Chapter 2
The next day, I was uncomfortable during our last subject. Ngayon na kasi ang pagkikita namin ni Gino sa kakilala niya at hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako handa!
I know that I'm interested to join that local theater arts but I think its just too soon! Ni hindi ko pa nasasabihan sina Kuya tungkol dito at ito ako ngayon, gumagawa nang sarili kong desisyon.
"Sis, relax! As if namang kakainin ka ni Gino 'pag nagkita kayo." Sake told me right after the class dismissed.
Ngayon, naghihintay na sa isa sa mga bench ng SHS building para sa pagdating ni Gino.
Maya't-maya ang pagbaling ko sa mga studianteng dumaraan suot ang uniporme para sa Senior High.
I glanced at my uniform and realized that I don't belong here. Nagsisising dinala pa si Sake dahil panay ang turo niya sa mga gwapong naroon.
Ayon at pinagtitinginan tuloy kami!
"Ayon pa siswap! Kilala mo 'yon diba?!" agad na napabaling ang tingin ko sa itinuro ni Sake.
Kumunot ang noo ko dahil hindi ko naman kilala ang itinuturo niya.
The guy is also wearing the Senior High school uniform. Obviously because it's their building! May katangkaran iyon at hindi kaputian ang balat. To sum it all, just not my type.
Dumako ang tingin ko sa medyo may pagka-brown niyang buhok. I wonder how smooth it was even though it was dyed or maybe its all natural, huh.
Napaiwas ako ng tingin nang bumaling siya sa direksyon namin. He's laughing with his friends and he probably realized that someone is looking at him!
Nagulat ako nang hampasin ako ni Sake sa balikat matapos ibalita ang paparating na bulto ni Gino. On his right side is a girl with a long black hair and her skin is white as pearl. She's so damn pretty even from afar! Dumako ang tingin ko sa suot nito at napagtantong college na ito, bukod don tourism pa!
Mukhang nakwento na ata kami ni Gino sa kaniya dahil nang makalapit. Nakangiti na agad ito sa 'kin.
"You're Iris, right?" she lend her hand for a handshake. Tinanggap ko iyon at ngumiti rin sa kaniya.
"Yeah," halos ibulong ko iyon.
Bumaling siya sa kasama ko at nakipagkamay rin kay Sake.
"I've heard a lot about you." she grinned towards me before he glanced at Gino.
"Ah, he told me that you could help me to register in La el Operands. That's why," nahihiya kong sabi sa kaniya.
She nodded like she knew about it already. "Yes, I do workshops from that theater."
"Let's have a sit, first." sabi ni Gino kaya naman umupo kami sa mga bench na naroon.
"So you and Gino worked already for the Les Miserables. I've watched the show! I can tell that you're good!" sambit niya.
"Oh, anyway. I forgot to introduced my name. Sorry!" she chuckled. "Just call me, Cherry."
So she's also one of the fruits.
"Thanks, uh, Cherry." or should I called her Ate? She's older than me, anyway.
We talked there for minutes and I'm worried that my friend might be bored already. She only introduced me the theater's background as well as her experienced there.
"So in Saturday, kung free ka. P'wede kitang samahan sa La el. You have to bring the registration forms and get ready for the talent exposure." paliwanag ni Cherry sa 'kin.
