A harmonious relationship is critical. May kapatid ako named Vera. When I had been at my worst, she used to be my wall. Since we were little, I had admiration for her. We both had wonderful lives with our parents up until an awful thing tore us apart, that changed Rona.

We are both freshmen who often quarrel over academics. Being her sister, I am delighted of her competitive spirit. A sister wanting reconciliation with her younger sister.

She never wanted to live with me after our parents passed away, so she was frequently with Melissa, who used to be also my best friend, but there is confusion between us.

Ako ang panganay pero bakit ako naghahabol. Ang sakit isipin na tayo'y nagbago pareho, akala ko ay magiging karamay sa lahat ng bagay pero nauwi lang pala ang lahat sa walang bahala.

I'm on my way to school until I bump into a luxurious car; my bicycle is the reason. Bumili lang naman ako ng candy sa tindahan ng biglang nabangga ng bata ang bike ko kaya nagpahandusay naman ang bike ko papunta sa daan.

"What the hell, it almost hit my car ",

Napakagat labi naman ako ng marinig ko ang lakas ng boses ng isang lalaki. It's freaking me out!. Tumakbo naman ako papunta sa bike ko para kunin ito. " Such a bad day nga naman", sabi ko ng pabulong habang wala namang kibo ang driver.

He is so f*cking gwapo pero masungit, as proven by the car's slide through the window as I was picking up my bicycle. I gave him a smile and started getting thrilled.

"I really apologise for what happened, boss. Hindi naman tinamaan ang car mo so just let me go nalang po", paawa ko baka umepekto.

" Boss? I prefer to be called Sir than Boss. My parents gave me a name and not Boss so if you don't know my name call me Sir", he starting to reveal his face, pinalapit pa talaga ako sa malapit sa bintana ng sasakyan niya para makita ang pagmumukha niya.

" Just call me whatever you want, I have no to time for a peasant like you", at biglang pinahaharurot ang sasakyan niya. Peasant? Ako? Hindi niya lang alam na ang pamilya namin ay nagmamay ari ng malaking kompanya noon at isa sa pinakasikat na kompanya. I drewed my eyebrows while heading back to the store.

" Salamat dito ate", at tuluyan na sana akong umalis ng biglang may dumating isang Ali na matanda if pwede ba niyang hingiin ang isang kendi na hawak hawak ko para daw may makain siya.

Bumaba ako sa bike at bumalik sa tindahan. " Ate, pabili po ng isang tatlong tinapay at isang bote ng coke at pakibigay nalang po kay Nanay yung binili ko ate", sabay abot ko ng bayad kay ate.

Pasakay na ako ng bike ko ng biglang hinawakan ng Ali yung kamay ko na siyang nagulat ako.

" May naghihintay sayo. May magmamahal sayo ngunit may hadlang ito", sabi nito sabay bitaw sa kamay ko.

Hindi ko na pinansin yung sinabi ng Ali dahil ba ka dala lang Ito ng gutom niya at tuluyan na akong umalis papunta sa paaralan. Ali's words still confusing me.

Ano kayang ibig sabihin ni Ali kanina, she is so weird and It's my first time to meet like her. Malapit na talaga akong dumating ng nakita ko naman si  Vera at Melissa na nakasakay sa magarbong sasakyan at tiyak pupunta narin sila sa paaralan. I'm not jealous of her because I am very happy for her, it's just she don't want to talk to me.

I drove my bike as I sang my favorite music. Life made me cry till' my knees, this is unfair. I gasped while driving my little cutie pie bike.
