First day of High School

I instantly woke when I heard the sound of the news from the T.V.
It was my mom who turned it on. It is the cue that I have to get up and prepare for school.

First day of school excites me, of course, who doesn't? I got new school supplies, new uniforms, new shoes, new bags and also additional allowance. 🤪

I sit first beside my bed, just to pull myself together. I'm nervous and excited at the same time. Nervous because of the new environment, new teachers, new classmates new routines and activities. And excited because I'm just excited.😂

"Ate! Kakain na." Mama. Yes, Ate! They call me ate because I'm the eldest.

"Teka lang" sounds disrespectful? Well, that's not my thing. I may not showing respect thru my words but you can see it thru my actions.

I get up and get both ends of my blanket to tuck it in my bed. Pat my pillows and done! Fixed beddings.

I went down to to grab breakfast, after eating its time to do the rituals. Take a bath, morning regimen, get dressed, go to school.

*School

I got here just on time, before 7:15.
I went straight to the gymnasium, for the Ag Ceremony. I saw some of my former classmates in Elementary, so I joined them.
Freshmens are gathered in front nearby the stage. Once the flag ceremony was done. All the freshmens will stay in the gym and the other levels will go to their designated classrooms.
They called out our names for the sectioning.
My name called out and Im in section Jade, I saw some of my batch mates in the line, so I know some of them. I t wouldn't be hard for me to get friends.
We were told to follow our teacher, as I was walking and following my classmates I can see that we are going to pass by the rooms of juniors and seniors. Left side is the building which has 4 rooms for the pilot sections, which means building ng mga marurunong at magagaling. The building across to it which is on the right side is the building of the seniors or fourth year. We went straight and I saw a single classroom "audio visual room" as what is written on sign on the door, they said that it is being occupied by 1 section in junior or 3rd yr. Then we went to the right, across the audio visual room, I saw a room "Home Economics" as what is written on the sign. We went in and the teacher said the room will be our temporary classroom. It looks fine tho I can sense that it will be hot inside. Since it is the first day of school, wala masyadong ginawa we just introduced ourselves and explained to us the rules and regulations of the school.

I met 2 guys, tho I can smell that they are green blooded, I didn't bother to ask. They look nice and very fun to be with so I befriended them plus I have some girls friends.
The day went well, its like getting-to-know-everyone-day. I went home safe and sound. 😂

A month passed by, i was outside the classroom chitchatting with my friends, its during lunch time so we got the time. Theres a hallway in front of our classroom's gate across to it is the audio visual room. Some students from the audio visual room are standing by the hallway.

When a guy caught my attention. Medyo singkit, sarap ng boses haha! Matangkad, ganda ng ngiti nya. Mukhang harmless. I stared at him for like 30 seconds. Then I saw he laughed with his friends {aww! So cute! 😍}
While I was talking with my friends, I cant help it but to take a glimpse at him time by time.
Then I can't take it anymore.

"Anong name nya, that guy standing next to the pole" hoping she knows him.

"Ah! Si Travis Henry Cole." Good thing she knew.

"Travis Henry Cole" I repeated

"Bakit? Crush mo? Haha yieee!" Grabe ang conclusion nya ahaha!

"Hindi ah!" I denied. Aba syempre kelangan sa buhay mag deny kahit minsan hahaha! Then I barged in our classroom, baka kung ano pang masabi nya.

Months after, we transfer to our real classroom, the left side of our classroom is a building, which has 6 rooms, 3rooms down 2nd year sections and 1 3rd year section, 3up 3 3rd yr sections. And at the right side of our classroom is a 2nd yr section classroom, section peach.
My section Jade is at the center.

So ayun na nga I got my first crush's name
