*GABRIELLE FRAULINE CASTRO'S*

*Monday Morning*

I stretched my arms and yawn when I heard my alarm clock ringing. I checked the time and it's still 5:00 in the morning. Bakit maaga? As you can see, being the only girl in this house, I have the responsibility to do such household chores. Ayoko namang gisingin yung papa ko just to cook for me. I know that he's tired and he will have a long day ahead working. Another thing is, I want to be independent.

Bumangon na ako and started doing my morning rituals. After that, I went to our kitchen to cook. I checked our ref para tignan kung anong pwedeng lutuin. Hmmmm.... I think ham & egg are enough.

Nagsaing na ako ng kanin then started frying the egg and ham. I still have 4 days left to practice for the try outs. Nagstart naman na akong magpractice nung sabado. Kalaro ko yung closest cousin ko na si Kuya Rem.

Playing soccer is really fun!! Everytime na naglalaro ako feeling ko nawawala lahat ng stress ko sa buhay. Ewan ko. Siguro playing soccer has been my stress reliever.

After cooking, I started eating then naligo na ako. Another thing kung bakit ako maaga nagigising kahit na 7:30 pa naman ang time namin is sobrang tagal kong maligo at magayos. It took me almost an hour to take a bath and 30 mins. to pamper. Well, siguro hindi naman na bago yun sa mga babae.

After taking a bath and pampering, I'm off to school. I just texted my dad to say that I'm leaving. Naglakad na ako palabas ng subdivision namin. 15-20 mins. lang naman ang biyahe galing samin papuntang school.

After hailing a jeepney, hundreds of 'what ifs' came to my mind. Monday nanaman ngayon. Alam kong hindi mapapayapa ang buhay ko. Pano kung may gawing masama sa akin si Kate? Alam kong may mga kakampi ako pero, natatakot pa rin ako.

I hate wars. That's my weakness. I may look strong outside but no, I'm fragile like a glass. Ayoko ng may nagagalit sa akin. Pano nalang kung wala sina Zoe? Pano nalang kung magisa lang ako? Ano kaya ang mangyayari sa akin?

I sighed. I'm overthinking too much! Don't be nega on a Monday morning Gab. I'm being paranoid. I think that's the effect of reading too many fictional stories. Well, I think I should stop reading... a bit.

"Para po." I said to the jeepney driver when I already saw the big sign outside our school.

'Haggard University est 1987'

I am crossing the pedestrian lane when I saw Justin. "Justin!" tawag ko sa kanya. Lumingon naman siya at ngumiti. "Oh. Hi Gab."

"Sabay na tayo?" nakangiti kong tanong sa kanya na sinagot naman niya ng isang tango at ngiti.

Tahimik kaming naglalakad papunta sa room namin ng maramdaman ko ang mga tingin ng mga tao sa amin. I looked around and saw some girls shooting a glare on me. Ang hirap naman pag may kasama kang sikat oh.

"Don't mind them. Insecure lang sila sayo." biglang sabi ni Justin. Napansin ata niya na naiirita ako. I hate attention, remember?

"Nakakairita lang kasi. Big deal na ba na may makasabay akong sikat?" I frankly said.

Justin chuckled then shrugged. "Maybe kasi hindi sila sanay na may kasabay akong pumasok na babae. Well, except for Zoe & Jhoanna of course." sabi niya. Ahhhhh kaya pala. I just shrugged and entered the room. Hindi ko napansin na nandito na pala kami.
