Love In A Hopeless Place

Chapter 1

Maristella POV

*knock knock*

"Mmmmmm.. Still sleepy.. Zzzzz" I managed to say that while my eyes are still close and my mind is still at dreamland.

"Baby! Are you awake? Breakfast is ready. Get up!" Mom shouted while knocking my door. Ugh, mommy Talaga! Napaka-early bird.

"Opo my, give me 5 more minutes. I'm still sleepy.. " I shouted. Yung siguradong maririnig niya outside my room.

"Masamang pinag-hihintay ang pagkain, MARISTELLA REIGN VARGAS! Isa.. Get up sleepy head. Tanghali na!" Mom shouted back.

Okay she's serious! She even call my full name. Wala na kong palag. Pero ano daw? Breakfast is ready tapos tanghali na? Seriously? Confusing huh.

"Yeah, yeah. Alright, Maris is on the way mommy. " I shouted again. So, ayon di naman kami masyadong mahilig sumigaw. Medyo-medyo lang!

Before getting up from my bed, I look at the side table where my mini cutie pinkish clock placed. Oh gracious! It's already 8 o'clock in the morning and my class starts at 9 o'clock am. WTH don't tell me first day of class tapos late ako? Azar ha!

1 hour before first class, such a good timing for the first day of school. Shocks! Terror pa naman din daw yung mga professors doon sa bago 'kong school. Bakit ba naman kasi nauso pa yang transfer-transfer na yan eh! Kung 'di lang talaga dahil sa hipokrito na yun edi sana doon pa din ako. At Sinong hipokrito? Secret ko na 'yun!

At dahil ang dami mong satsat late ka na lalo. ~

Automatic, napatayo ako at Napa-straight ahead sa nag-mumurang pink na bathroom. Ayoko, ayoko Talaga sa pink. Promise!

Yung 1 hour na pag-ligo ko, na'minimize ko in just 30 minutes. Wow! For the first time 'di ako nakapag-concert sa bathroom ko. After my morning rituals, kinuha ko na yung susuotin ko sa pink closet dahil first day of class pa lang pwede muna kaming naka' civilian. I put on my craptop which is color white partner with red skinny jeans that suits my lipstick. I bun my hair like a messy one but look so elegant. At Para sa Panapos I get my black sandals and black with touch of pink pouch bag. Viola! I'm so pretty level 101!

"Baby! You're going to be late! Marco is waiting for you downstairs. " Mommy shouted for the nth time. Buti nalang sinundo ako ni Kuya Marco, mas kabisado niya kasi yung campus kasi dun Talaga siya nag-aral since doon na siya pumapasok noong first year college palang siya.

"Yes mom! I'm coming!" I replied. Bumaba na rin ako agad. Nag-lalakad pa lang ako pababa na-vi'visualized ko na agad yung epic face ni Kuya Marco. Ayaw niya kasi pinag-hihintay siya! Oh, see! Hindi nga ko nag-kamali, He's murderous look welcomed me.

"Uhh-uhhh.. Good morning Kuya! Don't look at me like that. You're so handsome pa naman." I smiled hanggang tenga. Pambobola ko sa kaniya para hindi ma'beast mode.

"Huwag mo akong bolahin, you ugly kiddo!" poker face niyang saad sakin. See? Menopause lang eh 'noh? At tuluyan na siyang nag-lakad palabas. Alangan naman gumapang palabas? tsk.
