#WUM2
I went home the next day, it was noon time. I looked at the mansion for seconds, my heart was twisting in nervous. In this house, here's where I grew up with my adoptive family. Parents are from different races, too. Father's a Filipino. According to them, when Hera turned one-they decided to adopt each year in States where they were living back then and we went to the Philippines for good.
I was completely abandoned when I was one or two, I'm not really sure. My head was aching whenever I think about my background, kaya ayaw kong mag-isip o kahit magtanong tungkol doon. Mas matanda ng tatlong taon at higit pa sa akin iyong mga nauna, si Hera ang kalapit kong edad. They're basically our older sisters and they are all in modeling industry including Hera.
"Wow, you're home!" Shan beamed sarcastically as I went into the house.
She's at the living area with Tyra, fixing a suitcase full of dresses. They both looked surprised. I just nodded with blank expression.
"How's the black sheep?" Tyra asked. "Pinasakit mo na naman ang ulo ng Mommy. Umuwi ka pa."
Tumawa si Shan. "Bakit umuwi ka pa? Parang wala ka namang magandang dulot sa bahay na 'to. Aren't you ashamed?"
"She has a thick face, don't even ask the obvious."
I shrugged smugly and went upstairs without a word for them. I didn't really grow with a good relationship with them because they were already bullies since then, they aren't fond of me — they hate my presence anywhere except Hera. It's mutual, anyway.
Honestly, I don't really wanna be here. My adoptive parents shouldn't have adopted me, I don't know. I got confused when I left last week and think about our household that seemed wrong. It made me realize like we're some kind of things in this family, Mommy's toys to be exact.
I stayed in my room to think about the lines to say when Mommy finally hears about my arrival. I sighed and took my cellphone.
Damon: Hey! Where's Sorcha?
Lorelei: Hindi ko alam
Bowen: Baka umuwi.
Damon: Wala nga raw kila Riva. Daisy's inviting her again.
Bowen: Matik na yun
Lorelei: Ikaw, Dame? May gig din?
Damon: Oo
Lorelei: Nice! Let's go!
Riva: Maaga umalis yun kanina, may pupuntahan daw.
Bowen: Yari Dame, may dini-date na yata ang inaasahan mo hahaha
Damon: Asa. Walang amor sa mga lalaki 'yun.
Napaismid ako at in-exit ang group chat.
I've been staying over Riva's pad for a week now. I left home because Mommy's been pushing me to work as a model while studying, I didn't like that. Simula nang maging teenager ako, iyon na ang parati niyang tinutulak sa aking gawin kagaya nila Hera at ng iba pang kapatid. Ako lang ang umayaw at patuloy na umaayaw roon kaya tinawag nila akong rebelde at black sheep na ampon lalo noong lumayas ako.
Hera's helping me, she's secretly giving me allowance while I'm studying because Mommy stopped supporting me. It was a good thing that my whole school year's already paid. Kung hindi, baka hindi na rin ako pag-aaralin.
That's what I get for leaving the house. Isang linggo pa lang naman pero alam kong mas mahihirapan pa ako sa susunod kung hindi magpapakita sa bahay.
I opened my Instagram to check the notification.
