Get to Know

"Number one? Faster please"

Ugh I want to exchange seats with my seatmate but she looks intimidating. I sighed. You got this, Tine!

Deep breathes. Breathe in...breathe out.

I stood up and went in front already. I have stage frights. Omg I think I'm gonna cry :(

I'm in the front already. I sighed. I forced myself to smile and spoke. "H-hi! I honestly have a stage fright.. S-sorry.. Uh anyways, my name is Valentina Martinez. Call me Tine"

When I finished introducing myself, I went back to my seat. A lot of them entertained me. They said 'nice to meet you' and 'looking forward to be friends with you'. Sweet! I'm not that friendly but I can try being friends with them.

The next one after me is the boy our professor is with a while ago. "I'm Zach" he said.

What... That's it? The others made a speech about themselves while Zach literally said just his name.

After our first class, I immediately went out of the room. I told Claire to go out with me since we knew each other already. I'll introduce her to Mavis! For sure, they'll get closer in no time.

I texted Mavis to meet me in the garden of our school after her class.

After 10 minutes, I saw her walking towards us while waving her hand. I shook my head. Childish...

She greeted me with a smile and hugged me. "Hi bub! How's class?"

"Hmm good.. How about yours?"

"Same! Hehehe" She looked beside me. She got curious so she asked me. "Tine, who's her?" she whispered.

"Oh.. Her name is Claire, my classmate. Claire meet Mavis, my bestfriend"

They greeted each other. On the first day, they will be shy like now but after weeks or days I think they will be much closer than me.

Since it's already break time, I invited my two girls to eat outside. Our break time is almost an hour. We went to a close mall here in school.

The three of us are still deciding where to eat. The two of them almost fought! Claire want to eat at Jollibee while Mavis want to eat at McDonald's.

I get back when I said they'll be besties.

I got irritate so I shouted to stop them. They'll end up fighting here! The both of them is competitive. We decided to go to Chow King to be fair.

I'll expect that we'll be late in our next class.

I stayed in our table while they are ordering. I'm too lazy to stand up. We almost stood up outside for hours!

Minutes have passed, they're already here. Yay! Time to eat!

We started eating. I told them to hurry up so we can catch up in our next class. We didn't want to be late, it is said that our next subject teacher is terror!

We just talked about stuffs while eating.

When we finished eating we went straight back at the school. Good thing when we entered the room, our professor is still not here. Phew! My hands were shaking before I entered the room, I also prepared a speech of what I am going to say to our professor. Claire almost peed in her pants! Haha!

Mavis bid us her goodbye since she also have class. It's a pity that Mavis isn't our classmate.

In a blink of an eye, the professor is already here. She looks intimidating! She wrote something on the black board.

Ms. Santos

She explained that our first subject teacher is just a substitute. Ms. Santos said that they exchanged schedule because she has something important to do. Ms. Santos is our homeroom teacher. Wow Amazing! I didn't expect this at all.

Ms. Santos didn't let us introduce ourselves in front, unlike the professor earlier. She just called our names one by one to be familiarized with our faces. It's like an attendance.

It's our first day yet Ms. Santos gave us already a research. She also gave the pages that we are going to read. She recommended the 'advance reading' strategy. So that we'll already know what is she going to teach beforehand. She said, she doesn't want anyone not participating in her class.

They day went by so fast, it's already time to go home!

"Are we going straight home or go at the mall?" Mavis asked.

"Let's go Tine! We're going to celebrate our first day of friendship. Yay!" Claire added. I thought Claire was quiet but her voice is too loud! Expect that I'm going to be deaf before I even finish this school year! Joke! But seriously did the both of them swallow a microphone?

I just nodded in agreement. We bought cake, milk tea, and chips. Claire's treat! We went to my house after.

When we entered the house, they roamed around. Since it's Claire's first time here. Mavis went straight to the living room and lay down on the sofa. Wow sitting pretty! Is this her house? Mavis opened the television and put it in the Netflix.

I changed into my everyday outfit in the house. Mavis and Claire are still wearing the clothes they used earlier at the school since they didn't bought extra clothes. I prepared the foods in the living room and looked for something to watch.

I chose Five Feet Apart. We cried, laughed, and went crazy over the movie. After watching the movie, the thought of entering in a relationship makes me scared.

My phone vibrated so I checked it out.

Mavis Aragon invited you to a group chat with Monica Claire Ramos.

I accepted the invitation.

They changed the theme and chat color in the group chat. Of course we haven't talked there since we are together here. Duh my house isn't that big to be lost.

Claire prepared the cake. It is written in the cake "Happy First Day of Friendship" Corny! Mavis was the one who asked the seller to write that. The seller literally laughed at us and wished us a happy and stronger friendship.

Claire spoke with her very long speech. "So um nice meeting you girls! Mark your calendars, June 18 our first day as bestfriends. Or should I say trio? Omg Hahahaha. I hope our friendship will last forever! Love you both! Cheers to many months and years of friendship!"

I lighted the candle and we blew it together at once. We took some pictures and videos for memories! After that we started eating, yay! Good bye diet! Diabetes here we come! Joke!

They went home already since it's already late. I messaged them to be safe. Mavis sent some of our pictures earlier. We look so cute!

I'm still full so I decided not to eat dinner. I also started my research so I can finish it early. After that I prepared in going to sleep. I'm glad I have those two by my side. I can say best day ever!!
