Chapter 1: Meet the Nerdy

          Chapter 1: Meet the Nerdy  

"So let me share you our story. Where and when it began, and how it happened. Don't worry because I'll keep this story as short as possible." Napangiti ako habang inaalala ko lahat.

"Everything seem so well a year ago. Ever since I was born I have been living a normal life, well, that is what I thought at least.."

RHIA'S POV

"Everybody loves the things you do. From the way you talk, to the way you move.." I hum as I choose which chips to nib on. "Everybody here is watching you. Cause you feel like home, you're like a dream come true.."

Naka-repeat mode lang ang song na to for almost three days now. Like every time I would put my earphones on this song is what I listen to.

Bukod sa na-lss ako sa song, ito din kasi yung kakantahin ko sa raket ko this week kaya inuulit ulit ko siyang pakinggan. Para mas maunawaan ko na din yung pinaka-mensahe ng kanta. And believe me, this song is very emotional. Hindi ko nga alam kung gaano kalalim ang pinaghuhugutan ni Adele at halos lahat ng kanta niya ganitong klase.

Yes may raket ako. Kumakanta kanta ako sa isang kilalang bristo every Fridays to Sundays. Minsan din sa weekdays kapag free ako. Raket raket lang since mahilig talaga akong tumugtog at kumanta.

Andito ako ngayon sa isang convenient store. Nililibang ko lang sarili ko para kinabukasan. First day of school kasi so I'll be in hell again for the whole year. Yep, impyerno ang tingin ko sa school. Not the school itself since I'm really a hardworking student and never ko pang na-fail parents ko when it comes to my grades, what I am talking about is what's inside the school. You know..

forced interactions,

social climbers,

backstabbers,

non-sense class discussions (I mean learning about some things that you shouldn't have to learn),

mean teachers,

minor subjects na feeling major,

fake friends,

fake people,

bullies (bullies pretty much suck),

and the list goes on and on. How am I supposed to deal with that?

"Thanks!" nakangiti kong sabi dun sa cute na cashier pagkakuha ko nung mga pinamili ko. He's really effin' cute. Hawig nya si Brad Simpson ng The Vamps. Ang landi ko.

Ipinatong ko lahat ng pinamili ko sa round table and I was about to sit when my phone suddenly rang. It's my bestfriend, Daphne. Walang nagsasalita. All I can hear is a loud music and sobs. Wait, is my bestfriend crying?

"Hey, what's the matter? Is everything alright? Asan ka?" I asked eagerly. Bigla akong nakaramdam ng pagaalala kaya napaupo na muna ako.

"H-heyy. Sinagot mo na pala, kala ko tulog ka na naman eh." She said between sobs. She sounded all fine and very happy but it's pretty obvious that she's just faking the tone of her voice. And she also sounded drunk!

"Asan ka at pupuntahan kita."

"I-I don't think so."

"You what?"

"I don't think you'll like this place." Uh, okay. So probably, nasa lugar sya na hindi ko kinatatagalan such as loud and noisy places which alcoholic drinks or refreshments are served. And I know you know exactly where that place is.
