Kinuha ko ang aking biskleta na nakatabi sa gilid ng bahay. Binuksan ko ang gate at isinarado ito. Sinimulan ko na mag bisekleta papuntang iskwelahan, naalala ko pa nong pasukan, ang ganda ng aming iskuwelahan, sabi kasi nang principal non, bumili ang owner ng school ng maraming cherry blossom. Na-aalala ko pa kung gano ka proud yung principal namin during the ceremony, since it was only planted 2 years ago, in this time frame.
Habang nagbibisikleta ako napansin ko ang isang cute na itim na pusa, piling ko nakita ko na ito noon.. pero hindi ko na ito tinigilan at tumuloy parin ako sa pagpedal.
Hindi kalaunan, natanaw ko na rin ang aming Iskwelahan, I was still lucky, since the tuition fees there was near cheap, but not the cheapest. I found myself in deep awe since It brings me a lot of memories...
Painful memories to be exact.
Sa pag-reach ng school gate, bumaba na ako ng bike para igarahe ito sa parking area ng mga bisikleta. Habang naglalakad ako, na alala ko na dito ko rin unang nakita ang pinaka una kong kaibigan nasi Jamie. Sa pagkaka-alam ko nahulog ang salamin nito sa mata right in front of the bike station, and that time I also helped her to find the glasses, and in this same situation I will do the same.
Pag abot ko palang sa station, pansin ko na agad ang isang babaeng naghahanap ng salamin don, and my memories are right, she is Jamie, just from the looks, yellowish skin, black eyes, and gray braided hair. Looking from just afar, never fail her innocence.
As soon na abutan ko sya, inabot ko na agad ang kanyang glasses at kinausap sya, just like that time. But least to say, ibahin kona, imbis sya ang makipagkaibigan sakin... I will be the one who will ask her out.
"Hey, is this your Glasses?"
(Habang inaabot ko ang kanyang salamin sa mata)
Lumingon sya sa akin at napansin nya ang aking malabong muka hawak hawak ang di ma aninag na salamin.
"Bilog nga pala ang pagkahugis nito.. parang kay Harry Potter"
Mabilis syang nag nod at kinuha ang salamin.
After that, nakita na nya rin ako ng malinaw as we were still on the gravel ground. Pinasalamatan nya ako tulad ng dati.
She really like Harry Potter sadly i was not really a fan of it, but I knew some of its movies. Naalala ko pa non kung gano nya ako hilig istoryahin dati about that.
Inalok ko sya nang kamay para itayo, after a while like what she told me in the past kung bakit nya nahulog yung kanyang salamin.
"Hey, I am Rain Villiafuerte... nice meeting you btw."
As I offer her a hand.
She answered to me with a smile as she accept and shakes my hand
"Oh,, Pasenya na... napadaldal pa ako sayo.. Ako nga pala si Jamie. Jamie Mendoza. But you can call me Amie. That's what my friends called me."
"Diba first year highschool ka din,? "
(Rain) (⌒▽⌒)ゞ
"Ah, Oo .. first year ka din ba?
(Jamie) 〈(゜.゜)
"Ganun nga, hehe, actually I still don't have friends here in this school, so I woul-
Mabilis hinawakan ni Jamie ang aking kamay at sinabi nya sakin.
"Ako din! Sa totoo lang hiyang hiyang ako, dahil wala akong kaklase na makakasama dito o kaibigan kasi halos lahat sila ay nasa ibang school nag- enroll" (≧д≦ヾ)
"Yes, if you asked! I would like to be your Friend!!"
Medyo nagulat ako dahil kahit medyo iniba ko na ang aking sinalita ay sya parin ang uunang gustong makipag, kaibigan sakin. Naputol pag sasalita ko sa kanya, siguro destined kami talaga to be friends, hahaha...
Nag-oo na din naman ako, and as time goes by sa pagiistoryahan namin paglalakad papuntang hall para sa first ceremony ng mga students.
Even thought I feel nostalgic, It somehow still normal for me..
As the bell rang, nagsimula na ang seremonya ng school. Ofcourse andyan si Opening Remarks, at di mawawala ang mahabang explanation ng aming Principal.
Ilan sa mga linya ng aming Principal na-aalala ko parin.. like
"Ahh, as new students sprouts from the soil, they will never fail to give a full bloom no matter what the weather or circumtances is."
I still don't really know what he exactly mean't by that time.. and probably I won't even take time thingking of it.
As soon na matapos ang speech ay nag-announce na ang speaker ng names and section for the first year students. I already know my section will be, and it is section 2, kasama ko si Jamie don. And a flash of memories suddenly hit me.
And that was as Soon I heard the names of thes three students or should I say my former class bullies na si...
Speaker :
Sarah A. Alfunso.
Bianca D. Balitan
Cyle G. Baltomoran.
----------------------------------
Lastly ~ ......
And that's all for all Section 1-2 students please proceed in line along with the teacher holding a blue flag.
Tama nga, natandaan kona.. Sila lang naman ang bumully sakin during gradeschool, what's worst ay nilagyan nila ng bubble gum ang sit ko habang ako'y nakatayo ay tsinempohan pa nila ako.
They also bullied Jamie after she befriended me, and soon after she was bullied as well... and that's why our frienship comes to an end.
Ngunit dahil, bumalik na ako dito, hindi na ito muling ma uulit at mawawasak ang ang pagkakaibigan naming dalwa.
Magpakatatag na ako ngayon, at kung sila man ay tatlo hindi ako magpapaliit tulad ng dati. As soon I lined up with Jamie, they already noticed me and her too.
Tiningnan ako nilang tatlo na parang pinagtatawanan nila ako,
Naririnig ko pa ang dati panukso sakin, like the "toilet girl" dahil sa labis nilang pagluran ako sa banyo dati.
Inaalala ko palang, parang handa na agad mangarate ang aking kamay, I actually trained in Judo and joined that club durring in college, I still remember the basics of it. Even thought hindi ako ganon nag stand out during those session or labanan.
Pagkatapos kaming pahanayin ay pinaderetso na kami sa aming classroom. Since the teacher arranged us Alphabetically I was safely not near sa mga yon.
I was seated near the window, just like my seat back then... other than seing it dirty after na pinagsusulatan nila ang aking lamesa afterclass makalipas ang first quarter....
After the seated was Arrange Jamie and I are only one seated away to the right. So we are still close by anyway.
Soon after that, syempre first day wala naman halos pinagawa ang mga teachers at nag pakilala lang ang isat isa. It was still a peaceful morning to begin with.
