"We both don't know they say 'bout us,
But they don't stand a chance because,
When I'm with you, when I'm with you,
I'm standing with an army.
I'm standing with an army.
Standing with an ARMY."
...
Zeanna.
"Yeah Dad, you're the best! Wala ng bawian yan ah? Pupunta ka sa graduation namin next, next week!" Ngiting abot tainga ang ibinigay ko sa kanya before I kissed his cheeks and went my way to school.
Teka. Tanungin nyo 'ko kung bakit 'di ako kinokontra ni Dad.
Kasi, praktis lang yun noh! Geez. The kiss was just the real scenario there.
Where's my Mom, you're asking?
She's...in different place.
By the way, Annyeong! I'm Zeanna Alonzo.
Not a fan of Koreans, but I just mentioned one word there. Don't care.
I don't like them but, love English men rather, and, I'm still in junior high. Yup.
Forever 16.
Paglabas ko ng pinto ay saktong-sakto rin ang pagpasok ng green Porsche ni Tita Zara.
The hell I care.
I just rolled my eyes in that oh-so-pathetic scenario.
"Good morning Zean! Gusto mong ihatid kita sa school nyo?" She asked me the time she pulled over and see me in her car's window.
Show off.
"No thank you." I said putting my headset on and started walking away from her.
Gusto mo lang naman masolo si Dad eh. Too bad I didn't thought your flirty moves aren't that obvious.
"Sure? Akala ko kasi..." I stopped halfway in my steps as she hesitated asking me to get in her filthy car.
Still in the verge of snapping myself, I stopped myself letting my veins pop out again. Everyday.
Don't let me say the right words Zara.
And again, I rolled my eyes. Real proud for her to see me I don't like her.
You know who she is? Cos, yeah.
Damn well, I do.
She's the famous Psychiatrist who seemed to be Dad's BESTFRIEND. Pero ewan ko ba, I hate her. All about her.
See, Dad got even confused why's that Zara took up being a Psychiatrist when he really know she wanted to be an Interpreter in their sweet, knocked up years. Even her intentions are clear as day they were all bluffs.
Not even mentioning Tita Zara, I can't imagine she'll be one as one of those. You know what I mean. Her, as one of my families? Hell, I might die.
Feeling nya nga bahay nya ang bahay namin! She comes here very often and play Mom's roles! And yes, she's seducing Dad! SEDUCE! Hindi porket kahihiwalay lang ni Mom at Dad, sya na ang replacement?!
I hate her. To the nerve, back to my bones.
"Z, sinong a-attend sa Graduation mo?" Lumapit si Hansel. The girl with round brown sparkling eyes. Boys line up just to catch their breath after falling over with those beautiful eyes.
That girl wouldn't be my bestfriend if she wasn't that pretty. Kaya nga tahimik lang ako e. Nahiya ako sa inyo. Geez.
"Ano? Graduation ko? Hindi natin?" Nilagay ko na rin ang bag sa upuan ko pagkatapos mambara. "Nobody, I think." Umupo na rin ako.
