The Great Escape

01

I roamed my eyes around as I went down the car. This place is going to be my school now and I can't believe I really had to transfer just because of mommy. My eyes darted to my sister who passed by me and she really did make sadya to bump my shoulders. I didn't mind her before walking towards the entrace of the school, students started looking at us puzzled. Do they know each other kaya here kaya they know that we're new?

"Hi!" a girl suddenly popped beside me wearing a cheeky smile.

I'm not used to talking to di kakilala so I'm kinda weirded out. Geez, I didn't know Filipinos are this malapit! It makes me hindi comfortable!

I gave her a fake smile before walking again. No one dared to talk to me after that and I started looking for my room. When I did found it, my eyes widened when I saw the girl sitting beside the only chair left free. She smiled at me again before waving her hand making me so nahihiya na because all eyes are looking at me already!

The teacher suddenly went in so I had to go to the seat and just pretended like hindi ko siya knows. Well I really don't but ugh— she's so makulit like she's literally poking me!

"Can you please introduce yourself?" our teacher suddenly asked me making me nod.

I was the only transferee in this section and turns out that they really are magkakakilala. They were all studying here for years and here I am, transferring at grade 8 which is so nakakairita. If it weren't for my entire family moving here in the Philippines, God I think I would be masaya partying with my kaibigans.

"I'm Shenaya Melvidge, of course you don't need to make alam why I transferred but I'm nanggaling in California so... whatever," I gave up and just went straight back to my chair.

That was absolutely embarrassing!

My entire day here in school had been really boring. Good thing ay hindi na nila ako pinaulit to introduce myself in other subjects. It all went smoothly and after a while, I just found myself being so masaya upon hearing the bell. I stood up and was about to leave when the girl beamed beside me while waving her hand. "Hi! Ako nga pala si Gwyneth!" she said.

I faked a smile once again. "Nice name, sounds hamster to me!" I exaggerated for her to stop but she just laughed.

Well that should be offensive!

I rolled my eyes and went out straight to the entrace and there I saw my sister waiting in front of our car. She looked so pissed kaya I'm naiinis too, well she would make sisi to me nanaman. Is it my fault that she got out early?

"Tss, you're so slow" she said before going inside.

I shrugged my shoulders before going inside the car and focusing upon the view outside. My earphones had been my friend all the way home and I immediately went to my room to relax myself a bit. I'm still not used to the climate and all the stuffs so I'm a little home sick parin. I took a bath after that before going down only to hear noises in the kitchen. I heard my parents are here and they're talking to my sister who only knows how to drag me down.

What would she say this time?

"Let her work! She's too privileged!" my sister said making my eyes widen.

What the freak?! My gorgeous self would work? Ugh!

I can't even imagine myself riding a jeepney everyday to work. What would I say to the driver? 'Sir, payment!'. Ugh no, I don't think that's how it goes! How about 'manong make faster please I'm nagmama-hurry!'? Still a no! Oh God I'm doomed! How in the world am I going to live with that?!

"Sharm, that's too much!" daddy protested.

I stayed silent to hear them. I want to know what my evil sister would say this time. Ever since God knows when, she was really mad at me and I didn't even felt like she's my elder sister. She's literally evil in any possible ways, period.
