My Highschool Lovelife

Chapter I: Love at First Sight

Jerry's POV

Heto na, papasok na ako. Pangalawang linggo na namin sa high school. Malapit na ang bus.

PAGDATING SA SCHOOL...

Nandito na ako sa classroom ko. Andun upuan ko sa gilid ng room. Ang ganda ng sahig. Biglang, *tumama sa iba*

"Tumingin ka nga sa dinadaanan mo," ang narinig kong sigaw ng isa pang studyanteng tumama sa akin.

Nang napatingala ako at tumingin sa kanya, na-shock sya na parang nasa isip nya: "Ang gwapo nya! Why did I shout at him?" Magpasalamat sya kami yun dalawang naunang pumasok kapag pinagkumpara ang buong klase.

PAGDAAN NG SAMPUNG MINUTO...

Nandito na at last yun mga kaibigan ko. Sina David at Derrick. "Kumusta ka na, kaibigan??" Sabay na tanong nila sa akin. "Bakit namumula yang pisngi mo, Jerry?", biglang tanong ni David sa akin. Napatingin sila sa babaeng nasa kabilang gilid ng room. "AYIEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!" Biglang silang kinilig. Wow, sobrang OA nila.

PAGDATING SA KLASE...

Ang sabi ng guro," Class, mayroon kayong limang minuto to think of an embarassing moment na nangyari sa buhay nyo. After five minutes, I will randomly call people na pupunta sa harapan at sasabihin ang napili."

PAGTAPOS NG LIMANG MINUTO...

Diana's POV

"Diana, ikaw mauna," I heard the teacher call me. Sa lakas ng nararamdaman kong kutob, I almost forgot to speak. But I had the strength to resist.

"Well, kaninang umaga lang ito nangyari," ang sabi ko sa harapan.

"AYIEEEEEEEEE! AYAN NA!" I heard David and Derrick.

Wait, they know about this? How do they know? Do they stalk me? Probably not, I thought to myself.

"Sa sobrang antok ko, I accidentally swapped my OJ for my milk habang kumakain ako ng cereal," ang sabi ko.

EVERYONE WAS LAUGHING AT ME. It actually felt good. EVERYONE EXCEPT DAVID AND DERRICK.

"Ano ba naman to! Kala ko naman yun nadapa sya," I read their lips as they whispered to each other pagtapos ng tawanan.

PAGDATING NG RECESS...

This is the perfect time to apologize to Jerry for what I did to him, I thought.

Nilapitan ko si Jerry.

"Jerry, naalala mo pa ba noong sinigawan kita kaninang umaga?"

"Oo. Bakit?", he questioned me.

"I hope you forgive me. Hindi ko sinadyang sinigawan ka. Sana hindi na to maulit," sabi ko sa tanong nya.

"Sure. I hope so, too. But, out of topic, may dare ako para sa iyo," sabi nya sa akin.

I would always accept a dare from anyone, no matter the cost.

Tinuloy ni Jerry ang sinabi nya. "Everytime na sasagot ka ng positive na sagot sa akin (ex: Opo, Oo, Ok, Sure), sasampalin kita. Kapag negative, sisipain kita. It starts after this. Ok?"

"Ok," sabi ko. Then, I suddenly remembered the dare he just said. Then, he slapped me.

He then said, "Slap count: 1."

I thought, Ok. That was promising. Kala ko he was just kidding. Well, I guess I'm stuck with this.

Biglang dumating ang teacher.

"Too much recess. Nandoon na yun mga studyante noong sampung minuto lang kanina. OFF TO DETENTION! BOTH OF YOU!"

PAGDATING SA DETENTION ROOM...

I couldn't believe my eyes at what the room looked like:
1. Madumi sya
2. Unorganized
3. Quiet

I almost wanted to find a good corner to cry in, my back facing away from everything.

I just stuck to my drawing book. I drew and drew whatever there was to draw.

Yun mga ibon, yun upuan, si Jerry, yun mga.... WAIT! BAKIT AKO MAY DRAWING NI JERRY DITO!?

I crumpled it up and put it in my pocket, thankfully unnoticed.

He was just using his phone. Hindi ko na inisip kung ano kaya yun ginagawa nya sa phone nya.

PAGTAPOS NG LIMANG MINUTO...

Biglang bumukas ang pinto. Who would be coming in: someone to join us, or to scold us?

It was someone to join us. None other than David and Derrick.

"Sina David at Derrick ba ine-expect mong papasok dito?", Jerry asked.

"Nope," I answered.

Then he kicked me. "Slap count: 1. Kick count: 1. You're on a roll, girl."

"Hahaha," I joked.

Then, he turned to the two. "What'd you do to get in here?"

"We had a fight in the cafeteria," David answered.

Bigla akong nagulat sa narinig ko. I can't believe they actually fight with each other.

I kept drawing as the two sat down at the third row seats.

PAGTAPOS NG LIMA PANG MINUTO...

"And, done!" I declared.

My drawing was finished. I drew the whole detention room in just ten minutes. COOL!

Jerry was still using his phone, probably Facebook, while the two were actually sleeping.

Jerry also looked at the two, saying, "So that's how they sleep, huh?"

"It's extremely weird," I replied.

As I sat down, halos matawa na ako kapag naiisip ko sa utak ko kung paano sila natutulog.

This time, I'd also use my phone. Then suddenly, an annotation popped up. May message si Katie sa akin. It said:

"Hey, friend. I feel bad for you. Pinauwi na kami kanina. Kailan kayo palalabasin dyan?"

I replied with a simple:

"IDK"

Then suddenly, the teacher slammed the door open. Halos mabagsak na namin nina Jerry yun mga phone natin. The slam woke the sleepyheads up. Finally.

"Out. You're free to go," the teacher declared.

I almost had the urge to shout "FREEDOM!" when I went out the door.

I saw that all the corridors were empty and most lights were now off. Katie wasn't joking. I can't believe they really were let out. I also didn't notice it was nighttime because the detention room didn't have windows. Weird for a room to be like that.

"So, what now?" Jerry asked me as we were outside the gate.

"Hitch a ride. Go home. Eat dinner. Rest. It's that simple. Why don't you know?" I asked him.

He answered, "Oh nothing. Because it's a personal reasoning. It's none of your business."

I shrugged at him. He rolled his eyes at me as I hitched a ride back home. Strange happenings today.

Recap:
1. Strange accident
2. Embarrassing recitation
3. New dare from Jerry
4. Detention

Second Monday in highschool is finally complete. Another busy day tomorrow. Better get some rest, I thought.

From the Author:
Basically, every chapter counts as 1 day. After all, I need to get at least 1000 words per chapter, which is more than enough. Jerry and Diana had a rough day in highschool. Specifically, today. That's all for now.
