It's our first day today sa la salle as grade 12 students. Well, my projects for this school year got accepted by the authorities here in our school. 

Like nagustohan nila yung project na prinopose ko na "CET and ACE" wherein lahat kami magtulong-tulong to ace the college entrance exams na sasagutan namin. 

 Break namin ngayon sa class and kasama ko muna si Syd dahil nasa basketball practice si Ricci.

Barkada rin naman namin si Syd dahil kapitbahay rin namin siya sa Tondo pero nagdodorm siya para tipid na pamasahe niya. 

"Grabe, first day palang, na loloka na brain cells ko." Sabi ni Syd. 

"Oo nga eh. Pano pa kaya kung nasa kalagitnaan at patapos na tayo ng school year?" Sabi ko sa kanya. 

 Habang palakad kami sa table, naka salubong namin yung tatlong mean girls sa batch namin. Si Abbi, Denise and Kaye. 

"So, bestie number one is here." Sabi ni Denise.

"Pano ba yan, weak si bestie number one, kasi wala yung superhero niya, si bestie number two."

My jaw clenched don . Even though wala ako sa side ni ricci, I can defend myself. 

Paano ko na defend si ricci nung bata pa kami kung sarili ko hindi ko pa maprotektahan. 

"Excuse me. If you consider me as weak shit, well you guys are wrong ." I said.  "Remember, i can just hurt you guys in just a snap, but i can't."

"I have so much respect sa inyo even though you guys are envious." I chuckled. Umalis na kami ni Syd sa harap nila at naghanap na kami ng spot. 

Those three mean girls. Makikipag away na nga lang sa maling tao pa. 

"Ikaw Therese ha. Alam kong siga ka pero wag mo ng sagarin sa pagiging beast." Syd reminded me. Ganyan si Syd parati. She always remind of my temperance everytime i am mad. She's okay with me for being siga pero ayaw niya lang na go ako beyond the line. 

" I know. And i would like you to thank you for that."

"Nako, Therese ha." Syd tapped me. "Mag pa ka babae ka nga! Kaya ka walang boyfriend eh." Sabi niya while munching her fries.

"As if number ko yan sa priorities ko." I rolled my eyes.

"Oh bakit? Si ricci nga walang girlfriend ah. So what's the matter?" I rolled my eyes at her.

"Pero nag ka roon ng ex?" Syd chuckled. "Sis, alam mo, sa tropa, ikaw lang ang walang experience sa relationship." Sabi niya.

Well that's true. Lima kami sa squad namin. Ako, si Ricci, Syd, Jack and Ralph. Silang lahat ay nag karoon na ng ka on pero ako lang ang wala. I am so naive.

"Wala akong pake." I said matter of factly. "And my personality is not a reason kung bakit ako single." I stood up at tinapon ko yung wastes ko sa trash bin.
