AFTER THE day when Micko kissed me at the back building, he often came to visit or talk to me at school. He even comes to Btch Valley, just to hang out with me. Madaming napapatingin – dahil nagtataka siguro sila dahil mas madalas ko nang nakakasama si Micko.
I was just a loner at school at tanggap ko iyon, but now that I've become friends with him. I get a lot of attention from everyone. Ayaw ko talaga nang attention pero anong magagawa ko? Nalaman ko lang na sikat pala itong si Micko sa department nila.
Kaya ang bilis kumalat sa lahat na magkaibigan na kami.
Tinotoo nga nya iyong sinabi niya na palagi siyang nandyan para sakin. Although, I haven't told him about my problem with Jayden.
But today, I've decided to ask for his help. I've decided to finally trust Micko at alam kong tutulungan niya ako.
I trust his words...
"Hindi ba dadating si Micko?" tanong ni Lara, mayroon kaming two-hour break. Mamaya pa kasi iyong susunod na subject namin.
I really can't wait to start our internship.
Gusto ko nang gawin mismo lahat nang pinag-aaralan ko on an actual job. Gusto kong mas matuto pa. Sigurado akong mas marami pa akong malalaman at matututuhan kapag nagsimula na iyong OJT or internship namin.
Umiling ako habang kinakain iyong cupcake na binili namin kanina.
"Baka hindi... Alam ko may major subject sila ngayon, e." sagot ko kay Lara at tumango-tango lang siya.
Mas napapadalas na rin iyong pag-tambay namin ni Lara sa school kapag may break kami at hindi gaya noon na mas pinipili nalang namin na lumabas dahil wala rin naman kaming nakakausap na iba dito. May mangilan-ngilan na rin kasing kumakausap sakin. Hindi ko alam kung dahil ba alam nilang kaibigan ko si Micko kaya lang nila ako kinakausap, but I admit... Masarap sa pakiramdam na may iba nang kumakausap sakin.
I feel like they're finally acknowledging my presence.
It's weird at first because I'm not used to it yet, but I know that I'll get used to it soon...
It's like finally, I'm experiencing a normal teen life... Kahit na it's late, dahil almost 21 years old na ako, but still. Ang sarap lang sa pakiramdam to have a normal life kahit na ilang oras lang. Because right after the class ends, I have to go back to become the breadwinner of my family.
Nagpaalam sandali si Lara dahil tumawag si Aero at gustong makipag-kita sakaniya. Naiwan akong mag-isa sa lamesa namin. Marami-rami ring tao sa cafeteria at iyong iba kumakain at iyong iba nakikipag-kwentuhan lang sa mga kaibigan nila.
After I finished eating my cupcakes, umalis ako sa cafetiria dahil medyo dumadami na iyong dumadating na tao at medyo maingay na. Hindi naman masyadong mainit ngayon sa labas kaya mas pinili ko nalang na tumambay sa field at umupo ako sa bleacher kung saan malapit sa building nila Micko.
