Ride or Die?

Chapter 1.

"Hi Cath." What's his name again?

"Goodmorning Miss Catherine." How about him? Oh I can't remember.

Pag bukas ko ng locker ko naka unlock na to.

Pero hindi na ko nabigla dahil sa araw-araw na ginawa ng Poong Maykapal ganito ang kinahahantungan ng locker ko.

At yun na nga nag laglagan na ang mga chocolates,love letter, a pieces of flowers.

"Wow Ate meron na naman?" Cathleen asked.

"May bago paba?" I answered.

Oo hindi na bago sakin 'to. Ang makatanggap ng kung ano-anong klase ng chocolate, flowers at loveletter. Na a-apreciate ko naman sila pero hindi ba sila nag sasawa?

I mean ni isa sa mga letters nila wala akong sinasagot. Hays!!

"Let's go?" Aya ko kay Cathleen.

Naglakad na kami papunta ng classroom.

I'm Catherine Jamal Manalang a 3rd year AB Political Science Major in Law Student in Montgomery University.

Call me Jamal and you're Dead. Lol! Kidding aside! Hindi lang ako sanay since, parehas kami ni Cathleen na may Jamal sa second name.

I pecked Cathleen's cheek dahil sa College of Accountancy pa ang building niya.

"Ako na." The boy on the second floor na palaging nag try na kunin ang bag ko.

"No it's okay." Sagot ko at nag lakad na dire-diretso. Yes! I always refused him. Ayaw kong bigyan siya ng false hope pag pumayag ako na ipabitbit ang bag ko sa kanya.

Napahinto ako ng biglang mag vibrate ang cellphone ko. And it was Mom who's on the line.

[Hello po Ma?]

[How are my princesses?]

]We're good. Kamusta po kayo ni Dad?]

[Okay naman kami. We'll be home nextweek.]

[Oh really? What bring you home, is there something wrong?]

[Wala naman hija.Na-mimiss lang namin kayo ng Daddy niyo.]

[Oh! Thank God. Room na po ko Ma.]

[Oh, okay. Are you already in School?]

[Yes po.]

[Ok sige. Study Hard Ate.]

[Opo Ma.]

Mommy ended the call. Nagmamadali pa ako pumasok ng room pero buti na lang at wala pang professor. Inayos ko na yung bag ko at naupo na.

I opened my book na The Law on Obligations and Contracts dahil may recitation kami dito sa subject na to.

After five minutes dumating na si Miss Manuquiz.

"Morning PolSci."

"Good Morning Miss." Bati namin.

Hindi na siya nag a-attendance dahil alphabetically arrange kami. So, kung sino ang wala sa upuan pag dating niya it means late ka. At kung after five minutes wala kapa then you're absent.

"Okay class, clear your desk now."

I put my book under the chair. Simula na ng giyera.

She shuffle the index card attached with our names while walking in the aisle infront of us.

"Miss Manalang" Tawag ni Miss Manuquiz with her pamatay na look na poker face.
