Just Fall (Fall Doulogy #1)

CHAPTER 1

“Your Kuya Damon will take you with him in the reunion he is attending.”

Mom said while we are eating our dinner.

I nod my head.
“Yeah,” matamlay na sagot ko.

Kuya Damon already told me about it yesterday. Para daw makita ko na rin ng personal iyong bagong school ko ngayong senior high school.

I heard Dad sighed. I looked at him pouting. He knows that I don't really want to transfer school. He held my hand and smile.

“Iha, Holy Heart will do you good. I promise,” nakangiting sabi niya.

“Angel, maganda ang quality of teaching ng school na iyon. Besides your Kuya Damon also finished his high school years in there,” Mom said.

I sighed then smiled. Alam ko naman iyon. It's just that...I am a bit worried about the new environment in there. It's really hard to make friends...true friends.

“Anyway, just ask your Kuya to take you to the mall to buy a dress that you are going to use.” Mom said.

I nod my head then smile. Okay...I'll give it a try. Maybe that school isn't so bad after all.

After the dinner, I went into my room. Almost a week na lang ay balik class na ulit ako. I am now in grade 11 and I am taking the General Academic Strand. Our family is involve in business sector but then I badly want to be a teacher. Buti na lang at hindi against sina Mommy at Daddy doon. In fact they are on full support to everything I want to accomplish.

I am the only child in my family. Daddy and Tito Robert, Kuya Damon's father are brothers. Unlike Mom and Dad, Tito Robert and Tita Denise are kind of strict and controlling specially with Kuya Damon. Maybe because Kuya is also their only child. But I'm lucky that mine is not like that...well not as strict and controlling as my Tito and Tita.

The next morning I decided to go to the mall to buy my school supplies. Ngayon na sana ako magpapasama kay Kuya Damon kaso ay hindi siya free ngayon. He has a meeting so ako na lang muna ang pupunta ngayon then maybe tomorrow we can just come back to buy my dress.

After I bought my things, I decided to go around the mall first. I will just text my driver na sunduin na lang ako maya maya. I bought a milktea as I walk around the mall. Sometimes I stop on some boutiques just to enjoy myself.

Nang pumasok ako sa isang store at nakuha ng isang high cut shoes ang atensyon ko. Lumapit ako doon atsaka iyong hinawakan at pinagmasadan ng malapit. Napangiti ako. I really like using shoes like high cuts, tennis, or sneakers. Hindi ako masyadong mahilig mag suot ng mga high heels shoes. Funny as it may seem but I find it uncomfortable.

Naitikom ko ang bibig ng makita ang price tag ng sapatos.

“Good day Ma'am,” bati ng sales lady na lumapit sa akin. “Itatry niyo po ba?”

I looked at her then shook my head smiling.

“No,” I said then put it back as it were before.

I smiled at her before making my way out of the store. I took a one last glance on the shoes. Maybe I can get it some other time.

I actually have money here in my bag and credit cards though those aren't really mine, that was my parents money. At ayoko na gatusin iyon sa mga luho ko lang.

I only used that money for educational and emergency purposes pero sa mga bagay na gusto kong bilhin, I make sure na sa akin mismo galing ang pera na iyon. It's also the reason why I applied for a part time job.

At first Mom and Dad disagreed with me  pero gaya nga ng sabi ko...they always support me into doing anything I want.

Nang makalabas ng store ay chineck ko ang oras. It's already almost six. Kailangan ko nang umuwi, Mom and Dad might be home already.
