*KRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNGGGGGG*
First day of school and my head is spinning like a there’s no tomorrow. I hit the snooze button and grab my phone. Damn hangovers! Hish. 23 missed calls and 7 messages from Ianne and 5 messages from Jake. I opened Ianne’s messages… *Hey, pick up!* *Are you mad?* *Talk to me da, pick up!* *Talk to me, it’s not funny anymore. Stop it, please.* *did I do something wrong?* *Hey! I’m getting worried pick up your damn phone!* *Blake Alexander Hernandez, are you going to pick me tomorrow? We’ll talk tomorrow, see you. Night, Sleep Well* yikes! I’m doomed. I hurriedly get up, take a quick shower, wore my uniform and go downstairs.
”Mom! Did Ianne called you last night?” “Yes honey. She sound so worried so I told her you’re with your friends. By the way, breakfast is ready. Come here and join us.” I searched for my shoe, grabbed my backpack and sit beside my younger sister. “Good morning kuya” she greeted me and gave me a kiss on the cheek. I just pat her hair and smile at her. “Where’s dad?” I asked. “He left early. He was going to look you at your room but it is locked.” “Oh, maybe he was going to check my paper works for my project.” I quickly finish my breakfast and say farewell to them.
“Wait kuya. Can you buy me some hairclips? I lost my last four clips yesterday.””Sure, Princess. Be obedient, okay? Bye.””Yes kuya. Love you” I kissed her on her forehead and told her that I love her too.
While I’m driving, I called Ianne. She made me smile when she picked it up quickly. I thought she is mad. “uhmm..Hello? Da?””Hey, baby. I’m sorry I’m not able to answer your calls last night. Did I make you worry too much?””It’s okay, I understand. Yes.” she said softly and I hear her giggled.”Are you going o pick me up?” she added. “Yes. Actually, I’m on my way now.””What? You’re driving while you are talking to me?”Her voice became a little bit loud and that makes my smile wider.”Yes””Put it down! Put it down! Hard-headed!” she is panicking for sure.”Calm down, baby. Alright, see you. I’m almost there.””*sigh* Okay. Take care, daddy. I love you.””Bye. I love you more, baby.” I hit the end button and put my phone down. It’s only 6:15, it’s too early. I looked outside the window and I saw her. I parked the car in front of their house.
“What happened to your eyes?”She didn’t answer. She just looked away. “Did you cry? Your eyes are swollen.” She didn’t answer again. “Hey. You said we’re going to talk? Speak to me Ian (pronounced as yan).”
”Sorry. Yes, I cried. I cried because of you, hard-headed!”She slightly punched me at my arm.”Geez, I’m sorry. I’m sorry. It will not happen again. I’m sorry if I make you worry too much. I’m sorry, okay?”She nodded.”Come here. I miss you” I pulled her and hugged her tightly.”Did you eat already? Does your head hurt?”She asked.”Yes and yes. How about you?””No. Not yet. Let’s go inside. Auntie cooked pasta. Do you want to eat again?”She smiled. She still looks beautiful even though her eyes are swollen.”Nah. I’m full. I am just going to watch you eat.””Okay. Do you want coffee, juice or anything?”
”No, baby. Just water””Ok. And some biogesic. Right?””Haha. Yes please.”She gave me the medicine and eats at the table. I greeted her auntie a great morning and take the medicine she gave me. My phone rang so I excused myself. I looked into the ID caller and to my surprise the caller is Neiji, my closest friend in the brotherhood.
