He's Iglesia I'm Catholic (Bestfriend Series #2)

Chapter 1

Unang araw ng pasok, gumising ako ng maaga gaya ng nakagawian ko. When I was finally ready, I immediately get down from my room and went to our dining area. I saw my grandparents who are now sitting at our round table while drinking their coffee.

"Goodmorning." I greeted them with a smile and kiss their cheeks.

"Goodmorning, apo." my grandpa who's now busy reading his newspaper greeted me with a smile.

Ngumiti din sa akin si grandma at agad akong pinaupo sa tabi niya. We eat breakfast together and they kept on asking me if my things for school are complete at sinasagot ko naman silang oo.

"How about your allowance? kulang ba?" my grandma asked me and I hold one of her hand while smiling.

"Hindi po, grandma. May pera pa naman po ako kaya huwag niyo na po akong bigyan." sabi ko at tumango naman siya.

My grandparents spoiled me too much. They make sure that all my needs are immediately provided by them pero kahit ganoon ay hindi ko naman hinahayaan na palagi nila akong ini-ispoiled. I know my limitations at ayaw ko din na lumaki ang ulo ko.

After we eat, I immediately bid goodbye to them and went out of our house and get inside my car. May sarili akong sasakyan pero hindi ako hinahayaan ng grandparents ko na mag drive at nag hire sila ng sarili kong driver para sa kaligtasan ko.

"Let's go, manong." sabi ko kaagad sa driver ko at ngumiti naman siya at tumango mula sa rear view mirror.

He immediately started the car and drove. It was my first day of school as a senior high student. My friends are excited, but I can't be like them. Hindi ko nga alam kong bakit sa lahat nalang ay hindi na ako makaramdam ng excitement.

When we finally arrived at my school, the car immediately stopped. Agad naman akong nagpaalam sa driver ko at tuluyan ng lumabas ng kotse. I couldn't help but to take a deep breath as I watched the big golden gate of our school, the Zigfred National High School.

Zigfred National High School is owned by my father.

I came from a broken family at ang tawag pa nga palagi sa akin ng mga kaklase ko noong elementary ay anak sa labas. I'm aware of my parents mistake of having an affair that's why they have me, and the reason why I hate them until now is because of their issue, ako lang kasi ang naaapektuhan.

They're giving me financial support pero tinatanggihan ko lahat ng yon. Ayaw kong humingi ng kahit piso dahil ayaw kong magkaroon ng utang na loob sa kanila. I can also have a part time job if I wanted to, but they don't let me.

My father paid for my tuition dahil siya nga ang may ari ng school na pinapasukan ko. I wanted to complain but my grandparents told me that I should let my father do the things that a father should do just by giving me financial support. Wala akong nagawa kundi ang hayaan sila dahil totoo din namang may karapatan sila dahil mga magulang ko sila. Even my mother, she keeps on giving me my personal needs kahit hindi ko naman kailangan at magagamit lahat.

Agad na akong naglakad papasok ng school at nadatnan ko kaagad ang mga estudyante na panay lakad din kasama ang mga kaibigan nila. Nagpatuloy lang ako sa paglalakad papunta sa building ng HUMSS. I took HUMSS as my strand because I wanted to enhance not only my ability to talk in front of many people, but also to gain self-confidence and enhance my ability to connect and communicate with the audience.

My friends keeps on telling me why I chose HUMSS as my strand kasi nga hindi ako pala-salita at sinabi ko lang sa kanila na gusto ko ang strand na HUMSS. I'm an introvert person, sobrang tahimik ko at sasagot lang o magsasalita kapag kinakausap. I'm introvert but I like speaking infront of many people during recitations in our class, sadyang hindi lang talaga ako pala-kaibigan.
