Bea's POV

I heard gentle knocks on my door. Inaantok pa ako kaya hindi ko na lang pinansin.

But then I suddenly felt na may umupo sa edge ng bed ko but I chose not to mind it. Antok na antok pa talaga ako.

Naramdaman ko na lang na there's someone stroking my hair. So I have no choice but to open my eyes ang look kung sino yun.

"Good morning princess, wake up na." My mom said while smiling sweetly at me.

"Good morning mom. What time is it?"

Damn, I almost forgot, may training pala kami today.

"Baby it's 6 in the morning. Diba may training ka ng 7? Bangon na dyan."

I sat first, stretched and kissed my mom on her cheeks. 

"Yes mom. I'll take a bath first."

She nodded and stood up.

"Okay. Hurry up so you can eat breakfast with us."

I nodded and hurriedly went to my bathroom para makakain na ako after. Ayaw kasi ni mom na umaalis ako ng hindi kumakain.

After taking a bath, I fixed my things and went straight to our pool side. Dun kasi usually nagbbreakfast sila mommy and daddy.

Then there I saw dad reading the newspaper while mom's reading something on her phone. Probably facebook. Hahaha. While Kuya Loel's doing his usual morning crossword puzzle. What a weirdo. Lol. Kidding.

I walked straight to kuya and kissed him on his cheek then I walked towards dad to give him a back hug. Nagulat pa siya at first, mukhang di ata napansin na nandito na ako.

"Morning dad." I kissed him on the cheek.

"Good morning Isabel. Eat your breakfast na."

I just nodded then sat beside kuya and placed bacon and eggs on my plate. I don't eat rice in the morning eh.

"Bea, what time's your training in Ateneo?"

Kuya asked without taking his eyes off his puzzle.

"7 AM pa. Why?"

I answered while still eating.

"My friend Billie, is asking me kung babalik ka pa daw ba sa La Salle. They want to know if committed ka na ba sa Ateneo so they could give your spot there to someone else."

I almost forgot about that. Nauna kasi akong nagtraning sa La Salle since dun graduate yung parents ko pati na din si Kuya.

I just shrugged my shoulders kasi I still don't have a final decision about that.

I noticed that dad placed down the newspaper and sipped on his coffee before looking at me.

"Anak, you have to decide now. You can't keep them waiting for you. You might end up losing both schools."

Seryosong sabi ni daddy. I also saw mom looking at me. Ilang araw na kasi nila akong tinatanong about dyan. Syempre they want me to commit to La Salle but they also told me na ako pa din yung mamimili ng school ko.

"I honestly don't know yet dad. They're both good in terms of acads and sports program. It's really hard for me to decide." 

Kuya chuckled and raised his eyebrows.

"Grabe, my little sister's problem is choosing between Ateneo and La Salle. How to be you po Isabel?"

Tinawanan ko siya and sinuntok ng mahina sa braso. I know he's just trying to make the conversation light.
