The clouds are heavy, It's raining. I went to the waiting sched and I sat on the branches as I wait for a tricycle. I checked my phone and it's 2:30 in the afternoon. I suddenly heard a voice calling my name from afar.

"Vien!!" I heard it twice and I saw my friend Kenneth, he's the one who's calling me so I asked him.

"What's up?" He responded with  "Ay wow, englishero nga sya!" I laughed.

"Oh, bakit ba? bawal ba mag english?" I asked.

"Hindi naman sa ganon-- pero nabalitaan mo na ba yung transferee?" he asked me too and then I answered him.

"Hindi? Onis bayang tarantadong yan? kung sino man yang bullshit nayan, I'm not interested. So dun ka sa far away." I said, but in reality, hindi pa ako nakaka-move-on sa ex ko even though we've broken up for 2 years, siya pa rin talaga. I feel like I'm still not ready to commit for a new relationship.

Time check, it's 3:40 pm. Kenneth and I went to school around 3:00 by riding a tricycle na dumaan lang and now we're here at school taking our first subject which is Science; my one and only favorite subject of all time.

I'm looking for the transferee student that Kenneth mentioned earlier.

I couldn't find him sa room and then suddenly, someone is knocking on the door.

A few moments passed and he finally entered the room. I was stunned by his face-- ang pogi nya shett!! Aamin ko guys, I'm straight as a ruler but I don't know what kind of electricity it is. Para akong nabaliko for him!

"Good afternoon everyone, my name is Jay Rick Gonzales and I'm 18 years old. Hoping na makasundo ko kayong lahat dito." Then he looked at me as he winked, smiling sweetly at me.

I blushed a little when he sat  next to me. I was in my bashful mode that time that I couldn't even look at him kasi WHAT THE FUCK! Hindi ko alam kung anong  mararamdaman ko that time kasi he looks like a celebrity.

"Pst! Huy! May I know your name? If you don't mind me asking." He smiled again.  So I answered,

"Uhm.. yeah, sure--it's Bienvinido Dela Fuentes."  "Wow! you have such a unique name! but-- how do you spell that?" He asked again.

We talked a lot tungkol sa kung anu-ano lang na mga chika na pumasok sa utak namin. May time na diko kilala yung kinukuwento nya pero seryoso siya about sa kinukuwento nya kaya sinasakyan ko nalang ang mga stories niya.

After our class, he asked me to join him for dinner. Treat niya raw ako for being the first person he ever talked to in the class-- and sino ba naman ako diba para tumanggi? So I said yes, I'll come with him.

Nakauwi na ako at dali-dali akong nag shower, after that, pumunta na ako sa room ko para mag bihis.

I can't decide what I'm going to wear tonight kasi there's a lot of options and I almost forgot na I have a parcel pala from online na dumating na so I asked my mom if nasaan yung parcel ko, so she said "Nandiyan sa aparador ko, nilabhan ko na kanina para masukat mo na pag-uwi mo" I thanked her before getting changed and so on.
