Gaze at the Empyrean and say, Hi!

Chapter 1

"Good morning girl!" Mica greeted me.

"Morning" I greeted, not looking at her.

"May chika ako sa'yo!" Mica happily said.

"Ano ba 'yon Mica? Ang aga-aga napakachikadora mo talaga!" I chuckles.

"Well ako lang naman 'to 'yong chikadora ng taon, just kidding. Someone gave me a flyer earlier and they're looking for vocalist and a drummer." She said while handing me a flyer.

"Oh? Anong gagawin ko dyan?" I raised my eyebrow.

"Kc sumali ka! Magaling kang mag drums 'diba? Kung maganda lang boses ko baka sumali na 'ko. Don't waste the opportunity, grab it!" She said enthusiastically.

"Nako Mica, 'wag mo ng tangkain, baka pag ikaw naging vocalist ng banda 'di pa nagsisimula umuwi na sila." I teased her.

"Ang harsh mo Kc! Palibasa pinagpala ka dahil andami mong talents." She said with sadness in her voice.

'Di na ko nakapagsalita pa, dahil dumating na ang terror naming professor.

Nagsimula na siyang mag discuss, at halos buong klase ay inaantok dahil sobrang lamya niya magturo, wala man lang kabuhay-buhay.

Maya-maya ay nagpalabas na siya ng 1/4 .

"Sabi na nga ba may quiz nanaman sakanya." I rolled my eyes.

"As usual." Mica said, sarcastically.

"Number 1! What is the minimum lot frontage of single detached corner lot?"

"Kc ano nga 'yon?" Mica asked, whispering.

Pasimple niyang nilaglag ang ballpen para marinig ang sagot.

"12" I answered so fast.

"Miss Fernandez and Miss Castillo why are you murmuring? I said no cheating!" Pinanlakihan kami ng mata ng prof namin.

"I'm sorry sir, my pen fell off pinapakuha ko lang po kay Fernandez."

We continue taking the quiz then we check it after.

"Look who's the highest? I know it's you, it's always you Kc." Sabi ni Mica na parang siguradong-sigurado siya.

"Hindi ako sure sa mga sagot ko baliw." Dahil miski ako ay inaantok habang nagtuturo si Sir.

"Class please quiet, I will announce the score, 38 is the passing score over 50 and if you fail this quiz, be ready for the recitation next meeting."

Agad na umingay sa loob ng classroom namin at nagsimulang mamroblema ang aking mga kaklase. Bakas sakanilang mga muka ang kaba.

"Our highest is Fernandez 45 over 50. De luna 43, Santos 41, Domingo 39, Castillo 38. The rest failed! 40 kayo, at lima lang ang pumasa? Nagsasayang ba kayo ng tuition? class dismissed!" Inis na sabi ng aming professor at padabog na lumabas ng classroom.

"Buti nalang umabot pa 'ko sa passing score saktong-sakto lang, Walang pa sobra." Mica said, with satisfaction.

"Hindi ka naman special kaya walang pasobra shunga, pasalamat ka at hindi tayo nahuli kanina kung hindi baka na disciplinary action na tayo ngayon."

"Bago niya tayo masita planado ko na lahat ng palusot ano kaba hahahaha, galing-galing mo talaga." She giggled.

Lalabas na sana kami ng school para kumain ng makita ni Mica 'yong dalawang lalaki na namimigay ng flyers malapit sa gate.

"Hey! Hey! Where and when is the audition?" Mica asked with a smile on her face.

"Nakalagay po sa flyers 'yung details by the way mamaya pong 4:30 pm, sa music hall 'yung audition." The guy answered.
