Our Substantial Hopes (High School Teen Series #1) [COMPLETED]

6

Today is Monday and I woke up earlier today. We have a performance task in our Physical Education. I already prepared my P.E uniform and I took a shower.

Isinuot ko na ang P.E ko at pinili kong pares ng sapatos 'yong puting sneakers ko. Bumaba na rin ako para kumain at agad nakita si Daddy sa hapag.

Nakalimutan ko, binawasan niya pala 'yong baon ko dahil late akong nakauwi no'ng Sabado. Hanggang ngayon 'di pa rin kami nag-iimikan.

"Ma'am, Vickie! Kumain ka na po rito," sabi ni Manang nang makita ako.

Umupo na ako at kinuha 'yong fried rice at chicken. Tinignan ko si Daddy at abala ito sa telepono niya. What's with the atmosphere between us? Nasaan na ba si Mommy?

"Manang, saan si Mommy?" I asked her when she came near me, serving the pitcher of water on the table.

"May inasikaso po sa kwarto niya, Ma'am," she answered and I just nodded.

"Good morning, little sis!" bati ni Kuya nang makababa at agad tumungo sa hapag.

We looked at each other. He raised his eyebrow, I think he noticed the tension between Daddy and me. I immediately grabbed my phone from the table and chatted him. I used my instagram account.

victorieee:
Galit si Daddy sa akin.
Need help binawasan
niya baon ko.

Christaph:
What did you do to
made him grumpy
early in the morning?

victorieee:
Late akong nakauwi
no'ng Sabado.

Christaph:
Akala ko nakauwi
ka na matapos niyong
magdisenyo?

"Enough with your cellphones!" My body suddenly trembled, when Daddy shouted in anger.

We decided to put it down and we started to eat. We just made him angrier. 

Dali-dali naming tinapos ang pagkain at nang matapos na kami agad akong bumalik sa kwarto para magsipilyo.

"Bad timing talaga," I murmured while putting some toothpaste on my toothbrush.

Ang sobra naman niya kasi masyado. Hindi naman sa masamang tao 'yong kasama eh, mabuti na nga lang nakauwi ako ng ligtas. Kasi kung iba pa 'yong kasama ko malamang may nangyari na sa'king masama.

Thankfully, he didn't see Zack when he drove me home. I can't even imagine what will happen if he saw him. I sighed and just shook my head and finished what I'm doing.

We had already gone outside the house. Kuya Tope already prepared the car. I went inside and the same goes for him. I wore my seatbelt and turned on the air conditioner.

Kuya was already driving the car. I was in deep thoughts, thinking about Daddy's reaction. I immediately came back to my senses, when Kuya asked something.

"Ba't ka natagalan nang uwi no'ng Sabado?" he asked bizzarely.

"We just ate... sa isang pizzahub," I simply said.

"What do you mean by 'we'?" He emphasized the last word

I glared at him and his face look more confused. He suddenly raised an eyebrow.

"Where did you put your brain? O wala lang talagang laman iyang utak mo ngayon," I said irritatingly as I sighed.

"Are you mocking me?" he asked with his wide-opened eyes.
