Give Me Love

Chapter Three: If you could see me now

It's eight-thirty-six in the morning.June 10, 2013 . First day of school, can I make it here? It's different here in the Philippines. Till now, I'm still adjusting with the weather, the culture, the food and the traffic. Last time I drove across EDSA and Ortigas, it feels like I'm playing hide and seek, I couldn't find where the u-turn was so I just called Manong Tims to tour me around so I could just drive myself to school.

Now, here I' am standing at the wide quadrangle watching everybody moving, playing basketball, some are chatting with their friends, and there are the girls glaring at me, and HEY! they're glaring at me? Oh bitches, you can't do such things that blondes can do. I laughed at my thought when suddenly Rachelle of Glee started to blare at my ear,

--Yeah, you may think that I'm a zero

But, hey, everyone you wanna be

Probably started off like me

You may say that I'm a freakshow

But, hey, give me just a little time

I bet you're gonna change your mind--

Right timing Rachelle! I smiled. Maybe I look like a psych now.

The bell suddenly rang, I don't know where to go. Umupo muna ako para makuha ko yung paper na binigay sakin nung nag-enroll ako, di ko pa sya nababasa since then.

' THIRD YEAR; SECTION SKYLINE: ROOM 310 BLDG.2 '

Okay...Ang saya nito! Ang saya talaga. Halos wala nang tao sa paligid, sinimulan ko na maglakad. Naaaninag naman pala yung mga number ng rooms sa buildings at nakita ko na nga yung 310, umakyat agad ako. Maganda naman pala dito, but their lockers are green. Not so catchy. I miss the red ones.

' YOU HAVE CLASSES CHANTINE! '

Andito na ko sa harap ng room ko.

I knocked. No one opened the door, I knocked again. Wala padin nagbubukas. Ano ba gusto nilang katok? yung rinig pa sa tatlong building?! I knocked again, This time it's louder.

The door swung open. Long straight black hair, well accessorized, wow! nice make up you got there huh? and a bit taller than me.

I smiled at her, "Good Morning, I suppose you're Ms. Rose Anne Cannes?" I asked him in a soft voice.

Her face lit up, "Yes. And you're Ms. Reyes? " She coughed. "Melaudie Chantine Reyes?"

I shook his hand, "Yes Ms. Cannes."

"Oh, come in. Welcome to Meycauayan College!" She opened the door for me.

Ganito ba talaga sila mang welcome? kulang nalang lechon ah! Pag pasok ko, malawak yung room at maliwanag, malinis naman. Malamig din which is a turn on for me. Pagtingin ko sa mga tao, lahat sila nakatingin sakin,

AWKWARD!

Rule #3: Be cool.

I cleared my throat, "Uhm...Good morning." I smiled, they all yelled

"Hi!" in unison,

"Please introduce yourself." Ms. Cannes said, halos lahat sila nag-lean closer.

Be cool. "Hey! I'm Melaudie Chantine Reyes. fifteen years old. It's just my second time to study here in the Philippines... so, please! Don't eat me or something like that." They all laughed. May mga babae na nagbubulungan at napansin ko na sila yung nakatitig sakin kanina sa quadrangle, di ko nalang pinansin.

"Okay Ms. Reyes, please sit in the middle of Mr. Galvez and Ms. Rudica." Tinuro nya yung nasaibaba ng aircon, alphabetic daw kasi. Lumapit na ako, bago ako umupo nakipagshake hands muna ako sa kanila.
