My ride is slow now. Avoiding potholes. The morning wind blew a little on my skin. I couldn't help but close my eyes because of the sadness I was feeling because the school I was going to was different. I used to walk to where I was going, now I can't do it again. that's because we're already in the city. I looked out the open window of the van I was riding in now. It took the long road to my school.
I glanced at the driver using the rearview mirror. I noticed he was seriously driving while looking at the road we were on. I rolled my eyes outside and continued watching the buildings I could see.
It was as if I had been returned to the memories I was not experiencing now. Everything seemed to be fresh to me again when I was still in our province.
"Son, here we are." The old man driving the van I was riding in said.
I opened the door of the van and got out. I handed over my payment before finally leaving
"Be careful son." The old man smiled which is why I like it more. "All right, son, I'll be the first."
I came here alone to go to school because I was no longer young for my parents to take me.
I let out a deep breath as I faced a large blue gate.
I stooped and walked in because I was still embarrassed because I was not used to a rich school.
I raised my head and I was shocked by what I saw. The beauty here is that there are many tall buildings inside and many students are scattered on the benches, other students play football and basketball and volleyball, some also play badminton.
I even rolled my eyes to look at the beautiful buildings but when I rolled my eyes I was struck by someone looking at me and whispering.
Suddenly embarrassed I bent down and walked without knowing where I was going. Maybe they say I look like a fool because I'm still staring at the building but how do they know if I can be beautiful in buildings.
I stopped walking when suddenly someone bumped into me. I looked in front of me and the man's very bossy face opened up to me
with a raised eyebrow. She was wearing the school uniform I was going to attend today and had a necklace around her neck and black pants and black shoes.
"Bro! Look at the one you're going through once, it's not the one you're bent over walking." He said calmly to me.
"S-sorry ho." Stuttering if answer. "I did not mean." I was confused by his answer.
"Sorry?" I answered him again. "Sh*t. What can you do, sorry? Next time, look at what you're going through. Just push me.
With the force of his push on me, I suddenly sat on the floor. People stopped walking and looked at me. I could feel the pity in their eyes.
I got up and unzipped my pants. It's very unfortunate that today I didn't mean what happened. I thought he was also smart, but he looks ugly, he looks like a buset. Imagine who the fire is here.
Why? It seems that the people of Manila look different than the provinces but I don't know and it seems that the effect is different when I'm here in Manila.
Am i attraced of him?
The f*ck !!
I walked again without knowing the destination. It was a frustrating first day for me here when I went to school just because of that man who was feeling hot here that I couldn't fathom.
I turned around because I didn't know where I was going because I didn't know how to get around here. I wasn't with him when I enrolled in this school, only mommy went.
I really couldn’t help but admire the beauty and size of this school, I didn’t expect that. From the outside until I get inside I can't stop looking at every part of the school I see. This school is really cool, I wouldn’t miss that.
I want to tour the whole school in case I run out of time but it's okay because it's just the first day.
First, if you go to the gym in the middle of the buildings, it is big and there are two computer rooms to the left and right of the gym. And next to it is the library and next to the library is the cafeteria. He is also big and he is open, their library is big but it is a little bigger than the one I entered before in the province. I will nod compared to my mind. I was amazed at the size of the soccer field here, in fact, the basketball court is just as big.
I rolled my eyes at the buildings around the gym but the two buildings behind the gym caught my eye, maybe it's the college I think.
Seriously, I didn't really think that I would be able to get this much here in Manila, I thought the schools here were the same as in the province, I was wrong. I was able to look up at the buildings with someone speaking behind me.
"What are you doing here sir?" A cold voice spoke from behind me.
I immediately looked at it and then I smiled but suddenly I withdrew my smile when I saw the man who ran into me earlier.
"I said what are you doing here?" He amplified what he was saying.
"I'm just new here so I toured this whole school." I turned my back on him and looked again at the surrounding buildings.
"Ahh i see, that's why you're talking to yourself like crazy." Laughing he said.
I was stunned for a moment before my face went up.
"Are you insulting?" I confronted him.
It's insulting that he used to feel like a gangster here at school. He has a look, he's handsome in fact but with his aura and the tone of his words you feel like a gangster who will leave you and suddenly grab you.
He looked at me for a long time before grinning demonically.
"Feel free to go back to where you previously entered." He winked at me.
I laughed at what this man was saying.
"Also feel free to leave in front of me." I winked at him too and turned my back on him.
"Enjoy your first day." He said afterward.
I continued to walk around and removed the bad aura of the village man who was feeling gangster.
I stopped for a moment to see what time I might be sick in my first class.
I was swallowed walking while looking for my classroom, I was in grade ten but I didn't know where my classroom was in this building.
Their school is really big so it's tempting to wander around. But I think it's easier to study in the province because each building is so close to each other, unlike here, it's like riding in a jeep to get to the other building.
I was about to walk in case I saw a woman standing in a big tree, I approached her and asked which building was grade 10. She immediately pointed to the second building on the right.
I immediately ran to that building, gasping for breath. I looked at every door of the classroom from the first floor to the fifth floor, there were as many lists of students as to which room you were going to enter.
My classroom is on the fourth floor at the far end because my name is there.
I'm right in front of the door of our classroom, I'm shaking with nervousness because this is my first time I'm a student here in Manila.
"BRO! Turn away from the door, don't block the barrier" said a familiar voice from behind me.
I didn't mistake him for the man feeling gangster earlier. "What else?"
You're blocking the door." He slammed the classroom door and leaned his arm against the door.
"What do you know?" One eyebrow raised when said.
"AZRIEL!" From behind me a man approached a man.
Is your name Azriel? more arrogant. It's a pity you're still handsome.
"Is pate a man formed by you?" The man who had just arrived said then turned to me.
"Hello" He smiled greeting me. "Who is he now that I saw here?" He was mad at his friend.
"I don't care who he is." Azriel replied then looked at me.
"Hi, I'm Jash."
"Then?" It was reassuring that I told him then they turned away. Pshh it looks like I don't have to wonder why they react like that to me.
I sat in the back near the window because I didn't want anyone next to me because they looked arrogant.
"Hi! Are you new here?" A woman approached me.
"Yes why?" I refused to answer.
He also went home. "I'm Anastasha Alorna" She held out her hand. "You can call me Ana."
"Aiden." We shook hands.
"From now on we'll be friends." Smiling He said. I just nodded even though I wanted to make friends with the man from Manila.
Math is our first class today. When our lecturer arrived, he looked cursed, he raised an eyebrow looking at us and his lips were red and he was carrying his bag.
"You all know each other, right?"He said to us.
"No, miss!" Smiling we answer.
"Who is the transferee?" He asked.
Anastasha immediately pointed me in the back.
"You stand up." Suddenly the lecturer's voice became hoarse.
I was not able to answer right away. I was embarrassed to stare at the lecturer before turning to my classmates so badly that Azriel looked at me and just smiled and stared at me. It made me wonder what was wrong with what I had done.
