Safely.
tuluyan ko nang nilubog ang sarili sa malaking bath tub, its almost a month since the party and of course the scene where I saw him leave the lake. ayaw ko mang aminin sa sarili ay medyo naiinis ako dahil ang gwapo siya tlga sa mata ko, after that incident with him i didin't hear anything from him,maybe his busy with his girl.
the hot water makes me relax and at the same time makes me remember that day. how come he just ruin my lake 'munimuni' then after he just left and telling me to just talk later!. but he did not! how dare him?!.
"Amythyst are you still bathing? it's almost an hour!" mabilis kong iniangat ang mga kamay ko, kumpirmado na inabot ako ng isang oras doon. "bakit mo ako ino-oras-an kuya?!" i smirked and drained the tub while i'm still inside of it, the bubles from the soap stayed from my body while the others slowly cascading through the sink hole.
it's gonna be my first day at school, medyo maaga ako gumising dahil sa excited ako, pero hindi ko aakalain na mumultuhin ako ng letseng Alastair bwiset!. pag labas ko ay wala na si kuya,maybe he's downstairs with mom and dad and of corse my other siblings.
nag bihis muna ako ng uniform ko kulay abo ito as in grey, inuna ko ang blouse ko tsaka ko sinunod and palda para itak-in then ung coat. init-init naka coat? oo na lang talaga. sa pag baba ko ay hindi ko aakalaing hindi lang kami ang nasa hapag kainan. Alastair is there laughing with my father and mother . I stunned from what I see, not because he's laughing with my parents.
nahihiya man dahil ako na lang talaga ang hinihintay ay tumabi ako kay Calla. her eyes roam from my uniform. I feel a little bit uncomfortable the way she's eyeing me from head to toe. parang namamangha pero hindi niya lang masabi. hays, pangit kaya saakin? kakamadali ko ay hindi ko na tinignan pa ang sarili sa salamin. my hair is a mess because i didn't bother comb it! akala ko'y kakain lang balak ko sannag sa sasakyan na mag suklay. hindi ko naman mangingingain ang isang toh dito!
"good morning my dear Caroline!" wala sa sarili akong napatingin kay mom, hindi ko naiwasan ang tingin ni Alastair saakin, his eyes pierced through my skin ,kaya naman binaalik ko ang tingin ko kay mom. "good morning po mommy." balik kong bati.tsaka inabot saaakin ni kuya Anthony ang paborito kong pizza, nginitian ko siya ng malaki dahil doon, tsaka ako nag thumbs up sakanya. sabi niya ay hindi raw healthy ang pagkain ng pizza, pero nang sabihin kong gusto ko itong umagahan ay lagi nang meron nakareserve.
my last bite come thru an end, but mommy say something that made me choke. "your kuya Alastair would like to escort you to school."
"pfft! sorry." Calla said. iI look at her in disbelief, this girl really testing my patient ha! nilunok ko muna ang natitirang pizza tsaka ako nag salita. "mom..." tinignan ko si kuya Anthony just sip in his coffee then proceed reading his news paper, same as dad. i think all of them have something in their mind right now, only mom, and of course this man named Alastair.
"I-I don't want to bother someone just to escort me in my school mom." the last words are just a whisper. kailangan ko na talagang tanggapin na hindi ako matatahimik sa araw na ito. matapos kumain ay umakyat muli ako at nag suklay, 9 am pa naman ang start ng klase ko 8:00 am na kaya naman binilisan ko na lang mag suklay tsaka ako bumaba.
