wala lang akong choice dahil ayaw ko naman magpaiwan sa America.

They're annoying madalas pero hindi ko kaya mabuhay ng wala sila, and besides, I'm going to miss the Philippines too.

"Ayaw ko, hindi ako sasabay sa inyo." I stated while grabbing my bag.

"Sira ka ba? First day, Mikha. Tingin mo kakayanin mo na walang kasama?" Medyo irita na tanong ni Ate Colet, but I can sense her concern.

"I will. I want peace, guys, so please." I blurted out.

"So salot kami, ganon?" bara sa'kin ni Jhoanna.

"Hindi naman, pero gusto ko tahimik na buhay ngayon, guys. I know we're in a new place right now, but kahit hindi kayo ganon kasikat dito compared sa States, you're quite famous pa rin. Gusto ko naman mag-aral ng normal." I explained.

My friends were famous in our school back then and also on social media because they're a band.

They compose songs, play instruments, and they're also models for famous brands.

And the fact that they're daughters of famous business tycoons around the world.

They have the looks, pare-parehas maporma, and they're all extroverts din, pero medyo nonchalant si Gwen.

And then the fact that I'm friends with them, madalas ako nabu-bully sa school noon dahil bakit daw nakikipagkaibigan sa'kin sila Ate Colet, eh ang baduy-baduy ko raw pumorma at wala raw akong itsura.
