Chapter 2: What went wrong?

" Bakit ka naghahanap ng condo? " Gianna ask. She's my best friend. Nandito ako sa bahay nila. I spend the weekend here. Masyado akong nasosuffocate sa bahay.

I tried my best to avoid her. I'm still trying my best to move on.

" Ayoko sa bahay." I said but her eyebrow arch at mukhang hindi siya naniniwalang iyon lang ang rason ko. " Ilang buwan nalang at 18 na ako. I'm in the legal age. I want to be independent." I added. Walang alam si Gianna sa nangyayari sa buhay ko. She's not asking me din naman to open up dahil nirerespeto namin ang privacy ng isa't-isa.

" May problema ka ba?" She ask. I shake my head and smile at her. Alam kong may mga problema din siyang kinakaharap kaya ayoko ng dumagdag pa. And besides, kaya ko pa naman ang sarili ko. Kaya ko pa lahat.

I decided to go home dahil tumawag si Mommy and I can't resist her. She's the only woman in my life now. Pagpasok ko palang sa living room ay nakita ko na agad si Mommy. I greeted her and kiss her cheek.

" How are you, my baby? How's your friend?" She ask. She knew I have a friend pero hindi niya pa ito nakikilala.

" She's good Mommy. You? How are you?" My Mom is a famous chef and owns a numerous restaurant pero nagkakaroon parin siya ng time saakin unlike Dad. Well ano pa nga ba ang aasahan ko sakanya.

" Hi Creyven. " Masayang bati ni Mommy kay Creyven nang makitang papasok ito. Mukhang may pinuntahan siya. He's 14. " Kumusta lakad mo? Have you eaten?" Mom ask but he only bowed his head and walk upstairs. I rolled my eyes. Attitude.

" How dare him treating you like that." I utter in irritation.

Mommy caress my hand.." Let him be. You know he's introvert. Intindihin mo nalang ang kapatid mo." Mom say, as always. Minsan sa sobrang bait ni Mommy, tinitake advantage na 'yon ng iba lalo na si Dad.

Nagpaalam muna ako ka Mommy na aakyat lang ako sa taas.

" Ash..." Nasa lobby palang ako papunta sa kwarto ko nang marinig kong tinawag niya ako. I close my eyes and heaved a sighed.

" Saan ka galing? Kumain kana ba?" Her voice is very soothing. I decided not to look at her before answering her.

" My friend's house. Yes, kumain na ako. " I only said at tuluyan ng naglakad papunta sa kwarto ko. Medyo malayo pa dahil ang laki nitong bahay at ang daming pasikot-sikot.

I don't want to have a conversation with her. I'm setting boundaries for us. It was for the best. Kasal na siya. She's married with my brother. Sabihin man nating arrange marriage lang ang lahat pero kasal parin sila.

" May binubully na naman si Madrigal." Nilingon ko kung saan nakatingin ang mga kablockmates ko at nakita kong may binubully na naman ang grupo nila. I shake my head dahil wala na siyang ginawang tama. Hindi ko naman siya kilala and the only thing I knew about him is he's Madrigal. I don't know if it's his name or surname.

" Huwag na nating pansinin." Sancha said. Niyaya nila akong kumain dito sa Canteen at minsan ay hindi nagtutugma ang lunch break namin ni Gianna kaya sila ang kasabayan ko. I'm one step ahead kay Gianna kaya minsan lang kami nagkakasabay kumain dito sa Main Canteen.

" Oh my gosh my crushiecake!" Tumitiling sabi ni Sancha nang makita si Kadynce at ang pinsan nitong si Thayer.

They are very famous inside the campus. They excelled in everything. I also admire Kadynce. Aside from her physical appearance, she's smart and talented. Matangkad din ito at medyo singkit ang mata lalo na kapag ngumingiti na siya. She's approachable than her cousin, Thayer pero marami paring nagkakagusto kay Thayer kahit sobrang cold niya.
