Chapter 1- The Decision
CASSEY'S POV
*KRING!*KRING!*
"Give… m-mee 5 mo-re minutes." I really need more sleep. I stay up late just to finish my report. Grabe… and hirap maging college.
*TOK!*TOK!*TOK!*
I grab the pollow on my side and cover my ears.
*TOK!*TOK!*TOK!*
Wag mo nalang pansinin Cassey, mapapagod din yan.
*TOK!*TOK!*TOK!*
"U-UGH!" Tumayo na ako and go straight to the door.
"Hi Cas--sey?" Oh! If it is my great friend! Steven. -.-"
"Whut?" I said trying to control my eyes not to close.
"WHY ARE YOU NOT DRESS?! IT'S ALREADY 7 IN THE MORNING! WE'LL BE LATE FOR SCHOOL!" Napa-dilat yung mata ko. WHUT?
"WHHHHAAT?! GAAHD!" I shut the door real quick and fix my bed.
"YOU HAVE 30 MINUTES TO GET READY CASSEY JOANNE! IF YOU'RE STILL NOT DRESS WHEN I GET BACK HERE I--"
"Yeah, yeah. WILL YOU STOP CHITCHATTING SO THAT I CAN DRESS UP?!" I shout back at him.
"K." I really can't tell why I'm friend with this guy. Tss. Bipolar -.-
After I fix my bed, I rush to the bathroom, men. I'm so dead.
Pagkapasok ko sa bathroom, nagmadali na ako, hindi narin ako nag conditioner. After I bath. I walk inside my walk-in closet to get my uniform.
No. Need. To. Lotion.
After I got into my uniform, I quickly brush my hair. I don't care about my looks today.
I grab my bag and open the door.
"Ca--" I saw Steven in front of my door, with his knuckles close, probably he's going to knock.
"Whut? You're just gonna stand there staring at me or we will go ahead--" I stop and look at my watch. "It's already 7:20-- OH MY GOD IT'S SEVEN TWENTY!!" I rush down stairs leaving Steven behind.
I rush to the door, and I saw mom and dad eating breakfast.
"BYE MOM! BYE DAD!" sigaw ko at lumabas. Nagulat ako pag labas ko andun na si Steven.
"How?--"
"I climp out of your window and down on that tree." Sabi niya habang naka smirk.
"No need for chitchats let's go!" Sabi ko sabay hila sa kanya.
Pagdating namin sa harap ng motor- MOTORBIKE? HOW COOOOL!
"Stuborn best friend." He said while messing my hair.
"Wag mo ng guluhin yung buhok ko, kasi magulo na nga. Tara na sakay na tayo!" I said excitingly.
"Oo na, bipolar." Binigay nya sakin yung helmet.
"Tsk. Mana sayo."
"Kapit kang mabuti ah." Sabi niya. Niyakap ko na sya at nagpaharurot na.
"WOOOH! PARTEHH!" Sigaw ko. Pinagtitinginan na kami, bakit ba? Ang saya kaya!
Nrinig ko naman siyang magchuckle. Hmm? Pagtripan ko nga. Kinurot ko pisngi nya.
"Ouch! Cassey what the heck?!" Hehehe. Alam kong ayaw niyang kinukurot sa pisngi eh. Hahahahahaha! Epic yung face! (⌒∇⌒)
Pagdatingt namin sa Harvard University dito sa Cambridge, Massachusetts. Yes, we're here in the states. Yan lang ayaw ko dito eh, laging maaga ang pasok sa college. -.- Tinanggal ko na yung helmet ko at naglakad na papasok.
"I'll wait for you in the garden at lunch later ok?" Steven said, while taking out his helmet.
"K." While chewing on my gum, and brushing my hair using my fingers.
3 subjects bago mag lunch.
"Will you stop chewing gum inside the school? Ah. Iluwa mo na." Sabi niya sakin.
"We're not even inside the-- OH MY GOD! PWE! I'M5MINUTESLATE!! GOTTAGOBYE!!" Niluwa ko na sa kamay niya yung gum ko at tumakbo papasok sa class ko.
"And if you're late-- speaking of late Ms. Williams." My professor ask while one eyebrow raise.
"Ahm… you see-- ahm… and that… because of that… and ahm. Hmm." Sabi ko habang nakatungo.
"Uh-huh go to your sit missy." Sabi ng prof ko at tinuro yung upuan ko.
"Okay. If YOU'RE LATE," pinagdiinan nya yung 'YOU'RE LATE' at tumingin sakin. "You'll get a minus point, so Ms. Williams you're minus 5 beacause you're 5 mins. Late, and you're the one who will present first." My prof said and sit down.
I pick up my laptop and attached it on the projector and present my report.
"…… element has kinds, th metals, nonmetals, and metalloids…." After ng iba pang chichat, natapos rin ako. Bale 15 pages yun.
"Ok. Excellent. You'll get 90 percent. It should be perfect but--" my professor is interupted by my classmate.
"Yeah! We get it! Stop saying it again and again! Jeez!" Oh it's John the bully. -.- He's a Fil-Am.
After ko magreport umupo na ako sa upuan ko at the back. I was listening to the one who is reporting until somebody threw a paper on my head. Guess?
It's John. Again.
Wag mo nalang pansinin. He'll get tired. May nag bato na naman. Nakaabot ng 5 na bato, and I'm getting mad. ಠ╭╮ಠ
"Will you please stop throwing paper?!" Whispered shouting since 3 seat apart lang naman kami.
Nag-kibit balikat lang siya. Tsk. Shibal. After 5 mins. Nagbato ulit siya.
