Miracle Katherine’s Point of View
       
       
      
It’s six o’clock in the morning right now at nandito pa rin ako sa higaan ‘ko at nakaupo. I’m thinking if I should really go with my brother today. Balak kasi nyang umalis, gagala raw kaming dalawa. Kaso hindi pa ako nakakapag-review ng maayos dahil galing kami sa party ng school kagabi.

After I had an interaction with that guy, what’s his name again? Kane? I think it is. Matapos ‘ko syang iwan doon sa likod ng hall at bumalik na ako sa loob to look for my brother. Niyaya ‘ko na syang umuwi non at luckily ay pumayag naman din sya dahil may pupuntahan daw kami ngayon.

I don’t have any idea kung saan pero buti nalang at nakabihis na ako ngayon. I am just waiting na umakyat dito sa kwarto ‘ko si Mommy to know kung ayos na ba itong suot ‘ko. I don’t want to disappoint her kaya naman gusto ‘kong malaman kung ayos na ba sa kanya ang suot ‘ko. She’s like a mother to me kaya naman pinapahalagahan ‘ko sya.

*brizz*

I glance at my phone nang tumunog ito bigla. Wala naman akong inaasahan na matatanggap na mensahe ngayon dahil alam ni Apple na may pupuntahan kami ni Kuya Arnold. If it is my groupmates on our project, tapos na kami don so they won’t be chatting on our group chat since naipasa na namin ng maaga ‘yon.

Napakunot naman ako ng noo nang makita ‘ko kung bakit tumunog ang cellphone ‘ko. It was a notification on my facebook account. Iisa lang naman ang account ‘ko sa social media since ayoko ng public attentions. Kilala kasi ang family namin at iniiwasan ‘ko na magkaroon ng maraming social media accounts para maiwasan na ma-judge ng mga tao.

People keeps chatting on me sa twitter kaya naman dinelete ‘ko na ‘yung account ‘ko don. It gives me some toxicity dahil na rin sa mga wala namang kabuluhan ang minemessage sa’kin. So, I decided sna itira nalang ang account ‘ko na ‘to since I can use this for communication dahil connected sya sa messaging app nya.

Now, I’m wondering what’s with the post about kung saan tinag ako ni Apple. I click on the notification at bumungad sa akin ang isang post ni Apple kagabi na nakatag ako. It has a caption na first time daw nya akong nakasama sa party ng Emerson University.

Our photos last night are attached maging ng ilang mga kakilala ni Apple. Well, our school was open last night for outsider dahil marami rin ang gusto pumunta na ‘di naman sa school namin nag-aaral kaya pinayagan na ng faculty.

Madami na ring nag-react at comment sa post nya. Mostly the commentors and the reactors were our schoolmates at mga kakilala ni Apple na hindi ‘ko naman kilala. But, among of all the comments and reactions na nasa post, may isa dito ang nakakuha ng atensyon ‘ko.
      
       
Kane Sean Hernandez
      Pretty
         
         
Kane Sean? Ito ba ‘yung kagabi na nakabungguan ‘ko sa likod ng hall? I guess he is dahil sa comment nya. More people replied also in his comment na tinatanong kung sino daw ba ‘yung sinasabihan nya ng pretty. Mahirap nga naman malaman kung sino as the post contains too many people dahil kung sino-sino ang kinuhanan ni Apple ng litrato kagabi.

She told me last night na ipopost daw nya ‘yon sa account and here the post is. I wonder what’s wrong with these peoples. Is it big deal that Kane commented like that? Marami kasing nagsabi ng thank you and even some peoples claimed that it was them na sinasabihan ni Kane.

He’s popular and if I’m right ay isa sya sa myembro ng EverAfter, which is our school band’s name. He’s the guitarist tulad ng kinuwento ni Apple sa akin. Maybe that’s the reason why people claimed that they’re the one na pinupuri ni Kane.

“Miracle?” I stop reading the comments and turn off my phone

“Yes, Mommy?” Sagot ‘ko at tumayo na mula sa pagkakaupo sa kama ‘ko
