"Joyce!"
Almost 8 years na ang nakalipas.The last time I saw Kuya Santi and Kris was 8 years ago. They came back last Christmas vacation on the same year they left then after that I have never seen them again. Time passed and I'm turning 17 next 3 months. College student na rin ang peg ko ngayon. Today is my first day with my new university. We chose to live and study in Manila to be with my friends: Bien, Dexel and Zac, and dahil na rin mas magaganda raw ang quality ng education sa mga universities dito. I'm living with Tita Yanni since I was 10 years old. My mom is still working in Hongkong to sustain my needs in school. Where's my Dad? He found a new family, lets not talk about him.
"..what are you still doing upstairs? Andito na si Zac." Sabi ni Tita Yanni.
Matagal na kong hinahatid sundo ni Zac. Sinabihan ko na siya before na masyado pa kaming bata para sa ligaw ligaw but he insisted. Naging masugid ko siyang manliligaw kaya't sinagot ko siya nung valentines day this year. Since 2nd year high school pa kasi niya ko sinusuyo.
"I'm coming!" sagot ni Joyce. Nang makababa na si Joyce ay agad inabot ng Tita niya ang packed lunch niya. "Tita? You don't have to do this.."
"But you always bring lunch since gradeschool diba?" sambit ng Tita niya.
"And that was because I'm still young but now Tita, I'm no longer a kid. I can buy food from canteen na." sagot ni Joyce.
"Pero..--"
"Tita, we have to go now. Ikaw na lang po magbaon niyan. Mas kailangan mo po yan sa work mo. babye! I love you!" pamamaalam ni Joyce sa Tita niya tsaka siya bumeso at umalis kasama ni Zac.
Sumakay na sila sa bagong kotse ni Zac. Binili niya ito bago sila umalis sa probinsya.
"So how was Manila for you?" tanong ni Zac.
"Good for now. 1 week palang naman kami dito. Where's everybody?" pag-iiba ng usapan ni Joyce.
"We are on our way to their houses. Inuna lang kita kasi baka tulog ka pa pag dinatnan ka namin." sagot ni Zac sabay tawa.
"Okay?"
"Tatampo ka na agad? Anyway, I got a new puppy for you."
"ha? where?!" asked by Joyce who looks excited.
"At my place. I can't bring him today. Before I drive you home later, daan muna tayo sa house."
"Okay!" sabay ngiti niya sa boyfriend niya.
Sinundo nila sila Bien at Dexel sa house nila. Magkapitbahay lang ang dalawa kaya't madali lang nilang napick-up. Nang makarating sila sa school ay dun na rin sila naghiwa-hiwalay. Iba iba kasi ang itetake nilang course kaya't iba iba rin sila ng building na pupuntahan. Magkasama pa rin sila Dexel at Bien habang si Zac ay hinatid muna si Joyce sa room nito bago pumunta sa meeting for the basketball team.
Pagkapasok ni Joyce ay hiyang-hiya pa siyang humanap ng mga bagong kaibigan. Nang maupo siya ay may lumapit sa kanyang tatlong lalaki asking for her name.
"Ha? I'm Joyce Gillian."
"Hello. Nice name Joyce. I'm George. this is Paul and this is Rui." pagpapakilala nito.
"Ah okay. Nice to meet you." sagot naman ni Joyce sabay ngiti.
"Can you eat with us later?" tanong ni Paul.
