Right before Manong Saldo could even park the car, i already jump out of the car and run into the hallways because it is already 7:53, and my classes starts at 8:00. I arrived in my classroom at exactly 8:00 at kasunod ko lang pumasok yung prof namin.

"Oh Miss Atienza, this is a first time" bati sakin ng professor namin, at oo ito ang unang beses na muntik na akong mahuli sa klase.

"I'm sorry miss, i slept late last night." i said and smiled a little before i enter the room and sat on my designated seat.

IT'S LUNCH BREAK and i'm here at the school's cafeteria waiting for Abby, she said she has something to tell me. At alam kong ikekwento lang non ang mga nameet niyang mga 'pogi', hayok sa pogi yun eh. Oh, by the way i'm 17 years old and we're already at our senior high year and in 2 months is our graduation day.

"Hey girl! Guess whaaat?" she excitedly greeted me, i just replied with a knowing look she then continued "Napakadaming gwapo ngayon sa may gate!" she giggled. Alam ko na talaga tumatakbo sa utak nitong babaeng ito eh. Puro poging lalaki.

"So ano Abby?" So what kung maraming gwapo, aanhin ko yun?

"Ay nakalimutan ko, manhater ka palang gaga ka, my god Lev! Ano te move-on na, at saka hindi naman lahat ng gwapo e manloloko! Di lahat katulad niya!" she emotionally stated with hand gestures pa yan ah.

I rolled my eyes and massaged my temple, ang daming drama nitong babaeng to. "Abby wala akong panahon jan sa mga lalaki na yan, gwapo man o pangit, wala" i said with finality. "At saka Abby, walang kinalaman ang hayop na lalaking yun usapan, gusto kong makatapos ng pag aaral ng matiwasay." napabuga nalang ako ng hangin. Dinadamay pa yung taong wala naman dito.

"Ah basta mamaya sa main gate tayo dadaan baka maabutan pa natin yun! Ohmy!" i rolled my eyes at her and didn't answer, instead i asked her about the upcoming graduation day.

" Oh anong plano mo ngayong bakasyon?" she sighed.

"Siguro sa bahay nalang ako wala naman sina mom e, sigurado akong may mga trabaho yun, 'kala mo walang anak na naiiwan sa bahay eh" i also sighed, her parents are both workaholic, tuwing birthday lang sila present sa buhay ni Abby.

"Ikaw?" she asked.

"Sa bahay lang din, you know my mom ayaw nun naglalabas and my dad" i sighed "I don't know where he is and wala akong pakialam, hindi ko na hahapin ang taong yun" ilang beses na kaya akong bumuntong hininga ngayong araw.

Bago pa tumunog ang bell ay sinimulan na naming kainin ang inorder naming pagkain galing sa cafeteria dito sa loob ng school then we proceeded to our remaining classes.

CLASSES ARE DONE and here i am being dragged by this 'hayok' sa gwapo kong bestfriend patungo sa main gate, hayop na yan. Dalawa kasi ang gate sa campus ang main at back gate, so nandito na kami at meron ngang pinagkakaguluhan dito, napakaingay. Halos puro babae ang nandito, meron ring mga lalaki. Hinila ako ni Abby papunta sa gitna, ewan ko lang kung paano yun nagawa ng babaeng to e napakaraming babaeng nagkakagulo na kung makatili halos maputol na ang mga litid sa leeg, hindi ba kumakati lalamunan nila.

"Ohmy! Levi, look at them! Ang gagwapo nila! Omo!" habang hindi mapakali, nagugusot na tuloy yung damit ko.

"Ano ba naman Abby! Pambihira." anong gagawin ko jan, at ang init kaya dito! Siya naman parang pinagbagsakan ng langit, ayun napasimangot, anong magagawa ko e wala akong pakealam sa mga yan. "At isa pa hindi rin naman magiging iyo yan, tara na Abby, ang init-init dito" sabay hila sa nakasimangot na Abby paalis sa kumpol-kumpol na mga tao.

"Hoy Lev alam ko naman na di yun magiging akin, pero atleast ako marunong umappreciate sa mga magagandang likha ng poong maykapal!" she dramatically stated habang nakangiti tapos sisimangot ulit.

"Let's go Abby, I'm sure kanina pa naghihintay si Manong Saldo sakin at kanina parin naghihintay ang sundo mo" pag aya ko sa kanya. Ignoring her pouting face. "Bye Abby see you tomorrow!" then we part our ways, she goes to the other side of the parking lot.

Like i said Manong Saldo is already at the parking lot waiting for me "Magandang hapon Levi" manong greeted me and i greeted him back as i sat at the backseat,  manong Saldo drove the car out of the parking.

"HI MOM! I'M HOME" i greeted my mom as soon i enter our house, she is in the garden doing some work related stuffs. I kissed her cheeks.

"Hi honey, how's school?" still eyes on her laptop.

"Fine mom, oh let me just change my clothes then I'll prepare dinner." i entered my room and change my clothes, then i prepared our favorite dinner.

"Mom, food is ready! " i called my mom as soon as i finished preparing.

"Oh adobo! Thank you very much for preparing this honey!" she then sat on the chair in front of me. We are eating in silence until mom decided to break it. "Lev i already decided, please don't get mad at me honey this for your own sake." my heart skipped a beat, i think i already know this. "Pagkatungtong mo ng bente uno ay magpapakasal kana sa anak ng ninong Nick mo Levi"

Muntik ko nang mabitawan ang hawak kong kutsara buti nalang inaasahan ko na yun, i just sighed, i really don't understand why kailangan pa to but if my approval will put her at ease, then so be it.

After we ate, i washed the dishes then i go back to my room, took a half bath and was planning to sleep. I couldn't stop thinking about the things that my mom told me just a moment ago, of course may pagdadalawang isip pa din ako, itatali ako sa taong di ko naman mahal at kilala ng panghabang buhay. Bakit ba kasi kailangan pa may ganito! Sana naman hindi gago yun. I drifted to sleep as i feel my eyes slowly closing...