"CAN YOU PLEASE STOP THROWING PAPER?!" Ayan napatayo na ako kakasigaw. (-_-)ゞ゛
"Ms. Williams what is the commotion going on there?" My prof ask irritated.
"I'm sorry sir, it's just that MR. ADAMS keep throwing paper on me." I said. Pinagdiinan ko talaga yung 'MR. ADAMS'.
"Is that true Mr. Adams?" My prof ask while cross-handed.
"I dunno." Sabi niya habang nagkibit balikat.
"Detention later Ms. Williams and Mr. Adams." Sabi niya tapos nagsimula na ulit mag lecture.
Ako nakatunganga lang. Boring eh. Paulit ulit nabasa ko na yan. -.-
"Class dissmiss. Ms. Williams and Mr. Adams after dissmissal go to the detention room." Tumayo na agad yung mga kaklase ko at dumiretso na. Ako inayos ko pa yung things ko. My next class is History. Boooriiing… (-_-)ゞ゛
"CLASS OF MR. KENNTLEBURG YOU HAVE NO CLASSES LEFT BECAUSE OF AN EMERGENCY YOU MAY NOW GO. AND THOSE WHO HAVE DETENTION YOU MAY NOW PROCEED TO THE DETENTION ROOM, FOR 3 HOURS DETENTION." Wow! We have no classes!! Oh yeeeaaah!
Ay! May detention. Great. Because of that John I got detention. Pumunta na ako sa detention room.
Pagakapasok ko, umupo na ako sa pinakadulo malapit sa bintana. Andyan narin si John and I guess kami lang ang nadetention.
Ay! Wala kaming pasok. Pano kami maglulunch ni Steven?
Matext nga.
To: Douchebag
Hey douchebag, we don't have classes and I have 3 hours detention. I can't have lunch with you.
Sent.
After waiting for a reply, nag earphones muna ako.
*BZZT*BZZT*
From: Douchebag
Detention? Wow. Interesting. I'll wait for you at the garden still. We'll have ICE CREAM STRWBERRY to celebrate your failure. xx
He's really is a douche. Wonder how he got 3 girlfriends?
"Hey Ms. Asshole." Tumitingin tingin ako sa paligid. I look like a noob right? Dalawa lang naman kami dito eh. -.-
"Whut?" I said. Tinanggal ko yung earphones ko para makinig sa sasabihin niya.
"Ikaw may kasalanan bakit AKO nadedetension eh." He said while glaring at me.
"Wow ha. "IKAW" lang ba ang nadetention? As you can see it's your fault why we're here." I said.
"Well missy, if you didn't shout we're not here." He said while crossing his arms.
"And if you didn't throw me those papers, I didn't shout." I snapped back. Buti, tumalikod na siya.
"It's worth it. You're still here."
I heard whisperings. Oh well, don't. Caaaare. I put my earphone back.
**
"Ms. Williams and Mr. Adams you can now go home." Sabi nung nagbabantay samin. John stood up at derederetso na siya palabas. Jeez…
I fix my things and head straight to the garden. I saw Steven sitting under a tree. Hehe pagtripan nga.
I got closer quietly and gently pinched his cheeks. Men, I love how he reacts.
"Ah sh*t." Napatayo siya bigla. Buti konti nalang tao dto or another detention na naman.
"Aww, timmy says bad words?" I said pouting and doing bwing bwing. Hehe
"Stop it Jonny." He said smirking whikle massaging his cheeks. (AN: Jonny is pronounced as 'Jowni')
"C'mon! Let's get ice cweam." I said pouting and pulling him.
"Uh-uh not until you say sorry baby." Sabi niya at hinarap ako.
Imbes na mag sorry, I pinched his cheeks like an elastic.
"Oww f*ck sh*t!" He said while trying to pull my hand away. Buti wala ng tao dito.
"One more pinch or we'll get ice cream?" I said crossed-arms.
He sigh. "Ugh. Fine." While massaging his cheeks.
Pumunta kami sa pinakamalapit na ice cream parlor. He ordered me a strawberry ice cream and a vanilla caramel. Yes I can eat two ice cream.
*TOOTITOOT*
Kay Steven yun.
"Cassey, nag text sila mom we better hurry may importan daw silang sasabihin."
"K, let's go." Sabi ko hinila ko na siya excited na naman akong sumakay sa motorbike. (^～^)
15 mins ang byahe from the ice cream parlor to our house. Pagkadating namin. Nandun din yung parents ni Steven. Woah. This is something important.
"Hey kids." Sabi ni Tita Tracy (Steven's mom).
"Ah hello po tita." I said smiling and bowing.
"Sit down." My mom ordered. Wow pwede pa pala mag seryoso si mama?
"So napagusapan na namin na your going to stay in the Philippines for good." My dad started.
"What?!" "Cooool!" Nagkatinginan kami ni Steven… did we just…?
"Did we just say that at the same time?" Napahawak kaming dalawa sa bibig namin.
"Oh my god stop that!" Ano ba yan sabay na naman kami.
"Dad it's the middle of second semester…" I complained.
"We have a business to take care." My dad continued.
"But. Mooooom…" I said. Si mama na lang pag asa ko. Ayaw ko pumunta sa Philippines. Why? Because, there's no snow there.
"No baby. Stay there until you finish college and if you like you can go back here to work." My mom said. Oh no!
"But… but… there's no snow there!" I said pouting.
They all laugh. What?
"Why y'all laughing?" I said.
"Okay. Okay. If you want you can spend your christmas vacation here." My mom said and they all agreed.
"Okay!! C'mon let's pack!" I said running upstairs.
