I See You • Shawn Mendes [DISCONTINUED]

I was sitting in the living room and Trina, my seven-year-old sister, was changing from channel to channel when all of a sudden she jumped up screaming.

"LEXY LOOK!" She shout beside me, pointing at the TV.

I look up briefly from my phone and see Shawn Mendes being interviewed. "Uh-huh." I mumble then look back to my phone.

Trina was still jumping on the couch when mom came in. "Katrina Knightly! Sit down, before you hurt yourself!"

She plopped down beside me and hugged my arm like a koala, putting all her attention back to the pop star. I swear this kid has so much energy in such a small body.

"So, where to next?" the interviewer asked.

"I'll be going back to Canada, to Toronto, and have a show there." Upon hearing Shawn say that, I look at Trina and she was about to jump again, but I stopped her.

"Trina, calm down!" I said, laughing at me sister.

"MOOOOOOM!" She shout, making mom run to us from the kitchen.

"My goodness, anak (daughter)! I thought you got hurt!" Mom said, holding a hand up to her chest.

"Shawn Mendes is coming here." I said, and point at Trina who was doing the puppy dog eyes at our mom.

"Please, ma!"

"We'll talk when your father comes home." Mom said and went back to the kitchen.

Whenever she says that, it's already a yes, and Trina knows it. She faced me, grinning like the cheshire cat, making me laugh.

"Will you come with me Lexy?" She asked, pouting her small lips at me.

"Yeah, sure." I replied, and she jumped onto my lap hugging me tightly.

"Love you, Lexy!" She scream at the top of her lungs.

My dad came home a few hours later, with pizza.

"Ohhhhh." Trina sat down in front of me in the dining table, opening the box but was stopped by my mother.

"Trina."

My little sister just sat back down and crossed her arms, pouting like the little kid that she is.

Once we were all eating, mom brought up the topic about Trina wanting to go to the concert. My dad put a finger to his chin, pretending to think about it, and Trina went hysterical.

"I'll transfer some money to your account, Alexis." Dad said to me, Trina jumping from her seat to dad's lap, kissing him all over his face.

"Selamat ((Salamat*) Thank you)), papa!" She shouts, getting the words wrong, making us all laugh.

"You buy the tickets, okay Alexis?"

"Yeah, dad."

Trina then goes to my mom and kiss her all over the face too. This kid, I swear. She never runs out of energy.

Soon it was time for bed, but Trina, being the kid that she is, still has a ton of energy in her.

"Trina come on, let's go to sleep." Trina was still dancing around the room to Shawn Mendes. "We're going to buy the tickets tomorrow, okay?" I plead.

"But I'm so excited!" She giggled.

"If you don't sleep, I'm not going to buy the tickets and just use the money for shopping." I squint my eyes at her making her stop and jump to her bed.

"Good night, Lexy." She shout and turn her lamp off.

"Good night, mahal (love)." I laugh and turn my lamp off. "Love you!"

"Love you." And then I heard her soft snores.

"That fast, Katrina?" I mumble and fall asleep, myself.

I woke up the next day with my bed bouncing. Too early, Katrina...too early. I grab her quickly and and lay back down on the bed.

"Katrina Knightly, what time is it?"

"I don't know, mom said it was uhm...I don't know what she said, but it's time for breakfast!" She said, stumbling through her words. "And then we buy tickets!" Trina add excitedly.

I groan and roll over so I was now laying on top of her.

"Lexy! No!" She wiggled underneath me, laughing so hard.

"Girls! Breakfast!" My mom shout from downstairs.

"Come on, Trina! You don't want the shop to run out of tickets, do you?" I run downstairs, leaving Trina panicking on my bed.

After breakfast, we got to my car and went to buy tickets and go straight to the mall.

On the way to the mall, Trina played Shawn Mendes...of course.

"Come on, Trina? We're going to see him live, and yet you still listen to him?"

"Because I love him!"

"Oh goodness, itong batang ito (this kid)!" I laugh. "You're eight! What do you know about love?"

"But it's Shawn Mendes!"

"Whatever." Shaking my head at my silly sister, I park my car, finally arriving at my most favorite place. "Let's go?"

We walk in the mall hand-in-hand and just roam aimlessly, spending the whole day with my sister.
