"AARGH! Why?! Why, Ellis?!"

Why is he doing this to me? My gosh! What did I ever do wrong with him?! Hindi ko alam kung nakukulitan na ba siya sa akin or this is just his way of throwing jokes. 

I combed my hair using my hands just as fast as I could before covering my face with both hands. 

Ibinagsak ko uli ang katawan ko pahiga ng kama at hinablot ang unang unan na malapit sa akin bago iyon itinakip sa mukha ko at maghihiyaw. I kicked my feet in the air while still shouting. 

"Ah!" I got shocked when a loud thunder just beamed. Napaupo tuloy ako uli sa kama habang hawak-hawak ko ang dibdib ko. It is pumping so fast again. My heart is beating so fast that my breathing now looks like I was chased by a wild bear. 

I closed my eyes and tried to calm myself down a bit. I need to calm down. I need to calm down… Hoo… 

"Ah!" Just like that, my heart went playing around again. 

With my brows furrowed, I looked at where the sound came from across the room. I heard a loud thud from my room's door. When I got to see my brother, I rolled my eyes at him. What is he doing here?

He was wearing a dark sweater and simple black sweatpants. He is glaring at me with his eyebrows crashing with each other while holding at my door's knob. What's this guy up to? 

"Why are you looking at me like I did something annoying to you?" I raised a brow before crossing my arms above my chest. 

He scoffed. "Because you did," he answered with emphasis. 

I raised my brow at him and glared at his face down to his body back to his face. What?! How?

"It is supposed to be a silent night for me while studying when you start squeaking different kinds of noises and shouting as if you're the only person in this house," Kuya Xylo added as if he can read my mind. 

There, the few moments of me in my room flashed back through my mind. 

Oh… yeah…

Naibalik ko ang tingin ko kay Kuya na hanggang ngayon ay nakakunot pa rin ang noo sa akin. He raised his brow when he noticed that I have been quiet for some time like he was saying that he was right and I just proved it. 

"Aren't you gonna ask why am I screaming?" targeting his conscience that made his brows wrinkle more. 

He prolonged his glare as I fought back. Hindi ko ibababa ang pride ko! Never gonna lose to him again.

He produced a scoff before stepping a little, leaning to the door frame. Kuya crossed his arms over his chest as he crossed his feet, too, and gave me a grin. 

Now, is this right?

"Why, then?" 

"I—" Shit! Napasapo ako sa noo ko sa aking isip. Maling-mali 'to! 

Paano ko sasabihin kay Kuya Xylo ang rason without telling him I am talking to different guys? Baka isumbong niya ako kay Mommy! Malalaman nila ang mga ginagawa ko sa RPW! 

Urgh! Why did I even ask him to ask me why I scream? Hindi ko naalalang hindi makatarungan ang sagot ko! I didn't remember that I shouldn't tell anyone I know! 

It's too late now, Xyra. What will you do? You are so dumb! You just dug your own grave! 

"What now?" I threw my eyes to Kuya Xylo again when I heard him talk. He is really waiting. Of course, he will wait. What are you? You ask him to ask you, dumbass!
