Confusion

The six-am alarm clock I set interrupted my dream. Even though I dont want to wake up yet, I still have to get ready for later.

I ate my breakfast with my mother when she opened a weird topic. "Anak, Francisco told me na may lakad daw kayo. You didnt even cared to tell it to me, nor magpaalam." Maktol ni Mama. Weird.

Bakit weird? kasi wala naman talaga siyang paki dapat ee. Pag kami kami nila Stor at Rei di naman sya ganon.

"Ma naman, I have a plan on telling you naman po. Its just that baka po di mo ko payagan since kakagala ko lang kahapon." Half-heartedly, I said the truth with a lil bit of white lies.. Ayoko talaga sabihin since I still feel like a disloyal daughter who cheated on their own business. Pero I guess okay na yon kesa masanay akong di nagb-bayad, di 'ba?

"Ano ka ba naman, anak—" Di niya natapos ang sasabihin ng biglang kumatok ang isang tauhan, kailangan raw si Mama.

"Sige na Ma, puntahan mo muna. Mauna na po ako." Sabi ko habang nililigpit ang pinagkainan ko at tinakpan ang di pa tapos na pagkain ni Mama.

"Ingat kayo 'don, Anak." Sabi nito bago umalis.

While washing the weird big amount of dishes, my thoughts wandered to my dream from last midnight. In the tub.

I then felt the urge to do a special chapter for Behind The Mask, my already completed story which genre is horror.

Hours after, Franchesca did what she said yesterday. The only difference is he dont have any friends with him, only with Dylan. Frans looked pissed.

Bago ko sila puntahan, I took my last glance at the mirror to check if Im ready na. Wearing a black loose long sleeved polo dress with a belt, I felt contented.

Lumapit na ko sakanila habang may ngiti sa labi. "Hey," I greeted to have their attention.

"Omy," Frans looked at me, shocked. "You look stunning, Chrisain! Bagay ang suot mo, tumitingkad kaputian mo!" Masaya nitong sabi.

Pinamulahan ako ng pisngi dahil sa mga sinabi niya. My eyes dropped to Dylan which is looking at me, I mean Im not sure since I cant see his eyes with his dark shades. He's talking with somebody on its phone, and when I realized na tinititigan ko na sya, agad kong iniwas ang mga mata.

"Thank you! You too, frans!" I said, complimenting him back. "By the way, I thought you're with your friends?" Of course, Im curious to what happened with the change of plans.

"Oh, Mom said na tayo tayo nalang raw muna, you know get to know each other." Mga nanay talaga! He ended it with an irap.

I think its fine naman with Dylan around, right?

Nagpaalam muna ako kay Mama bago kami lumabas at tumigil sa harap ng kotse.

I stopped na nagpalingon kay Frans sakin. "Who will drive?" Duda kong tanong. Are they already legal? Of course, I dont want a mugshot if ever!

"Dylan. And, We're 18 already! Legal na. Dont tell me you're younger than us?" Agaran nitong sabi the reason why I shyly nodded. "Gad, You look mature na! No offense. The kind of mature na sophisticated pero baby face ganon hehe! Never thought you are younger! Ilang taon ka na ba?" Pranka nitong saad.

"Fresh seventeen." I joked. So they're a year older than me?  Hmm, interesting.

"Tara na." Di makapagintay nyang saad. He was so excited, sabunutan kita diyan ee.
