My parents and I got home around 10pm. We shared laughter for 3 hours that are irreplaceable. Hindi pa nga kami uuwi kagabi kung hindi naramdaman ni Ella ang pagkaantok.

"Goodnight Andi" said dad as he assisted our little princess to go to her room.

"Bah-bye ate" she said while her eyes are half asleep. cutie.

"Goodnight lil sis" I kissed her forehead.

"Goodnight dad" I kissed him in his cheek

I went to my room at dumerecho na ako agad sa kama.

Looking in my ceiling with glowing stars stick in it. I miss province. I miss just laying in the grass and seeing beautiful stars that are scattered in the sky, fresh air that blows your hair..

I didn't realize na unti-unti nang pumipikit ang aking mata. Unti-unti na akong dinalaw ng antok

*knock knock*

*knock knock*

Ugh.. i rubbed my eyes.

*knock knock*

I looked around my room

*knock knock*

"Honey, are you awake?" mom's voice

Gusto ko pa matulog.

"It's 7:15 honey"

WAIT. WHAT?! I slept deeply that I didn't hear my alarm. This can't be.

I ran towards my closet and chose the easy-wear clothes a hoodie and a jeans.

I can't be late. You can't be late.

I got my toothbrush and my brush and do multitasking. Nagwisik lang ng tubig sa buhok and tadaa all good. Got my bag at buti nalang si dad hindi pa naalis. Sumabay na ako sa kanya, at mukhang malalate talaga ako. Time checked: 7:25 Traffic. I'm halfway sa school.

"Dad, I'll walk from here." nagpapanic na ako na binuksan ang pintuan.

I ran as fast as I could.

*beep beep*

"Need a ride?"

Tinignan ko ang motor na nasa gilid ng kalye. Jones. He smirked

I didn't think twice, I hopped and got the helmet from his hand

"Hold on tight" I did as to what he said. I grasped his waist

He's a monster. Pinatakbo niya ito ng sobrang bilis, umiiwas sa mga kotse na nakakasagabal sa daan. Mas napahigpit pa ang kapit ko sa kanya, to the point na napayakap na din ako sakanya. He's a pro and because of him we got to our class at exactly 7:30.

"Thanks Jones. I owe you one." I said as we sat beside each other. Pinipilit ko parin habulin ang aking hininga, katulad niya, cause after he parked his motor, I grabbed his hand and run to our classroom as fast as we could. Kung hindi ko pa kasi ito hilahin, paniguradong malalate yung sa class namin. Knowing Jones.

"What about lunch later?" he said with a smile

"O-Okay" I said when our teacher arrived

Sumandal ako sa aking upuan para muling habulin ang hininga

It bugs me so much because for the past 30 minutes Jones is smiling like an idiot.

"Why are smiling like that Jones?" I said in an irritated manner

"Just happy" he tried to hold his smile

Umiling na lamang ako at tinuon ang pansin sa harap

"I'll be waiting for you at the parking lot later. 12pm" Jones said when we got outside the room.
