Lumabas na ako mula sa pagkakaupo ng jeep. I arrived at our school at exactly 6:30 a. m in the morning. This is it. The BLEU SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL engraved in a silver lettering reflects the sunlight as I walk through the opening view of main gateway. Pagkapasok ko, nakasalamuha ko ang isa sa mga teachers ng aming paaralan. Bumati muna ako ng "Good morning ma'am!" at lumiko sa pamilyar na direksyon patungong quadrangle. As I was viewed to the front, students were formed in line, some were not.
A tall and lean guy with atleast 5'10 feet, jet black hair, was jumping up and down while speaking. Teka, pamilyar 'yang isang lalaki, ah. Kaklase ko pala yung naka-jersey ng #06 na kaibigan ni Martin. I figured out, he is Leo Vaugn Ignacio Retes. Yung nag-'hi' sa akin sa subdivision at sineen ko dahil nagkamaling napindot ang video call bar sa messenger. Ilang minuto nalang at magsisimula na ang flag ceremony.
When I realized that he will be my classmate for this school year, I smiled when he met my eyes. Yet he avoided my gaze. Anong problema nito? Nevermind.
Maingay na nag-uusap ang mga estudyante sa paligid mula high school level hanggang senior high level. Sa ilang metrong layo, rinig na rinig ko ang mga boses nina Leo, may intinatanong kay Paul. Ano kaya? In curiosity, I tried eavesdroping but someone called me, asking for my attention.
"Marty! Hi!," someone shouted. I looked at the back to respond. Grace Ramirez is my groupmate in Project Proposal last year. She has a long slim figure with braided hair. She went to Bleu Science High School at elementary. Sa madaling salita, matagal na siyang nag-aaral dito kaya marami siyang kakilala at not to mention na sobrang friendly niya, marami talaga siyang nakaka-close.
"Hi Grace, good morning,"
"What section are you in, Marty?"
"Einstein. Ikaw, Tesla diba? Hindi tayo classmates this year,"
The conversation ended quickly, but for the second time around, someone interrupted me again.
"Hi, anong name mo?," tanong ng babaeng naka-eyeglasses sa bandang kanan ko. In my peripheral vision, a brown haired girl is on her way here. Reah Vaness Torres was walking towards our direction. Sinenyasan ko siya na pumunta sa linya namin.
"Hi guys.," Reah asked.
"Marty Sanz, ikaw?," I replied.
"My name is Roselyn Banca. Hi, what's your name?," Roselyn asked.
"Reah Vaness Torres, Hi Roselyn.," Reach gives her reply.
"Tiga-Herbetz kayo, noh?," Roselyn asked.
"Yes.," Reah and I replied in chorus.
"Dito lang kayo mag-ka-college?," Roselyn asked.
"Depende, kung susubukan kong magpasa ng admission examination sa Yale, pero hindi matatanggap. Joke.," I answered.
"Hahahahaha. Grabe, ang tatalino siguro ng mga taga-PSHS, noh?," Reah said.
"Sinabi mo pa. Matatalino rin naman dito sa'tin.,' Roselyn replied.
"Magsisimula na Flag Ceremony, guys.," I said.
We did the usual program. Nagbigay lang ng welcome greetings ang SSG officers. Pagkatapos, nagkanya-kanya na ng pasok sa bawat silid-aralan ang bawat isa. Sunod na gumalaw ang aming linya nang nagtagpo na naman ang tingin namin ni Leo habang nakasuot ng facemask.
