I woke up with the sound of a crowing chicken. Such a fresh sound to start the day.
I almost forgot that today is the day that my cousin kitty will assist me in her old school.
Before going out of my bedroom I do my morning routines and fix my bed. I also take a bath since I didn't fully wash up my body yesterday.
After that, I immediately go out and I already heard the voice of my cousin.
"Couuuus! I miss you. You changed a lot. Good change tho." Kitty said when she saw me going down.
"You too. I almost didn't recognize you if I didn't hear your voice." Honestly speaking, she looks mature. Not the old little kitty I know.
"Well, It's just me cous." kitty said that makes me laugh.
"You two stop flattering yourselves and start eating." Mom said to us.
"Auntie, you're so bad." Kitty said while pouting.
"Oh! I remember, the reason why I'm here early in the morning because the faculties in our school are already in school. And my old prof said that she wants us early so she can attend us before her class."
"Meaning?" I ask while my eyebrows are frowning.
"It means, we should go there now." she sassily said.
"Now? As in right now." I said with a high voice. I didn't mean to shout at her but I'm really shocked right now.
"Yes, Now!" she claimed.
"But we haven't eaten breakfast yet. And also let me change my clothes first."
"No need to do that. As long as you take a bath it's okay. And for the breakfast, we can eat breakfast there."
"But kitty as you can see. I'm wearing short that is not appropriate attire for school."
"Don't be too conservative they'll understand since you're from the city."
"What? No." I exclaimed. Sorry for exaggerating but I admit I'm a little conservative that's why.
"Auntie, look at your daughter she's being old fashion again." kitty asking for help to convince me.
"Stop it, Alexa just go to school so that you can start your class tomorrow."
"Mom-." I didn't finish what I want to tell mom because my cousin pulled me like I'm kind of object.
"It's okay Alexa. Nothing wrong with the short. duh!"
she said in her bratty voice. And at that, I can't argue anymore. She pulled me in her car and drove fast.
Minutes later we arrived at school. I can almost feel the stares of many students. Because of kitty, I bein judged by their eyes. What a nice first impression to make them see right. But I can't do anything about it anymore.
I just ignore the attention that I'm getting because of my short and just follow kitty.
When she stops I also stop and look at her.
"Ma'am Deveza! Good morning." kitty greets a mid-age lady.
"Oh, kitty you're here. Hmm, she must be your cousin from the city," she said to the kitty.
"Yes, ma'am such a pretty lady right?"
"Beautiful indeed."
"It's running to our blood Ma'am."
"Must be true, because your other cousins are pretty too. So, Miss Cruz?"
"Good Morning Ma'am. I'm Wendi Alex Jamco."
"Oh! I'm sorry."
"It's okay ma'am."
"Such a pretty and polite lady we got here hmm."
"Thank you, Ma'am."
"Take a seat you two. Let me check your files." Ma'am Deveza said. And kitty hands her my files from my previous school.
"Hmmm, you have good grades."
"Thank you, Ma'am."
"Would you mind if I put you in my advisory class?"
"I won't mind. That would be perfect for me."
"Since you agreed. I will take care of the process of your enrollment and you can start going to our class tomorrow. But for now, you can go with me to our classroom. So, for tomorrow it will be not so hard for you to find our room."
"But Ma'am I don't think my clothes are appropriate today."
"No. You're pretty in your clothes don't mind them. Maybe, they are new to this because it's a province but it's nothing to worry about. So, Let's go?"
"Ok Ma'am thanks."
"Kitty you can go with us."
"No thank you ma'am I'll just wait for Wendi here." Kitty said. I almost pinch her when she declined.
"Okay, we'll be quick so won't wait long."
"It's fine ma'am, take your time."
"If that's what you want, we'll be going now. See you later then."
After Ma'am Deveza said that she walks out to the faculty room and I immediately follow her.
It's kinda unusual 'cause not like in the city. The building here almost has 2 floors only, not like in my other school that has 8-12 floors every building. Maybe, that's the difference.
I've almost forgotten that I'm in school because of the breeze I'm feeling. I feel like I'm on a vacation and relaxing. This the best part of being here in the province everything seems so fresh.
"Alexa, here we are." Mam Deveza cut my imagination, which brings back to the reality that I'll face my new classmates, new classroom, and a new environment.
So, we're on the second floor which has 3 classrooms with big rooms each. Not as bad as I thought.
"Ok class, Good Morning."
"Good Morning Ma'am."
"Please be seated. I'm here to introduce your new classmate, Wendi please introduce yourself."
"Thank you, Ma'am. Hi everyone! I'm Wendi Alex Jamco, a transferred student from Manila. I hope we can all be friends. Thank you." After introducing, I observe them, well some of them are smiling and welcoming me. But some are not even looking at me and ignoring. I understood tho.
Ma'am deveza tells me to wait outside 'cause she has to talk to them.
After that, we immediately go to the office and see kitty sitting pretty like, she's the boss in there.
"Yah!" Me scolding to kitty.
"Why?" She asks innocently.
"Mind your manners, big girl. You're not at home." I whispered to her.
"Oops, I'm sorry." She realized what I said.
"Tss."
"By the way Ma'am, thank you for accompanying me. I appreciate it a lot." I said to Ma'am Deveza.
"You're welcome. Just ask me if you need or your curious about something."
"Noted ma'am, thank you again."
"We'll get going then. Thank you ma'am deveza."
"Take care, see you tomorrow."
