Start from the beginning
                                    

Huh?
She checked her phone screen.
Oh shoot!
Sh-sheens!

"Yes, ako nga! Mukhang hindi ako ang expected mong caller ha? Sino yan? Kilala ko ba yan? Gwapo ba yan na may dimple at masarap na biceps?"

Huuuuuy!

"Anong huy?! Wag mo ko ma-huy huy besh ha? May atraso ka pang kwento diba? So sino nga?!"

Hmmm??? Wala, wala.
Sinasabi ko lang sayo
na nakaligo na ko.
Nasan ka na ba?

"Oy Nicomaine Deiana, di ka makakalusot sa'kin!"

Wala nga, kulit nito!
Sige na, magbibihis na po ako.
Ingat ka po! Babye!

Nicki let out a sigh of relief as she quickly ended the call. She tossed her phone on the bed so she could dress up. But as soon as she took a step towards her closet, her phone rings again. She picked up her phone once again, but this time she made sure to check the caller's name before she answered the call. Her lips formed into a smile as she saw whose on the line.

Hey! Pasok ka na?

Wala pa rin akong
good morning? Kanina
pinalampas ko na nga kasi
bagong gising ka eh...

Ang arte ha? Ok, fine,
good morning.

Walang kalatuy-latoy
naman. Napipilitan ka
lang yata eh.

Ay, grabe siya. How would
you want me to greet you?

Gusto ko yung good morning
with a smile. Para nakakaganda
ng araw. Hehehe!

Luh siya! How would
you know i'm smiling?

Basta, i would know.

Alright then,
She paused for a moment.
Good morning!

Pilit pa rin yun, Nicki eh.
Wala bang genuine smile
dyan kasama nung greeting?

Unbelievable!
She shook her head and before she
knew it, she was already smiling
from ear to ear as she greeted him.
Good morning, RJ!

Yan! Okay na ko. Hihihi!
Ganda na ng start ng Monday
ko nito! Makakarecite na ko
sa class at makakaperfect na ko
ng spot tests and lab exercises.

Sus! Dami mong alam
noh?! Asa class ka na ba?

Wala pa po. Kakahiwalay
lang namin ni Josh. Walking
pa lang ako to my first class.
Ikaw? Nakaprep ka na?

Ah, okay. No, not yet.
Tumawag kasi si Sheena eh.
Nag-aayos pa lang din ako. Sige
na, ingat sa class. Galingan mo!

Syempre naman,
inspired ako sayo eh.

Gahd! Umagang-umaga
humihirit ka na ha?!

Hindi lang po basta hirit yun,
Nicki. Totoo naman po yun.

Ayt! Sige na, enjoy your classes.
Mag-aayos na ko dahil baka
dumating na po si Sheena. Ingat!

Okay. Lapit na rin naman ako
sa room. Ingat ka rin. Don't
forget to eat before pumasok ha?
Wag ka po palipas ng gutom.
Have a beautiful day, my MVP!
