If We were the Same

IWWTS 03

"Haaay..." Another deep sigh for this morning. Umagang-umaga para akong sobrang stress. You know, I just wanna stay at home, in my room, listen to my favorite songs and read my favorite stories from wattpad. But, sad to say that I am a grade conscious person and that's why I really need to go to school and do those different stuffs.

"Hey ate! Bilisan mo na! Yeah boy, this is exciting!" Guess who? Eh di ang kapatid ko na namang makulit. I can clearly hear his cheerful voice lalo pa't mahina lang naman ang volume ng music sa earphone ko.

"Psh, 6:40 pa lang kaya. Ang aga pa ano."

"Si ate talaga! Ang sabihin mo ayaw mo lang talaga pumasok ng maaga kasi... pfft! Anti-social ka! Earphone mo lang kaibigan mo at yang phone mo! Nyahaha. 'Di ka pa rin talaga nagbabago!" Haha. Funny! (sarcasm here!)

"Tawa pa, sige. Sana sumakit yang tyan mo."

"Spell pikon? It's S-H-Y-L-A lang naman!" Ah ganun ah!

"Eh spell bakla? It's S-E-A-N lang din naman!" His face? Epic.

"Tss. Ewan ko sayo!" Sabay kuha ng bag and walk out. I admit, mas 'pikon' talaga ako kaysa sa kanya, kaya ko lang naman siya natalo ngayon sa asaran ay dahil sa sinabihan ko syang 'bakla' na according to him, is yung sinusumpa niyang salita (for I don't even know why?).

I came near yaya. "Alis na po kami." I said after I removed my earphone from my left ear. It's very unruly to talk to her while my earphones are both in my ears, atleast I removed one. Yung kay Sean? He's already used talking to me while I'm with my earphones or headset.

"Ah, ito nga pala pinabibigay ng mommy nyo. Baon nyo raw ng makulit mong kapatid." She said while handing me a two 500 peso bill. "Oh, ingat kayo."

"'Ge po. Thanks." sabay balik ng earphone sa tenga then kuha ng bag sa sofa para makasakay na sa kotse.

"Okay so, let's continue the discussion tomorrow na lang. Goodbye class." Our last subject teacher said right after she led the prayer before dismissing us.

"Goodbye and thank you Ms. Elle." I just fixed first my things unlike the others who are very ready and excited to go home or I think magsstroll pa yung iba. Don't get me wrong, because kahit ako, talagang excited na ring umuwi pero that doesn't mean na makikipagsiksikan ako sa kanila na nag-uunahang makalabas. Buti pa nga si ma'am nga eh, nakalabas na rin agad. Pwesto niya kasi ang pinakamalapit sa pinto. I guess cleaning this room and turning the aircon off are all the janitor's work. Well, that's why I am not wondering, if studying in this school is expensive.

Without looking around, I went at the door. I was about to touch the doornob when someone suddenly grabbed my hand. Kaya naman pala hindi nya ako ginambala kaninang breaktime about sa phone niyang 'nasira' ko raw kasi balak niya pala ngayon. Kapag sinusundan ka nga naman ng malas o.

"What now?"

"Don't act like you don't know." Uggh! Not again.

"No. Bitawan mo ako." Nagpupumilit na akong makaalis sa hawak nya kaso sobrang lakas niya talaga kaya 'di talaga ako nakawala. He's now holding both of my arms. Ah ganun ah!

I gathered all my strength para matapakan ang paa niya gaya ng una kong ginawa kahapon. But unfortunately, he just avoided it. "Not so fast." He said when he suddenly pushed me against the wall, again. Uggh, ang lapit na naman ng mukha niya!

I sighed as a sign of defeat because I know that I'd never win against him. "Your phone? Okay then, I'll buy you tomorrow, swear." Yeah, I really have no choice but to replace his phone, which is according to him, ay kasalanan ko 'raw' kung bakit nasira. I won't trade my peaceful life just for this kind of nonsense. This is going nowhere. After buying that phone for him, that's it! Back to my usual life again. Quiet and peaceful.
