#IHJADG1 Chapter 1

It's the beginning of my 2nd-year life of being a college student. My freshman journey is quite okay. Na-stress ako pero hindi umaabot sa punto na umiiyak ako. Since the day after tomorrow is the first day of school, nagpaalam na naman ako sa pamilya ko.

"Bye ma! Bye baby Arthur!" Agad kong binuhat si baby Arthur. Ngumiti lang siya na hindi niya alam na aalis na naman ako. Paano naman din niya maintindihan, 10 months pa ang bunso ko. Hahay bobo Sianna.

Sana hindi ako masyadong abala sa mga requirements tuwing kaarawan niya. Iiyak talaga ako kung hindi ako makapunta.

Pinabuhat ko na si Baby Arthur kay Mama at nagmano ako kay Mama.

"Bye Ma! Again," paalam ko at tumawa.

"Ingat ka ha?" Ngumiti si Mama at tinalikuran ko na siya. Magpahatid nalang ako sa driver namin kasi maraming ginagawa si Papa.

Our driver put my suitcase at the trunk of the car and I sat at the backseat. I rolled down the window and waved.

"Bye!! Ma at Arthur! Mwa!" Paalam ko ulit sabay flying kiss. Nagflying kiss din si Baby Arthur, ang cute talaga niya. Nagmana talaga sa Ate!

When he started the engine, I rolled the windows up again and wore my earphones.

Kumuha ako ng panyo sa bulsa ko at tinakpan sa mga mata ko. Hindi ko kayang hindi umiiyak. Last year, I really cried in front of my parents before departing but now I can manage without them knowing.

I live with my cousin's condo. Ate Ryleigh Gallentes. Her mother is my Mom's sister. We're not that close from the very beginning but we got to know each other more through those past months. Hindi naman ako mahirap pakaibiganin pero si Ate Ryleigh kasi ay medyo tahimik.

I can imagine her alone in the condo. It would be incredibly peaceful but then this girl right here arrived at her place. That's when everything's hyped.

"Thank you po Manong," I said after the driver helped me bringing the suitcase.

"Sige po Ma'am, aalis na po ako," he said and I happily waved at him. "Ingat po!" I said and went inside the building. I got on the elevator and I was about press the close button when there are three people running towards the elevator. I moved to the corner. I stared at those three people, that one particular guy seems very familiar to me.

"Kuya? Aiden?" The guy wearing a black shirt turned his head. My lips parted when I was actually right.

"Kuya!" I said and he was quite surprised too by my presence. "Uy! Sianna! Musta?" He gave me a side hug.

Ang dalawang tao na kasama niya ay napalingon din.

"Walang nagbabago sa akin Kuya, of course! Hindi ba ako binabalita ni Aya sayo tungkol sa akin?" Biro ko lang. I've known Kuya Aiden for too long, elementary pa ako, kilala ko na siya. Palagi din kaming pumupunta sa bahay ni Aya kaya magkikita rin kami.

"Busy eh, last year na namin ngayon sa college, trabaho na naman," he smiled. Ang gwapo talaga ni Kuya Aiden! No wonder crush ko talaga siya noon.

Hindi ko na tinuloy because I think I was too young for him. Happy crush nalang.

He tousled my hair and I gave him a soft glare. Sapagka't wala akong kuya kasi ate ang bumungad sa akin, eh bakit ba kasi pinakahuli lumabas si Arthur, oh well, basta parang kuya ko na si Kuya Aiden.

Surprisingly, we got off on the same floor. "Saan kayo pupunta?" Tanong ko kasi parang parehas lang ang dinadaan namin.

"We're going to our close friend," he said and I shook as my response.
