Once Upon A Dare

Chapter 1

*Knock Knock*

"Andrea, baby? Wake up na, 'nak"

"Yes, mommy? Wait po nagbibihis pa po ako, kakatapos ko lang po magshower"

"Open the door, baby" sabi ni mommy na kanina pang nagaantay buksan ang pinto

"Aba! Nahihiya ka na sa mommy mo, 'nak? Noon ngang 14 ka na, pinapakuha mo pa ako ng underwear mo eh, and sometimes ako nagpapasuot-----"

"aaaaaaAaaaaaaAaaahhhhhhhH! Mommy! Eto na nga! It's too embarrassing! Dont let me remember those times please. I already grew up, mom!" dali dali kong binuksan ang pinto nang nakabusangot ang mukha. Remembering those times makes me feel so embarrassed! I'm so childish the past years kasi!

"Hahahahaha! Okay, I'm sorry. My precious looks so beautiful talaga like me!" Sabi ni mommy at sabay hug sakin

"Mommy, what time is it? Ba't parang matirik na ang araw?" sabi ko habang nagsusuklay at tumingin sa bintana

"It is already 8:33 am na 'nak. Anong oras ba pasok mo?"

"What?! I have to go now, mom! I'm already 20 minutes late!" sabi ko at nagmadaling bumaba

"Wait, 'nak! Have a breakfast first! Please, take care of yourself first, baby!" nagalalang sabi ni mommy sakin

"Mom, I'll take my breakfast in school. I'm so late na po kasi. I'll go now, mom! Send my good morning to dad! I love you both!" hinagkan ko sya at nagmadaling lumabas ng mansyon

"I love you too. Promise to take your breakfast, okay? I already told Manong Ben to drive you to school." Kumaway si mommy

"Yes, mom! Thanks!" Sabay flying kiss kay mommy!

Pagdating ko sa school hinarang agad ako ng guard.

"Miss, ID mo"

"Guard! Can't you see? Im wearing my uniform! Ba't kailangan pa ng ID?!"

"Sorry, miss pero ang laki na nga nyang NO ID, NO ENTRY na ipinalagay ng school head" at tinuro nya ang NO ID, NO ENTRY na sign sa gilid ng gate

"Look, I'm so late na! Can you please get out of my way and let me in?!" naiirita na ako sa guard na to ha! Palibhasa bago kaya ganito

"Sinusunod ko lang po ang patakaran ng eskwelahang ito. Bawal po kayong pumasok"

Baka gusto nyang makatikim ng suntok?! Late na nga ako eh tapos paharang harang pa sya dyan! Palibhasa di siguro pinapasok ng guard nila nung nag aaral pa sya kasi wala din sigurong ID na suot! Kaya ganyan sya kung makapagharag sakin! I don't have any choice but to look for my ID inside my bag kasi pag hindi malalate lang ako ng todo.

"Oh, eto na po! Kaya sana naman umalis na kayo sa harapan ko kasi late na late na ako!" I placed my ID close to his eyes for him to see that I am really a student in this school!

Agad nyang binuksan ang gate at pinapasok ako. Wala akong ibang ginawa kundi inirapan sya at tumakbo na.

Pagdating ko sa room ay walang teacher. Tinanong ko ang kaklase ko kung bakit at sabi na absent daw kaya wala. Hiningal ako kalatakbo tapos eto lang pala kalalabasan? Walang teacher? Jusko naman! Umupo na ako sa upuan ko at kinalma ang sarili

"Hey, Dre! Ba't ngayon ka lang?" tanong ni Xhane sa akin. They call me Dre short for Andrea. Ayaw nila akong tawaging Drea kasi napaka pabebe daw ang dating kaya Dre nalang

"Hay naku, Xhane! Di ka pa nasanay dyan kay Dre? Eh palagi naman yang late!" sabi ni Trixie sabay make face

"Hindi naman palagi ah! Nagkakataon lang talagang late akong magising" pagdedepensa ko

"Sus kunware pa!"

