A Candid Love Story

Candid 5

Flashback

It's the first day of school and I'm here in front of the school gate habang nakatingala sa logo ng school.

"Here you go Bridge. New school, new life and new friends. Show them what you've got and do your best. Aja!" pagkausap ko sa sarili ko sabay hinga ng malalim at tap sa sarili kong balikat.

*ring...ring...ring

I was walking at the hallway when the school bell rang giving me a hint that classes are about to start kaya napatingin ako sa wristwatch ko....O_O Oh.My.Ghad it's already 7:26 am and I only got 4 mins left before the class starts kaya lakad takbo na ang ginawa ko para makaabot sa room ko na hindi ko pa alam kung nasaan at nasa 3rd floor pa. Naku naman unang araw minamalas na ako ah...

Nasa hagdan na ako paakyat sa 2nd floor ng may makasabayan ako na isang estudyante na kung gaano ako natataranta para makaabot sa room ko at halos maligo na sa pawis ganun naman siya ka relax na parang walang pakealam na naglalakad lang at nakapamulsa pa ang dalawang kamay sa varsity jacket niya na kulay blue habang naka-earphones at naka-lollipop.

Teka baka hindi niya narinig ang bell kasi naka-earphones naku naman siguro wala talaga siyang kamalay-malay na mala-late na siya. Chill na chill lang eh pero dahil nga sa malalate na ako at 2 minutes nalang bago mag-umpisa ang klase hindi na ako nag-abalang pagsabihan pa nang oras si Ms. Schoolmate malaki na yun bala siya dyan haha. Bad Bridget, bad! >___<

Nang makarating ako sa room dumiretso na ako sa nakita kung vacant seat 3 chairs from the door. Sakto naman pagkaupo ko ang pagpasok ng teacher sa classroom. Woohh sakto lang ang dating ko, as usual we greeted the teacher first and then pray after that introduced your name portion na.

Since from the back nag-umpisa ako yung pangatlong nag-introduce sa harap ng klase. I proceeded in front and gathered all my guts to speak without shuttering.

"Hi everyone! My name is Bridget Yuan, I'm 15 years old and I'm from St. Dominic Academy. My hobbies are painting and dancing but my forte is in fashion. That's all and it was nice meeting you guys I hope we can be friends" wooh mission accomplished. Para naman akong nakahinga ng maluwag nung makabalik na ako sa upuan ko.

Nang matapos na ang lahat sa pagpapakilala, the teacher was about to speak when the door opens.

Oh she's the girl from the 2nd floor awhile ago. Grabe parang isang taon ang inabot niya bago makarating dito sa room ah.

"Good Morning? May I know why are you late Miss?..." tanong naman sa kanya ng guro in a nice way. I guess she'll be excuse since it's just first day of class.

"Uhm..I'm sorry if I'm late...it's because I find it hard to find this room" sabay kamot sa batok niya in a boyish way. Aigoo so cute *___*

I guess she's shy because paputol-putol yung pagkakasabi niya kanina at nakayuko pa siya habang nagsasalita

"Oh is that so? Ok you can come in now and proceed here in front to introduce your name" the teacher instructed her with a smile, kaya nag-umpisa narin siyang maglakad papunta sa harap habang nakayuko parin. Napakatahimik naman ng classroom at lahat kami ay nakatutok sa kanya at nag-aabang sa sasabihin niya. OMy kung ako yan baka natunaw na ako, ang awkward kaya pagkaganyan.

"I'm Elle Shawn Sobrevega, I'm 15 years old."nag-umpisa na siyang maglakad papunta sa upuan malapit sa window since yun nalang ang vacant. Yun lang?! Hindi naman siya matipid magsalita no?

"Uhm ok Ms. Sobrevega so can you tell us more about yourself?"the teacher asked her when she was about to sit kaya bigla siyang napatayo ng tuwid.

"There's nothing more interesting about me Miss" she bluntly said, wooh she has an attitude huh...

"I am certainly sure there is okay I'll just ask you random questions. Saang school ka galing?" tanong naman ulit sakanya ng teacher habang nakangiti parin

"I'm from Western Highschool" sagot naman niya, ang tipid talaga niyang magsalita eh noh? Isang tanong, isang sagot ang trip ni ate eh.

"Ok? So your from one of an elite school, tell us what are your hobbies?" dagdag pa ng guro

"I'm fond of photography, painting and baking pastries" wow she has so many good talents and pangmayaman rin ang mga hilig niya ha? I think she's a Rich Kid.

"Wow so you have great talents naman pala, why are you saying awhile ago that there is nothing interesting about you?..."sabay ngiti niya ".. You may now sit Ms. Sobrevega" at nagpatuloy na ang klase

"Good Morning again class I am Ms. Devina Mortel and I will be your adviser for this school year. Since it's first day of school I'm giving you the rest of the time to know each other most especially the transferees. Goodbye class, have a nice day!"at lumabas na nga siya ng room, kaya nagsipaghiyawan naman yung mga kaklase ko.

Nabaling naman yung tingin ko kay Ms. Word Limit na parang may sariling mundo at nakatingin lang sa labas ng bintana at walang pakialam sa paligid habang kumakain nanaman ng lollipop at naka-earphones, she really has an attitude doesn't she? Nabaling naman ang tingin ko sa dalawang babaeng nakatayo sa harap ko habang nakangiti ng malapad saakin.

" Hi Bridget! I'm Gail Ramirez and this is Xandee Bryn hihi can we be friends? "napaka-cheerful na pagpapakilala saakin ni Gail sabay abot ng kamay niya kaya tinanggap ko rin naman.

"Hi Gail and Xandee it's nice meeting you guys and yeah of course we can be friends"sabay shakehands ko rin sa kanya at kay Xandee rin.

"So you love painting? Ano naman ang mga pini-paint mo?" tanong naman saakin ni Xandee sabay upo sa right side ko na vacant seat

"Uhm I like to paint more about nature"

"Wow next time show us your paintings ok?" parang batang saad naman ni Gail na nagti-twinkle pa ang mga mata.
