Jennie

It's my first day of school at my Lolo's very own university here in the Philippines. I still don't know why Lolo wants me to continue my studies here. I ain't complaining tho because it's been awhile since my last vacation here in the Philippines with him and I really missed my Lolo. You see, I'm a Lolo's girl hihi. And also one of the reason kung bakit okay lang sakin na dito na muna mag stay sa Philippines is because of Jisoo. How can I forget my bestest best friend? Silly me. We were best friends since... I don't know? Since nasa tiyan pa lang kami ng mga mommy namin?

We were like twins back then, noong hindi pa ako umaalis papuntang Korea. I left the Philippines when I was 6 years old. I studied elementary in Korea and studied High school in New Zealand and back here to study for college. Pero kahit hindi kami lumaki ng magkasama, we never lose connection. I always make sure to keep in touch with her. Lahat ng mga nangyayari sa buhay ko alam nya and vice versa. That's why I love her more than anything. Bukod sa Lolo and Mommy ko, sya lagi yung nandyan sa tabi ko kahit hindi physically. So.... ayun! Hahaha, enough with the drama.

Speaking of Jichu. Nasan na ba ang babaeng yun? Kanina pa ako nag aantay dito sa parking ng school ah. Sabi ko sa kanya kagabi agahan namin ang pasok since first day of school ngayon and I don't want to huddle with other students. Hindi sa pagiging maarte or what, but I hate going on a crowded people. Hays, you better not be late again Kim Jisoo.

"Yo! Yo! Jendeukie!" Oh there she goes again calling me with that stupid nickname she made back then when we're young. 🙄

"Finally!!! Don't yo yo me Chu. You're late again. You know how much I hate waiting and you out of all the people, should know that." I said with matching irap pa.

But who am I kidding with? She is THE Jisoo Kim. The Jisoo Kim who's not scared of me, who's not going to be tamed over me.

"Hay nako, agang aga Jendeukie ang init agad ng ulo mo. Nag'breakfast ka ba? Anyway, Sorry na, Na'late lang ako ng gising kasi tinapos ko pa yung Riverdale kagabi e." Jisoo said and raised her two fingers for a peace sign then smile at me. Ugh, that smile of hers. Akala nya ba cute sya? Mas cute pa din ako no. "And also, you out of all the people, should know na hindi ako natatakot sayo." Pahabol nya, sabay gaya ng accent ko.

"Oh no, don't give me that smile. You know na hindi effective sakin yan. And please? Stop calling me Jendeukie kapag nasa school tayo. At isa pa, wag mo nga akong gayahin, I don't talk like that." Sabi ko sabay umuna ng maglakad at iniwan ang Jisoo na nakangiti pa din. Ugh, I don't know why I'm friends with Chu. Jeez, I can't keep up with her energy.

"Okay, Jendeukie!" Sagot naman nya at tumakbo na palapit sa akin.

Hayy, What am I going to do with you Kim Jisoo? Pero kahit ganyan yan, kahit lagi nya akong iniinis or what, love ko pa din yun. 💖

———————————————————————

Nang makapasok na kami ni Chu sa loob ng campus, ang dami na agad estudyante. They were all screaming my name nung nakita nila ako. I love being the center of attention. I'm a model after all.

Naglakad lang kami ni Chu papuntang classroom namin. Pinagbubulungan nila kami, may isang student pa na nag sabing "Omg?! Is that THE JENNIE KIM? Sya ba yung apo ni Sir Yang? Grabe ang ganda nya. Is she even real?!" Yes po, I am real. Real na real. Binilisan ko nalang ang lakad habang hila hila ko si Chu na tuwang tuwa sa nakukuha naming attention.

"Jen, wait lang naman. Hinay hinay lang tayo! Pinagkakaguluhan ka nila oh! Ang ganda mo daw in person hahaha" Jisoo said. Why is she laughing anyway? Totoo namang maganda ako ah?

