୨ৎ Chapter 4: Do I look good?

★ 4

TIME SKIP

nothing really happened at sunday except for going to Church and pray that my family would be better and healthy again and that my mom would come back. I missed my family as always.

At Monday, I woke up from the bussing loud alarm that made my heart jump and instantly open my eyes and go up from bed.

My mind realized that it was my first day at school. My heartbeat was raising with excitement and was kind of nervous.

I first fixed my bed and went to the bathroom, took a bath, wore my new ironed uniform and my bag from yesterday that my Tita bought me. School supplies were there, notebooks, papers, pencil case filled with many stuff and an umbrella.

Then, I ate breakfast, brushed my teeth, brushed my hair and put a star clip to top it off.

After that, my cousin and I were ready. I looked in the mirror to check how I look.

“Zar, Do you think my mom would say that I look amazing in my new uniform?”

I said, my voice slightly faint.

Zar replied, her hand on my shoulder.

“bet she would.”

We then went to our elders and said our permissions to go to school.

“Mano po, punta na kami sa school”

( Translation: (Mano po is a traditional way of greeting our elders, actually an act where you put their knuckles on your forehead)

Permission to go, we’re going to school )

They smiled and waved their hands before giving us baon (money) as we also waved back and closed the door.

As we went out the apartment my cousin—Zar and I waited for a jeep to come by, it was still 6:34 in the morning, we were pretty early and kind of excited.

A jeepney came by and we sat there quietly, Zar telling the driver our school. The driver nodded, started the engine and drove. The wind was flowing through my hair and the music from the drivers seat was heard as well as people coming to the jeep.

Faint chuckles and chatter were there as we waited for our destination.

Even though it was still 6am, the markets and places we passed by was already crowded and full of people. Classic Manila.

We then arrived 12 minutes later. Our school was actually kinda far.

We landed and paid the driver as we went to the gates and the school security guard welcomed us and asked if we were new. We nodded, of course we were new.

The next thing was a teacher came and asked if we were the new 11th grade students. Yes we were.

She assigned us to our classroom with a smile.

Zar was at the 2nd floor at a tall building, she was at HUMSS - B

while I was at STEM - A at the next building beside hers at the 3rd floor. Everything was going well. Students were already there walking, chatting and meeting others.

It wasn’t exactly the first day of school, it was sort of my first day here.

When I arrived at my classroom, a familiar face meeted mine.

“Hey you must be the new student? I’m the class president. Good morning by the way.”