*ting* *ting*

My phone ringed and as I opened it I saw a message from my mom

Mommy:

'Nak don't forget your breakfast. Me and your dad will pick you up later. Take care! I love you!

Ako:

Thanks for your reminder, mom! I almost forget it! Ahhaahha! I'll wait to you two later! I love you too!

Muntik ko ng makalimutan ang breakfast ko. Gutom na din ako kaya inaya ko mga kaibigan ko

"Guys, let's go to the canteen. I didn't eat breakfast earlier."

"Give us a valid reason why you didn't eat?" sabi ni Trixie na parang nanay kung makapag sabi sakin. Since I am the youngest, they're so protective to me. They treat me as their baby sister. That's why I am so happy to have a friends like them

"Because I'm late?" sabi ko at nag ngiting aso sa kanilang dalawa

"Even if you're already late you have to eat breakfast first before going to school. Kasi useless din kung papasok ka pero wala ka namang energy." mahinahong sabi ni Xhane sakin

"Tapos kung hindi ka kakain, hin-----"

"I promise not to do it again. So please shut up and let's go now! Im hungry!" sabat ko kay Trixie kasi kung hahayaan ko lang syang pagsabihan ako ay siguro Di na ako makakain

Papunta kami ng canteen at dumaan kami sa basketball court. May naglalaro ng basketball and I suddenly noticed the guy with dark gray hair and he's wearing a white long sleeves. Siguro kakadating lang kaya ganun ang suot. I looked away and nagpatuloy kami sa paglalakad patungong canteen.

"Hi Dre! I'm looking forward for our comeback!"

Iyon agad ang sumalubong saakin pagdating namin sa canteen.

"Can you please get out of my way?" iritang sabi ko sakanya at lumiko nalang ng kunti upang malagpasan sya. Umagang umaga tapos sasalubongin nya ako? Ang kapal a?

"Dre, did you skip again your breakfast? I already told how many times before that you have to eat breakfast before going to school right?" sunod lang sya ng sunod saakin kahit hindi ko naman sya pinapansin.

"Dre, i have a game tomorrow. Can you watch?"

"Can you please shut up? You are really good at ruining my mood huh? Can you please go away? Can you please dont come near me? Nakita ko lang mukha mo, I think Im gonna vomit. And please? Can you please stop calling me Dre? We aint that close tho." nilagpasan ko sya at tumunganga lamang sya na para bang hindi makapaniwala sa narinig.

He's supposed to be my current boyfriend. He is supposed to be the one that I love. I am supposedly willing to sacrifice everything for him. But he ruined everything. He broke my trust. I know I aint really that pretty, but I know I deserve to be loved and respected. Sa lahat ng sakripisyo kong ginawa para sa kanya, sa lahat ng bagay na ginawa ko upang mapasaya sya, upang hindi sya malunhkot.... pinagpalit lang nya ako sa isang babaeng makati? At ngayong wala na sila, mag aaligid sya sakin? Hindi naman ako ganun ka tanga sa kanya pero putangina nakakagago na. Ang kapal ng mukha nyang magaaligid sakin. That moment was a scar on me. But as expected, I already moved on. I deserve someone better, i know it. I dont deserve him... a guy like him.

Nang matapos akong kumain ay pumunta kami saglit sa field. Matirik ang araw ngunit napaka sariwa ng hangin.

"Tatanggapin mo ba ang alok nyang makipagbalikan sayo Dre?"

"Why would I? Akala naman nya na ang gwapo nya. Ang kapal ng mukh-----" I saw again the guy at the basketball court. I cant help but to stare at him. He looked like a cold-hearted angel sent from above. Hindi ko maitatangging gwapo nga sya.

"Yo Dre? Tulaley? Sino yung lalaking yun? Bat kung makatitig ka....." nanunuksong sabi ni Xhane. Inirapan ko na lamang sya. Lumapit sya kay Trixie at bumulong.

"I think I know what will I dare to her."

"Bubulong na nga lang, yun pang dinig na dinig naman" umirap ako at umuna nalang maglakad patungo sa room.
