CHAPTER 1: BACK TO MY HOMETOWN[/b]
[b][2 YEARS AGO, MAY 27, 2006, 3:10 P.M][/b]
"Wendy! Bilisan mo nga! Ma-mimiss na natin yung flight!"
"Oo na! Parang hindi mabigat 'tong dinadala ko ah."
"Wag ka na magreklamo dyan! Balibhasa, you're not doing any physical activities, kaya ganyan yang katawan mo."
"OK, I get it, I get it. (Hmp, si kuya talaga.)"
"What did you say?"
"Nothing.
"
Haha... Palusot effect. Si kuya talaga. Parating nagmamadali... Lalo na ngayon. Excited makauwi. And where are we going? Back to Pinas.
"Pagpasensyahan mo na kuya mo, Wendy. Ganyan lang talaga yan.
Lalo't na makikita na niya si Mikki."
"Mikki? Sino siya, ma?"
"Ahh. Si Mikki, childhood friend ng kuya Youske mo. Siya nga yung first crush niya eh.
"
"Si kuya? Magkakacrush? Imposible yata yun. Masyadong mataas yung pride ni kuya para magka-GF."
"Tumahimik ka dyan Wendy!"
"Uuy! Guilty!"
"Shut up!"
"OK, fine, fine...
"
Actually, I'm excited too. I can't quite remember what Philippines looks like, the food that they eat, the schools they have there. I'm just glad that I'm back.

[b][IN THE PLANE, 3:30 P.M][/b]
"Please fasten your seat belts, we'll be leaving in 5 minutes."
"5 minutes?! I can't wait that long!"
"Kuya, easy ka lang. 300 seconds lang yan. Parang 300 years ka maghihintay ah."
"Eh, excited ako eh. Ano paki mo?"
"Kuya, relax. Cool down. Tubig, gusto mo?"
"Tumahimik ka na nga!"
Haha...
Nakakatawang asarin Si kuya.
Mainisin eh.
"Wendy, stop picking on your brother."
"Yan... Napagsabihan."
"OK mom. (Mamaya ka sakin Kuya!)"
"Ano?"
"Wala lang.
"
"Announcement, we have already took off."
"Yan! Dapat lang."
"Kuya talaga.
"

[b][A COUPLE OF HOURS LATER][/b]
"Teka, ma, punta lang ako sa pilot. Tatanungin ko kung kailan ba tayo makakarating. Nakakainip na eh."
"Youske! Be patient!"
"OK mom."
"We'll be landing in a few minutes. Please prepare your bags and luggage."
"Oh, ayan na kuya ha. Wait for a few minutes, mag-laland na tayo.
"
"Attention, passengers, we have already landed."
"Finally!"
"Kuya! Parang di pinanganak sa Pilipinas! Swerte ka nga at nakita mo pa 'to eh, Ako, lumaki sa US. Sawang-sawa na ako sa mga mapuputi!"
"Haha... Masanay ka na ngayon sa mga moreno't morena."
"Yup.
"
"Oh, kids, let's go get a taxi, I'll show you the house we used to live before. I asked a friend to watch over it while we're gone. I never expected we'd be gone THIS LONG. (13 years)"
"Haha, OK mom. Wait, TAXI!!!"
"Nice sis!"
"Hehe, ako pa!"
"C'mon guys, go in."
"I can't wait to see our old house again.
"
"Wait, taxi, para po. Eto ho yung bayad."
"Ma, what is para?"
"Sis, para means stop. Sabi ni mama, stop the car."
"Ah, OK."
"We're here!"
"Wow, ma, I didn't know we lived in a big house like this!"
"Well, that's just half of it. You haven't been inside yet. Let's go in. And of course, I never put out the key that I use to open the door under the doormat. I guess nobody knew I hid it there."
"What the-- Is this really our house? It looks more of a palace to me!"
"Hehe.
Now, stop talking, go unpack your bags."

"Wendy! Gising na!"
"Ano ba kuya? 10 more minutes... zZZz"
"Wake up, Wendy!"
"I'm up, I'm up!"
Ugh. School time again. I hate waking up early. I'm soooo sleeeppy... zZzZ...
"Wendy! Eat your breakfast!"
"Nah, I think I'll pass breakfast for today. I ate a lot last night."
"OK Wendy. Hurry off and go to school."
"I should be going too mom. I'm applying for a job here in the Philippines."
"OK, good. Hurry off you two. Love you."
"Love you too mom."

[b][AT SCHOOL, 6:30 A.M][/b]
The first day of school. Everything's new. A new school, new teachers, new classmates and a lot more.
Wow, this is a big school.
San di ako malili--
"Oops, sorry for bumping into you. Are you hurt?"
"Nope. Are you?"
"Nope.
"
"Hey, I haven't seen you around this place. You new?"
"Yup.
"
"Well, Hi! I'm Mari.
"
"I'm Wendy. Nice to meet you.
"
"Well, since you're new, I'll give you a tour around here."
"Thanks.
"
"Eto yung cafeteria. Halos lahat ng mga estudyante dito tumatambay. Eto naman yung library, halatang geeks lang mga pumupunta dito.
"
Ganun? Geeks lang? Di naman ako geek, pero mahilig din ako magbasa...
"Eto naman yung mga classroom, teka, ilang taon ka na ba, and what year are you attending?"
"I'm 15, 3rd Year - Newton"
"Really?! Were gonna be classmates!"
"That's great...
"
"This is our classroom, there's your chair. You sit next to me.
And, here are your new classmates."
Everybody seems to be friendly. Everybody's smiling and talking. But, there's one guy that caught my eye.
"Hey Mari, who's that?"
"That's Jeremy, a close friend of mine. Wait, I'll introduce you to him."
"No, no... Please do--"
"Hey Jeremy!"
"Oh, Hey Mari.
"
"This is Wendy. She's new here."
"Hi Wendy. I'm Jeremy.
"
OMG. He's sooo cute. I love his smile... Wait, what am I thinking?
"Hi. I'm Wendy.
"
"Nice to meet you.
"
His eyes, his smile, his hair...
"Um, hello? Wendy? Why are you staring at me like that? Do I have dirt on my face or something?"
"Oh, no... I'm sorry. I need to go. Bye Mari, Bye Jeremy."
"Well, OK Wendz! Just come back here as soon as possible. Classes start at 7!"
"OK!"
What am I feeling? This is weird... I don't get it... Do I--- I like Jeremy? But, but I just met him?! Snap out of it, Wendy!
