Her Simple Life (THE COMEBACK)

CHAPTER I (HSL: Marie)

CHAPTER I (HSL: Marie)

Marie's POV

Andito ako ngayon sa kwarto ko nagbabasa ng mga libro sa History dahil may pagsusulit daw kami bukas. It tells about the Dynasties in China on the B.C. era's like;

"Dynasty Q'in or Ch'in started on . . ."

*R I I I I N G* *R I I I I N G*

Kinuha ko naman ang telepono na nakapatong sa side table at sinagot,

"Hello, this is Legazpi residence. May I help you?" It's our traditional formalities to greet politely even if it's only on a telephone conversation.

"Ahmm. . . nandyan po ba si Marie?"

"Speaking. . ." Somebody's looking for me, huh? How unusual.

"Ahh, ikaw pala 'yan. Hihi~"

"What do you want?" I answered the 'caller' calmly.

"Tungkol pala sa notes natin kanina, pwede'ng manghiram bukas?"

"Yeah, no biggy." This caller must be one of my classmates, then.

"What chair number?" I added. Number sequencing kasi ang arrangement namin and since I don't know him, better know the chair he's sitting on.

"24, Seth Cameron is the name. 'Di mo ko kilala?"

"Hmm. . . Anything else?" Classmate ko nga talaga. Geez, I'm too focused with my books that's why I don't know most of them (which I prefer better) and I'm not gregarious too.

"Ahh, wala na. Ge, thanks. See you tomorrow. Take care" malumanay nya'ng sagot.

"Ge, see ya." I replied shortly.

KINABUKASAN

Naglalakad na'ko papunta'ng kanto sa sakayan ng tricycle though we have our own car, I prefer pa rin na sumakay ng tricycle kasi I feel very carefree with it.

Finally, andito na'ko sa kanto malapit sa paaralan namin dahil dito ko gusto bumaba and it's 8:18 ante-meridim (a.m) on my watch. And, it means I'm late-- SUPER Late.

Kahit naman late ako, it's no big deal for me since I'm used to it.

Naglakad na ako papasok at nag'greet naman ng good morning ang guard which is, tinanguan ko dahil sanay na rin naman sya.

Dumaan ako sa 'silent' hallway at umakyat sa hagdan papuntang room namin dahil two-storey building sa'min though hindi naman kataasan but lumalabas talaga na mataas ang sa'min kasi ang building lang namin ang two-storey and the rest is normal classroom lang.

I'm infront our classroom, pumasok na'ko at dumiretso sa upuan ko without any interruption dahil wala namin kami'ng class every first period dahil tuwing 4:00-5:00 ng hapon kami nagmimake-up class for this subject, science.

I didn't bother looking at my classmates least I know, I'm invisible to them.

"Psst! Marie!" Except this someone who shouted. I shifted my gaze where I heard my name and its on the left. tsk! They can only remember me when they need something from me.

Nakita ko naman ang isang lalaki na may pouty lips, innocent eyes, perfect-molded nose at may pinkish complexion.

I arranged my glasses at tinapunan lang s'ya ng 'who-are-you' look.

He smiled and mouthed, 'Seth' .

Hmm, s'ya pala 'yong tumawag kagabi. Kaya naglakad ako papunta sa kanya at nilagay sa desk n'ya ang mga notes.
