Am I Not Enough?

"Let me know if you're going home." He said and looked at me at nag cellphone lang rin.

"Okay." I uttered and continued to eat my snacks. "Kuya, buy more of this chips thingy." Pertaining to the mixed chips I'm eating.

"What's that ba? Let me see." Kuya Sandro looked at the bowl I was holding. "Oh, mixed veggie chips." He uttered and took some.

"Did you buy this? or it was a gift?" I asked.

He's trying to remember where did he got it. "Oh! That was given by Kons. Handy."

I just nodded and turned on my iPad and watched my fave series.

Our attention went to the door when it opened. It was Kuya Simon! Kakagaling sa work niya.

"Oh, hey dude!" Kuya Simon exclaimed to Kuya Sandro. "Napa uwi ka?"

"Uh yeah. Just need to run some errands around Manila." Kuya Sandro answered.

"How's school, Victorine? Better?" Kuya Simon muttered while removing his business coat.

"I guess so? Hopefully, it will continue. There's some pa pero, it lessen naman." I observed. School's not so perfect for me, guys. I mean, especially that I'm connected to the President.

My life is always at risk. Baka sabihin niyo may special treatment sa school. More like slave treatment. But, what's new, diba? Since I was born, I was already hated by many.

"What's happening?" Kuya Sandro muttered curiously. "Someone's bullying you?"

Oh, yeah. Dipa ako nakakapag open kay Kuya Sandro. I know he's busy, kaya diko narin nasabi sakanya. Dadagdag pa ako eh. And I know that he's always tired. Seeing he's face right now, he's eyes.

"Don't worry, Kuya. It lessen since Kuya Simon went to the school. Tsaka, kaya ko naman. I mean, what's new?" I answered assuring him that I'm fine.

"Why, bakit ngayon ko lang to nalaman? I told you, tell me everything." Kuya Sandro exclaimed and turned off his phone to talk to me.

"I know you're busy, kuya. I don't want to add up." Maikli kong sagot at itinabi ko rin ang iPad.

"Kahit na, Rie! I'll always make time for you. You know that. We have an agreement." He murmured and sincerely looked me in the eyes. He doesn't like me to be bullied and attacked.

"I know, kuya! And I'm sorry, ok?" I exclaimed. "It's just that I'm used to it."

"Is mom and dad aware of what's happening in your school?" He asked and looked at Kuya Simon na tahimik nalang sa gilid because he knows kung pano mag react si Kuya Sandro.

"No." Tipid na sagot ni Kuya Si. "Hey, Kuya. Ask for Rie's opinion muna bago mo sabihin kina mom."

"That's it. I'll go to your school tomorrow, wether you like it or not. This has to end now. They don't respect you and that's madness." Kuya Sandro declared. 

"You're just a 14 year old girl. And yet their acting like that? How immature." He added and took his phone to call his assistant so that his schedule will be cleared tomorrow.

"No need, kuya! I can handle it naman. Don't cause a scene." I tried to convince him not to go.

"Kahit anong pilit mo, Victorine. My mind will not change. If they will not stop, then I have no choice but to transfer you. And I'm not gonna cause a scene. I'll just talk to your principal." He exclaimed.

Wala na akong magagawa. Ilang beses narin kasi ito nangyari. Ako lang pumipilit na wag akong intransfer because I want to study here in the Philippines.
