Ever since I was young, people have mistaken me for a girl... I inherited most of the physical features from my mom and that also goes with my character. But, believe me when I'm saying this...

I AM A GUY AND WILL ALWAYS BE!!

I am a month older than my childhood friends, Julian and Jude. My exact birthday is May 28th. I have four siblings; two older sisters, a younger brother, and a little sister. And I am the third and first son of the family.

People around me are always nice because I look like an innocent little lamb; nice and sweet. But that is wrong! I am not innocent like everyone thinks and I have a vulgar mouth. That is why Julian and Romeo calls me a "witch."

 And I kinda like that.. (Doesn't know witches are females.)

Anyway, I still hate violence and I avoid and solve them as soon as possible. Like the trip, I had with Miss Theresa and the rest..

After I gave the candies to France and my message. I went straight back home; the apartment, carrying the rest of the prizes I've won (pink gorilla and another bag of candies and souvenirs).  I was greeted by my mom as I entered the house.

"Welcome back, Syd!" She smiled, carrying a tray of some snacks and ice tea. "Did you have a good day?"

"Yeah, it was fun. Here some candies and keychains as a souvenir. Give the half to my dear sisters, and Darwin (second youngest)." I handed to her and took the tray,"And I'll take this, my sisters, it's been a while since I saw them." I assumed. My mom tilts her head making a questioned mark on her face, that made me realized I was wrong and strangely reacted,

"Ah, I almost forgot! How funny of me?" She laughed at herself, "Your friends, Julian Dear and the others came to visit, they even bothered to bring cake along with them. And now hanging out with Darwin in your room."

I gave back the tray to my mother, (rather in a hasty way) and dashed to my personal space!! (my room)

And when the door...

"Brother," my third-year middle school brother, Darwin. "Welcome back, Judy and Charlie went here to play, so as Julie and Kev." He mentioned as he's surfing the net in the computer..

By the way, me and my kid brother share the same room and so does my older sisters. Since our apartment is not that spacious..

Not to mentioned, THEY even make my home more smaller as it seems to be..! My friends I mean...

"I want to say "I'm home!" peacefully.. But.." I made one of my forced smiles for this kinda case.."What are guys doing in my house..!? Didn't you know that TRESPASSING is against the law..?"

"Sidney my childhood", Jude spoke up, "For one thing, this place is an apartment. And secondly, we didn't trespass, your mother let us in when we're waiting outside of your doorstep." He corrects me that made me kinda agitated, but keep calm..! Julian pulls his brother's ear, "Do you always need to make unnecessary comments? We just did drop unannounced." He explains, but that's commonly for Julian. Charlie went to join the conversation,

"They've been stopping on my place, and since we lived next door. I thought that we visit you too." He bubbly said with his brilliant smile. I forgot that I was angry and forgive them and it's not like me being mad, so I should stop as soon as possible. But! I still scolded them in the end.
