Liliana's POV

"I'm excited to show them this." I said excitedly as I raised my phone, basically admiring some of my grades that have been revealed.

Our grades were supposed to be kept confidential until the card day itself, but some of our teachers had told us our grades in advance.

This is actually the first time that I ever got this kind of grade. 2 of them were in the lines of 9s, though it wasn't that impressive. Mostly nasa line of 8 kasi ang grades ko.

I still feel proud of it as it is the proof of my hard work. Ilang buwan ko kaya 'tong pinag-puyatan. I admit that I wasn't smart. Rather, I was a pretty dumb one. If you compare me to my other siblings, I'll probably look like I am not even part of our family.

My siblings and even my parents are called geniuses by other people. I've never been called that by anyone in my entire life.

I was probably what you could call the black sheep of the family, a failure that failed to do simple things and a disappointment in the eyes of others.

I was the 3rd youngest among us, 6 siblings. Our oldest was named Ain, and then next to him were the older twins, Kuya Cal and Kuya Max. Both my twin, Sevi and I, came after them, and our youngest sister was Seina.

My eldest brother, Kuya Ain, has been at the top of his classes. He is now in college, currently studying Accountancy. Despite the course being hard, it still did not come as an obstacle to him as he remained at the top of his class.

Honestly speaking, it wasn't even that surprising to me now. He has been at the top of the class since his elementary school. It is already expected that he would also remain at the top even in college.

I sat by the bench and started swaying my feet. I did text Mom earlier, but there's still no reply.

I do admire Kuya Ain a lot. We don't talk much as both of us aren't talkative, and we don't really bump into each other that much despite living in the same house but it doesn't change the fact that i look up to him.

He's really cool. I mean, he's my role model for a reason. The same goes for my older twin brothers, Kuya Cal and Kuya Max.

Kuya Cal was the second oldest among us. Well... technically... both him and Kuya Max are twins, but he was, I think, 7 minutes older.

Though Kuya Cal wasn't the top of his class like Kuya Ain was, it couldn't be denied that he is smart. Kuya Max was the same. He took on pre-med and has never once failed to make it on the dean's list.

He was also very talented, especially in arts. His drawings are impressive and unique in a way that it was something that you would like to look at all day.

My twin brother, on the other hand, was an academic achiever who planned to study architecture in the future. And lastly, Seina.

Seina was a very talented person. She literally had everything. She knows how to sing, dance, cook, draw, and even play various instruments like the piano, viola, violin, etc.
