First day of school na and I'm still sleepy as hell..

Knock knock knock...
"Ma'am Justine gising na po pa ba kayo?"

Oh so it's our maid pala..
Every weekdays laging ganyan... nag paparounds/nagpapacheck si mommy sa aming dalawa ni Zack kung gising na kami..

"I'm awake and don't bother me."

"Okay po ma'am aantayin nalang daw po kayo ni ma'am and sir sa dining—"

"Yeah I got it just shut up and leave me alone."

Then I heard nothing... maybe she already left..
Takot kasi talaga sakin lahat ng tao dito sa house except for mom, dad, and my younger brother, Zack.

Pagtapos ko mag shower ay nag bihis narin ako for school at bumaba na sa dining room for breakfast.

"Good morning Ma'am Justine."

"Good morning po."

"Good morning ma'am."

"Good morning sweetheart, tara kain na tayo." and that's my mom.. she's very sweet which is the exact opposite of me because I'm a cold hearted living and moving organism.. she's a perfectionist, kailangan maayos lahat from the time she wakes up and the moment she drifts to sleep and it always happens repeatedly. Pag kakain ng breakfast, lunch, and dinner pinaplano na nya kung ano kakainin.... which is for me is very tiring.... what I see in the refrigerator is what I'll eat for the day.. well that's me.. pero hindi pa tapos jan ang kwento ko...

"Where's dad?"

"I'm here darling." dad said. 41 years old na si dad. 2 years older lang naman siya kay mom. Si dad naman semi- opposite siya kay mom because hindi siya ganoon ka perfectionist. I mean minsan pinapabayaan na ni dad si mom mag decide sa other things but pag alam na ni dad na sumosobra na si mom ay sinasabihan na niya ito.

"Where's Zack?

"Hay nako yan talagang kapatid mo ang bagal bagal kumilos."

"My, kalma lang ha?"

"Sayang kasi ang oras dy, kesa 50 minutes siyang makakakain ay 40 minutes nalang kasi 10 minutes late siya....." see I told you mom handles things perfectly. "Manang pakitawag na nga si—"

"I'm here." and there's my wonderful brother (sarcastic).

"Okay kumpleto na tayo let's eat na."

"Uhmm I think I'll pass at this one." - Zack

"Anak kumain ka na, breakfast is important because—"

"Mom, I gotta go I still have practice for our band—"

"Iho, anak." - dad. Kapag yan na ang sinasabi ni dad malapit na siyang mainis or magalit.
Pero tumingin lang si Zack at nag simulang mag lakad papunta sa pinto

Aba hindi pa talaga siya nakuntento kay dad ah..

Tumayo ako sa upuan "Zack, bumalik ka dito." lumingon siya sakin. He stared at me but then he started to walk to our direction. I saw in his eyes na napipilitan lang siya. What can I do? He's very hard headed, well actually we both are but I have respect for our parents, he already crossed the line. Pero buti naman at sa akin sumunod siya. You see? Ganun kalakas ang dating ko sa mga tao even sa brother ko, who knows my weaknesses and little secrets. He sat sa chair next to me. "Let's pray" sabi ko when I noticed that we were just waiting for each other to start a conversation. We prayed and started eating.

"Ay mga anak bago ko makalimutan go home early today ah because we need to talk about something." - mom

"What is it about?" - me

"About business." - dad. Ano kaya kinalaman namin sa business nila?

"K gotta go.. Zack tara na sabay na tayong pumasok."

Tumayo na kami ni Zack at nag paalam na sa parents namin. Sumakay nako sa car ko while Zack ay sumakay sa motorbike niya.

We got to the school at the same time ni Zack kaya sabay narin kaming nagpunta sa college building. After getting our schedule we separated ways because we have different classes.. Zack is 1st year in college while I'm in 2nd year.

Pag akyat ko ng stairs ay naririnig ko na ang ingay ng mga students sa classrooms sa hallway palang. It's kinda irritating ... so I went straight to my class and pag pasok ko ay puro daldalan a nila ang narinig ko but when they saw me parang bigla silang nakakita ng multo. Bigla silang tumahimik. Ng madatnan ko yung mga friends ko I went to the sit na vacant.

"Hey Justine, long time no see." That's Sebastian but I call him Basti. His my best friend among all my friends. We've been friends since we were 4 years old.. he's smart but of course I'm smarter 😉🤓.. He's very tall, has light skin, blue highlights, and his hair is messy like he didn't took a bath this morning but it looks good at him though.

"Hey Bieber wazzup?" And he's Charles. Very playful cause he's the youngest among our circle of friends. He's also tall (all of my guy friends are tall), his skin looks a little pale, his hair is dyed white with a little orange highlight in the front (it only looks like a thick line). And yeah, he calls me Bieber and I hate that. You get it right? Why he calls me Bieber? Cause my name is Justine and there's a singer named Justin Bieber... anyway........

"Stop calling me with that name Charles Maria." Yeah, he's second name is Maria because his mother's name is Maria. Well I don't know what got into her head to name he's only son Maria while her daughters (twins) are named Mario for there second name.. funny right?

"Shut up" - Charles said irritatedly

"Pikon talaga kahit kelan." - Mark

"Sobra. Sinabi mo pa." - Mike

Ayan namang dalawang yan ay hindi mapaghiwalay. Kung nasan ang isa nandun din ang isa. They're cousins and close ang family nilang dalawa that's why sabay silang lumaki. Mag kasing edad pa sila. Sila din ang may pinakamalaki at malakas ang katawan sa friends namin. Ang kaso lang ay they have opposite eye features.. Mike has circular eyes while Mark is a chinito. Mike doesn't have dye in his hair while Mark has dyed bleach color blonde at the end of his hair (search weeklychris/chris collins, a youtuber. He dyed his hair with color blonde at the end of his hair... I think it's ombre if you call it).

"Okay class let's start." Yan na pala si prof..
