" Good morning" I said as I reach for my sit to take my breakfast

"Morning sweety how's your sleep?" my mom as she put some bacon in my plate
Bihis na sya so ready for work

"Ok lang po mommy"

"well mauuna na kami ng daddy mo maaga ang meeting ng board your ate is still sleeping please remind yaya Sil to wake her up para makakain" she said after drinking water habang nauna ng lumabas si daddy

" Bye sweety I'll go ahead" she added then kissed my cheeks I just waved my hand and continue on eating
Ng matapos ako ay kinausap ko na din Si yaya

"Ya please pakigising po kay ate Sally may klase pa po sya mamayang hapon mauuna na po ako baka ma late eh"

I hurriedly ask my driver to drive me to my school I am a grade 11 student

this is my first year in Senior high school so my dad is expecting more for my grades
I admit it gives pressure

but I don't have any other choice I want him to see my achievements my dad seems not so fond of me that's why I need to reach for more

I have my older sister ate Sally aside from dad, my sister hates me too

I don't know what's wrong with me that everyone aside from my mother in our home hates me even my lolo and lola

"Ma'am nandito na po tayo" manong Bert said

"Thank you manong" I said as I get out from the car

Hinawi ko ang nakasagabal na buhok sa noo habang naglalakad sa lobby my classroom is in the 2nd floor I'm taking TVL-Cookery hanggang dalawang palapag lang ang building namin nasa ikalawa ang rooms ng grade11 while the grade12 students is on the first floor

" Shineeeeeeee dearrrr!!!" Napalingon ako sa tumawag sakin it was Asha my bestfriend

"Himala at ang aga mo Asha" I said

medyo natatawa usually kasi ay late sya kong dumating she just rolled her eyes at inakbayan ako habang naglalakad kami papasok ng classroom

" Kuya Haze just arrived last night I'm already sleeping kaya hindi ako nainform my goshh sya yung gumising sakin girl"
She said while acting pabebe

"So? Big deal na yan?" I asked

"Gaga ka! Hindi mo alam kung pano manggising yun! Kapag sinabi nyang bubuhusan ka nya ng tubig gagawin nya talaga!" Nakanguso nyang sabi

"Well mabuti naman kung ganun"

I said while putting my bag on my desk

"What?! Anong klaseng best friend ka!" Kunyare galit nyang sabi

" your kuya is a big help para naman palagi kang maagang gumising no!"

I said and laughed at her she just glared at me

" by the way mom invited you to our party tomorrow it's a small celebration dahil umuwi na si kuya"

Asha said while looking herself at the mirror we still have time to chitchat since wala pa ang teacher

"Hmm ok I'm also curious about your brother hindi ko pa sya nakikita eh" I replied

"Duh of course you wouldn't! Kakauwi ngalang diba? But syempre makikita mo na din naman sya bukas"

she said while grinning I don't know but there's something in her smile

"What's that look huh?" Nakataas ng kilay kong tanong sa kanya

" ano ka ba! I'm just wondering mukhang bagay kayo ni kuya haha" she said jokingly

"Shut up I'm not interested" sabi ko

" well gwapo si kuya hindi kana lugi grade 12 na sya and he's taking HUMSS so dito nya tataposin ang last year nya kaya palagi kayong magkikita girl" pagpapatuloy nya pa

" asa ka pa ang layo ng building natin sa HUMSS " I said while reviewing some notes baka magpa surprise quiz ang proof mamaya

" that's not a problem sabay nga kami kaninang pumasok eh " dagdag pa nito

" Hmm ba't walang nababalitang may new student sa HUMSS?" I asked her

Usually kasi ay madaling kumalat kapag may bagong transfer student specially from our department kadalasan sa Cookery department ay mga babae so ang balitang may lalaking transferee sa kabilang department ay kakalat talaga

"Biglaan ang pagdating ni kuya I don't know kung kaylan pang sya eninroll ni mommy basta ang importante nagstart na sya ngayong araw" mahabang paliwanag nito binaba ko nalang ang binabasa kong notes dahil sa kadaldalan nya

May idadagdag pa sana syang topic mabuti nalang at dumating na ang hinhintay ko

"Shhhhh miss Ancho is here" sabi ko

Madali nya namang tinago ang mga gamit nya at tumayo na din para sa morning prayer

After that we discussed about that major subject masyado kaming tutok sa klase hindi nakapagdaldal ang katabi ko

malapit na ang exam so I really need to study well I'm aiming for higher grades this time maybe my dad will be proud na

" wew natapos din another stressful day!" Asha said habang papunta na kaming parking lot

It's time to go home madaling madaling natapos ang klase at ubos na din ang lakas namin para magshopping pa ngayong hapon

Hindi ko napagtuunan ng pansin ang sinasabi ni Asha dahil hinahalongkat ko sa bag ang cellphone ko

"Oh? What's wrong?" She asked when she noticed what I'm doing

Tumigil muna ako sa ginagawa at tinignan sya

"I think I forgot my phone nasa desk ko pa siguro paparating naman na ang sundo mo diba?" Sabi ko sa kanya

Tumingin muna sya sa relo nya at binalik ang tingin sakin

"I'm actually waiting for kuya mom said na sabay na kaming umuwi" napatango nalang ako sa sinabi nya

"You should wait here then mukhang wala pa ang kuya mo babalik lang akong room kukunin ko lang yung phone ko" I said to her at umalis na din

Konteng estudyante nalang ang nandun sa TVL building na naglalakad
palapit na ako sa classroom kaya kinuha ko muna ang panyo sa bag at marahang pinahid sa pawisang noo ko it passed 5 pm papalubog na ang araw kaya minadali ko ang pagpasok sa classroom para hanapin ang phone ko

Agad ko din naman itong nakuha at lumabas din agad.

