Thanks for the memories

The encounter

While walking inside the lobby school i was mesmerized by the beauty of my school.

"Hi"

Napatingin ako sa bumati. Napakagandang chinita naman nito, nasabi ko nalang sa isip ko. "Hello" sabay ngiti.

"First year ka rin ba? Wala pa kasi akong friends at ikaw yung una kong nakitang ang amo ng mukha and i wanna be your friend" at sabay abot sa kamay nya para makipag kamay.

"No word swings ha, i like you" at inabot na rin kamay nya at saka hinili ako para e hug.

"I think the feeling is mutual! I like you too" para nang mawawala ang mata nya sa ngiti nya. "By the way my name is kim short for kimberly Chen"

"Im lia short for natalia buencamino" at nagtawanan nalang kami pareho hanggang sa nag ring ang bell at may nag announce.

"Attention to all Galleians please proceed to your respective classrooms now, your homeroom teachers are already waiting for you. Good morning and Godbless us all"

Pagkatapos ng announcement umakyat na kami drtso sa mga classrooms namin. At magkaklase pa talaga kami ni Kim.

"Lia!" Sabay kaway sakin "dito oh, tabi tayo"

"O-okay" habang papunta na ako sa upuan may isang lalaki na nauna nang umupo sakin. Napataas ang kilay ko.

"Excuse? I guess thats my seat?"

Parang may hinahanap sa ilalim at sa lamesa. "There's no name written on the chair nor the table." Sabay tingin sa id ko at tumingin sa akin "Miss Natalia"

Napakunot ang noo ko at nag smile nalang. "Oh im sorry for bothering you mister whoever you are" at tumalikod na para maghanap ng bagong mauupuan.

Lumipat na rin si kim ng upuan kase gusto nya magkatabi kami.

"Pst! Lia. Okay ka lang ba?" Bulong nya sakin.

"Arrgghhh! I dont want to ruin my first day of Highschool just for him" while rolling my eyes.

"He is Kenji. Kenji Montenegro from Montenegro Company (a company that owns all the real state in the country) he's my classmate before in gradeschool
And also my cousin. Actually 2nd cousin"

Tinitingnan ko lang sya with my eyebrows up "and?"

"Well, he is always like that but he is a good boy. Okay? I am sorry for his behalf"

Nag-sigh nalang ako. At nag ring na ulit ang bell para simulan na ang clase.
