Chapter 1: Nightmare
"Thank God exam's over!" I happily said while jumping up and down with glee. "Summer na! I'm so excited for our upcoming trip!" Kakalabas lang namin ng classroom and that's because kakatapos lang ng exams namin.
I linked my arms to their arms. "Huwag ka masyadong masaya diyan! Baka mamaya, hindi ka pala pasado." Natatawang sabi ni Kylie.
Korina nodded in agreement. "Siguraduhin na pasado sa lahat ng subjects hindi lang sa English." Pang-aasar naman nito.
Agad ko naman silang binatukan. "Are you really my friends? You're supposed to encourage me, not discourage!"
Natawa naman sila pareho. "Eh kasi naman, hindi ka nag-aaral." Dagdag pa nila.
I rolled my eyes. "For your information, nag-aaral ako. Talagang galit lang sakin yung mga teachers natin." Palusot ko pa.
Korina looked at me with disgust. "Freak! 'Wag ka ngang magtagalog! Nakakadiri pakinggan."
"Maka-freak naman 'to." Irap ko. "Kapag nagtatagalog ako, freak. Kapag english naman, reklamo na nanonose-bleed. Saan ako lulugar?" Pagdadrama ko.
They both laughed at me.
Nagdirediretso kami hanggang canteen. Dapat kasi, uuwi na talaga kami but then we still have something to discuss on.
"So, saan tayo this summer?" Kylie asked, sitting down. Korina pulled me beside her.
Nangalumbaba ako, na-eexcite sa topic namin. I really love summer! I'm made for summer and I'm glad I found friends who loves summer as much as I do.
"Well, I think some place na hindi sobrang sikat." I suggested. "Ang hassle kasi if the place is too crowded, right?"
Kylie nodded. "I agree." She mimicked my position. Magkatapat kasi kami. "Puerto Galera?"
I immediately shook my head. "Not there. Too mainstream." Korina was about to suggest something but I cut her off. "Not Boracay, Korina. Please, not there."
Natawa naman ito nang mahulaan ko kung ano ang sasabihin niya. "Just want to add something on the list."
I rolled my eyes.
"Gusto niyo bang sa beach talaga? We can go to Disneyland or something." Kylie said in a matter-of-fact tone.
"Like duh, Kylie. Summer kaya. Obviously, beach dapat." Korina said as she rolls her eyes.
"Whatever" sagot ni Kylie.
"I know na!" nakangiti kong sigaw.
"What?" tanong ni Kylie.
"Rather where, Kylie." mapang-asar pa din na sabi ni Korina. Pero hindi naman siya pinansin ni Kylie.
"Sa Plantation Bay in Cebu!" I've been there twice. Pero medyo matagal na.
"Oo nga no." pagsang ayon naman ni Kylie. "Ok fine, Plantation Bay it is! For how long?" tanong ni Kylie.
"A week?" I suggested.
Kylie nodded. "Okay. A week then."
"Kailan pala?" Pahabol na tanong ni Korina,
"After card giving, of course." sagot ni Kylie.
