First Day of Class (short story)

12

Angelie's POV

its a new day yet makikita ko nanaman sya. i wish every new day is just the same as old as before. new day na sya agad makikita ko pag gising, sya mag luluto ng breakfast namin, sabay kami papasok sa school, sabay kami kakain ng lunch, merienda, dinner, sabay kami mag aaral..

but its different now. everything was perfect, pero sinayang ko lang lahat ng meron kami dati nang dahil lang sa summer fling ko back then. yah i know mali un. hindi lang mali. maling mali. engaged na ako tapos nakaroon pa ng summer fling. sino ba naman matutuwa dun. even my family was deeply mad at me.

but that was two years ago. everything has changed. sa akin and lalong lalo sa kanya. he look liked so happy and very contented sa life nya. maybe his girl really changed his life. gusto ko sya makilala

"good morning Ange!" bati sa akin ni Chard "here, hot caramel machiatto, perfect for rainy mornings" abot sa akin ni Chard. Chard has been so kind to me ever since i got here in the university. madali ako nakapag adjust sa environment and people around here, well except kay Jak na mejo awkward ang lahat 

"thanks Chard. here oh, ham and cheese sandwich" offer ko sa kindness nya sa akin "no its okay, nag breakfast na ako"

"nako pag hindi mo tinanggihan mo ako, malulungkot ako" showing him my fake sad face "sige na nga. how can i say no to you, lakas mo sa akin eh" and kinuha din nya sa akin ang sandwich.

"Chard, can i ask some question? if you dont mind.. its okay if.."

"no, its okay, no biggie, anything. ano un?" sabi nya. i ask about the school, the other departments, the courses here and okay, i admit,  i also ask questions about Jak

"ah si Jak, nito semester lang sya nagturo. halos sabay lang din kayo, nauna lang sya ng weeks siguro. magaling nga si Jak eh kasi first subject handle nya closed agad. siguro nalaman ng girls na pogi si Jak" sabay namin tawa ni Chard. well. sino ba naman hindi magwagwapuhan kay Jak, he's beyond perfect. bonus na sa kanya ang nerdy side nya

"alam mo naman mga gusto ng kabataan ngaun the mysterious-good-looking-type-of-person, gusto nila ung sila mismo mag maghuhukay para malaman kung sino ba talaga si Jak.. oh speaking of the hearthrob" kaway ni Chard kay Jak

"musta tinik ng English Department?" pabirong tanong ni Chard kay Jak "anong tinik? mukha ba akong isda para sayo?" 

"ito talaga si Jak hindi marunong maka appreciate ng joke" sabay namin tawa ni Jak "sya sige, mauna na ako, meron na ako class in 10 mins. see you at lunch" at naiwan na kaming dalawa na lang sa office
