Bryce and Dawn

Chapter 8

Please read :))
The next chapters, including this, have been stuck on my drafts for ages. I'm only posting them now because I don't know how this story will go and I dont want those chapters to be wasted.

I also dont know when I can get back to writing. School has been keeping me busy and I don't have a concrete plot for this book. Unfortunately, I lost the paper which contains the outline of this story. I am also thinking of revamping this because I don't like where this book is heading. Maybe I'll unpublish all the chapters or just the irrelevant ones once I finally come up with something, but idk yet.

And to you who is still reading this, I hope you won't remove this book from your library. Someday I hope I could write again and perhaps finish Bryce & Dawn.

Stay safe and enjoy reading! ♥️

Chapter 8

"Dawn, kayo muna ni Hailee ang bahala sa bakery. Andyan lang naman si Manang Doris kung may kailangan kayo. Text mo na lang ako kung may nangyari," mama said out of the blue.

"Aalis ka?" I asked. She nodded. Teka, if she's going out, gusto ko din sumama. Natapos ko na kasi yung mga binabasa kong libro and I have nothing to do. "Sama ako."

"Hindi naman kami pupunta sa mall. Titingnan namin ng Tita mo yung lupa na pagtatayuan ng café."

Dahan dahan akong napatango. Nagpaalam na sila dahil baka daw ma-late sila, nakakahiya daw kasi sa kameeting nila if they'll be late.

It's been four days since Bryce came back and he went away again few days ago. Ewan ko ba dun sa lalaking 'yon, lagi na lang umalis. Hindi na nanatili. Anyways, umalis siya kasama si Byron at si Lola Caterina. Gusto kasi ni Lola Caterina na magbonding silang tatlo. Nakikita ko din sa newsfeed ko ang mga pictures nila.

Buti pa nga si Bryce, wala pang isang linggo dito sa Pilipinas pero kung saan-saan na nakarating. Eh ako, simula 1st week of March bakasyon na pero bahay at bakery palang ang napupuntahan. Kung libre lang ang plane tickets siguro nabisita ko na lahat ng bansa...

Ang aga aga pero sobrang boring. I want to do something fun but I have nothing to do. Natapos ko na kasing basahin yung mga libro na binili ko at natapos na din nina tita at mama ang mga orders kaya hindi ako makapag-bake.

I never thought I would say this but I miss school. Hindi man kapanipaniwala pero nakakamiss makinig sa discussion at gumawa ng assignments. Kahit si Hailee lang ang kaibigan ko sa school, namimiss ko yung mga kaklase ko na sobrang ingay.

"Dawn!" Hailee called.

I looked at her, giving her a questioning look. "What's up?"

"Yung kaibigan mo... andito na naman." she said with a hint of annoyance in her tone.

Napatingin ako sa kinatatayuan niya. Nakatayo siya sa may pintuan at nasa labas naman si Mavy.

"Papasukin ko ba?" Tanong ni Hailee pero nakapasok na naman sa loob ng bahay si Mavy. Tumitig ng masama si Hailee kay Mavy. Eto na naman sila... "May sinabi ba akong pumasok ka?"

"I don't need your approval."

"Wow!" Hailee responded sarcastically. "Kung makapagsalita ka parang ikaw ang may-ari nitong bahay! Bakit ka nandito?

From the corner of my eye, I saw Mavy's lips twitched as if he's going to say something. Pero itong maingay kong pinsan, naunahan siyang magsalita.

"Makikikain ka na naman ba? Malulugi sa'yo ang bakery e. Halos ikaw na ang umubos ng mga paninda. Sana alam mong hindi na uso ngayon ang libre! Kung gusto mong kumain, magbayad ka! Kaya nga kami nagtitinda para kumita... porque binibigyan ka nina Momsy ng tinapay, kain ka naman ng kain! Uso magbayad!"
