CHAPTER 4:
DAVE'S P.O.V.
"Honey wake up." Mom was calling me from downstairs. It's the first day of school. Bumangon na din ako kasi di naman titigil si mama na bumulyaw hanggang di pa ako nagigising. First things first I always looked for my phone and as I opened it, it was already 6:30 am. Shoot, classes starts at 7:20am.
I dush to the bathroom. I usually boil water before taking a bath. Pero dedma na. Late na e. I'm not sure who's my first teacher and I hope its not Mr. Amurao. I don't want to get a sermon and punishment for the first day of class. Like, what the heck? it's the 1st day and I will have the 1st record? Nah. Then I decided what to wear. 6:45 am. I quickly grabbed a black knee ripped jeans, a white round neck shirt and denim jacket to top.
Went close to the floor length mirror. I quickly grabbed my wax to fix my hair. I usally don't this and just let it air dry on its own. But, you know, this is the first day of school so i need to put a little bit of effort.7:00 am. I quickly put on my addidas superstar and I doubled check my things before I leave. 7:10 am. I heared the school bus honking "Beep! Beep!", Cenon was shouting and was looking for me. I kissed mom's forehead, whispering "Love you" and bade good bye. I ride in to our school bus. They seems to be mad. HAHA! I know the reason. Maybe this is an advantage of getting a school bus. You'll never be late alone. HAHA! Cenon called me to the front seat so that we can talk and only the driver can hear us.
"What took you so long?" Cenon asked.
"Sorry I slept in."
"It seems your not excited to this new school year."
"Dude. It's just school."
"What do you mean, its just school? Aren't you excited to see everyone?"
"Nah."
"Why?"
"I don't have to be excited because they should be the one excited to see me. That's why."
"Hindi ka na nagbago."
"HAHAHA"
We was walking through the hallway and as I walk, there were lot of girls looking at me and some waves at me. Sometimes I smiled back to them or put my eyebrows up or maybe wave back on them. And fist bomb for my close friends
Together with Cenon we went to the classroom to get a seat and we are already late. Thank God, wala pang teacher. May nakita kaming 2 slots na magkakatabing upuan sa left side at 2 din sa right side. Cenon is back to his ways. He told me that he would seat at the left side and I would seat on the right. "Pagandahan tayo ng magiging katabi? Tapos yun na magiging forever mo." That was Cenon, he always wants having a good time so he makes nonsense ideas that actually made a boring day to a little bit of excitement. Pero hanggang lokohan lang yung mga ganun niya. Padami na kami ng padami sa classroom. May tumabi na kay Cenon, It was David our gay classmate that has a crush on Cenon since we're gradeschool. I was laughing hard to him, knowing that he was the one that created the deal.
Mr. Responso entered the class. He apologized for being late because he has to welcome the guests and the parents with concern. He started the class with a prayer. After, he proceed to the handbook discussion. This is for the students to have the knowledge about the rules and regulation of the school. Yea. I already know that. After discussing he then proceed to introducing ourselves infront one by one. Nothing new. Nothing exciting. Its kinda boring. So I texted Cenon.
"What was the name of the transferee you told me?"
"Haha. Jane. Why?"
"I was looking around and saw 5 new faces but I don't know who is jane there."
"Where?"
"Look around. HAHA"
"Introducing starts. Let's see if who's jane."
Everyone went there but I never heared the name of Jane. I think the secretary was making fun of us. Then suddenly, someone was knocking at the door. Mr. Responso went out for a while then when he comes back.
"Student, you have a new classmate. Her name is Jane Zonio. Be nice to her."
She entered the room and its very obvious that she is filled with fear. She has a pale skin, pinkish glossy lips and a long straight hair. She was looking for a seat and the only vacant was the one beside me. As I looked at Cenon with a smile.
