Chapter 1

"If there's no more question regarding today's lecture you are now dismissed" our professor announced to the class-half are already about to doze off from our 3 hours lecture. 

The Class ended and I hastily got up my from my chair to leave so I could wander around the campus. I began looking around the campus and was satisfied as the greenery of the campus engulfed me as I walked around a gush of cold air passed by swaying the fallen leaves with it. I closed my eyes momentarily as I felt the moment. So college huh?

It's been a week since the classes begun. Saan kaya maganda mag-aral maliban sa library? Ayoko sa library dahil minsan puno na gawa ng mga estudyanteng nagpapalamig lang o kaya ay ginawang dating area ng mga mag kasintahan. because the last time I went there a couple was making out by the furthest bookshelf I almost puked blood.  Mga Immoral!

I almost shuddered just by remembering them my god! I was disturbed from my thought when my phone started ringing, I fished for my phone inside my bag to see that my eldest sister is calling, I'm the youngest among my two siblings which are all girls. my two sweet sisters often called to check up on me so her call was really expected, I swiped the screen to unlock and answered.

"Ate! Napatawag ka?" I said over the phone

 "Hi baby sis I'm going to fetch you after the meeting is over" my sister replied

 I looked at my wristwatch and I knew that after having lunch magyaya siya mag shopping or manuod ng sine. You're the boss alright since you'll be spending anyways

 "No thanks sissy maghahanap pa ako ng matutuluyan dahil isang linggo pa lang akong uwian ay suko nako" I said and I heard her sighed on the other line.

 "Mira kung bakit kasi kailangan mo pang mag board or dorm" she sounded worried 

 "'teh malayo ang alabang sa maynila ayokong matagtag sa biyahe at baka maalog brain cells ko." and she laughed and bid good bye, She really has work piled up so it can't be helped.

I was touched by my sister's actions to still check up on me even though I know she's very busy. I have 2 sisters which are both approachable, filial and caring that they never forget to spend quality time with me during Sundays. We even have pajama parties scheduled every Friday night. and yeah its mandatory after all, we only have each other and no one else.

 I'm Serenity Mira Villafuerte, Mira sa mga kapatid ko at mga kaibigan at Villafuerte sa karamihan ng professors. Bunso sa 3 magkakapatid na panay dyosa ulila na sa nanay at sumakabilang bahay na tatay. Pareho ng tapos ang 2 kong ate samantalang ako ay first year college na .Well I plan to be a surgeon so I'm taking up BS Biology.

 I felt my stomach growl so I find my way out of the campus to fill my oh so poor tummy. I chose a nearby family restaurant. Pwede naman sa foodcourt ng University kaso lang I hate crowds sabi nga nila anti-social daw ako. Hindi naman talaga sa ganun pero ayoko lang talaga ng matatao at maiingay na lugar. Hence, I've never been a fan of bars

I entered the restaurant and a waitress with a pleasant smile assisted me to a vacant table I sat down and placed my plastic envelope containing school stuffs on top of the table. She handed me the menu and left, I screened the contents. Siguro dahil lunch time kaya nagsimula na din dumami ang tao.

 Nakakita ako ng masayang pamilya di kalayuan kung saan ako nkaupo at bigla na lang akong nakaramdam ng inggit habang pinapanoud kung paano asikasuhin ng tatay ang mga anak at asawa niya. Larawan ng isang masayang pamilya na hindi ko naranasan simula't sapul. I can't help but feel envy towards every happy family I saw.
