"Para po manong diyan nalang po ako sa tabi"

Dali dali akong bumaba sa jeep at tumakbo papasok sa Main Building ng school namin, at oo late na ako sa first subject

Habol hininga ako ng makarating sa room namin at nandoon na din pala ang teacher namin

She removed her glasses and looked at me up and down

"Why are you late Ms. Crimson?"

"Sorry po ma'am late po kasi ako nagising"

She just nod and tell me to sit

First time ko ma late nakakakaba naman pala, umupo na ako sa upuan ko at nagsimula ng makinig

Lunch break na at pinapanood ko ang mga kaklase ko na inaaya kumain ang mga kaibigan nila, naiinggit ako oo pero I also want my own space and yes I don't have friends, ka close ko mga kaklase ko pero hindi ko alam kung kaibigan ko ba sila

Mag isa akong pumunta sa Cafeteria at pumila na sa counter, I just ordered sandwich and juice naghahanap ako ng upuan pero puno na sila, Mayroong bakante doon pero hindi ko alam kung paano makipag interact sakanila

Lumabas nalang ako at pumunta sa Fields wala masyadong tao dito dahil halos lahat nasa cafeteria may mga puno na nakapalibod dito at umupo ako sa ilalim ng malaking puno para sumilong

Malamig naman ang simoy ng hangin at dinama ito sa balat ko

Yes, I'm an introvert and I don't know how to make friends, talk in public, even express my self and I hate myself for being shy all the time

After I ate dumaretso na ako sa classroom namin konti palang ang nandito, may mga nakakausap naman ako sa mga kaklase ko but I can't make topics at pahabain ang usapan, I rather sit alone in a room kaysa pilitin akong magsalita kahit sa isang tao lang

I have my Mom, Dad and Kuya and they want me to break my anxiety when talking to other people

I just sit here and wear my earphones listening to my playlist, I decided to go to the bathroom and wash my hands

" I fell for you

Drowned just by the thought of you

Don't know how to get me through

This feeling of falling for you "


I silently singing the song when someone hold my shoulder, Nabigla ako at napatalon the I saw her and she smiled at me

I remove my earphones and awkwardly smiled at her "Hi?"

"Hi! I'm Joy by the way and you are?" Napakaganda nya at dahil International school ang paaralan namin madaming mga half foreign at isa siguro siya sa mga ito

"Caia" She extend her hand at inabot ko naman iyon

"Nice meeting you Caia, actually your voice is so beautiful"

"Oh, thankyou" I don't know how to react first time ng may pumuri saakin except sa family ko

"Oh what year are you now?"

"Me?" hindi makapaniwang sagot ko

"Yes"

"Third"

"Really me too, to be honest and straight to the point I really admire you and your voice and can I invite you to join our Music Club?"

"Ha?" Nakalimutan ko pala na siya ang Leader ng Music Club

"I'll just wait for your answer, if you want to join just contact me, Nice meeting you Caia"

I really don't know how to react at iniinvite niya ako sumali sa Music Club?

Uwian na at lutang parin ako sa nangyari kanina, ako sasali sa Music Club?

Habang naglalakad nakakumpol ang mga grupo ng babae sa dadaanan ko at nagbubulungan sila


"Ang gwapo talaga ni Rio, ako pupunas ng pawis mo mahal"

"Nanonood lang si Daryl pero gwapo nya padin"

"Lagi naman libro inaaral ni Daryl hindi ka papansinin nyan"

"Aralin mokong mahalin Daryl"

"Sayang ni Pat may Lyeanna na"

"Hindi pa naman sila kaya may chance pa sis"

Nabibigla ako sa mga sinasabi nila ate girl, napasilip ako sa tinitignan nila naglalaro ng basketball yung si Rio nasa bench naman si Daryl nakasuot ng glasses at katabi niya si Pat, they're famous all over the school dahil may naiaambag sila sa school and also they are good looking

I know them because my Classmates always talked about them kahit hindi ko inaalam nalalaman ko na din, Rio is the Varsity player and since he joined the Basketball team he is the one and only MVP, second is Daryl he compete school quiz bees basta patalinuhan siya ang linalaban nila and Last but not the Least Pat siya daw ang ang parang semi perfect na guy because nasakanya na lahat fame, wealth and looks but he's the silent among the three and he is also courting the school's SSC Vice President Lyeanna and also he's the VP of the Music Club

Oh shoot I forgot about the Music Club, dali dali akong lumabas at nakita ko na naghihintay sa labas si kuya

"Hi princess" pumasok ako sa sasakyan niya

"Hi panget"

"Ouch" and the we both laugh

"How's school?"

"Scary"

"Huh? Why?"

"Someone not just someone the President of the Music Club Invites me to join them"

He suddenly stopped and looked at me shocked like he seen a ghost

"What the heck is your problem?" He suddenly squeal I hate when he do this

"You have friends na?" I just shake my head

"Drive na madaming sasakyan sa likod" At hanggang sa makarating kami sa bahay hindi niya ako tinigilan he even tell mom and dad about what happened

"So are you joining" My mom excitedly asked

"I don't know mom"

"You should boost your confidence darling it will help you in the future" dad said

"I'll think about it" at dumaretso na ako sa kwarto ko at nagpahinga hindi ko alam ang gagawin ko, I want to have friends pero takot din ako at the same time
