KIANNA DELACRUZ SIDE

It's been an hour after the conversation between me and Kev. Nakaka-awkward yung ganon. Parang a little bit romantic yung eksena namin kanina. Hinawakan niya kasi ang mga kamay ko nang pigilan niya akong pumunta sa guidance office, just because he is also willingly accepted the suspension given to us. Hindi ko alam kung bakit gusto niya ring masuspend. Ako naman kasi talaga ang may kasalanan nang lahat. Sinagot-sagot ko si Miss Wun and also the Guidance counselor, and why Kevin is being involved with me?

Hindi rin naman siya siguro gumawa ng kung anong ikagagalit nina Miss Wun nang magwalk-out ako. Kahit di ko gaanong kilala si Kevin, may parte sa isip ko na naniniwalang hindi niya kayang i-disrespect ang mga teachers. Kasi pagdating palang sa akin, he gaves me full respect.

Ano nang gagawin ko? It's the first day of school, and ive been in trouble already. I don't know why this is happening. Paano ko ba sasabihin kina Mom and Dad na nasuspend ako for almost one week, I don't want them to be disappointed to me. They have done a lot just to fulfill my needs.

Nasa bahay na ako ngayon, im on my room, thinking about things and ways to do my confession to my parents. Nauna na akong umuwi kay Kev. Ayoko na rin namang tumambay pa sa school, and also being a suspended student, ano pang halaga na pumasok ako sa school, eh hindi naman ako tatanggapin ng mga teachers ko. Remember, it's one week suspension.

Hindi ko maiwasang hindi mag-alala kay Kevin. Kasalanan ko lahat ng ito eh. Bakit kailangan niya pang madamay. I should text him and ask for forgiveness. It's all my fault and he did nothing wrong.

I get my phone and texted him.

Me: Kev, im sorry.

Ipinatong ko na ang phone ko sa desk behind my bed. Humiga ako sa kama at nag-iisip-isip. What should I do? What fucking things do I have to do? Well, kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit meron akong phone number ni Kev, well I get his contact lately in school, and he didn't thinked twice o give it to me.

Ilang sandal pa'y tumunog ang phone ko. There was a text message.

I opened the message and it is from Kev.

Kevin : For what? Kung tungkol lang sa suspension issues, no need to say sorry.

Me: It's all my fault, so I have to.

Kevin: You should rest yourself.

Ilang sandal pa'y may kumatok sa pinto ng kwarto ko.

"Who's that?" I asked from inside my room.

"Miss. Kianna?" boses ni aleng minda.

"Uhm. Yes po?"

"Your dad and mom is waiting for you at the sala." She said.

"Okay, tell them I'll be there in a while." –me.

"Okay miss Kianna." – Aleng Minda.

Oh my Gosh. Mom and dad are already home. What should I do? Kianna think an alternative way to comnfess to them that you are being suspended for one week in your school. GOSHH!

Bumaba na ako suot-suot ang kabadong mukha. I don't know what to do and what to say to them. Pagkarating ko sa sala, eh nagmano ako sa kanila.

"So how's school, baby?" Mom asked. What should I reply?
