Art School for the Elite

Two

Chapter 2

"What the heck are you doing?" Sigaw ko sa isang maid namin. She then apologized over and over again. "Are you dumb?"

"It's seven in the morning, and init na agad ng ulo mo." Napatingin ako sa nagsalita. It's Kuya Vance na nakasandal sa may pinto at hindi ko napansin kung kanina pa siya nandoon o kararating lang.

We're currently here in our dining room. Kakain na sana ako pero gosh, our maid is so stupid.

"Kuya, I told her last week na I'm on a diet and look at what she served me. She cooked spaghetti bolognese!" Naiirita kong pag-e-explain. "And also, who eats pasta for breakfast?"

Sino bang nag-hire dito sa maid na 'to? Hindi siya qualified for me pero nakakapagtaka kung bakit siya nandidito. First time ko nga lang din siyang makita.

Naglakad papalapit sa amin si Kuya. He looked and smiled at the maid na para bang nagsasabing ako na ang bahala dito.

"What do you want to eat?" He asked.

Nag-isip ako. Ano nga ba? Actually, I don't have any idea basta huwag lang pasta. Kairita.

I shrugged. Kasi hindi ko rin talaga alam.

"Wait for me here in the dining room." He said with a smile as he puts on his apron and goes to the kitchen. I followed what he said and waited. I had a quick scroll through my social media para na rin maging pampalipas oras.

Maya-maya lang ay dumating na si Kuya Vance while holding two plates. He made an egg and avocado toast for us two.

Hindi na ako nagsalita at agad kumain ng breakfast. I really love it when Kuya's the one who makes food for me. It feels warm inside. I don't know. Maybe it's because iba talaga ang pakiramdam kapag may taong nandyan at nag-aalaga sa'kin.

Habang kumakain kaming dalawa ay nagtanong siya. "Do you have any plans today? Sama ka sa akin if wala."

Napaisip naman ako kung saan siya pupunta. I don't think na may activity siya for today. Ang alam ko kasi ay balak niya lang magpahinga this weekend. "Where?"

"To an art exhibit." He simply answered.

"Gagawin mo doon? I-inspire mo ko para pumasok sa Art School for the Elite?" Mataray kong tanong. "No, thanks."

It's been two days since we last talked about the letter from ASE. He hasn't brought it up since then.

"Sira. Art exhibit ni Selena." Kuya Vance replied while eating his sandwich. "It's the least I can do for her."

Oo nga pala. I received an invitation pala last week. I totally forgot about it.

Selena is the president of Kuya Vance's Manila fan club. Also, she's one of the staff of the agency where Kuya Vance is working for. Siya ang pinaka-trusted person ni Kuya when it comes to work. Napaka-organized niya kasi and ang galing niyang mag-manage. Hindi ko nga alam kung bakit napaka-effort ni Selena dito kay Kuya. Sabagay, I will never understand what it's like to be a fangirl.
