Tumingin kami sa isa't-isa and sumakay sa jeep.
"OH MAY LUGAR PA KANAN! ADJUST! ADJUST!!" Sigaw ni driver as we stepped inside. Yung mga tao sa kanang nakinig at nag-adjust,para may space kaming upuan.

"May  extra ka bang 5 pesos ka ba diyan?" Tanong ni John sa akin , as he got his wallet from his pocket.

"Bakit ba?" Tanong ko sa kanya, grabbing my money galing sa pocket ko. Sakto , May pera pa ako.

"Nakulangan ako ng 5 pesos eh. " Sagot niya sa akin. I looked back sa pera sa kamay ko. 20 pesos . 10 pesos pero tao. 8 pesos kung bata, estudyante, buntis, PWD, at senior.

"Ako nalang magbabayad..." Sabi ko sa kanya .
He looked to me and smiled, "Thanks pre."  He said as he placed his money back pocket niya.

"Bayad po!" Sigaw ko , giving the money to the driver.

"Dawalang-pu  piso saan?" Tanong ni kuya, nakakuha ng pera ko sa driver seat.

"Kuya dalawa po! Sa Indepencia Mabini po!" Sagot ko sa kanya, cupping my head sa mouth ko para makinig niya ako.

"Ah okay!" Sabi ng driver, looking up galing sa mirror niya . He then grab the change and hand it over to me.

I looked at the coins in my hand , huh , tumaas ba ang presyo niya? Tanong ko sa sarili ko as I the change balik sa wallet ko.

"Ginawa mo yung math assignment na sinabi ni ma'am?" Tanong ni John sa akin , moving a little bit closer to me.

"Oo. " Sagot ko sa kanya, moving away sa kanya. He just glared at me and moved closer to me.  "Hoy. " I said , glaring at him , slightly annoyed and irritated by what he was doing. "Pwede ba? Personal space please. "

John looked at me and moved a bit further from me, muttering something under his breath that I didn't seem to catch.

I sighed and looked at outside of the jeepney , looking at what's happening outside. Some stores were open and people were coming inside , others were still close while some just closed.

Probably nightbar iyan .  Isip ko sa sarili ko as we pass by a bar , dimmed neon lights and a close sign. One of the employees placed a padlock (for protection purposes of course)  and for the other he called for a taxi. I looked  away from the two employees  , grabbed my phone to see what the current time is.

7:15 am.

"May oras pa . " I whispered lowly para ako lang ang nakarinig . I opened my phone and scrolled through Twitter , to see the lastest updates on the world.

I stopped at one particular tweet . It was some long thread post that's about why you shouldn't support Ang mga  blue lives aka ang mga polisiya.

Bakit blue? Pwede din ibang kulay pero bakit blue? Hindi lahat ng pulisya blue ang uniporme. Bakit hindi ito dapat i-support? Yung mga polisiya gumagawa lang ng mga trabaho nila. Pagkasabi patayin mo, dapat patayin mo, kahit sino pa iyan. Pagsinabi patayin mo. Patayin mo. O dapat ba bawasan ang suweldo ng mga pulisya. Hay naku hindi ko talaga maintindihan ang nangyayari sa Estados Unidos.

"Okay ka lang ?" John asked me, tapping my shoulder. I quickly flinched and looked at him, raising my eyebrows at him, putting my phone on my pocket .

"Ano ba yan ang binabasa mo kanina?" He asked me , "Wattpad ba yan?" He teased me, smirking as he nudges me .

"Ano ba?" I asked, slightly getting annoyed sa kanya , I was trying my best not punch his lovable and always grinning face.

"Wow. " He said , a little bit sad yet annoyed, "Tinatanong lang ang ano ang binabasa nagagalit ng mabilis. " He said in a mockling like tone .

Gago pala to, why am I even friends with this shit? Oh wait...
I asked myself in the back of my head, still wondering I haven't cut ties with this asshole,  maybe it's not right. We're good friends. We were always good friends. Always had been and will always be.

"Fine. " I groaned, "Gusto mo ba talagang malaman?" I asked him.

The jeepney stop at by a store and three people got down from the jeep and went to the direction of that store. I didn't mind , it was none of my business afterall. The jeepney after continued to drive along, fetching several more passengers and dropping some off.

