Eto nanaman ako nakaupo sa king study table. I have spent so much time of my life sitting on study tables and I guess I will be spending the rest of my life doing the same thing. Ito namang bestfriend kong si Sarah paganda ng paganda. Well, sadyang maganda naman kasi talaga siya. Minsan pa nga naiinggit ako, kasi antaas ng confidence niya. 

"Tara na kasi, bes. Sumama ka na sa'min ni Josh. You don't need to test on alcohols naman e. Although we did had a few shots during our high school years." 

Hell no I'm not entering those kind of places. And no, I don't want to remember any of those "few shots" it was one of the worst moments in my life that I would want to get rid of. I'm not low-tolerant to alcohol, pero hindi rin malakas. I once got drunk, I actually walked on those streets while singing out the elements of the table. Guess I still have my nerdy side on even when I'm drunk. 


"Ay nako. You do know that I don't go on gimmicks right? I've got a report to finish and please do not remind me of those days. Saka ano ba, ikaw lang kilala ko dun. Nakakahiya." 

"My ghad, bes. You are such a killjoy. Don't you wanna try to go out and make some new friends? I'm not saying na ipagpalit mo ko ah. All I'm trying to say is that, at this time you should be looking for your Mr. Right. Not pouring all of your time on books and powerpoints." Hinarap niya ako sa kanya habang tinitignan ako ng seryoso na para bang siya ang nanay ko na inuutusan ako. 

"Saka anu ba? Wala akong maisusuot. Makakapag antay naman siguro si Mr.Right."

"Ako na bahala sa'yo. Listen Kayla, you're 19, NBSB. Don't you think it's time to try new things out? I'm not being a bad influence it's just that this is the right time. Sige na. Just try it once?''

I've never been a fan of Mr. Right, of love actually. I never had the time. I never had the guts. All the stories I hear from people sounds like shit. And I am, with all honesty, not ready to feel those kind of crap. I'd rather have a headache than a heartache. Kayla the coward is thy alias. 

I'm 19. Taking up Fine Arts, Diliman UP. I have no social life, I don't even have a "facebook" account like every normal kid does. 

"Pero."

"Walang pero pero. You are coming with me, miss. This is mandatory to save you from becoming an old maid." Hinila niya ako palabas ng pinto, "at saan mo ako dadalhin, Sarah?" Tanong ko naman. 

"Sa unit ko, doon kita aayusan." Sabay kumindat ang bruha. 


I will give you a short description of how I see and describe myself. I have tan skin. I'm nowhere near pretty but I'm not ugly, too. I'm just a girl you could find in every corner of the earth, yun nga lang nerd ako. I'm 5'5 ft tall, my hair's always all messed up. Parang laging binabagyo loob ng bahay at nawawala ang suklay. There's nothing attractive about me, studies na nga lang maipagmamalaki ko. In short, I'm not the type that guys would like. No wait. Maybe they can like me. Like me to clean their houses. Lol.

"Aray naman! Ano ba ginagawa mo sa buhok ko? Baka masunog 'yan ah!?"

"Relax, sweetheart. May inapply ako para hindi yan masunog."

Nilagyan din ng konting make up, sabi ko kasi light lang.

"Oh eto isuot mo! Wag conservative hindi masyadong maiksi yan. Hindi rin revealing,"

iniabot sakin ang isang black dress. Simple lang eto, at hindi revealing pwede na. Medyo fit nga lang. But the length wasn't so short, I'm still not comfortable showing my legs though.

"Oh diba? It fits you perfectly. Mag kasing katawan tayo, kaso mas matangkad ka. At mas sexy.'' at nag-pout ang bruha. At nagtawanan nalang kami.

Ako nga pala si Kayla Castillos. I fit the description of a nerd perfectly. The only family I have left is my mom, my dad passed away right after that encounter he had while he was driving home.. It was 5 years ago, I really miss my dad. I will save all the drama for later, joke.
