Germaine had a normal life. Living amongst us like any other, without knowing whether there'll be a drastic change throughout or not.
Now witness a series of events unfold as she tries to live this so-called 'normal' life at a new school.
Sa dinami-dami ng pwede kong maging kapitbahay, ang tukmol na 'yun pa.
NAPAKA swerte ko talagang nilalang.
"What am I doing here? I should be asking you that. Sinusundan mo ba 'ko? No offense ah, pero di kita type."He crossed his arms.
Tch. Ang kapal talaga ng mukha.
"First of all hindi kita susundan. Second, BOLD of you to think na papatulan kita." I quirked my eyebrows.
"Tss..What are you doing here then? Hm?" He raised an eyebrow at me. Labanan yata ng kilay 'to 'ah
"Siguro dito ako nakatira 'no?" My voice was laced with sarcasm.
"Dito?" He pointed at what I assumed was his house.
"Boba mo. Not in your house." I rolled my eyes and groaned in frustration. Pogi nga slow naman.
"Fine, whatever."Sinabi niya bago binuksan ang kanilang pintuan at sinarado ito ng padabog.
"Wow ah, nakaka-hiya naman sayo. Wala manlang decency para mag paalam ng maayos. Hmph!" Nag-akma ako na susuntukin siya sa kabila ng katunayan na sinaraduhan ako ng pinto.
I continued to my path and trudged my way to our house.
I opened the door and was immediately greeted by my brother and sister.
"Ate!!" Sabay pa nitong tawag.
I have a brother and a sister, Gabriel and Gizelle. I'm 5 years older than them and believe it or not, they're twins.Naaalala ko nung bata pa 'ko I prayed for God to just give us twins kasi hindi ako makapili between a sister and a brother, as if na kakayanin nila Mama gumawa ng babae or lalaki on their own free will.
I didn't know how sex works before, okay? Stahp judging meh.
"Hey.. na'san si Mama?" Tanong ko sa mga ito.
Aminin mo, hinahanap mo din mama mo kapag umuuwi ka for no particular reason at all, right? Feel mo lang hanapin sila.
"Naglilinis." Sagot ni Gizelle at dumeretso na ang mga ito sa sala.
Ako naman ay pumunta sa kwarto ko.
Ahhh, yes, I missed you so much room.
Bago mo i-imagine kung ano'ng itsura ng kwarto ko, it isn't that grand, really. Not because we live in a villa house, doesn't mean it's ridiculously huge.
I dropped my bag on the floor, removed my shoes and plopped on my bed.
"Kung ano-anong nangyari ngayong first day, Pa'no pa kaya whole school year." I sighed.
Mag bibihis na sana ako nang may narinig akong kumatok.
"Pabukas naman po." Si Mama
My mom's quite young compared to other mothers. And she's really pretty, sure she has a few wrinkles and strands of white hair here and there, but she's beautiful, like.. really beautiful. Even I wonder sometimes if I really am her daughter, it's like she carries a literal fountain of youth in her pocket everyday.
Pumunta ako sa pinto at pinag-buksan ito.
"Bakit naman kasi naka lock pa?" Bungad nito. Very welcoming, Ma.
"Wala lang." I said trying to hide the irritation in my voice. Bawal ba mag-lock?
"Kamusta sa school?" Tanong nito at umupo sa gilid ng kama.
"Ayos lang po. Medyo masaya." Umupo ako sa tabi n'ya.
"Medyo lang?" Pag tataka niya.
"Opo. Ganun talaga Ma, first day palang naman." I said.
"Sige. Did you make friends?" I caught a glimpse of some kind of emotion in her eyes as she said that. Sympathy? Concern? Worry? I can't seem to point a finger at it.
I wanted to say I did. Pero kung sasabihin ko 'yon, she's gonna want to meet them. I can't have Mark and Chester under the same roof with my mom. Pati, Chester was just an acquaintance, and Mark..well, Mark is just a classmate.
Umiling ako. "Wala pa po. But don't get me wrong Ma, they're nice people. Uhh.. nahiya lang talaga ako?" The last part came out more like a question.
She staired at me for a good five seconds and decided not comply against it.
"Okay Ma, nice talk, matutulog muna ako, nakakapagod sa school e." I pulled her up my bed and gently pushed her towards the door.
Before she left ibinigay ko sa kanya ang macaroons na galing kay Chester.
Sinabi kong may nadaanan akong bilihan ng mga ito noong pauwi ako. She believed it and gave me a kiss on the cheek and said "Ipo-post ko 'to sa instagram." and grinned.
Si Mama talaga, mas millennial pa sa'kin 'e.
Nag bihis ako at nakatulog ng saglit. Nang magising ako oras na para kumain.
We ate dinner together and when we finished I washed the dishes.
We did our night routines and went straight to our rooms.
As I drift off to sleep inalala ko ang mga nangyari buong araw.
I met a handsome and flirty yet shy guy named Mark. He was.... friendly.
A cute and not so whimpy Chester. He gave me a box of macaroons that was probably his.
And of course a dashing looking pest. a.k.a ang mayabang tulmol. Now that I think about it, I didn't get his name. But nonetheless, he's still annoying, so I don't care.
I let those thoughts drift away as I fall asleep with one thing in mind.
Bakit puro lalaki ang nakilala ko? Seriously, where are the ladies at?
Then off I go to visit Sleeptopia.
