My deadly eyes pierced to him.
"Ano? Ba't ang sama mo tumingin ngayon, bantot?"
His smile?
"May problema?"
I just fucking don't like it. Para bang nakikipaglaro siya sa akin. Even his eyes were grinning at me making me feel like I am the most nonentity person he has ever met. It's uncomfortable. It is annoying as hell. He actually is. Everything about him is washout.
Napapikit ako nang maramdaman ang bolang tumama sa ulo ko. Halos wala na akong maramdaman sa ginawa niya sa galit na nararamdaman ko. Kumbaga, mas nangingibabaw ang gigil ko kaysa sa sakit ng tigas ng bola.
We're currently at the basketball court of their house. Hindi ko mapigilan. Huminga ako ng malalim at dali-dali namang kinuha ang bola at ibinato rin sa kaniya nang madiin. Umiwas siya. At, nagawa pa niyang tumawa roon.
"Fuck you, Alexander Jiro." I hardly told him.
His eyebrows slowly furrowed. Dahan-dahan siyang lumapit sa akin. Tumatagaktak pa ang pawis.
Pagkalapit niya ay ibinaling niya ang ulo niya na para bang sinusuri ako.
He crossed his arms and then he chuckled. "Don't talk dirty to me. I don't like it."
Nanlaki ang aking mga mata sa gulat nang maisip kung ano ang naiisip niya.
"A-Ano?!"
He was continuously smirking like a jerk until he left me alone there.
"Maddie? I was looking for you earlier! Where have you been, hija?" Tita Quez worriedly asked me.
"Sa labas lang po, tita." And I smiled as if all everything her only son did to me lately was fine. That ignoramus.
"Have you eaten already? Si Ash ba ay hindi makakarating? How about your mom?"
It is the ignoramus' birthday. Kiel favorably requested me, his cousin, to find him because they need to talk about something. I happened to tell the jerk at the court, and unfortunately, I ended up being bullied, again. If only my mom did not force me to death to join his birthday celebration tonight then I wouldn't come! But not meeting him forever is inevitable! This was a terrible idea.
Umupo ako sa sofa matapos sagutin si Tita Quez sa tanong niya. Mamaya pa ang totoong selebrasyon. Ngunit bago ang bonggang handaan ay may kaonting handaan pa muna dahil ganoon sila kayaman. I believe they won't ever experience food shortage with their status. And, an average family like us are not even close to them. It is all obvious by just looking at their house. This was beautifully made. There is a touch of some sort of vintage and modern yet it comes out good.
Tumunog ang aking selpon.
Mom :
Are you already there, anak?
Mom :
Wait for me.
Jiro and I are not related in blood, it's just that Tita Quez and Mom are best of friends. Napagtanto ko pa na simula elementaryo ay magkaibigan na talaga sila dati pa. This would explain their strong and lovely friendship. I just wished I also had like what they have. A friendship. But sometimes, I question myself if I'm also the problem. Because ever since, I am a lone wolf, who likes being alone.
Dumating na ang gabi na pinakahihintay ng lahat.
"Do I look good?" My mom sought for an answer.
She's wearing a sheath red wine dress complementing her golden necklace.
"Of course, mommy!"
While I'm only just in a casual flare black dress partnered with white stilletos. As for my chin-length hair, I would always think that it's for the better not to even budge it a bit.
