"Battle of the Bands"
Yan ang naka paskil sa bulletin board sa hallway ng school namin.
"Battle wherein you show your true colors.
Show off your talent.
Fly like a butterfly.
Join now. Register on the List provided below."
Natatawa kong basa dito.
Kase naman eh ! Show your true colors? Fly like a butterfly? Lol. No. What kind of catchy phrase is that.
Anyway.
Nag sign up ako.
I did mention that I was talented right? Hindi sa self puri ha? But don't underestimate my skills.
"Oh Hi Crazy Ugly Ronica, Nag sign up ka din? Goodluck then." Sabay wink niya paalis. Sino yun?
My Bestfriend. Wait . Yuck ! No. My Sworn enemy.
Hindi ko sya actually tinuturing na enemy. She just finds me more like a fellow competitor.
We were friends back in high school.
Masasabi ko ding good friends kami.
Although, One time.
When our teacher announced that I was top 1, She just. Well? She started to treat everything like a competition.
Top Notcher kase siya. Me too.
Pero nag stay ako sa Top 2 at minentain ko na hanggang dun lang talaga.
Kase ayaw ko nga sya maging ka-kompetensya.
Di siya sanay na below siya.
Gusto niya angat siya sa lahat.
Well? I don't blame her for that though.
Strict ang parents niya at breadwinner siya. So what do you expect?
She's Alyssah Montero By the way.
I walked back to class kase 8 am na. Mukhang magsisimula na ang klase.
So I took my seat, Napatingin din ako sa buong classroom.
Wala si Maxx. Normally dun siya sa last row malapit sa bintana naka pwesto. Nakayuko at natutulog. Pero wala siya ngayon. Palihim kong kinuha ang cellphone ko.
I immidiately sent him a text.
"Hey Maxx? Where are you? Ba't wala ka sa room? Di ka ba pumasok? Are you sick? Do you want me to come over?Text me if you're not too busy okay? Iloveyou!"
Tinago ko na agad ang phone ko at sakto naman na dumating yung teacher namin.
Nakinig nalang ako sa lesson.
Bla. Bla. Bla.
I'm smart, This is just Basic.
