harvee david hamilton.

Hindi ako makatulog after that meeting with our parents.

Does that make me and Sev... fiances?

Ang awkward pakinggan. Kung mayroon man akong best friend na ituturing, siya 'yun, eh. Pero fiancee? Ang weird naman.

It's not that I don't like her to be my wife someday, it's just that I think na ang aga naman nilang nagdecide?

I hugged my pillow close to me. Nakita ko ang posters about football sa walls ko, at iba't ibang klase ng soccer balls sa isang shelf.

My life revolved around soccer, pero nang magquit sa female football club si Sev, I found myself revolving around her, too.

I feel alive when I am with her, too. Pero should it be that way?

Does she feel happy when she's with me, too? Does she enjoy being my best friend?

Am I worth of being David Harlan Hamilton's son?

I tossed and turned in my bed. Hindi ako makatulog!

Bigla namang bumukas ang bedroom door ko, at sinuka nito si Harrison, ang kuya namin.

"Ugh, go away, Harry," sabi ko, at tinakpan ang mukha ko gamit ang unan ko.

Narinig ko naman na tumawa siya, bago umupo sa bed ko.

"No, thanks. Paano kayo nagkakilala ni Romaine? Sikat sa college prep ng Delcroix 'yun, ah. Child abuse nga mga classmates ko," sabi ni Harrison, kaya dahan dahan kong inalis ang pillow mula sa face ko.

"She's the former female captain of football club and I was the male's. Nagleave siya ng club kasi lapastangan masyado 'yung members niya and she's had enough. Honestly, she's such a great captain, wala lang determination 'yung players niya. Nakakainis nga, eh. We used to be rivals sa football training pero nung magleave siya, she became my best friend," I explained, kahit na hindi ko naman talaga dapat sinasabi 'yun sa kanya.

"Oh. I understand. You have a crush on her," Sabi ni Harrison, nang nakagrin sa akin.

"What—"

"Nah, can't fool me. Good luck, bro," sabi niya, patting my shoulder, and then left me.

Magsasara palang dapat ang pinto nang sumuka ulit ito at ipinakita naman si Harley, the younger brother. Nagtakip na ako ng kumot, pero agad niya itong ibinaba.

He's in his last year of middle school, at nagpapasalamat ako na hindi niya ako maaabutan sa high school. Makulit 'tong lalaking 'to.

"Hep. Bawal 'yan. May sasabihin muna ako," sabi ni Harley, and I rolled my eyes before sitting up.

"Ano?" I asked, and then he grinned mischievously at me.

"Ang ganda talaga ni ate Romaine," sabi niya, and then left me with a grin across his face.

Abnormal.

Huli namang pumasok, si Hailee, our youngest sibling, nag-iisang babae.

"Hello, Hailee. What brings you to kuya's room?" I asked, and then hugged her.
