Modern Day Monster

Chapter 3: Dumb, Dumber, Dumbest

Eden's POV

I was woken up by the sound of the alarm banging my head. "Irksome" I thought and threw the alarm creating a loud breaking sound that woke up my Romie. Barbs.

"Eden! That was the 1001st alarm that you broke since we met! Come one! Not every time you hear that ringing you'd throw it like a frigging ball!" She annoyingly shouted as she went to her dresser to get some clothes.

"Sorry but it's loud." I apologized. She gave me a sarcastic face and spoke.

"Then why the hell did you bought an alarm in the first place?! Are you dumb?!"

"To wake me up? And besides without those annoying alarms you would be late for consecutively 1001 times considering you being a heavy ass sleeper." I smirked.

"You got a poin- No! It's still wrong to just throw alarms as if they were some kind of baseball or something." I almost got her convinced but she changed her mind quickly. Smart.

"I call out dibs! I get to shower first!" I smirked as she annoyingly screamed and walked away from the bathroom. She was suppose to open it. Her hand was on the knob.

"I'll get you someday, Cheese!" She exclaimed as she plop herself back to her bed.

"Whatever, Barbie." I laughed. I won again! Yas!

I went out and saw Barbara sleeping. Ang bilis niyang matulog pero ang tagal magising.

"Barbs, gising na."

No response.

"Barbs!"

Halos hilik lang naririnig ko.

"Ah ayaw mo talagang magising ah." I grabbed the nearest clock that I had. It was quite cheep. Good thing. I threw the alarm clock which made a loud and annoying breaking sound.

"Whaaa!" Barbara screamed as she heard the alarm clock break. "Eden! Can you stop! Pwede mo naman akong gisingin ng normal na paraan! Di mo kailangang mangbasag!"

"Ah talaga? Hatdog! Maligo ka na nga." kumuha ako ng damit mula sa dresser ko. Itim na Turtle neck na long sleeves na dress lang ang pinili ko. Ayokong magayos masyado. And besides it matches my complection. Contrast sila.

"Ready?" tanong ni Barbara na tapos nang maligo at magbihis. Lagi kasi kaming sabay.

"Yeah, just a moment." kinuha ko ang bag ko at binuksan ang pinto. "Lika na."

"Eden!" Nagulat ako ng biglang may nagsigaw ng pangalan ko.

"Balak mo ba akong patayin? Kahapon ka pa, Mark ah." I faced him and to my surprise hindi siya si Mark. "Who are you and why do you know my name?"

"Ka teammate ko si Mark." He answered. Anong klaseng sagot yun? Sabi ko sino siya. Hindi kung anong relasyon niya kay Mark. Well I guess I found someone dumber than me.

"Name?" Pananaray ko. Normal lang naman kasi saking pataray yung boses. Kaya nga maraming taong takot sakin eh.

"J-john Daniel Montenegro. You can call me Daniel." The lad reached out his hand for me to shake. I looked at his hand with a questioning face. He retrieved his hand and scratch the back of his neck.

"Cute." I whispered as I walked toward the building of my first class.

Well he looked thin but still masculine. His face was well defined. I can easily locate his jawline. Pointed nose. Tan. Rounded eyes. Hair was like the guys' on Barbs wall. Long and was straight but looked kinda messed up which matches him well. Quite good looking.
