The Place Where It All Starts (Sitio Series #1)

Chapter 1

Chapter 1 

First day

Metropolis National High School. This is the school where I will transfer. Our family moved out of the city because of some related works. That's why instead in Taguig, nandito ako ngayon nakatayo sa harapan ng MNHS.

ㅤ

Tuluyan na akong pumasok sa loob at hinanap ang classroom ko. I am a Grade 9 student. There are some students who are looking at me while I am walking. Mostly are boys, siguro ay nagagandahan.

ㅤ

Nung nahanap ko na yung classroom ko ay agad akong pumasok at dumiretso sa pinakadulo, katabi ng bintana. I choose this seat kasi mainit. This is a public school kaya mainit. Actually, this is the only school in Metropolis. Nasa kabilang bayan na ang ibang paaralan. Kaya there are a lot of students here.

ㅤ

After some minute, may lalaking biglang umupo sa tabi ko. Amoy na amoy ko ang matapang niyang pabango. Maputi, matangkad at makisig ang katawan. May itsura kaya halos lahat ng babae na nandito ay nakatingin sa kanya.

ㅤ

"Huwag mo 'kong titigan. Baka matunaw ako." Sabi nito habang ang tingin ay nasa harap padin.

ㅤ

I can't help but praise God's masterpiece! I don't find anyone attractive since I got here in this school until he showed up! Dahil naka side view siya ay mas lalong nadepina ang kanyang marahas na panga at matangos na ilong. Even his long eyelashes are really a gift from God! A lot of girls want to have long eyelashes and here is this boy with his natural one!

ㅤ

I chuckled at what he said and looked away then rolled my eyes.

ㅤ

"As if." Bulong ko.

ㅤ

Oo, I find him so handsome but I'll never tell him that! Crossed my heart and hope to die.

ㅤ

Hindi na ako pinansin nito at yumuko. Mukhang matutulog. Kaya naman ay tumingin nalang ako sa labas ng bintana. Mula rito ay kita ko ang malawak na garden ng MNHS.

ㅤ

After approximately 30 minutes, yung katabi ko ay nakayuko padin kahit dumating na ang isang lalaking mukhang nasa 30 years old. Tumingin siya sa ka buoan ng classroom bago nag salita, "Good morning, class. Ako si Sir Hendrix and I will be your adviser. I know may transferee? Pwede bang mag taas ng kamay?"

ㅤ

I raised my hand and I got our teacher's and some student's attention.

ㅤ

Ngumiti ito sa akin. "Hello, anak. Pwede ka bang mag pakilala sa akin at sa mga kaklase mo?"

ㅤ

Tumayo ako at doon ko napansin na gising na pala 'tong katabi ko, nakatingin pa sa akin.

ㅤ

"Gilliene Hyacinth Lim. 15."

ㅤ

Ngumiti ulit sa akin si Sir Hendrix. "Ayun lang? Please tell us more."

ㅤ

"You can call me Hyacinth," I added.

ㅤ

Someone raised his hand. "Pwede ba kitang tawagin na baby?" Tanong nito na naging dahilan kung bakit nag sitawanan ang mga kaklase namin. Kahit ang katabi ko ay narinig kong tumawa.
