MONDAY

School again. So boring. Our first period was English na tinuturo naman ni Ma'am Yuna our adviser. Hindi naman nakakaantok subject niya e! It's my favorite subject anyway. It's just yung mga sumunod na subjects lang ang nakakaantok sa klaseng to e.

Anyhoo..

"Class, we'll be having a new student in class, your classmate as well." ininterrupt muna saglit ni Ma'am yung announcement niya.

Nagulat naman kami sa sinabi ni Ma'am Yuna. New classmate? Nagbulungan naman mga tao sa classroom namin. Are they that curious?

"New classmate, Ma'am? He or She?" tanong ni Ciara.

"It's a 'she.'"

Oh, it's a girl pala. Hmmm..

"Ma'am, ano po name niya?"

"Well. Let's just know it when she comes to school."

So surprise ang drama ni Ma'am Yuna ngayon? Why? How come that student has a special welcome? Lucky her!

"I know nagtataka kayo kung bakit ko sinasabi to sa inyo. It's because siya kasi yung anak ng founder ng school na to. That's why ngayon pa lang, iniintroduce ko na. She'll be here after a few weeks, I guess."

Tumango na lang ako. Kaya pala e, rich kid yun malamang. I wonder who she is?

LUNCH

Naka-rest lang yung arm ko sa table at nagsiscribble lang naman ako ng kung anu-ano sa notebook ko. Get the picture?

I'm bored, right? I told you readers from the start pa lang. My life is just boredom not until dumating si-

"Hoy."

Yep, it's him.

"Ano?"

"Di ka pa kakain?" tanong naman niya.

Since when pa siya naging concerned sakin? Hmmm.. Something's fishy.

"Not hungry." tapos tumuloy ulit ako sa pagsiscribble sa notebook ko. Haay. What to do?

"Sus."

I heard his footsteps nearer. And my tummy made a sound na parang gutom. You know yung sound na nagagawa ng tiyan? Basta yun. Ok. Gutom na nga ako.
