Lost and Fallen (Memories #1)

Chapter 12

It was how my first day in school ended. 

Hinatid ako nila Ling at Yan sa bahay kahit anong pilit ko sa kanila na kaya ko naman. It was their way daw para makabawi naman sila sakin dahil sa hindi nila ako nasamahan noong lunch. Eventhough I told them that its okay, they just nag and pout their lips coz for them its important that they are with me on my first day. I just laugh when they told me that they gonna be my guardian angel. How sweet.

Hindi na sumama si Spice samin kahit pinigilan siya ni Yan kasi may practice pa raw sila. Tipid na ngumiti si Spice at marahang kinalas ang kapit ni Yan sa kamay niya bago nito hinalikan sa noo para magpaalam. I just wave my hand to him and laugh when Ling rolled her eyes in irritation. Ayaw niya talaga sa mga sweet moments.

I dont know what did I do to have a friends like them. They are thoughtful and kind that when I'm with them I forget about my situation.

Nilakad lang namin ang distansiya mula sa eskwelahan hanggang sa bahay. It was fun and refreshing. I never thought that walking would make me this happy. Marami din naman estudyante naglalakad. Paminsan minsan kaming humihinto kapag may kakilala silang nakakasalubong.

This is gonna be my life from now on. I sighed with that thought.

"Lucky, Maayos ba ang unang araw mo sa eskwela? Hindi ka naman siguro nahirapan iha ano?" Nay Luming ask in the middle of our dinner that night.

Binaba ko ang kutsarang hawak ko bago uminom ng tubig. I look at her and my heart melt when I saw the concern on her face. She slightly smiled.

I told her my day and how bless I am for this opportunity. Alam ko na hindi lahat ng tao ay nabibigyan ng ganitong pagkakataon kaya ganito na lang ang pasasalamat ko sa kanila. I was happy seeing her happy as I told her my first day, I did not mention about the headache I felt coz I'm afraid that they will encourage me to see a doctor again. Dagdag sa gastusin lang pagnagkataon.

"Madison?" Nay luming ask with excitement when I told her who I have  newly met today. "Kaibigan mo siya diba Amira?"

Tumango si Amira kay nanay at nasulyapan ko ang pagkunot ng noo nito sakin bago pinagpatuloy ang pagkain.

"Mabuti naman at may nakikilala ka ng bago. Amira, tinulungan mo naman siguro si Lucky ano?"

"Medyo busy po kami at madaming ginagawa kaya hindi ko na siya nakamusta kanina." Si Amira.

"Okay lang po, kaya ko naman po ang sarili ko kaya wag na po kayong -alala Nay." At isa pa hindi naman ganun kalaki ang college dito para mahirapan pa ko. It is normal that I have a hard time on my first day. I guess everyone could relate to that.

The dinner ended with the silence of Amira and Tay berto. Nay Luming is still insisting the help of Amira and the whole dinner were all about her worries about me and I appreciate that.

"So guys, alam niyo na ha, mamaya after class na lang natin gawin tong pinapagawa ni maam" paalala ni Barbie samin, siya kasi ang napili nilang leader.

Unlike the first day, ngayon ramdam mo na talaga na umpisa na ng klase. May mga post test kaming kinuha, may discussion, may report, recitation na swerte ko lang kasi kahit papano nakasagot naman ako. May group works rin na kailangan naming ipasa bukas.

We are five members, 3 are girls and the rest are boys. I don't know their names yet except Barbie na kanina ko lang rin nakilala. I guess they are responsible naman. I hope so.

"So, were gonna do this in lib?"  I ask.

Natigilan sila sa pagkwekwentuhan at nagkatinginan. What? Did I say something wrong?
