Ethan

I woke up with my head throbbing. Morning sickness gets worst on Wednesdays.

I head to my bathroom to take a quick shower. I have no afternoon classes so I'd be coming home early.

I'm peacefully enjoying myself in my bathroom when a freakin' shit disturbed me.

"Ethaaaaaan! May tumatawag sayooo!"

I am about to cover myself up when I take a glance at the mirror in front of me. My eyes automatically widened and the towel I am holding dropped at the wet floor.

"What the fuck?! What are you freaking doing in my bathroom?! Are you a perv?! Get out! Get the hell out!"

Oh shit. Never in my life did someone saw me fully naked with my manhood exposed! (Well, not before I gain consciousness)

"Bakit? May tumatawag sayo eh! Inaabot ko na nga nagagalit ka pa."

Oh men. She's crazy!

"I don't care. Just get the hell out of here, out of my sight and better, get outta my life!"

She's the worst sickness I ever had! Ever!

She just stared at me innocently like she's trying to figure out why I was shouting. She's hopeless. But heck, how long is she gonna be in here seeing me all naked?!

"Aren't you getting out?!"

"Pero tumatawag---"

"I said get out!"

I cut her off.

"Bakit--"

"Get. Out."

She finally stormed out of my bathroom after peaking one more time with her moistened eyes.

Is she crying?

Hell I care.

After that incident she acted as if nothing happened. So I better not make a big fuss out of it. She even cooked my breakfast but I said I am on hurry and don't have time to eat. Honestly, I have an hour to spare. I'm just so pissed off and don't wanna see her face.

Tama na nga ang kakaenglish. Nauubusan na ako.

As usual, dinaanan ko si Jake sa bahay nila.

"Kuya, sino ba yung babaeng nandun sa bahay niyo?"

I heaved out a sigh.

"I don't know. Stranger."

Bakit? Totoo naman eh! Hindi ko siya kilala. But she reminds me of someone kaya naiinis ako sa kanya.

"I like her."

Nanlaki nanaman ang mata ko. Ang pervert na baliw na ewan na iyon?! Gusto ni Jake?! She's way older!

"No. Not that way. I like her as a person. As a friend, maybe."

He knew what I was thinking. Akala ko naman.

"She's crazy. Got some mental problems."

Natawa naman siya. Totoo kase.

"Sobra ka naman. She may look innocent but crazy and that makes her interesting."

Sinilipan niya kaya ako. Di ko nga maatim na makakasama ko yun sa bahay eh.

Dumiretso na si Jake sa school niya. She isn't interesting.

Let's think about it.. she's sometimes cute.

Nilinis ko muna ang buong bahay nila Ethan bago ako nagbihis ng damit at uhm.. underwear na pinahiram din sakin ni tita Marga. Hindi pa naman daw gamit yung undies. Hehe.

Magshoshower na ako nang mapansin ko yung kwintas ko..

It's just pure Sapphire. So small yet so gorgeous.

Hindi ko na tinanggal. Sinabi sakin ni Spirit na kahit kelan hindi ko to pwedeng tanggalin.

He said it could give me the power to stop time and heal and other things I want to.

After I manage to wear tita Marga's clothes, aalis na sana ako pero hindi ko pala alam ang nga bibilhin. Jeez.

Sakto naman at dumating na si Ethan. Pipilitin ko siyang sumama! Yiiis!

"Ethaaaaaaaaaaa---"

Bago pa ko makalapit sa kanya ay hinarang niya na ang palad niya sa mukha ko causing me to shut up.

"Stop making my name so long. You're noisy and annoying as well so shut it."

Pinalo ko ang braso niya para maalis ang kamay niya sa mukha ko. Ang sama niya.

"Okay. Basta samahan mo ko magpasa ng resumé tapos bibili ako ng damit tsaka mga gamit. Pleeeease?"

"Are you nuts? There's no way I'll go with you."

Sumimangot naman ako. Wala naman kasi akong kaalam alam. Pano ba to?

"Enough with that face idiot."

"Pano naman? Eh ayaw mo akong samahan. Hindi ko alam ang bibilhin. Sige naaaaaaaaa. I won't stop bugging you sige ka."

Inirapan niya naman ako. Aba. Ang taray ha! Unfair! How can he make that eye roll so manly?!

"Ethaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan."

Still doesn't work.

Umupo lang siya sa sofa. Alam ko na kung pano to kukumbinsihin.

Tumayo ako sa harap niya. Hinawakan ko ang dulo ng tshirt na suot ko at unti unti yong tinaas hanggang sa pusod----

"STOP THE HECK DOING THAT! I'LL GO. I'LL GO. PUT YOUR SHIT DOWN!"

Pinigilan kong tumawa. Kinagat ko nalang ang dila ko. Hahahaha! I knew it. Navels are his weakness.

Ethan

Fuck. Umakyat ako sa kwarto ko para magpalit ng damit pero dumiretso muna ako sa Cr ng kwarto ko.

How can she be like her at all ways?!

Sniffing my neck

Caressing my hair

Saying 'kimchi'

Knowing that navel thingy

Her pouts

The way she talks

Moves

Everything.

Kung nasa katawan niya lang siya, I'd probably think they're the same. But that's too impossible. Two different persons can never be the same. I was so soon to get a step higher at my state of moving on but here she came, ruining all the two years. Ruining all the efforts I exert to move on. Because the moment I met her, I felt like all the happenings back there came rushing back at me, AGAIN.
