Hello, baby boy

CHAPTER 1

CHAPTER 1

"Good morning, hermosa!" this is my dad speaking. He treats me like I'm some rebellious kid who needs protecting. It gets annoying, most of the time, but I still cope with it because I know this only shows that he cares for her unica hija.

"Good morning, Papa!" I said in response because I really think this is one good day for me.

Today is my first day of being a senior. I'm really feeling excited about this year because soon, I will be graduating and I will finally go to the States for my college educ... but I have to be the valedictorian of my batch first. I wouldn't want to disappoint my mom, would I?

"Look at this girl who woke up 15 minutes late! You won't get enough time to do your routine, Alexandra." Speak of the devil, and the devil shall come, but no, my mom's really not evil for me, just her doings. She makes me do things I didn't want and I didn't know I can do. I follow her rules, nonetheless.

"Then, I would do some adjustments. I can just... you know, I can just not do some parts of my routine that is not badly needed. You think that's possible, mom?"

I really chose my words carefully. I don't want to start a fight by disobeying her because I intend on keeping my good girl character but there's really not much time till my first class. I only have 2 and a half hours and my routine would take up 1 hour to be done.

"Can you hear yourself, huh, Trixie Alexandra? You've been doing that routine for the past 10 years and you think some parts aren't really important? Aba, ano ba namang klaseng suggestion 'yan? Don't eat your breakfast anymore, you can eat some other time. Maybe if your teacher arrives late. Now go and do what you need to do."

I was waiting for my father to disagree to this control-freak woman in front of me because he is my father. An overprotective one I must add, so my health should be one of his concerns but Mom is really something. She has me and Papa wrapped around her fingers.

So I unwillingly have to follow. I have to abide. She already said my full name and it creeped the hell out of me. I can't make her any madder than she already is. Guess, I just have to cut my breakfast out of my morning sched and bath a little faster than usual.

"Okay, ma. I'll be upstairs if you need me with anything. I won't skip any part of my rout, anymore. You can help yourself believe by checking the CCTV tapes later."

I went up to the gym and opened my practice room. I did everything that had to be done. Flexing for ballet, stretching for volleyball, vocalization for my voice and I did two fast piano pieces. I finished everything after 1 hour and 10 minutes. I still have 1 hour and 20 minutes to prepare for school.

"Okay na yung tub mo, nak. Naihanda ko na ang blouse and mini-skirt mo, nandiyan sa may hook. Nagprepare rin ako ng light meal para may laman naman ang tiyan mo." THIS IS MY ANGEL, MY SAVIOR, AND THE COUNTERPART OF EVERY BAD VIBES IN THIS HOUSE.