"Come on, Chu! Hurry your lazy ass. We're causing a commotion here, bilis!" Sabi ko naman habang hila hila ko pa din sya. Ugh, lagi nalang sya nagpapahila sakin. Wala ba syang paa?

Finally! Naka'takas din kami sa napaka'daming tao na yun. Nandito na kami ngayon sa room namin. Hindi ko pala nasabi sa inyo, we're on the same course. We're taking Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Design and Marketing. We really love fashion and everything about fashion. And since I am a model in Korea, that's why. Kaya din siguro nagkasundo kami ni Chu. May mga iilan ng student sa loob, at wala silang pinagka'iba sa mga student na nasa labas. They're looking at me like I'm some meat or something. Hindi ko nalang sila pinansin at umupo sa front seat.

"So, mukhang ganito na lagi ang morning routine natin ah? Ang tumakas." I said to Jisoo jokingly.

"Hmm, oo nga pala Jendeukie simula bukas ikaw nalang lagi ang papasok mag isa ha? Isama mo yung guard mo. Ayoko ng pinagkakaguluhan, alam mo yan."

"Oh come on Chu. Aren't you loving the attention we get? They're just fawn over me kase nga ngayon lang nila ako nakita. Hindi pa ako dito nag aaral, sikat na agad ako and hello model kaya ang best friend mo at ang nag iisang tagapag'mana ng school na to." Nagawa ko pang magyabang no. Well, I'm THE Jennie Kim after all.

"Sabagay. Kahit ako, kung hindi kita kilala baka maki'siksik din ako dun sa labas. Pero syempre, Thank God kilala kita. I don't have to make siksik pa sa labas kasi hindi ka naman pala ganun ka'ganda at ehem ka'bait in person" Jisoo said and turned her head away from me.

Okay na sana e, naintindihan ko na yung sinabi nya nung una e. Pero sinundan pa nya ng hindi daw ako ganun ka'ganda at ka'bait in person. Like wtf? Ang daming nagkakandarapa sakin no! Pasalamat ka Kim Jisoo best friend kita at mahal kita kase kung hindi, baka eto na yung una't huli mong araw na papasok sa school na 'to.

"Hmm, you're right. Sige, remind me nga why we're best friends?" Sagot ko sa kanya. Aba at ang babaitang ito, mas mabilis pa sa kabayo ng sagutin nya ako ng "E kashe mehel me eke? Hihi" Oh God, Dear heavenly father. Patawarin nyo po ako sa kung anong pwede kong magawa sa best friend kong to.

"Eww, Chu stop that! You don't look cute." I said while kunwari masusuka ako.

"Well FYI, Ms. Jennie Kim. You don't look cute either. Hmp!"

Kailan ba ako mananalo sa babaeng to? Hayyy. Buti nalang dumating agad yung prof namin, baka kasi kung ano pa magawa ko dito sa katabi ko. Nagsimula ng magpakilala yung prof namin. So, sya pala si Ms. Dara Park. I remember nakwento na sya sakin dati ni Lolo e. And totoo nga, and ganda nya and ooh, I love her dress. I have a good feeling na magkakasundo kami ni Ms. Park. :)

"So guys, I know all of you know already na dumating na ang nag iisang apo ng may ari ng university na ito. And I want all of you to treat her as a normal student too. And besides, We came all here to study right? We all have one vision and mission here and that is to learn. So Ms. Kim? Would you like to atleast introduce yourself personally to them?" Ms. Park said and smile at me. Hindi ako nagdalawang isip at tumayo agad papunta sa gitna.

"Uhm, Hi. I'm Jennie Kim. Let's all be friends and Please treat me well." I said then bow to them.

"Omg let's be friends forever!!!"
"Ang ganda mo Jennie!!!"
"Grabe how to be u po!"

Yan yung mga narinig ko after ko magpa'kilala sa kanila. Mukha naman silang friendly lahat at mukha di namang hindi ako mahihirap makisama sa kanila, hopefully?
