It's just a few days before school starts, I'll be in senior year and is just two years away from college. It's just a pity, I'll be spending another two years before I could go to college, it's because of his fault, the last president before duterte.
I remember when I heard k-12, I think I was still in my third year of high school. Almost all the students mostly the parents were angry towards PNoy since they think that it'll be another waste of time and money. We could be admitted in college this year if it weren't for k-12.
We're still not sure whether the curriculum has become stable in the past year of it's implementation but whether it is effective, we'll see in a few days
Since school is about to start in just a matter of days, mom took me as well as Jerimie to the national bookstore to buy some school supplies. Mom doesn't want to be huddled by mothers when the D-Day comes or when school is about to open.
My younger brother is assigned to our oldest, I just hope he at least keeps him alive, that's all that matters. Joshua won't let himself starve, that I'm sure of.
"I'm telling you- you better brake care of your sibling when I'm away, do you understand?"
"Yes mom, I do" he said monotonously, still his hands were fiddling with his phone.
Mom just looked at him in helplessness before telling us to come over. Joshua was still out playing with his friends, we didn't get to stay for too long and went out.
We've arrived and instantly, there's still some people whose doing the same thing as us, buying a week before school starts in order to avoid the hustle and bustle.
I got myself a not so big sized peach colored bag, along with some pens and markers as well as sticky notes. Mom bought a whole bunch of school supplies ranging from colored paper, oslo paper as well as envelopes and folder and other school related supplies to stock them up at home.
It feels like yesterday, I would be awokn by my alarm clock and would rush to go to school, sometimes we would be in a traffic over some road blockage. Then I would come to our classroom and chat with my friends, do some silly things at school and teased each other. I'll be eating at the canteen along with my friends, we would chat idly then go to our house to finish our assignments and the never ending plates. My brother would always annoy us and disturb our work while my sister stays far away doing whatever she's doing.
Those are good times, those are precious moments that I know I won't ever forget, ever.
Now, I'll be doing those things with other people, I would still wake up early but I will experience a new curriculum and some new challenges will be thrown to me.
Great, now I just need to adapt myself into a new environment, yep. Easy peasy.
...
It's the first day of June of 2016, just four days before school starts, the sky was overcast in darkness as the ind begun to pick up.
My friends would come here in three, we'll go and have a reunion before we start a new chapter of our life. I think you already know where we would be meeting, of course non other than our lovely house.
I was washing the dishes when I heard the television on, I looked backward and saw m watching some show before it was turned into another station, Balitang hali
I continued doing my chore and the sound of a woman reporting became a background.
"- ce of the Ombudsman orders the filing of criminal charges against former Valenzuela representative and-"
My mind wandered, I'll meet my friends again and I hope it won't be the last time. As I cleaned each plate, my thoughts went to Willmark, so what are we? What's our relationship? Do we even have a relationship besides the status of being close friends?
Maybe he'll come, maybe he won't but I hope he would. I would really like to see him again, besides, I've been used to seeing him and having midnight conversations.
But it'll all soon change after all we won't meet too much. It's like when you have a net friend and the two of you seems to hit it off then after just a few days of not having a conversation, the two of you would lose your communication and will end up as strangers.
It's the hard truth, I just hope that it won't happen to us, I hope.
Time seems to slow down, such a fickle thing, I was busy reading Wattpad and is just waiting for my friends message. Mom's already out, she was called by her old client, it's just the three of us today since my brother is still working and wouldn't be arriving in seven.
Jamie! We're already here!
I immediately went downstairs and opened the door after reading Bool's message. There's six of them including Bool, my eyes met Willmark's in no time. In my head I was jumping in joy and screaming in glee but I acted calmly and ushered them in.
We were soon making a mess- I mean started the cooking preparation. They bought some snacks and ice cream as well as bottled coke, they're assigned to the midnight snacks while I am assigned in the rice. We're just going to buy some barbecue and fried chicken from outside.
It lasted for two hours since the boys decided to play mobile games first before helping us and the fact that we're like little kids in the kitchen.
"What should we watch today?" Hanie asked and a debate has begun.
The guys wanted to watch horror, the other wanted some comedy show and the rest wanted anime. We couldn't decided what to watch first so we depended on rock, paper and scissors.
"I won! Horror it is then!" Carl then laughed evilly as I opened the television and connected my phone.
My throat was already sore from screaming and my eyes were repeatedly smacked by my own pillow. We were huddled up on the couch, the guys were sitter on the mattresses that were placed on the floor.
We're in the middle of the movie where the woman was about to open the door, our deets were tensed as well as our entire body. The woman continued to walked towards the door, the background music sound too eerie in my ears. The moment she opened the door, ours opened and the flash of light blinded my sight.
"Ah!"
"Waa!"
"What the fu-"
My ears ring from the screams coming from my friends, I look up and meet the familiar eyes of my mother.
"Oh, you're all here" she closed the door and waved hello to my friends.
"Tita, you scared us!" Bool said which caused my mother to laugh.
"Have you already eaten?" We nodded, mom told us to clean our mess after this and gave us some pillows to sleep on later.
I forgot to tell you, were having a movie marathon and they'll be staying in our house overnight. We then continued the movie, as the night deepens and the cold thickens, me and the rest of my friends each have a blanket on our own.
It's the rainy season this month so it's just normal for the night to get cold, besides, the sound of thunderstorm boom in the sky. My phone vibrated, I read the message and sneak out on the living room.
My friends were either watching with half lidded eyes or is already off to dreamland. I was in the latter but was awoken by the sudden message.
What does he want that we have to sneak out secretly? Guess I'll find out today.
