MY CRAZY FANGIRL

CHAPTER 17

"Mikee!" I turn to Jin who's excitedly hopping to me. "Ghad! I  can't belive senior high school na tayo" she said with hand gestures kaya natawa ako.

"Me too"

"Tabi tayo sa room ha?" She ask stupidly. No need to ask that. That's already a given.

I just rolled my eyes as an answer to her at nag lakad na kami patungong SH office para mag-enroll. As it was the last day of enrollment, konti nalang ang tao kaya mabilis kaming natapos. Lunch time narin naman kaya nag lunch muna kami sa canteen before we proceed buying our school supplies. Jin insisted that we should buy it together at wala naman akong gagawin so pumayag na ako. Na-miss ko din ang isang to eh.

"Which one should we get?" she ask showing two kinds of notebooks.

"Let's just buy catleah to save space" I suggested. I heard it's better to use catleah than notebooks. Aside from it saves space in your bag mas convenient kasi naka compile na ang notebooks at pwede i-re-fill. Wala ding chance na maiiwan ang isa sa mga subject notebook mo unless naiwan mo catleah mo.

She nod. "Sure" and the rest of the hours, she keep on asking me this and that which I patiently responded all. Kaya ayaw kong kasama mamili to kasi ang daming kaekekang nalalaman. But I enjoy her company and she's my bff so tanggap ko na yan.

June. Simula na ng klase. Ang bilis ng panahon. Tanda ko pa the past years na ilang beses ako nag break down dahil sa frustration at stress. Stress sa officer duty at nonestop requirements and projects lalo na't graduating kami sa 4th year. Frustration kapag di ko na satisfied ang sarili kong expectation. Yung tipong nag -aral ka naman ng mabuti but it's not enough. It was never enough. Kaya pangako ko ngayong Senior High School na ako, I will do my bestest to reach my expectations. That's a promise.

As it is the first day of class, di talaga mawawala ang introduce yourself na yan. Some were obviously nervous and shy but need to do that mandatory self intriduction. Ako, katabi ko si Jin--as we planned and tapos na kami sa introduction. As I am part of the School council officer, not to mention that I'm the leader, sanay na ako sa audience. Kami kasing mga taga-dito ang naunang nagpakilala and then the transferees. Model student ba.

"Hi Ma'am, Hi classmates. I'm... Marian Calde...17. That's all, thank you" Marian's a petite mestiza girl. And obviously,shy. Sa sobrang puti niya kita agad ang pag pula ng mukha niya ng marinig ang request ng mga boys sa room.

"Talent naman jan" she reddened upon hearing one of our classmates request.Obviously shy at walang balak mag show ng talent kaya nakatayo lang sa harap habang namumula. Buti nalang pumasok si Ma'am sa usapan.

"Boys, quit it" saway niya sa mga kaklase namin kaya tumahimik. "Pls. Take your seat Marian" the shy Marian did after she slightly bow with ther still red face. Poor her. Na-pagtripan agad sa first day.

The introduction continue and it was fun. May mga kaklase kasi kaming sobrang kalog at joker kaya naging enjoyable. Even Marian--the shy girl is laughing dahil sa kalokohan nila. In the middle of our laughing session, tumunog ang bell hudyat na tapos na ang unang klase. Well, wala naman talagang klase sa first day. The teacher's just let us do the nonestop self introduction and after that ay nag bigay lang sila ng mga requirements para sa subject nila and then the rest puro kwentuhan na. Topic such as; what are our expectations in this school, teachers,classmates and expecatation in our choosen strand. To sort it all.

Typical first day for freshman.

The next day, nothing unexpected happened. Sabi ng mga teachers di daw sila muna mag kaklase dahil bibigyan daw nila muna kami ng time para mag extend ng bakasyon before the real battle starts. Kinakabahan tuloy ako para next week.
