My Symphony

MS: 1

"Solana, we've made a decision. You'll be going to the Philippines for your studies."

''What? But why? I can't believe this..." saad ko sa kanya.

''Why? Goodness, Solana, this is your 50th school already, I don't know where else to enroll you. I even begged this school to accept you because you're already banned from all schools here in America.'' hysterical niyang saad sa akin, napairap nalang ako.

"Mom, how many times do I have to tell you that it is not my fault! Just because I was involved in the fight doesn't mean I started it?" I replied.

''Buo na ang desisyon namin ng Dad mo, doon ka mag-aaral sa school na pinamamahalaan ng Tita Beth mo.'' strikta niyang saad.

Tumayo naman ako sa aking pagkakaupo at nagtungo sa aking silid. As I entered my room, I sat on my bed and called my friend.

"Oh!?" she answered irritably.

"Hello!? You keep calling and then you won't speak! Do you know you're wasting my time!? Be thankful I even answered your call," she shouted on the other line.

Natawa naman ako sa tono ng pananalita niya. She really hates being disturbed when she's watching her Thai Dramas, which she watches every second.

''I got expelled.'' balita ko sa kanya.

''Na naman! balak mo atang ubusin lahat ng school diyan sa America.'' bulayaw nya sa akin.

''Ubos na nga! So, I called you kasi sabi ni mommy na babalik na daw ako sa Pinas, dun daw ako mag-aaral sa school ni Tita Beth.'' saad ko.

'' Then.....'' inip niyang saad.

''Yun na yun.'' tipid kong saad.

''Alam mo!? Letse ka talaga, pangontra ka sa panonood ko.'' iritable niyang saad at binabaan ako.

If you're wondering why I got expelled, here's what happened. I got expelled because some girls at school accused me of causing their breakups with their boyfriends. They blocked me in the corridor, one of them slapped me, kaya gumanti ako, with a punch. Umiyak yung sinuntok ko kaya I ended up in the Guidance Office, where they blamed me for everything at ako lang yung tanging na expelled.

''Solana?'' napalingon nalang ako sa may pintuan dahil may nagsalita.

"What is it?" I replied, realizing it was my mom.

"Start packing, your flight is early tomorrow. I'll buy you a condo near your new school. When you come back, visit the mansion. Grandma and Grandpa want to see you," she said.

"I don't need a condo, I'll stay with Cyrill for now. Their house is close to my new school," I explained.

"Does Cyrill know about this?" tanong niya.

"Yes, she lives alone in their house, and it's spacious enough for me to stay," I replied, although Elaine wasn't aware yet, sana hindi yun magalit.

"Okay, start packing," huling bilin niya bago umalis.

I picked up my phone to call Cyrill.

''Ano na naman! mao-online sapak talaga kita Cyra ha! nasa exciting part na ako ng pinanonood ko!'' nailayo ko naman yung phone ko sa tenga ko dahil sa lakas ng boses nito.

"I got kicked out of my current school again, and you know I'm banned from all schools here, right?" panimula ko.

"Yeah, I know, hurry up with what you want to say," she impatiently replied. Napakamainipin ng babaeng ito.

"Dad and Mom decided to enroll me in your school, Tita Beth's school, They were going to buy me a condo, but I said I'll stay at your place instead. Alam mo naman baka umiiyak ka dahil sa pagkamiss mo sa akin, kaya ako na ang pupunta at makikira dyan para hindi mo na ako hanap-hanapin.'' may pang-aasar na tono na saad ko.

"Alai wa! You've really made a decision for yourself now, huh?'' sarkastiko niyang saad.

''Sige hihintayin nalang kita dito wala na rin naman akong magagawa eh, pala desisyon ka kasi.'' wika nito at binabaan na ako.

I grabbed my suitcase to start packing. Thankfully, my things were organized, so it wasn't difficult to pack them. After a while, I finished packing and placed the suitcase near the door. Para madali ko nalang itong makita at mailabas. Pagkatapos ay naghanda na ako nang susuotin para bukas. Marami na namang tanong ang pumasok sa isipan ko, Ano ang magiging buhay ko doon, laking America kasi ako, umuuwi lang kami kapag may okasyon or short vacation. Will it be difficult or not? I hope everything goes smoothly. I promise myself that I won't get involved in any trouble at my new school. Baka naman kasi maubos ko na ang school sa Pilipinas.
