Long Distance RelationShit - UNDER MAJOR REVISION

PROLOGUE

This must be a good day!

Napaka-aga akong ginising ni mommy. Yeah, she is very excited that I am going to new school. But I am not. Nasanay na ako sa previous school ko kahit pa napaka-ingay doon dahil sa mga babae na lagi na lang nag-aaway.

I am now wearing a white long sleeve with a green striped necktie partnered with a skirt which is same as the color of necktie. I am kinda feels not so safe with this skirt kase feeling ko masisilipan ako kahit may shorts ako sa ilalim. But since this is what my mom wants, I had no choice but to agree. She is the boss, anyway.

“You look so beautiful on your cute uniform, sweetie. I love it!” That is what she commented.

“Good bye, mom. I have to go. I love you.” I kissed her.

“I love you. But you only ate a little.”

I sighed. “Mom, I am gonna be late. Hahanapin ko pa ang room ko. Don’t worry, I’ll eat lunch more.”

“Okay. Goodluck on your first day!”

I sneered. “Please, tell dad I miss him.”

“Don’t worry. He will be home, next week with your car.” She grinned.

Nanlaki ang mata ko sa narinig. And that already made my day so lighten up. I never thought na totohanin ni dad ang kagustuhan kong magka-kotse. I am not in the right age to get license but he already bought me a car. Hindi na ako makapaghintay na dumating ang susunod na linggo.

“Good morning,” bati sa akin ng guard sa Cliff University.

“Good morning, kuya.” I smiled.

May isang malaking gate na dinadaanan ng mga students at may maliit na gate malapit sa may guard house na dinadaanan ng mga faculty teachers. May parking lot naman sa labas ng school malapit lang sa guard house.

I looked around at paunti na nang paunti ang dumadaan at dumarating na students. Tiningnan ko ang wrist watch ko at malapit na mag alas siete ng umaga. Nagsimula na akong hanapin ang dean’s office matapos kong itanong sa guwardiya kung nasaan iyon. Matapos ang ilang liko, I finally found dean’s office. Breathe in. Breathe out. Kumatok ako at agad kong narinig ang boses ni dean sa loob hudyat na pumasok na ako.

“Good morning, hija. Come here. Have a seat,” paanyaya sa akin.

“So, you are?”

I gulped. “Good morning, dean. Shayn Malc po, transferee.” Napansin siguro ni dean na hinihingal ako kaya inabutan niya ako ng bottled water which I thankfully took it.

“Welcome to Cliff University. I am Michelle Lavrinda-Cliff. And sorry to give you this late," aniya saka iabot sa akin ang susi raw ng locker ko at ang I.D. card and lace.

“No, it’s okay. Thank you, dean.”

“I have seen your report card last month and your grades are very good. That’s why I put you in Section-A on your track. By the way, it’s already—” She looked at the wall clock. “— quarter 7. Sorry for a bit long introduction. Your classroom is in third floor in the east of university. Again, welcome to our university. Enjoy!”

I simply nodded and thanked her for welcoming me here.

Nakita ko naman agad ang building sa east part of this university. Nakasulat sa building ang malalaking letra na kulay silver ang “SENIOR HIGH DEPARTMENT” nito. I quickly ran towards the targeted floor. Hinihingal na naman ako kaya nang makarating ay binagalan ko ang paglalakad kasabay ang paghinga nang malalim. Hindi ko nadala ang inhaler ko kaya ininom ko na lang ang natitirang tubig na binigay sa akin ni dean at pinaypayan ang sarili.