Nagmamadali akong maglakad papuntang parking lot maybe manong Bert is already there

Nakalayo na ako sa building namin when I saw ate Sally with a guy magkasabay silang naglalakad papunta na din sigurong parking lot

Ate Sally is from HUMSS department grade12 na sya kaya ganun din siguro ang kasama nyang lalaki

I was thinking kung magpapatuloy ba akong maglakad at baka makasabay ko sila
Ayaw na ayaw pa naman ni ate ang lumalapit ako sa kanya in public places

I saw them talking to each other mukhang nagmamadali ang lalaki at pilit namang humahabol maglakad ni ate Sally dito

Masyadong busy sa pagpapapansin si ate kaya tumakbo nalang ako para mauna akong dumaan sa kanilang dalawa nakita ko pang napatingin silang dalawa sakin but I don't have a choice hindi naman siguro magagalit si ate!

"Oh? Bat ka tumatakbo?" Asha said when she noticed me

"Ahm wala lang I j-just thought baka kanina pa nandito si manong Bert" palusot ko sa kanya

"Ah so nakuha mo yung phone mo?" Tanong nalang nito

"Oo, wala pa ang kuya mo?" I asked her when I saw there car near us

"Yup gosh ang tagal naman kasi nun! Gutom na ako eh!" Pagmamaktol pa nya

Tinawanan ko nalang sya at hinintay ang sundo ko

We're both standing near there car when my driver arrived

"Mauuna na ako girl see you tomorrow!" I said as I wave my goodbye to her

" ok see you!" She reply

Binuksan na ni manong Bert ang pinto ng kotse at pumasok na ako napatingin ako sa labas when I saw ate Sally and that guy kaharap nila si Asha na may naiiritang mukha

"They know each other?" I ask myself

"Ano po yun ma'am?" I heard manong Bert's saying nakapasok na pala sya at sinisimulan ng paandarin ang kotse

"Wala po hehe" sabi ko nalang

medyo nakalayo na kami when I take a glance at them again sumakay na din ng kotse si Asha together with the guy at naiwang mag isa si Ate Sally doon

May sariling sundo din si ate kaya Hindi kami nagsasabay pumasok at umuwi she doesn't want anyone would know na magkapatid kami

Though some knows it already pero kadalasan ay walng ideya

"Wait kuya ba ni Asha yun?" I talked to myself

Magkasabay silang sumakay ng kotse that means it's her brother wala namang ibang sasabay sa kanya kundi ang kuya nya will whatever

Napailing nalang ako mukhang gusto pa ata ni ate ang lalaking yun hindi na masama sa tingin ko may itsura naman eh

"Thank you manong" sabi ko ng makababa na ako sa kotse ngumiti lang si manong at umalis na din ako

Nahiga ako agad pagdating sa sariling kwarto wala naman akong ginawa kanina kundi umupo pero parang pagod na pagod ang utak ko

Nagpahinga muna ako at bumaba din matapos makapagbihis

" ano pong meryenda ya?" I asked Yaya Sil naghuhugas sya ng plato habang nakatayo ako sa gilid nya

"Nanggugulat ka nanaman bata ka!" Bakas sa mukha nya ang gulat kaya natawa ako

"Sorry ya" I said as I helped her wash the plates

"Naku ano ka ba naman ako na dito baka mabasa ka pa!" She said bago pinalo ang kamay ko

"Ay grabe sya tinutulungan na nga eh" natatawa kong sabi napatawa na din ito

" tignan mo nalang dyan nag bake ako ng brownies kanina paborito mo yun diba"
Ang laki agad ng ngiti ko kaya hindi na ako nag abalang paki alaman ang ginagawa ni yaa at kumain nalang masayado akong masayang kumain when ate Sally enters the kitchen

Tahimik lang sya habang binubuksan ang ref.

Hindi ko nalang pinansin at nagpatuloy sa pagkain

Napatingin ako aa kanya when she sat beside me

"You're friend with Anastasia right?" She said while sipping a cup of Orange juice

"Yes ate why?" I asked her agad tinaasan nya ajo ng kilay sa naging reaksyon ko knowing her tsk

"Well I like her brother" sabi niya sakin masama kong tinignan ang pagkain sa harap ko bago sya binalingan ng tingin

"So? Anong konek? Please ate if you like her brother then wala ng paki si Asha dun" matigas kong sabi dito

"C'mon lilsis! I'm your sister you should help me! Kapatid ni Asha si Haze and I want her to help me para mapalapit kami ng kuya nya" she said seriously

I roll my eyes as I heard her reason

"Ate listen she won't help you ok? I mean she loves her brother and I think she's planning to matchmake her brother to someone" I said casually

I remember Asha saying she wants me for her brother though wala sa isipan ko ang bagay na yun I just don't want my sister to be near my best friend

"What?! No way! That brat! Parehas talaga kayo same feathers always flock together!" She said at padabog na umalis sa kusina

Pinagkibit balikat ko nalang yun at kumain ulit I saw un my peripheral version na napapailing na naghuhugas si Yaya Sil kaya natawa nalang ako

Ate Sally is a bitch for sure she's planning something towards me lalo na at tinanggihan ko ang paghingi nya ng tulong
