Embracing My Shepherd [COMPLETED]

Chapter 3

           Why does it have to be you?

Ever since childhood my name has always been placed at the top of the honor lists. I've sacrificed my entire childhood for that title. I've did everything to please my parents who can't see me and my hard works.

It sucks how they can only see me when I fail to do something that pleases them. It sucks how they underestimate me. It sucks how all they can see is my brothers. And it fucking sucks how they can never feel a little pity out of me.

"Let's give a round of applause to Mr. Maivann Nash Santos for that excellent presentation."

"Congratulations to Mr. Maivann Nash Santos and Ms. Reiela krish Sandoval for having the perfect score in our long quiz."

Buong oras ay wala akong narinig kundi papuri ng mga guro sa kaniya.

In the past it was only my name. Pero ngayon, kasama na ang pangalan niya. And what frustrates me the more is nag mumukha akong pumapangalawa dahil sa kaniya!

I mean, He's been my classmate since the 1st year highschool at sa pagkaka-alala ko ay wala siyang pakealam sa mga ganito.

I'll be honest, matataas ang scores niya kahit noon pa. Madalas din namang pantay ang scores naming dalawa.

I yawned while looking at the whiteboard in front of me. Nandito na-naman ako sa school, feeling ko talaga bumibisita na lang ako sa bahay.

Not that I hate it, I like being here more than in our house. School has been my escape, I hate being in our house, it feels suffocating and... dead...

I breathe heavily and listened to our teacher who's discussing in front.

After discussing the lesson, she then discussed about the rooms of the world and the economy modelo for the english month.

"Sino ang representative niyo sa bawat group?" She asked. Sari-sariling sagot ang mga kaklase tungkol sa kanilang representative.

"Sa inyo Ms.Sandoval?" She turned to me.

"Si miu po." She nod.

May tatlong grupo kasi kami, kagroupo ko si miu at rain, si felix at maivann naman ay magka groupo, habang si alyssa at ash naman ay magkasama.

Eco modelo, 'yon ung gagawa kami ng dress out of recycled materials. Habang ang rooms of the world naman ay ang d-designan namin ang aming mga rooms depending on our theme. At dahil greek mythology ang naka assign sa amin, ganoon ang gagawin same with the eco modelo.

Si felix ang model ng kabilang group sa pagkaka-alam ko ay si Hermes ang i-c-o-cosplay niya. Habang si miu naman ay si Persephone at si ash ay si Demeter ang napili.

"Nakapag start naba kayo?" She asked again. Lahat kami ay natawa ng akward. Napailing na lamang ang guro nang walang nakihang sagot mula sa amin.

"I'll remind you that you only have 3 weeks to do your costumes." She reminded us.

Plano palang ng dress ang nagagawa namin, sila felix naman ay inuunang gawin ang staff ni hermes habang sila ash naman ay nag sisimula na sa gown. Napanguso ako nang marealize na wala pa kaming nasisimulan. I looked at miu.

"Pwede ba gumawa sa inyo sa sabado?" I asked her. Tumango naman ito kaya napatango na din ako.

Mag m-message na lang siguro ako sa GC namin mamaya para sa mga materials na need, siguro sa junk shop na lang kami kukuha ng materials, mas mura naman siguro doon. Tuesday palang naman din may three days pa naman kami this week para gumawa, kaya 'yan.
