Love and Teasing: A Freshman's Dilemma

Prologue

"Julius? Where are you na? I've been waiting here for hours, ha!" I said as I was looking around the airport in search of my brother. He told me na nandito na siya 30 minutes ago! I bet he was lying to make me stop nagging him to come earlier.

"Look to your right, Dan," he said over the phone. I looked and there he was, wearing shades? Why?

I started walking towards him. "Hi! Musta ang flight, Dan?" he asked. I handed him my luggage and ignored his remark.

"Huy, hindi namamansin! Sumbong kita kay Dad niyan," pagbabanta niya.

I quickly turned to face him, "Don't you dare!"

He handed me back my luggage, "Then bring this! Sinong tinatakot mo?"

"I can't believe you're treating me this way! I'm new here sa Philippines! You should guide me."

"New mo, mukha mo. You've been here countless times!" I was so shocked at what he said. How did he know?! I've been lying to our dad and mom about going to another country during summer breaks when my destination was always the Philippines.

"H-how? Kuya! How did you know?!" I asked him. I have to know how! My parents can't know, especially my dad.

"You're curious as to how I found out, right?" he was smirking. He grabbed my bags and started putting them inside the car.

I nodded as an answer.

As he closed the trunk, he whispered, "Asa ka," pang aasar niya sa akin.

Uminit ang ulo ko sakanya! I smacked his head and heard him grunt before I went to the passenger seat. "Alam mo? Tangina mo, kuya!" I shouted as I closed the door as hard as I could.

Naiinis kong inalis itong shoulder bag at jacket ko while cursing the guy who owns this car. "Asa daw ako? Huh, edi isumbong niya ako! I'll destroy this car then!" I know how much my brother loves cars. I've never even seen this one yet, bago siguro 'to.

"Don't. Mahal magpagawa ng sasakyan, miss."

I stopped talking to myself and blinked at the guy that's seating on the driver's seat. Pogi sana kaso mukhang he could shoot lasers with his eyes. And those lips?

Wait, what? I collected myself, "W-who the hell are you?! Isn't this kuya's car?" I can't believe I stuttered and was just checking him out.

"This car is mine. Julius asked me for a favor to help him pick up his sister." He looked at me. "And that's you," he held out his hand, "Hi, I'm Sebastian, your brother's best friend."
