"big girl na ang Nina namin!" proud na proud si mommy habang tinitignan akong suot ang uniform namin.
"Mommy naman!" sumibangot ako sakaniya.
"oh siya sige na hindi na namin ikaw baby girl. Basta anak, enjoy sa first day ha? Watch out for boys!" sabi niya at tumawa. Etong si mommy talaga kahit kelan eh napaka-kalog. kung yung ibang parents eh pagbabawalan ka, si mommy ibubugaw ka.
"Anong boys? Bawal pa magboyfriend nak ha?" sabat naman ni daddy. Sumibangot agad si mommy nung narinig niyang sinabi to ni Daddy at kunwari eh nagtampo, the funny things is, inisnob lang siya ni daddy.
"tara na, baka malate ka pa." nagkiss ako kay mommy and I said goodbye. Ihahatid ako ni daddy sa school today. Every year since nagsimula akong pumasok inihahatid niya ako pag first day.
Habang nagdradrive si daddy napasilip ako sa binatana at napaisip. Will my high school life be like the ones I read in books? Magkakalovelife kaya ako? Magkakadrama kaya sa buhay ko? Ang dami kong iniisip pero bahala na.
"Nina behave okay?" sabi ni daddy sakin nung nasa gate na kami ng school.
"daddy di na po ako grade 1 na mananakit gamit ng pencil haha"I kissed him on the cheek and bid goodbye.
Pagtalikod ko I was shocked. ANG DAMING STUDENTS AT ANG TATANGKAD NILA. I roamed my eyes around and saw some familiar faces, yung mga dating sa school din namin nag elementary. Feeling ko malulunod ako pag napunta ako sa gitna, but I need to find my friends.
As I was looking for them, nagtitingin tingin din ang mga mata ko. A lot of the students were talking about their summer vacation and some were hugging maybe because namiss nila isat isa. I kept on walking but because I was pre-occupied di ko napansin na mababangga na pala ako.
"ow!" I said. Ansakit ng pagkakabagsak ko sa semento.
"S-sorry." Sabi ng nakabangga sakin.
"it's okay, ako naman yung di tumitingin sa daan eh." I looked at him. Yes guy yung nakabangga sakin and he looks so cute, lalo na yung taling na nasa may mata niya. Feeling ko tuloy biglang may kakanta sa background tapos--- NINA HINDE.
He helped me stand up and picked up my things for me. I swear I was looking at his face the entire time! I was so pre-occupied that I didn't notice that he was saying something. Ang napasin ko lang eh he was handing his handkerchief to me, "no need di naman ako nadumihan" I said with a smile.
"do you know that our saliva is a chemical? But its not harmful don't worry." Pinunasan niya yung gilid ng labi ko while laughing at iniabot ang panyo niya sakin.
"NINAAAAAAAAAA!" I heard a familiar voice na papalapit ng papalapit at palakas din ng palakas. Dont tell me this is Is—
"ANO YAN BAT NAGKAKAPUNASAN NA AGAD? FIRST DAY PA LANG GIRL HA!" and tama ako. Si Isa nga. I know her voice too well. Hinila niya ako palayo dun sa guy and I didnt even had the chance to give his handkerchief back and say thank you or even ask for his name.
"Isa naman eh! I was right in the middle of something there! Paano kung iyon na pala ang plot twist ko?" I said while pouting. Kase naman tong si Isa bigla na lang akong hinila palayo.
"masyado ka nang naniniwala sa mga books na yan! HINDI TOTOO NA MAY MABUBUO PAG NAGKABANGGAN KAYO OKAY?" she said while laughing. Btw, this is Isa Eugenio. One of my bestfriends. Sa aming anim she's the most uhm how do I say this, yes siya yung pinaka MAINGAY. She's really pretty though kaya bawing-bawi. Siya rin yung pinakamalakas ang topak, one moment she's really happy and then the other? nagsusungit na yan.
Sinibangutan ko na lang siya. "oh bakit nakasibangot ang happy virus namin?" sabi naman ni Elise Lopez. She's the smart one. Siya yung pinakamatalino saaming anim. She's our valedictorian and she's the best bestfriend of Isa. She also has the looks and she's a great singer and dancer.
