"Ate goodmorning, si Mama and Eunice oh napatawag".

Naalimputangan ako sa kapatid kong dinapaan ako sa tyan. Axel's holding a phone in his hand at sa likod neto si Isabella na nakangiti sa amin.

I wiped the drool on my face and finger comb my hair backward tsaka naupo sa gilid ng kama. I took the phone kay Axel at agad na tumambad sakin ang mukha ng kapatid ko.

"Ate!" Eunice shouted on the other line and her little round face filled the screen na kulang nalang ay pumasok at iluwa siya neto.

My head is still throbbing but seeing our bunso smiling is enough to lift my mood for the whole day. "Kamusta yung baby? Masakit parin ba mag wiwi yung baby namin?"

My three years old sister shook her head no with her lips pouting. Sumulpot si nanay sa screen at narinig kong nagalit si Eunice sa gilid. Kahit hindi pa talaga makasalita ng derecho yun ay talagang grabe na ito sa bunganga.

"Eunice mamaya kana, ako muna". Sabi niya dito. "Anak kamusta ka?"

"Ayos naman ho mama. Medyo busy lang po sa school. Kayo ho diyan?"

"Eto, nakahinga na rin ng maluwag dahil ayos na tong si Eunice. UTI nga yung diagnosis sa kanya ng doctor matapos lumabas yung urinalysis results niya".

I smiled a little. "Pakibawasan na po ng pag bibigay ng soft drinks sa kanya nay. Tataas din yang acid niya sige hu kayo".

"Juskong bata ka wag naman sana". She exclaimed that's made me laugh a little. We talked for almost half an hour and after that I decided to end the call na kasi nga may pasok ako right now.

I was already brushing my teeth when I saw a white envelope sa taas ng desk ko and that's when I remembered na I need to clarify something regarding sa scholarship ko kay miss Evans.

I put it inside my bag and went straight to her office the moment that I've arrived in the university. May thirty minutes pa ako before the class starts which is under kay miss Evans lang din naman.

I knocked on the door thrice and a woman's voice telling me to come in echoed inside, it was her secretary Amelia.

"Hello, goodmorning, yes?"

"Hi goodmorning, I just have something to clarify with the president, if may I".

"Just a second". She went straight to her desk at kinuha ang telepono na nakapatong sa taas neto.

I waited for several seconds bago ako neto binalikan. "Sorry but the president declined to address concerns right now".

Dahan dahang napatango ang ulo ko at nagpasalamat bago dumerecho sa classroom.

Nadatnan kong naka yuko si Clyde sa desk neto with Andrea reading a novel besides her.

"Why ganyan na naman face mo?" Clyde lift her face at humarap sa akin.

"Same problem Clyde, hindi parin naaayos". I've told them about it nong Saturday while we're out on the club.

I can't help it but open the shit out about my problems and feelings whenever I'm drinking. That's why iniiwasan ko talaga uminom hanggang sa makakaya ko.

Napa upo kami ng tuwid when the door busted open and instead of a lean, smooth legs ang makita ko, the person's wearing a slocks, partnered with a blue long sleeves that he tucked in.

"Goodmorning class! Oh ano, wag kayong ma-dissapoint na hindi si miss Evans magtuturo sa inyo ngayon". Mr. Sanchez said nang makita niya ang mga mukha ng lalaki kong blockmates na nakasimangot.
