Answer

The clock striked at 8:00 AM and the continuous sound from my alarm made me open my eyes immediately. I was greeted with a bright skies and soft rays of morning sunlight passing through my window.

I was yawning while stretching my body when my phone beeped under my pillow.
I sighed and glanced at the morning scenery outside before getting my phone to check the notification.

I saw my reflection on the mirror accross me. My puffy tired face flashed a wide smile when I saw the texter.

From: My Beau

We're here at the covered gym, sa may social hall. Dito na kayo dumiretso. Masyadong mainit sa labas.

Damn, I almost forgot about the game! I immediately typed a response while my wide grin never disappeared.

To: My Beau

Okay! I'll just get ready. See you :*

From: My Beau

Take your time. Bring your friends so you won't get bored. Take care hmm? I love you.

Tila nawalan yata ako nang hininga sa sinabi niya. I tried really hard to surpass my squeal but I badly failed! Nag reply ako sa kaniya at tumalon-talon sa kama habang sumisigaw na parang nanalo sa lotto, walang pakialam sa makakaring.

"Hey! Samahan mo akong manood nang first game nila Brix ngayon! Nakakahiya 'pag ako lang mag-isa ang pupunta eh..." I pouted while combing my shoulder length hair, talking to Rari.

Alam kong kakagising lang niya at galit siguro 'to dahil maaga pa akong nambulabog sa kaniya. Siya ang isasama ko sa basketball game nina Brix. The other girls were busy that's why I didn't bother them about this, kay Rari lang dahil siya lang naman ang available.

I heared her sigh on the other line.

"Fine, ayaw ko sanang makita si Gab dahil hindi kami bati, pero sige. Marupok ako eh. Mamaya makahanap pa nang chix 'yon doon." Humalakhak ako.

"Kabahan kana girl, hindi lang naman ikaw ang tipo niya eh, mamaya baka nando'n din si—"

"Don't even try to mention that bitch's name. Nakakairitang pakinggan. Anyways, maliligo muna ako, magkita nalang tayo sa plaza. Bye!" She ended the call. Napailing-iling na lamang ako at nagsimula nang mag-ayos.

I feel contented seeing my simple look which is a highwaisted maong shorts and an oversized white statement tee inserted inside. I just grabbed my white sneakers and clutch na tamang-tama lang para sa phone at wallet ko, pagkatapos kong i-check ang sarili sa salamin ay agad akong dumiretso sa baba.

I saw my family at the kitchen currently enjoying their breakfast. Tatalikod na sana ako at aalis na nang tawagin ako ni Dad.

"Your birthday is approaching Belle, do you want a big party? Just tell me, I'll gladly make time for it."

Marahas akong napalingon sa kaniya habang nakakunot ang noo. Nakakagulat dahil naalala niya ang kaarawan ko.

But what's the point? Ayaw kong mag celebrate kasama sila. Ayaw kong maging masaya kasama sila dahil unfair iyon para kay Mom.

Mapakla akong tumawa.

"No thanks, Dad. And please don't bother about my party. As if I'll die if I wouldn't celebrate right? In fact wala namang kailangan paghandaan dahil parang patay na din naman ako sa inyo diba?"
