Chapter 24

             "Kamusta ang first day, Cass?" umupo si Lola Paning sa tabi ko.

"Okay lang naman po, La." I stopped writing in my notebook.

"May mga kaibigan ka na ba?" she asked, smiling. I shook my head.

"Wala..pa..naman."

I've been staying in San Isidro for 5 months now. DOSCST is far from San Isidro so I had to travel for almost an hour. My first day in school was done. It was okay, I guess. Nag orientation lang naman kami. I haven't made any friends since nag-aadjust pa lang ako. And parang lahat naman sila may kabarkada na. I didn't want to butt in. Nahihiya rin ako dahil close na lahat ng blockmates ko. I was feeling out of place. I don't actually know if I'm ever gonna make friends. It was so hard. I was not the friendly type of person like Rea. I didn't have many friends in Davao City, only a few. Rea was the one who wanted to make friends with me noon and sumabay lang ako. But this time, it's different. No Rea, no Heather, or Mia or Howard. Just me. 

["Alam moo..."] Rea said when we were on facetime.

"Ano?"

["Umuwi si ano.."]

"Sino?"

["Si ano nga.."]

"Sino nga?! Alam mo Rea, napipikon na ako ha."

["Grabe ka! Si Coal nga. Umuwi si Coal dito sa Davao."]

Natigilan ako saglit. "Ah, nakauwi na pala siya." I tried my best to sound uninterested.

["Pero mukhang magbabakasyon lang dito! Nagmamadali, e."] she paused. ["By the way, how's DOSCST, girl?"] 

Nagmamadali. Baka dun na talaga siya titira sa Italy...tapos may kinuhang gamit lang. Speaking of, it's his birthday today. June 13.. Hindi ko man lang siya pwede igreet. 

"Okay lang naman. Hindi naman masyadong strict 'yung prof at uh..mabait naman siguro blockmates ko."

["Sabihin mo lang talaga if may magbully sa'yo dyan. I swear, lalabas inner Eminem ko."]

That was what I expected pero hindi. They were so nice! Hindi naman uso dito 'yung bullying. Siguro friends bully each other pero hindi 'yung mean girls na type. Students here are more like..chill students. Ateneans were super extra.

"Oy, Valliamonte, may papel ka? Lagot ako kay prof." kinalabit ako ng seatmate ko.

"Meron. Wait lang." kumuha ako ng papel sa bag at ibinigay sa kanya.

"Thank you.." mahinang bulong niya, natatakot marinig ng prof.
