Blue Ribbon (Destiny Series#1)

3: First Day!

Exactly 4:30 nagising na ako, agad akong bumaba para maligo, may mga nakasabay rin ako pababa sa hagdan. Actually, 'di ko na chineck kung tulog pa sila Angel or Karen, gisingin ko nalang sila after ko maligo. Pagkapasok ko ng banyo ay may apat ng naliligo.

"Good morning." One of them greeted me.

"Ohh gising ka na?" I was surprised when I heard Angel's voice in one of the cubicles.

"Kanina ka pa?" Tanong ko. I was kinda shocked, I thought I was the first one here.

"Yup, 4 gising ko. Kanina pa ako at babad na babad na talaga ako sa sabon. Magbabanlaw nalang ako." Sabi niya pa.

And after that, we minded our own business. Ilang minuto lang ang lumipas ay narinig ko na rin ang masiglang boses ni Karen, binabati niya lahat ng nasa loob. Marami rami na rin ang gising.

"Ohh kayong dalawa ha, hindi niyo ako ginising." Tampo niyang sabi.

"I thought kailangan mo ng mahabang tulog kaya di kita ginising, 10 ka narin natulog kagabi eh." Sabi ko. Nanahimik nalang siya at naligo na rin. After several minutes ay tapos na rin ako, hindi ako pwede matagal dahil mayroon pang ibang maliligo.

I did my morning rituals and wore undergarments. Sa taas na lang ako magsusuot ng uniform.

"Tapos na kayo?" Tumango ako, si Karen din ay tapos na. Angel was only wearing cyclings and sando.

I was smiling pa akyat ng room, I'm so excited to wear my uniform. It was a  pencil skirt with a slit at the back. One inch above the knee, and the top is a blouse that hugs the waist but not too fitted. Bubbled sleeves and has red linings and then a red tie where the logo is attached. It also has two pockets in the blouse which makes it cuter.  I wore a black socks to compliment my skin tone. It's allowed after all.

"Aish, di talaga bagay sa akin ang red." Angel grunted. She has a tan skin, even Karen is slightly tanned.

I checked them and she was frowning. Despite her skin being tanned, the red color doesn't make her skin tone look darker and it doesn't look awful either. The uniform hugs her lean body perfectly. And she is wearing a black stockings paired with a one-inch black shoes, it made her look sexy. Her long black wavy hair combed at the side compliments her look.

"Done checking me out?" I rolled my eyes at her and smiled.

"You look fine, girl. No need to worry."

As for Karen's long physique, the uniform looks really good at her. Her shoulder length hair ironed to look straight makes me adore her look. She look so fine I might cry.

I sighed and looked at the time, it was already past five. Angel told me to tie my hair so I said yes. She has a skill in hair tying. She combed my brown hair and tied it in a half up and pinned a ribbon in it. My hair is dry because I usually was my hair at night so I didn't washed it this morning. She combed my bangs and then done.

"Wag mong tatanggalin yan, hihilain ko buhok mo. " Pagbabanta niya. Tumango nalang ako at tumayo na.

We checked the apartment before leaving. Unplugged unused appliance and cleaned a little. I took a deep breath and went out of the apartment, Good luck to us.

I have been standung outside the classroom for I don't know how long. I am too shy to enter, and si Karen. That damn woman, she said she was just going to the comfort room and she has been missing for so long. I'm too anxious to look at the time, I just want to go home.

"Bakit hindi ka pa pumasok?" Nagulat ako ng biglang sumulpot si Karen sa gilid ko. Halos mapatili ako at mayroon ding galing sa loob ng classroom ang napatingin sa amin. Once again, I feel embarrassed.
