Summer's First Love

Chapter 1 - So Here It Begins

Chapter 1: First Summer

I don't know why, but I'm not loving this vacation...

My friends have been ignoring me since I've arrived, its been days and I'm sick of staying home.

By the way I'm Andrea Grace, 18 yrs of age. So yeah, its summer vacation and every year we visit our grandparents in our hometown. I used to live with my grandparents 16years ago, since my mother handed all the responsibility to them because whe has found "THE ONE" and fortunately they got married.

So I went out of the house and went to the nearest house where I usually go.

"hi June," I awkwardly said seeing my childhood friend.

"hey, since when did you arrive?" she said politely and with awkwardness.

Looking at her beautiful face and welcoming smile I replied energeticly " 5 days ago ata, I'm not sure..wait check ko muna--took out my phone and checked the calendar today March 30,--5days.."

"owh, bakit ngayon kalang pumunta rito??

its like we've been waiting for you to come home for ages.. miss kana namin anoh!"she placed her arm around my neck like a dude.

After that short conversation dumating ang iba kong kabarkada at nagsulputan na yung mga chikka from nowhere, ang daming questions rin na binato nila sakin like bumubula na talaga yung bibig ko kakasagot. Tumagal ito for 5hrs, akalain nyo? ganun talaga magchichikka ang mga girls at girls at heart. Burara ng burara ng walang katapusang chikka.

6pm na nang bumalik ako sa bahay namin, pagtingin ko sa bahay parang abandoned lang walang ilaw...seconds later nag.buzz yung phone ko.

   dhei2x, walang tao sa bahay. Lock rin from the inside nsakin ang key. I left you money kunin mo nalang under the pot near the door ok? kumain ka alam kong gutom kana. love you :* b back by 8.

(Dhei2x and tawag ng mom ko sakin, I actually don't know why yan ang pinili niya. Sa dami pa ng nicknames ko she insisted on Dhei2x. hahai mommy talaga..)

I placed my phone sa left side pocket ko and took the money,

"sa lahat ng oras bakit ngayon pa na hindi ako nakabihis? si Mom talaga oh." I murmured silently para hindi mag.assume ang mga tao na baliw aq.

I went to the dike, sat at a bench and enjoyed the fresh breeze of the sea. Halos maka.tulog na ako just by sitting there eh..

May napansin ako while I was closing my eyes, nawala yung breeze parang may halimaw na nag.bblock ng air.

I opened my eyes and told the dude to move.

"excuse me kuya, can you move a little or just sit right beside me po para mka.enjoy ka rin"(what? kuya? parang older pa ako kaysa sa lalaking ito ah.)

tumalikod yung guy pero hindi ko nakita yung face nya and he said

"sorry pero parang same age lang tayo, wag mo kong tawaging kuya.

--he walked towards me and sat cobtinuously speaking-- you look. familiar, taga rito kaba?"

come to think of it, his voice seems too familiar.

"yeah, I was born here but I grew up somewhere far. By the way I'm Andrea

--inabot ko yung hand ko sakanya--  you can call me "Gee" and you are?"

binaliwala niya yung hand ko, and he spoke monotonously

"nice to meet you, but your face really seems so familiar Gee... parang kababata ko nuon na lagi naming tinutukso"
