Monday to Friday of this week, during school hours at the school's quadrangle. See you there!

"Anong sasalihan mo?" tanong ng katabi ko 

"Di ko pa nga alam ehh pero I'm looking forward to be on the cheerleading team." pag-aalangan namang sagot ng katabi niya. (syempre hindi ako yung tinanong niya, hindi ko nga sila kilala ehh and for sure same din sila sa'kin)

"Eh ikaw Angela?" (teka, pangalan ko yun ahh...)

"Huh?" shock kong tanong (I just wanted to assure kung ako nga talaga yung Angela-ng tinutukoy niya)

"May napupusuan ka na bang club na sasalihan?" (mukang ako naman yung kausap niya)

"W-wala pa ehh. Ikaw ba?" 

"Gusto ko sanang maging part ng varsity."

"What sport?"

"Volleyball, siguro. Ikaw?  Wala ka bang hilig sa sports? Kahit board games?"

"Taong bahay kasi ako ehh, di ako masyadong nag-eexert ng physical movements. Kung board games naman, okay lang din. Pero hindi naman ako magaling, marunong lang" pagpapaliwanag ko.

"Ahh, I see."

...

"Sige ha, mauna na kami sa quadrangle" pagpapaalam niya after a short silence, sabay aya sa kausap niya kanina.

"Sige lang." I just agree. (gusto ko sanang sumabay, kaso nakakahiya naman)

"Byiiee!" 

"Bye!"

"Ba-bye!"

Did that scene really happen?

Did I just talk to a stranger?

a sweet stranger?

O.O

"Okay. This school's weird! How come alam nila ang pangalan ko when the fact is I only saw their faces earlier. Stalker ko ba sila? Naahh.. Of course not! They're too sweet to become a stalker, malabo yun. Siguro, it's the 'entrance examination' thing again." nakapahalumbaba kong sabi sa sarili ko (para akong baliw, kinakausap ko sarili ko)

"Bahala kayo magkanda-ugagang maghanap ng clubs na sasalihan, matutulog na lang ako. Until Friday pa naman yan ehh, marami pang oras!" 

Ugali ko kasing tuwing last day na kumilos, feeling ko kasi I'm waiting for something to come along para in case na there are sudden changes, or even a Superman to save me from doing such. Para naman hindi sayang effort. (tamad ko noh? but admit it, may point din naman ako)

 --

"Hoy, freshman! Why are you still here? Di ka ba magsa-sign up for any application for any clubs?" (asar 'to ahh, nakitang natutulog yung tao ehh bigla namang nang-istorbo)

"Hanggang Friday pa naman po yun di ba? I still have enough time to think of it."

"Tinatamad ka lang ata ehh" (paki mo ba!)

"Hindi naman po sa ganun, I'm still searching in my mind for a good club na sasalihan ko for the entire school year."

"Bulok na palusot! Sige, pagbibigyan kita ngayon but once na hindi ko nakita ang pangalan mo on any lists of all the clubs, I will give you a certain punishment, ok?"
