"Okay class, settle down. 12-Azalea, may bago kayong classmate. Please come in." Saad ni Mr. Federico. Pumasok ang isang matipuno at may-itsurang lalaki. Ini-scan niya ang buong room at napatitig siya sa'kin. Ngumiti siya at nag-wave. May dimples din siya kagaya ko. He looks innocent and familiar ah. I know that hazel hair and ocean eyes somewhere, pero hindi ko matandaan. I waved back at him at nag-smile din, para frens frens na kami. "Good Morning, everyone. I am Takeshi Morgan Amsterdam. I'm seventeen years old and half-American half-Filipino, but we settled in Japan. I am not fluent when speaking Tagalog, so, I am looking forward to learn more about it. That is all, thank you." Napahiyaw ang bawat babae sa classroom maliban sa akin at nginitian niya uli ako. "Okay, that is wonderful, Morgan. You can sit beside our SSC President, please introduce yourself here in front." Saad ni Sir na ikinagulat ko. I sighed at tumayo sa harapan. "Good Morning. I am Avantika Rishima Isaiarasi Rodriguez Rivendell. I am seventeen and the Supreme Student Council President of the SHS here in Evergreen Academy. And I bid you Keshi, a warm welcome to our school." Sabi ko at naupo uli. Pumalakpak si Morgan at pumalakpak na rin ang lahat.

Sa kalagitnaan ng klase namin, which is Science, may nagbato sa'kin ng note, no, pinitik yung papel para umabot sa desk ko. Nice trick. 'I like the new nickname you gave me. I hope that we can be friends. -Keshi.' Nilingon ko siya at nakita kong nakikinig siya. 'Yes, sure. I am looking forward to it.' Response ko at itinupi ko airplane-style ung papel at pinalipad yun sa desk niya. Tinignan niya ako at ngumiti uli, cute din siya ah, pero 10x cuter si Lyle tsaka  si Anwyll. Breaktime na at nagsilabasan na ang lahat para pumunta sa canteen. By the way, we have 2 breaktimes, 2 hours each at ang class hours is only 4. 1 hour per class at 4 classes per day and we have a total of 8 classes, in my case, 9 kasama ang extracurricular. Nagro-rotate ang class schedules namin, for example, ngayon ay Algebra, History, Science and P.E, bukas naman ay Music, Language, Chemistry at Psychology and so on. Ang canteen naman ay sobrang laki and there is ten lines at maraming staffs. Sa sobrang laki nito ay kalahati ng canteen ay empty.

I took a glance at Takeshi's phone, at nakita kong pinapatugtog niya ang Red Flavor ng Red Velvet. "Hey!" Kalabit ko sa kanya at tinanggal niya ang earphones niya. "What is it?" Tanong niya. "You know the dance?" Sabi ko sabay turo sa phone niya. "Yes, of course. You wanna dance?" He asked me and I asked. "I'll be Irene, you will be Seulgi." Saad niya at tumango ako. Sumayaw kami at ang smooth niya gumalaw. Sunod naman ay As if it's Your Last ng Blackpink, ako si Lisa, siya si Rosè then the Eve ng Exo, ako si Kai, siya si Sehun. "You're moves are superb. Are you a Kpop fan?" He asked. "Yes." Tipid kong sagot. "Your fandoms and bias?" Tanong niya pa. "Blackpink, BTS, Twice and Red Velvet. Lisa, Namjoon, Nayeon and Irene. How about you?" Tanong ko sa kanya. His eyes sparkled in delight. "Mine are Exo, BTS, Red Velvet and Blackpink. My biases are Seulgi, Kai, Jimin and Jennie. Just asking, are you a fujoshi?" Dagdag niya at tumungo ako. "I am also a gamer, I play AOV, ML, CS:GO, and DOTA2. A memer, I make memes and the ones that I made got viral. A fujoshi, my favorite is Banana Fish, Love Stage, and My Loveprize in Viewfinder. And an otaku, my all time favorites are Fairy Tail, SAO, Seven Deadly Sins and Love!Live!Sunshine and the movies are Graveyard of the Fireflies, Garden of Words, and Mononoke Hime." Paliwanag ko sa kanya. "Basically, you're a Kpop fan, fujoshi, otaku, memer and a gamer?" Tumango lang ako at bigla siyang napayakap sa'kin na ikinagulat ko. Niyakap ko rin siya at bumitaw kami sa isa't isa. "You're perfect! Can you be my bestfriend please?" Saad niya. "You already are!"
