Chasing Our Dreams

chapter 3

"CASSANDRA FLEUR GONZAGA IF YOU DON'T WAKE UP RIGHT NOW I'LL DRAG YOU DOWN THE STAIRS!" narinig kong sigaw ni Kuya kaya napaupo ako bigla.

Oh my god! Pinaglihi ba tong si Kuya sa megaphone? His voice is so loud jesus christ.

Once I had processed things I saw him laughing at me while pointing his finger at my face which made me glare at him while pouting.

"Pinaglihi ka ba sa megaphone?" tanong ko sakanya once he had stopped laughing. "Ang lakas ng boses mo eh. Rinig ata hanggang kabilang subdivision".

"Oo na malakas na boses ko. Mag ayos ka na since you have school today" sabi ni Kuya sakin tsaka lumabas ng kwarto.

Gosh I really wanna sleep in but that ain't happening. Jesus Christ I really dislike waking up in the morning.

I stood up from my sitting position awhile ago and started stretching my limbs for the day. I started getting my ironed uniform which consists of a white blouse, a really deep blue green skirt of an acceptable size, a blazer that's the same color as the skirt and a black necktie that has the logo of the school on it then placed it on the bed along with my socks and black shoes on the floor and started showering.

After showering I quickly wore my uniform and tied my necktie and started working on my makeup which isn't really much, but it's alright. I added some powder and a little blush on my face and cheeks. I also used a peripera liptint for my lips. I curled my lashes and added some mascara and wore my shoes and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Good morning ate!" nakangiting bati sakin ng nakababata kong kapatid which warmed my heart.

"Good morning baby, are you ready for daycare?" tanong ko dito tsaka umupo sa spot ko sa dining table.

She happily nodded and started eating her minnie mouse shaped pancakes. That mouse, god do I hate it. I know it's just a phase and I gotta be honest it was honestly cute before but now it makes me pissed since she wants it every single minute when she sees her iPad or something that can be connected to the wifi that has a screen.

"Good morning Cassandra" bati sakin ni Dad without looking up from the piece of paper he's holding.

"Hello dad" bati ko dito tsaka nag simulang kumain ng pancakes. "Si kuya? I thought he was downstairs already".

"Ah your brother is making some waffles for his breakfast" sabi sakin ni Tita Rhea kaya tumango nalang ako.

Nang natapos na ako kumain ay sinimulan ko ng inumin yung hot chocolate ko and Eya would occasionally drink from my mug. After a few minutes I saw kuya go to his usual spot.

"Good morning Cass, Good morning Eya" bati samin ni Kuya tsaka umupo at nagsimulang kumain.

"Good morning Kuya" bati namin sakanya habang nakangiti.

Matapos non ay umakyat na ako para kunin yung bag namin ni Eya sa taas dahil aalis na kami pagkatapos ni Kuya uminom ng coffee.

"Ate Jen" tawag ko sa yaya ni Eya dahil may ihahabilin ako.

"ano po yon ma'am?" tanong sakin ni Ate Jen kaya kumunot ang noo ko.

"Ate Jen don't call me ma'am, just call me cassie or cass" sabi ko sa kanya habang nakanguso. "Ang tagal mo na samin pero you still call me ma'am. Nakakatampo ka ate".

"Sorry Cass" sabi nya sakin.

"Since you'll go with Eya sa daycare, I already packed food. All of them are healthy foods for the both of you. As much as possible wag kayo bumili ng soft drinks or chips" bilin ko sa kanya. "Text me or kuya kung maaga kayo uuwi para masabi namin kay Kuya Paul na sunduin kayo if ever na hindi namin kayo makakasabay".
