It's Not Racket Science

CHAPTER 3

Okay I haven't told you about myself, maybe yes but not totally everything. You see im a 4th year college age 17. Yeah im 17, you might ask why im at 4th year already...well, accelerated.  During grade 4 our homeroom advisor talk to my parents to accelerate me for some reason, but one of them is; she (meaning my advicer) doesn't like me. She told me I ask too many questions. Let me ask you, what's wrong with asking questions? And like I told you before, I'm not genius like my other family members and I'm not lying! But when I take the acceleration exam, unluckily I pass huhuhu and there start my miserable student life. I have to work hard and study hard all the time to meet my grades, because, of course,  I'm a scholar and when you're a scholar you have to maintain your grades and the other reason is my parents expectation, I don't want to disappoint them because im the eldest and im not a genius. Actually the worst part is, im the only one who got accelerated. My siblings are all in normal state. My parents learned their lesson that letting the world know that you're a family of geniuses will put your children in a 'not-normal' situation like what happened to me. So, from then on we, or should I say 'they' decided to just play along and be normal like the others. That's the worst part of being the panganay (eldest), you're the trial and error diba? And you have to take that burden for your younger kapatids but then they will just tease you and give you a headache. Common! Isn't that the worst? Tapos hindi ka pa ma appreciate ng mga makukulit mong kapatid.

Haaaay enough about me. So, you already know what my mom do, she's a scientist and my dad is an inventor, anything that has to do with metal, machines and electricity etc., basta ganun. My sister is a 1st year high school then my twin brothers; grade 5. So....now you know! LOL

"Hoy Kiara! Okay ka lang?"

"Huh? Bakit?" meet Nessa, my bff.  We've been friends since like forever lol.

"Sino kausap mo? Para ka na namang baliw dyan eh. Next class na natin di mo ba pansin? Baka naman gusto mo lang tumunganga dyan, sabihin mo lang" sarcastic of course, lagi naman

"Huh? Hindi ah! Tara na nga ma late pa tayo" aya ko.

"Anong malate, late na talaga tayo! Kanina pa kita ginigising dyan sa dreamland mo, di ka man lang kumikibo. Parang timang lang, na nanaginip ng gising.." banat pa nya, naku pinapagalitan na naman po ako nitong si Vanessa (in short Nessa). Hangang makaabot kami sa next class namin abay, talaga namang di ako tinantanan ng sermon.

"Oo na po madam, sorry na, hindi na"

"Sorry ka dyan! Lagi ka namang tulala..." patuloy ang sermon. Malapit na kami sa classroom pero tuloy pa din ang daldal. Wala pa naman ang professor, kaya okay lang na dumada sya but the same time.......woooooh wala, tameme na ko sa kakasermon nya.

"Hoy Kiara na kikinig ka ba?" tanong nya.

"Huh? Oo hehe" kahit hindi hahaha oh well sanay na ko dyan. Grabe bunganga nyan pero love ko yan.

"Hmmm.." she said with raise eyebrow and cross arms

"Geh na po madam Vanessa, pwede na po ba tayo pumasok sa next class? As you said late na tayo"

"Hmp! Oo na, tara na!"

The whole day went on, 5pm na tatapos last class ko and kadalasan uwi nalang ako diretso if wala namang pinapagawang research sa library professor namin. Sabi nga ni Nessa amboring daw ng life ko kasi walang social life, sabi ko nalang 'pano ako mag kaka social life eh kinuha na ng school lahat ng time ko' obvious naman diba? By the way I'm home na, and I feel so wasted from school.

"How's school?" mom ask.

"Oh well the usual, school pa rin" I said lazily and went straight to my room. Haaaay so tired...di ko na napansin nakatulog na pala ako.
