Under The Same Sky

Pastries

My parents was enjoying the province, I sometimes think they don't wanna comeback in manila. That's cruel, I lived with those skyscrapers and bustling cities all of my life. I can't keep up with them if they ever decided to stay here

I don't know why I'm overthinking this, I feel like it's impossible and possible at the same time. That's more frustrating!! My grandparents and more relatives are trying to promote living here, they even suggested that I can go in Ilo-Ilo to continue my studies

Heck no, I love this place but I can't stay here! My friends are in manila, my life is in manila. But if they really want to stay here it's fine with me, basta at sila lang. Hindi ako sasama, I'll go home and continue my studies in manila like the way I planned

After that beach get away with the Javiers my relationship with Devin hasn't gone any better. No improvement. He's always there to mock me, prove a point to me, show his stupid face with his stupid smirk to me!

Today I plan on having a time for my self. Self time = Books and bed. I don't wanna get up and socialize, or do something physical. I am too tired

Sanay akong tatlo lang kami sa bahay, most of the time wala pa sila. I go to school at a certain time, I socialize to people in a limited time. But here? Siyempre hindi, first of course they are having a long celebration and reunion so basically this house is packed.

At galing din ako sa beach getaway nila, 2 days din akong nakisama sa mga taong hindi ko naman ganon ka sundo. Tinatawag ako sa baba, ewan ko kung para saan pero nag sinungaling akong masakit ang katawan ko. Aangal pa sana si mama pero hindi siya hinayaan ni papa, masyado raw na bigla ang katawan ko at hayaan na lang muna akong mag pahinga.

Papa understands me well, mama doesn't. She misunderstoods me most of the time. My clothes, music, shoes, books, college program , and actually everything. I think it's because I'm the only child, if I have a sibling would that make a big difference? Can I be free from her judgements? Would her attention be occupied by my sibling?

If yes, I wish I have a sibling. But since I don't have, I got to live this life like how she wants it to be. Probably push some of my ideas too? But not too much of course, as if she would let that happen.

I was reading and enjoyingy time alone while listening to some music, when my attention got caught by the familiar cars on the main road. I immediately closed my windows and locked the door, they will probably go upstair to check on me.

And Devin! He is an absolute asshole! I think he likes it when I get pissed, he looks so happy when I'm mad. He would probably do that today, so it's better safe than sorry.

And I'm not wrong, I heard steps and suddenly a knock on my door. Damn it, I feel so nervous.

"I know you're not asleep"

A deep voice from the outside said, dang! What does he wants now? He knocked again before speaking "I know you're not asleep, I just wanna know if you're really feeling sick?"

This asshole! He thinks I'm lying?! Well I am yes! but how dare he? Bakit niya kinikwestyon? Lalo na at hindi naman kami ganoon kaclose, ano naman sa kanya 'yon?

Too much of my anger consume me, I opened the door with my eyes sharp as a knife. "How dare you!" I said it with so much wrath but in low tone
