Finally! I can breathe now. Kakasimula palang ng school year, but I feel like I've been here forever. Gahd.
Afterwhat happened this morning, I really need to destress! I texted Kuya to pick me up.

After a few minutes, dumating na si Kuya. We decided to go the mall near Thames. Niyaya ko muna siya kumain, so we went to the coffee place we spotted just outside the mall.
"So, how's your first day?" He asked. "At bakit parang stressed ka na masyado?"
"Remember that guy at the park? Turns out, kaklase ko siya sa isang subject! And the nerve of that guy, feeling niya pag-aari niya yung school. Kung maka-angkin ng upuan!"
"So ngayon, ang pinag-awayan niyo naman e upuan?!" He lifted a brow as he stared at me in disbelief.
"Kuya, it's just not about the seat. You know how much I hate bullies! Kakabalik ko nga lang sa 'outside world', tapos eto lang sasalubong saken!" I almost yelled. "It's like the universe is testing me, to be honest."
"Okay, I get you. And I know you're never one to back down from a fight, lalo na kung alam mong nasa tama ka. But Madz, try to choose your battles. Like you said, you're just starting your life again. How can you enjoy it, especially your college life, if palagi mong papatulan si Mr. Bully mo. Do you get what I'm trying to say?" He explained.
"Well, I guess you're right. Fine then! I'll try to keep an open mind, at habaan pa lalo yung pasensya ko. Pero nako talaga, i-try niya lang talaga to push all my buttons... hindi lang sapak aabutin niya!"
Kuya Luke just laughed while shaking his head.
After a few hours of kwentuhan, umuwi na din kame ni Kuya. To be honest, this day wasn't so bad at all.
I met two new friends: Patrick and Lorraine. Lorraine's a second year Management student, while Patrick's a second year IT student, like me. Also, he's gay, which I love because I didn't have any gay friends back in Nice. Kakakilala palang namen, pero ang gaan na agad ng loob ko sa kanilang dalawa. Nakalimutan ko for a while yung nangyari nung umaga. They always make me laugh, and ang daldal din nila, especially Patrick.
The following days went on like a blur. Before I know it, it's the weekend already!
Wala pa masyadong happenings sa school since first week palang. And to my surprise, hindi na ako binuwiset ni Mr. Engot, whose real name I found out later is Elijah Rothwell.
