ALL EYES ON US

(Sorry for grammar and typographical error. Mianhe.)

*KLING! KLANG! BANG!*

"Jordan! Blair! It's already 6:30 in the morning, for Christ sake!"

Punyeta. Ayan na naman tayo. Katutulog ko pa lang e! Di ko trip pumasok ngayon. Lalo na sa tuwing naaalala ko yung kagabi. God! Kaya lang pag di ako pumasok makakasama ko naman sa loob ng bahay na to si Japs. Aba, makisig. No thanks!

"What the hell, Andrew?! Ang aga-aga napakaingay mo! Dun ka nga sa inyo!" Hiyaw ni Kuya.

"I'm waking them up. What's wrong with that?"

"Hayaan mo sila kung ayaw gumising! What the hell's wrong with that?! E sa ayaw nilang pumasok ng maaga!"

"I don't have the time to talk to you. I'll continue waking them up."

"Then let the other goddamn people sleep in this goddamn place, you nitwit!!"

"Kuya. Enough." Sabi ko habang pababa ng hagdan.

"I'll go get Jordan ready, Kuya Andrew."

"Hurry up."

I'm all dressed up. Hindi na nga ako nakaligo because it's freaking 6:30 in the morning when Kuya Andrew showed up! So I just pulled my hair up into a messy bun and changed into our university uniform (knee length checkered red skirt, white 3/4 polo and a gray vest and a plaid red tie).

So I walk past Kuya Andrew and open the door to Jordan's room. Tulo-laway pa ang loka.

"Hey Jordan! It's 7 am! Get your ass up!" I shouted.

She didn't even make a move so I went to the window she was facing and open the curtain to let mister sun brightens her face.

She struggled to hide her eyes from the brightness. Her face, smug from the brightness coming from the wide glass window. She turns to the other side. Slowly getting up.

"Good morning pretty little Jordan. It's quarter to seven if you don't mind."

"Ugh. I'm not planning to go to school today my cheeky little friend. I'm not feeling well."

Napansin kong medyo namamaga ang mata nya.

"Jordan. May recitation tayo sa History ngayon. Don't tell me your not going to participate because of last night's stress."

She looks shocked at first and regains her composure.

"You know."

"You said that like that was not a question. Of course, I know. Hindi ako ipinanganak kahapon."

"Damn. My eyes and head aches like hell, Blair. Ka-"

"Kaiiyak. I know. We'll talk after I get back from 'the hell' outside." I said.

"Yeah. Just tell my bros that-"

"Ako na bahala."

"Thanks, Blair. Babawi ako."

"Ice cream will be great. For the both of us."

"Haha. I know."

"Okay then. I'll go ahead. Goodluck keeping up with Kuya."

"And Japs." Pahabol nya.

Ugh. Naalala ko na naman. Yari sakin yon mamaya.

"Bye. Love you."
