"THIS IS ME"

PART 1 BACK HOME

"Dont worry as long as nandito ako your not alone anymore but promise me that-"

kringgg....kringgggg...

I woke up from the sound of my alarm its now 4:50am.

"Arggghhh!!! my sister must have altered my alarm clock yesterday, must be one of her heist to mess with me" I muttered to myself.

I tried to go back to sleep but my eyes would just not seem to close, kahit anong gawin ko maybe because of that wierd dream I had earlier.

And dahil I dont think I can fall asleep anytime soon. I kept myself busy by scrolling on facebook for a couple of hours, Just waiting for the sun to rise. as I was scrolling I stumbled upon a music video by some guy named "MYSTERY" which was a prettyshaby name for me. hindi ko alam kong bakit but I found myself clicking one of his video.

I think he sang "prettiest friend" by I dont remember the original artist. As I was indulge by the music thats been playing on my phone. I soon realised that its already 6:00.

7:30am pa naman ang pasok ko so theirs a lot of time to prepare.

I got up and started heading to the bathroom, brushed my teeth and took a bath. as I got out of the bathroom I stared at my uniform hanging on my cabinet that has a maroon skirt,a blouse that has maroon stripes in the neckline and with a necktie that has a seal of my school.

"I still cant believe im going to be a senior highschool student this year, time sure flies by so fast huh" I thougth as I escorted myself down the stairs.

as got down I was greated by my mother "Good moring Athea how was your sleep last night?"

As usual my mom is so energetic even in the moring.

"I had a nice sleep thanks for asking MA" I replied in a lazingly tone.

"Did you like my surpries for you?"my monsterous of a sister asked.

"well thanks to you I need to buy a new alarm clock"I sarcasticly replied.
my sister just smirked at me then continued eating.

"so today is your first day at school right? why dont you let your sister tour you around school?"mom said while her gaze on me.

"its ok mom I've been fine by myself in London before, so I can also take care of myself in this new environment" I replied.

as you may have already deduced I originally stayed at london for the past 16 years of my life due to my father being a business man he had to fly over seas to meet clients thats why they desided that my dad would take me to london so he can watch me as I growup.

he said I dont really have a say in that desistion, dahil baby palang ako non so I can't protest.

"-as I was saying-"my mom pulled me out of my daydreaming.

"Athy I know you've been in your fathers care for so long but I hope starting today you would open up to us. can you?"my mom requested.

I know that she longed the presence of her other daughter. Who could blame her? not seeing me for 15 years.Though she did try to connect with me despite her being absent physically. She would always greet me on my birthdays and some special occasions such as school inductions and other schools achievements. But despite her efforts I couldn't see myself completely warming up to her. Maybe that's the reason why me and my sister has some bad blood. She gets to experience the warmth of a mother's hug while I don't.

"sure" I replied shortly.

After a short while we were interrupted when "ma'am handa ng po ang sasakyan"sabi ni manong arnold.

"Ohh my! its already 7am. Time so  flies by so fast when you're having fun. you guys better get going"mom said as she kissed Loraine and me on our chicks, Which I was still not used to by the way.
