Artashia's

I got home after we made a haul vlog for Katie's channel. I enjoyed it, but it was too tiring because i was the model for the clothes and accessories.

Days passed by, everything's still the same. Today is our first day of classes, I'm getting ready for school after i change my clothes I'll leave the house.

Nag aayos na ako ng aking sapatos nang makarinig ako ng busina galing sa kotse ni Magnum, i didn't know na susunduin niya ako.

“ Hop in! ” he shouted as i approach him.

“ Bakit andito ka? ” i asked as i fixed my seatbelt.

“ Bakit bawal ba kita sunduin? ”

Sasagot pa sana ako ng bigla niyang pina-andar ang kanyang kotse.

“ Psh, pasikat. ” i told myself.

When we arrived, syempre pinagtitinginan kami ng tao. I waved goodbye to Magnum, sa criminology kasi siya while I'm on nursing.

Pumasok na ako sa silid-aralan namin,  i started to examine the room at umupo na sa may likod na part ng room. Maraming mga bagong mukha, 'di ako sanay sa gan'to.

“ Okay, Good morning class. I'm your adviser, Elena Avalon. ” she said as she wrote her name on the board “ It's a cliche thing to do but you will have to introduce yourself infront of the class. ”

Nagsimula na silang magpakilala, nakipagtitigan naman ako kay Katie, Si Margo na ngayon ang nagpapakilala sa harapan. Felecia and Chanel are on other courses.

“ Hey guys, Flavio Estevan's the name. I'm half American and half Filipino. ” naagaw ang pansin ko sa taong ito, hindi ba siya yung humalik sa'kin?

“ Hoy, anong meron, ba't nakakunot ang noo mo. ” tanong ni Margo matapos niya akong tapikin.

“ Siya yung lalaki do'n sa mall sa Manila diba? ” ani ko pero hindi ko pa rin tinatanggal ang tingin ko sakanya.

“ Ah h-hehe. Oo, you remember him?” Katie answered nervously.

“ Of course i do, i will never forget a dimwit like him.”

“ Miss Orange Shirt? ” i turned my gaze to our adviser. “ It's your turn now. ” i smiled at her.

Naglakad ako papuntang harapan, i stared at Flavio to make him uncomfortable. But my bad, it seems like he's enjoying the attention.

“ So hi, My name is Artashia Blaine Montenegro. Hope we will all be friends " I smiled shyly, and i returned to my seat.

We spent the day with introducing ourselves in every subject.

“ Ang enjoy ngayong araw 'no? ” masiglang tanong ni Margo.

“ 'Di rin, nakakapagod kaya magbuka ng bibig. ” matamlay kong ani.

“ Why did you change kasi, dati naman 'di ka ganyan.” We were filled with silence because of Katie's question.

Nasa arcade kami ngayon dahil lunch break, ang daming tao makes me unfomfortable. Matapos kaming maka order, naghanap na kami ng table, sakto naunang makareserve sila Felecia kaya nakiupo na kami.

“ How's the first day of class? ” Felecia asked.

“ Okay lang naman, may mga lalaki pa rin. ”

“ You sound so feminist. ” Chanel said

“ Maybe you can tone your anger towards men Art, not all are like William. Pinapahirapan mo lang ang sarili mo.”

“ Hey! can i join you guys? ” hindi ko pinansin ang nagmamay ari ng boses na 'yon, sinimulan ko nang kainin ang lunch ko.

“ And your name is? ” Chanel asked.

“ Flavio. Flavio Estevan. ” I looked at the owner of this voice, i was right. It is the Flavio from the mall.

“ Sure! Come sit right next to me. ” Chanel said as she tapped the seat right next to her.

“ I can sit here right? ” he asked, i noticed that i do have a vacant seat too.

“ No, It's my seat. ” Magnum replied before i can, glad he's here.

Flavio is being entertained by Katie and Chanel, as usual they're flirting with him. They were the only ones who were very noisy, napapagalitan na nga sila 'di pa natigil amp.

“ How's criminology? ” i faced magnum.

“ Strict, but It's fine malalagpasan ko naman siguro 'yon. ”

After that conversation, our lunch time period was done. We came back to our perspective classrooms and the time flew fast at uwian na! best part of the day.

I made some gay friends today, gonna keep them.
