French Kisses

| FRENCH KISSES |

Calvin

First day of my class in the Philippines. I woke up earlier than the usual. It's already in my bodyclock to wake up at eight in the morning, but today, I woke up at five. Nasanay kasi ako dati na September ang umpisa ng klase.

I got myself prepared and ready. Now, I was already looking at the mirror as I dressed myself up. I looked at myself wearing a complete uniform: Navy blue polo with the badge of the university pinned near my left chest and light brown slacks and a pair of black shoes.

I'm not really sure if I look alright or what. Ngayon lang ako magsuot ng uniform after so many years. The last time I wore uniform was when I was in primary school.

Bahala na. Inayos ko nalang ang buhok ko saka nagpabango. Damn, hindi naman ako pupunta sa date. I'm just going to school! Pero may ibang dahilan naman bakit ako nagpapagwapo.

I went to school and slipped my ID on the machine. The first time I got here was like hell! Para akong baby na nawawala at patingin-tingin sa mga signs.

According to my schedule for this semester, M403 would be my first destination and first class. Hmm, sino kaya ang magiging first professor ko? Sana naman maging maganda ang araw ko ngayon.

Pumunta ako sa unang klase ko. Medyo marami ng tao pero wala pang professor. Umupo ako sa pinakalikuran at tinignan ang mga kaklase kong nag-uusap, nagtatawanan, at ang iba ay nakatingin sa akin na ngayon ay umiwas ng tingin dahil nahuli ko lang naman sila.

Most of them were girls.

Ayos rin pala ang uniform sa girls. Navy blue polo like us and a black skirt na hanggang tuhod lang.

"Hi!"

Napatingin ako sa babaeng kulay blonde ang buhok. Mukha siyang filipina lang pero nagpakulay sa buhok ng todo. Nilaklak ata ang hair color. Pansin ko ring hindi kulay itim ang mga buhok dito, uso ba yan dito sa Pinas?

Tumango ako sa kanya pagkatapos kong tinignan ang kabuuan niya, ulo hanggang paa. She has the butts. "Hi, sup?"

"Exhange student?"

She's pretty though. Maputi siya at hindi masyado payat. Pansin ko rin ang paglagay ng konting make-up niya sa mukha.

"Calvin Beaufort," I extended a hand. "from France."

"Oh," Dahan-dahan itong tumango na tila namangha. I smiled in my mind, what's not to be amaze about me? "Sam Welber." She introduced and received my hand.

"Glad to meet you, Sam." I winked.

She blushed. "Don't french people kiss when they greet?"

Now she pushed my green button. I'm just waiting for her to say that. Good thing she knows about greeting etiquettes on kissing in France.

I stood up and kissed her on the cheek, just slightly near her lips. Narinig ko namang napa-oh ang mga tao sa paligid.

"Way to go, Samantha!"

"Let's hang out tonight?" I asked her. Sinasabayan ko lang naman ang paglalandi niya sa akin.

"Of course." Aniya saka hinalikan ulit ako sa labi.