"Eh , bakit yan ang binabasa mo?" He asked me , after I told him what I just read sa Twitter, "Pwede din ibang ang mabasa mo gaya ng mga celebrity updates o yung mga tweets ng crush mo . " He suggested me , raising his brows and tried to wiggle them as he nudges me .

"Ayieeeeeeeeee~ Nabasa mo ang tweet ng bebe labs mo?" Tease niya sa akin, placing his arm around me , as if parang he's protecting me .

"Bebe labs?" I asked him, removing his hand that he placed around me, "For the last time Wala akong bebe labs." 

He said his eyebrows and grinned, " Totoo? " He asked teasingly. I nodded my head.

"KUYA PARA PO!!!" Sigaw ko as we passed by the school gates. Manong driver stopped his jeep and bumaba kami ni John .

"Hay salamat . Andito na tayo." John said . We both stood by the gates of the campus. Indepencia Mabini Highschool looked like ang any normal public highschool sa Pilipinas . Some students were flocking in, quickly entering the campus as fast as they can before they could be filed as late.

"John? John?" I called out his name, looking around for him. Nasaan ba siya? Kanina andito lang siya...
"Baka sa loob na siya ng campus..." Sabi ko sa sarili ko , walking to the entrance gate ng school.

"ID please." Sabi manong security guard sa akin when I reached the gate. I grabbed my backpack and opened it, trying to find my ID.

"Sandali lang muna po..." I answered, still searching through my bag until I felt the lanyard of my ID. 

"Eto po . " I said, closing up my bag and putting in on my back again. I showed the guard my ID and he let me inside.

I looked at the clock that was inside the information area when I passed by.

8:05 am.

TANGA. Late naman ako.

I looked around the empty hallway and started to run.
"Bilis . Bilis . Bilis..." I muttered to myself as I kept on running towards to one of  the 3 storey-floor buildings . My feet felt like they were placed under mainit na uling , yung bago gamit na uling. I held a tighter grip on the backpack as I try to run as fast as I can .

I stopped when I reached the building, looking at the stairs.

"Kaya ko to. " I said to myself, trying to support myself. I took a deep breath and started to go up the stairs, 2 steps at a time.

Kaya mo to ,Ben . Kaya mo to, hindi ka papagalitan ni ma'am . Kaya mo to! Go Ben!

I ran up until the 2nd floor of the building and started to sprint across the hallway, students who were in their classes were being interrupted by me , who is trying to go to my room as fast as my two feet can bring me . I noticed one of my teachers, Ma'am Celestina looked at me as I rush across the hall. She seemed rather discontented on what I was doing and went back to teaching her students.

After so much running, I finally reached my classroom. Room 159 . Section Maharlika.

I finally caught up with my breathing . I could feel my face being extremely red right now, much more redder than the red sa Philippine flag.

I walked up by the door and  entered the classroom. Ma'am Ortiz  stopped her current discussion in our Science class and looked at me.

I didn't seemed to care and went to my seat. My classmates were looking at me and were whispering amongst each other , probably about me showing up late.

"Late naman ang retard? " One of my classmates whispered to the other . My other classmate , covered his mouth his hand, trying to suppress his laughter.

"Oo nga , late naman siya. " Another classmate commented.

The classmate glared at her, "Andito lang ang pag-uusap. Wag ka mag-join. " He said, drawing a circle in the air that ecompasses him and his friend.

"Benedict Andres Reyes. " Ma'am Ortiz said in a strict and harsh tone. I felt shivers running down my back as I looked at my teacher. I grabbed onto the chair that was in front of mine , trying to maintain myself and my sanity.

"Care to explain kung bakit ka late nanaman, Mister Reyes?"

A/N:
Hello! Kamusta kayo? I hope okay lang kayo diyan! Here's chapter 2 of  15 Pesos.
I'm very sorry sa maling kong Tagalog dahil hindi akong marunong magsulat at magsalita .
Constructive comments are allowed and would be kindly appreciated but do not straight up insult me.

Reminder: It doesn't mean my characters have said these things, you should hate on me. My opinions are much more different from theirs . Hate the character not the author (hmmm reminds of a rp rules I had. Hate the character not the person roleplaying the character)

Also: It doesn't mean my characters said the R- word, you should copy them. No dont do that . That is bad and rude .okay? Hope we got that clear. 

That will be all ! Thanks~

(Stay safe!)
