At My Front Door

C1 - A Rebel of a Careless Man

Chapter 1 - A Rebel of a Careless Man

Hi guys! Ako nga pala si Stephen Fulton, 19 years old from San Diego, California. Well, I'm a Filipino American by the way. I look more an American in my height, semi-muscular built and electric blue eyes and at the same time, I have Filipino looks na makikita with my raven black hair and tanned skin.

But it doesn't matter now! Baka mamaya ma-fall in love pa kayo with me. I don't want that serious relationships kasi nang nangyari sa akin yan when I was 15, happy on first pero I caught her making out with some bloke in a party, so now I only do short flings.  

I'm here para i-kwento sa inyo ang life ko everyday. Ang sarap kaya sa feeling when someone knows what you think and feel.

I think a little background about me will do. I live with my parents in our big mansion here in San Diego since I was born, syempre! Pero minsan, when I was 7, and then 12, tapos 15, we're having our summer vacations in our another mansion in the Philippines.

I'm an out-goer guy. I enjoy myself in typical American parties. Yung tipo ng party where the most popular guy or girl ang naghe-held. Sometimes, I also throw my own party sa bahay namin, when my parents are out-of-town! Hahaha! Even though I'm that fun and confident person, I still know 'some' of my limits. I don't take those illegal drugs and cigarette which my friends took, but I like drinking and being drunk!

In school, I'm not that serious so I was like 92nd in our batch. It became that worse when our circle of friends threw a massive farewell senior prank in our last day of high school, and that's the reason why our parents yell at each of us when they were called immediately by our guidance councilor yesterday.

"Enough of this! At the end of summer, you'll attend college in the Philippines! No more excuses!"

"But dad..."

"Your father is right and you'll obey us!"

"ButmomI'mnineteennowandinlegalage!"

"It doesn't matter!"

So yan ang iniisip ko now I'm here on our JS Prom. They said pag 18 ka na, you can do on your own, basta ganun, but now, they still hold me in my neck. But I still understand, kasi sa buong school life ko dito sa U.S., I always throw pranks with my friends, which gave them a severe headaches. But I never thought na aabot sa ganito. Kakayanin ko kaya ang buhay sa PH?

Oo nga pala! In our residence, I have a friend there! I'll meet him there kapag nakalipad na ako. Yes! Hindi na ako loner pagdating dun! Tapos college nga pala, eh di new friends! Why I didn't think about this earlier! So now I'm happy with my parents' decision, nakisayaw na ako with my crazy classmates here in the dance floor. I'm moving my body in rhyme with the beat of the music and to this girl who put her arms around my neck. She's really beautiful, but I'm not in mood for flirting right now. I just want to go home and sleep.
