FLASHBACK

I was a highschool student when I met this girl from AUF, she's an open hitter and a little bit short. Pero matinik at mataas ang talon.

We were rivals, tapat ang rotation namin. Blocker siya, blocker din ako. I ducked a little bit to look at her.

"Hey are you teasing me?" I was shocked because of her reaction. Teka, yumuko lang naman ako ah. "Huh? What do you mean?" I said. She smirked. "Kaya ka ba yumuko para mag adjust at ipamukhang maliit ako?" she said. "Excuse me. Hindi po." I said. Then she scowled.

*Prrrrrrt* sabay hirit ng pito. PAK! Nag serve na. Keep your eye on the ball Mika, keep your eye on the ball. Nasa kabila ang bola, okay Mika. Make your Mama proud.

Ara Galang was ahead. She was about to hit the ball when she goaded first and nibbled her lips very gently. PAK! "MIKA! YUNG BOLA!" I was about to block the ball when she squinted. Kaya naudlot yung pag block ko.

Mahirap pala pag hindi ka nakafocus. Ako pa nasisi, well. She's really distractive and I can't help it. She's kinda attractive but I don't like girls... no. I can't.

These thoughts and memories are coming and cycling inside my brain while I was driving. Okay lang naman. Kasi traffic. I'm on my way to St. Scho. Intrams kasi and I am one of their guest. I'm an alumna so obviously medyo nakakahiya kung tatanggihan ko ang invitation nila. Then my phone vibrates.

Keep yourself busy habang traffic. Wag lang masyadong busy baka di mo na mamalayan ang mga kaganapan. Love you.

I simpered. Hindi ko na masyadong napagisipan ang response ko. Nag thank you lang and a lot of happy emojis. I turned on my car's stereo para makinig sa music.

Am I out of my head?
Am I out of my mind?
If you only knew the bad things I like
Don't think that I can explain it
What can I say, it's complicated
Don't matter what you say
Don't matter what you do
I only wanna do bad things to you
So good, that you can't explain it
What can I say, it's complicated

Machine gun kelly. Good song with good lyrics. This is my jam. I adjusted the volume to amplify the song. Traffic parin. Ugh eto ang pinakaayaw ko sa lahat. Wait, someone's calling. It's Kim, I grabbed my phone and adjusted the volume to clearly hear her.

Kim: Miks! HELLO?!
Mika: Hello? Kim? Bakit? Anong meron?
Kim: Tara SB. Boring sa bahay eh.
Mika: Nasa kalagitnaan ako ng traffic. Papunta pa akong St. Scho, intrams dun tsaka guest ako.
Kim: Waah. Bakit lahat nalang kayo hindi pwede? Grabe naman!
Mika: Iba nalang yakagin mo.
Kim: Sino? Si Ara? Si Arang nawawala na. Di malaan kung nasaan. Hahaha!
Mika: Tch. Basta siya nalang! Don't me!
Kim: Kj. Magtae ka sana. Bye!

And she dropped the call. Lokong Kimpanzee. Wow. Sabagay, lagi ngang wala si Ara. Hmm, instagram. Let's see, Ate Cha's instagram story. Full of her goofy stories. Haha! Tsang's story, omg. CATS! Ara's story, okay.. Skateboard, food, and a selfie with her girlfriend. Oh look, nag momove na! Yes. Finally, no more traffic.

St. Scho, it's so nice to be back. There's so many students and I can tell, their faces are so unfamiliar. Unlike before, that I almost knew everyone. There's so many improvements and changes. Hindi na ako sanay, I greeted my former teachers and as well as the non-teaching staffs. Kilala pa nila ako, nakakatuwa!
