A Daze To Nostalgia

Nostalgia //  Departures

"Dorothy! Pupunta ka pa ba o hindi na? Sabihin mo lang kasi you're wasting our time!" Alyson said with her annoyed voice that can be heard just once in a century. I swear she has a long patience pero baka naubos ko na yata ngayon.

"Fuck Aly. I said, I'll come, okay?! Just..wait for me. I'm packing my clothes na," I said while trying to clip my phone between my shoulder and my cheek while packing some clothes for our I-don't-know-how-many-days-trip.

"Just make sure Dorothy. You're already 30 minutes late sa call time and our flight will be on 3:00 this afternoon. Alam mo ba kung anong oras na?!" another high blooded (if that's even a word) voice but a little lower than Alyson. So, I guess it's Tarah.

Para lang asarin sila I answered them, "Oras na para mahalin niyo ako?" I said while grinning and chewing a strawberry flavored mint bubble gum. And guess what, it worked!

"For fuck sake Dorothy! I don't care if you're grounded or not pero kung wala ka pa dito after 30 minutes then maybe you should go and say 'Bye Palawan' na"

I grabbed the last piece of pants and tried to put it inside the bulky bag. I also grabbed my black nail polish,, eye liner and gums which I used a few moments ago and put it in my backpack.

"Okay guys, I'm all set. I just need to sneak out on our house and-"

"Dorothy anak! Ready ka na ba?" a sweet but annoying for me voice just made my heart pound.

"Shit."

I heard her footsteps so I tried to hide the big bulky bag under bed.

"Ano? Bakit ka nagmumura mag-isa diyan?" Aly asked through the phone.

"Gotta call you back. Bye."

"Siguraduhin mo lang na makakapun-" and I ended the call and lay down on my bed and try to cover my whole body with my blanket. The door opened.

"Dorothy," I heard my mom's annoying voice. "Ano ba?! Kailan ka babangon dyan?! Diba kanina pa kita ginigising?! Pupunta tayo ngayon sa lola mo dahil birthday niya! Hindi ka nanaman ba nakikinig sa akin?!"

"Mom, can I just sleep na lang and stay here for the next days?! I'll be fine alone naman eh kaya kayo na lang pumunta ni Dad."

"Nice speech, Dorothy. Para you can do whatever you want habang wala kami? Grounded ka pa naman ngayon dahil sa pinaggagagawa mo sa school niyo! Nalaman na yun ng lola mo tapos ayaw mo ang pumunta sa birthday niya! Gosh! You're such a disappointment! "

I removed the blanket on my face. Hay nako, grabe talaga mangkonsensya kainis.

"Fine!!! I'll go na!!! I won't live my freaking life na masaya! Lagi ko na lang kayo susundin para naman hindi na kayo madisappoint sa akin!" I said with sarcasm. And I saw her shocked face.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

From her shocked face, she slowly composed herself to her bossy face. Wait what happened? Papagalitan nanaman ba niya ako?

"Dorothy Faith," she started. Oh damn, she even used both of my names. What's going on? "Why are you wearing your make-up? At naka lipstick ka pa ha. Are you planning to sneak out again without our concern?" She asked me nang tuloy-tuloy. And I swear this is her stage before going on her beast mode. And I think I'm the one...I'm the dumbest person in the entire planet for wearing make up and dark lipstick at nagawa pang magpanggap na natutulog.

I heaved a sigh and grabbed my phone. "Wait lang...mom," with matching rolling my eyes at taas kamay pa yan signing to stop in front of her.

I typed the words.
