Zio

It's 4:45 in the morning and I got up before the alarm. My eyes are tired, yet I'm unwilling to sleep again. If I do, I'll have a hard time getting up; I think slept at 10 pm, damn.

Leaving my room, I entered the kitchen. I'll be the one to prepare breakfast as my mother is still asleep.

Nagsaing ako and I went to the bathroom to take a bath.

I put on clothing and headed to the kitchen when I finished my bath. There, my mother was preparing my meal.

"Bakit hindi mo ako ginising?" My mother asked

"I don't want to wake you up, late ka kasi natulog" I answered

"Nako Miles sanay na ako sa ganiyan, you should wake me up para ako na magluto." My mother said

I love my mother so much, yet I'm too shy to express my feelings to her. I'm incredibly grateful to have a mother who is so beautiful, devoted, and loving.

After finishing my meal, I changed my clothes and headed to school.

As I headed to school, it was a peaceful morning. The atmosphere was calm and cold from the previous night outside. I couldn't help but admire the surroundings as I went. The sky was painted in pink and orange hues as the sun barely began to rise.

The moment I turned the corner, Ms. Beautiful was coming my way. She appeared to be immersed in her own world as she moved with a certain grace that caught my eye. She had a little smile on her face and was wearing a grey jacket.

As we passed each other in the hallway, it appeared as though time had stopped. As she went about her business, I couldn't help but steal a glance at her. On this calm early morning, she was like a ray of sunshine, making everything around her look brighter.

I couldn't help but think of her as I continued to walk to school. Her beauty had made an impression on my mind, infusing me with a calm and joy that lasted.

"Hoy Miles Luxerven!" A familiar voice called me

I turned to where someone had called me, and there was my friend Cheyanne; sinapak niya ako.

"Ayo bro what was that for?" I said, rubbing the area of my arm where she had slapped it.

"Hindi ka kasi pumunta sa classroom ko, ang bad mo" She said while pouting, she slapped my arm once again.

"Yannn stop, hindi na ako maging mysterious" I laughed after what I said.

"Pa mysterious ka pa, tanga ka parin." Cheyanne said and rolled her eyes after.

While Cheyanne and I were walking, I saw Ms. Beautiful reading her book.

"Yan" I whispered to Cheyanne

"Ha?" Cheyanne whispered back

"That's her" I whispered to Cheyanne

"Anong her? Sinong her?" Cheyanne loudly said which made Ms. Beautiful look at our direction, kinurot ko siya

"Gagi ang sakit, siya ba yung chika mo kagabi?" Cheyanne whispered

"Oo, mysterious yet beautiful." I said

"Ang ganda niya, parang straight; wala kang chance non." tumawa si Cheyanne sa huli niyang sinabi

"Shut up sis, you don't have a gaydar." Sinabi ko with bombastic side eye HAHAHAHA

"Anong gaydar?" Cheyanne asked

"Secret, di pwede sa straight eh." I jokingly said

I opened my phone and 7:30 am na pala, damnn I need to hurry up.
