"End, are you sure you're okay?"I wanted to say no I'm not okay, pero hindi pwede. Ayaw kong mag-alala pa 'tong kapatid ko. Ayaw ko nang mandamay pa.
7:02 am. I'm currently eating, wearing my uniform.
"What happened yesterday, End? Bakit bigla kang umalis ng party?"
I was caught off guard. I didn't know what to say. I can't think of any valid reasons. My mind was off. I was.. speechless.
"Well. We all know End, she hates boring."
Thank, God, my sister loves me. I looked at her and she was smiling at me, I, in return, smiled back.
"No offense, but that party was seriously boring. I wanted to leave like End did but I was too shy to even do it." My twin brother, added.
Hindi ko alam kung ano ang nakakatawa pero bigla na lamang tumawa si Dad. He was the only one laughing. Mom was serious, Eadan, my twin brother, was also serious, Efida, my sister, was the same as Mom and Eadan was. Minsan talaga, hindi ko maintindihan si Dad.
"Sorry, that was too funny.. hahahaha.. of course that was boring, Eadan. Puro matatanda ang kasama natin, paanong hindi magiging boring? Hahahahaha!"
I, seriously, don't get that. Kahit naman ngayon ay matatanda ang kasama namin. No offense, Mom is 43, Dad is.. 46. Lol.
"Kung makapag-salita akala mo bagets." That was a whisper but it was loud enough for everyone to hear it.
"For your information, Dan. 46 is not old, it's 'matured', you get me, son?"
"Dirty old guy is the right term, Dad. No offense, but truth hurts."
Gosh, this guy is crazy!
"Hahahaha! Nag-mana ka talaga sa akin, Eadan."
Eadan smirked, "Not physically, though." he proudly added.
I rolled my eyes, "I really wish you were adopted, Ed."
He immediately moved his sight to me and widened his eyes, not believing what I just said, "How dare you! You're my twin!"
Rolling my eyes, "Who the hell cares."
。。。
"Bye, twinnie! Recess and lunch together, okay?"
I ignored him and headed towards my classroom. If you're looking for my friends, I'm afraid you won't see them. The truth is, they're invisible. Seriously, I have no friends. Sad truth. I'm friendless..
"And here comes the silent but deadly woman! Hi, End!"
But I have fans. Lol.
I silently entered the classroom, heading to my assigned seat. Nag-taka ako nang makakita ako ng bag na nakalagay sa katabing upuan ko. Sa pagkakaalam ko ay wala naman akong katabi. No one wants to sit beside me.
Wanna know why?
I introduced myself infront of the class like this, "I'm End and don't talk to me if you don't want your life to end.", and that's when it all started.
"Wanna know who's the new guy?"
It caught my attention. That lady infront of me was referring to me. I slowly moved my sight to her, that's when I realized that this woman is Summer. Summer Reas, well, that mysterious woman everyone talks about. She's pretty and all but she's mysterious. She doesn't talk much. She's an observer and I really find that creepy.
"Ethes. Ethes Nithson Sicoros."
Then a sudden memory hit me. It was Night. The guy who used to be my bestfriend. Well, he used to.. but not anymore. Met him in elementary, but in the end, he left me like everyone else did.
"Ms. Endice Satoros? Who is Endice?"
I was, again, shocked. A teacher called me, I immediately raised my hand, a sign that I am.. Endice Satoros.
"Oh, Endice. Please, come with me, hija."
I suddenly felt nervous. Hindi ko alam kung anong problema. May mali ba akong nagawa?
I stood up and followed her, before I could even leave the classroom.. I bumped into someone.. but not just someone, my ex-bestfriend, Ethes Nithson Sicoros.
"E-end?" I was taken aback when my name came out of his mouth.
I gave him a small smile, "Oh, hi, Night."
Encountering him was not part of my to do list, even the replying to him part. I never wanted this to happen but I saw it coming. I knew this would happen, yes I do, but I never expected that it would happen this early.
"Endice, is everything okay?" Mrs. Jannine said, breaking the intense staring contest between Night and I.
I gave him one last small smile and silently followed Mrs. Jannine.
"Do you know him?"
It caught my attention. She was seriously looking at me. Why does this woman care?
I looked at her for straight 3 seconds and immediately moved my sight somewhere else.
"Ex-bestfriend." Answering her dumb question.
