Operation: Be His Ideal Girl

Chapter 6

6. 

“That is the final straw, Poppy. You are going to England.”-Gerry

“Yawn. The boarding school threat again.”-Poppy

“I don't even recognize you anymore. All this is going to stop right now!”-Gerry

“So what? Big deal! You can just replace me with a newer, trashier version, like you did with Mom!”-Poppy

“You are going to boarding school in England, and that's final.”-Gerry

“What? You think just because Mom went to boarding school in England, it's going to magically straighten me out? Do you even remember Mom?”-Poppy

Walang pasok ngayon at kasalukuyan akong nanunuod ng Wild child ni Emma Roberts. Hindi ko kasi alam kung sino ang ipoportray ko para sa practical namin sa Philosophy. Naisip kong si Poppy Moore nlng siguro, ayoko nang  mag-isip pa ng ibang characters eh. Tsaka my mataray naman akong side ma di gaanong alam ng ibang tao.

“Honey? Reese?” Pagtawag sakin ni Mommy.

Oo nga pala, nakauwi na dito sa Mommy, kahapon lang. Geez, I miss her.

“What is it?” Sigaw kong tanong sa kanya habang kumakain ng popcorn at nanunuod parin. My sarili kasi akong TV sa room ko.

“Your dad’s on the phone wanna talk to him?”

I rolled my eyes after hearing that. That’s the last thing I’ll do, talking to my dad. Iniiwasan ko siya after all these years. May gana pa siyang tumawag? He doesn’t even know how to pay us a visit! Well, I don’t care. I have this grudge on my father kasi.

“Tell him I’m busy.” Sigaw ko pabalik.

“Alarice.” Sabi naman ni Mommy sa labas. Note her warning tone.

“I’m busy mom, okay? I have this character impersonation that I have to get over with.”

I heard my Mom sigh, senyales na suko na siya sakin.

Xoxoxo

“How’s school?” Tanong sakin ni Mommy habang nginunguya ang pagkain niya.

“You know mom, nagdadalaga na yang anak mo.” Biglang singit ni Kuya, pinanglakihan ko siya ng mata.

“Really?” Natatawang tanong ni Mommy.

I rolled my eyes in annoyance. Pagkaisahan ba naman ako?

“Literally mom. Nagdadalaga naman talaga ako.”

“Oh yeah? Well what I mean is you being inlove my dear sister.” Natatawang saad ni kuya habang kumakain.

Walanjo to! Shut-up-or-I’ll-slit-your-throat-look ang binigay ko sa kanya.

“So you’re inlove Reese? Who’s the lucky guy?”

“Wag mong pansinin si kuya mom. He’s making it up.”

“Oh really? Kaya pala puro JARRED ang pangalan na nakita ko sa diary mo nun!”

What the!! No he didn’t!! Inis kong nilapag ang tinidor ko.

“Hey!! Ever heard of the word PRIVACY Kuya?” Inis na angil ko sa kanya.

“Okay, so tell me about this Jarred guy Reese.”

I sighed in defeat. Eto yung ayaw kong pag-usapan eh.
