Happily Whatever After! Book 1

The Beginning

The moment na nag-ring na ang bell, which means dismissal, everyone in my 5th grade class decided to play tag.

"MAIBA TAYA!"

Wow! I'm IT! The new kid?! IT?! Bruh ang galing.

So I counted from 1 to 10...

"Ready or not, here I come!"

I saw one of my classmates, Briana!

She was wearing a hot pink sweater with a small ribbon on the top center.

Plus! She always have a bun for a hairstyle. And she's so hard to miss cause she's so tall. I mean taller than me. Well, almost everyone is taller than me naman.

Seriously! Is even 5'2 tall?

So balik sa reality, parati syang naka-bun ---- so I just think,

'Briana's bun, Briana's bun, Briana's bun, Briana's bun, Briana's bun, Briana's bun...'

I tapped her shoulder.

"You're IT Briana's bun! Ah I-i mean Briana hehe." I say

"Um no? I'm frozen." She says.

Huh? What? It's not even cold out here outside? Baliw ba sya? Plus! Her hot pink sweater looks really warm.

"Huh? It's not even cold out here? Why are you frozen?"

"When the IT touches somebody, they'll be frozen. And the last person na ma-touch will become the next IT. That's why it's called freeze tag. Get it Gail?" Briana says. While I am so confused.

"What? No? When your the IT, you touch somebody to become IT, and then the new IT will touch another IT, then the person touched will become the IT! That's why the game is called IT. I mean tag." I say to Briana.

"We're playing freeze tag." Briana says.

"No thanks." sabi ko ng pilit yung ngiti.

"You're quitting Gail? Just because you didn't get your way?"

"No! No no no no no. I'm just, t-tired."

I am tired! Because look.

1. They call Coke, Sprite, and Pepsi, soda. While it's better to call it pop! Pop pop pop! Coke pops on your tongue! It doesn't soda on your tongue! Grrrr! Argh!

2. They make peanut butter and jelly sandwich the wrong way! The right way is to put peanut butter on the sides of the bread and put the jelly on the middle! But here, they put peanut butter on the bread and put jelly on top of it! Then they eat it with all that mess?! Bro what?

3. Now they like to play, 'Oooo Let's Be Frozen Statues Even Though It's Hot While Abbigail/Gail Runs Around And Around And Around!'! Wow!

I JUST WANNA BE GO BACK TO MY NORMAL STUFF! NORMAL SELF! NORMAL WORLD! WHERE COKE IS CALLED POP! WHERE PEANUT BUTTER JELLY SANDWICHES ARE MADE IN THE RIGHT WAY! AND WHERE TAG IS FUN, BECAUSE THE LAST PERSON TOUCHED BY THE IT SHOULD DO A HAPPY DANCE WHILE EVERYONE THROWS CONFETTI ON HIM OR HER!

I'm just going to go to the library.

"Mrs. Wisley, may I can go to the library?" I say, habang pinipigilan yung mga luha ko.

"You mean the media room anak?"

My world shrinks even smaller.

They don't even call a library, a library here?

The moment I step in the libㅡㅡㅡ media room. *sigh*.

I tend to feel a little better.

The books in this 'media room' made me feel better, cause these are some books I've opened a lot before.

I just found myself walking to the corner of the library.

Ouch!

A book fell on my head. A purple book with lots of glitters, and there's a gold writing that says "Fairytales" then under that gold writing, there's a silver writing under, it says,

'Fairytales are beyond what you see, unknown facts are still not free. In this world of future, this book will get you to taste magical, enchanting, and mysterious adventure.'

Oooo this looks fun and cool! I'll borrow it!

"Mr. McAdonagle, may I borrow this book please?" I say happily.

"Okay dear, what's your name?" Mr. McAdonagle asks me.

"Abbigail Shinaya S. Granger, Sir." Yep that's my full name. The S. is Smith. So my full name is Abbigail Shinaya Smith Granger.

"May I take a look on the book."

I give Mr. McAdonagle the book.

"Hmmm... We don't have such book like this here Abbigail, dear. You can keep it."

"Really Sir? Thank you so much!" I say both shockedly and happily!

"Your welcome dear."

*FAST FORWARD*

I don't know why, pero parang may weird sa book na toh.

I opened the front page.

What? No nothing? Seriously?

Ugh.

Then I went to sleep.
