Affirmative.
"Soriel, I'm really sorry last night. That just not right" tita call me early in the morning, and I'm not even full awake yet.
Napa ayos ako ng upo habang nag pupungas pa ng mukha at medyo na ha-hapo dahil sa biglaang pag upo. "Tita..I'm sorry I just wake. No its alright po.." lumunok ako ng laway dahil sa panunuyo ng lalamunan.
Kaya medyo garalgal pa ang boses " No! it's not even right, you shouldn't have seen anything like its disgraceful" pa hesterya niyang sabi
I know tita for a long time and treat her like my mother and I know she won't let anything shameful just pass by.
"No..actually tita-"I tried to say that its fine as usual but she cut me off
"No, Soriel anak. Force behavior last night is not acceptable, you two should get along instead!" she said dead serious.
Lumapit ako sa coffee table at inopen ang tumbler para uminom ng tubig, tita must be really embarrassed last night to call this early in the morning.
"Don't worry about it na hija, Force have to apologize to you for what happened-"
"I'm not apologizing!" I heard a very manly and low baritone voice in the background cut tita off.
"Oh come on! Shut up and do what I'm telling you" tita also fire up
Napa hilot ako sa sintido dahil sa kaunting hilo, is it bad that I glad tita forcing Force to be with me? I don't know.
"Anyway hija, dito kana mag dinner. Susunduin ka ni Force ng four so be ready okay? bye" nawala na ang kabilang linya bago pa man ako makapag salita, di ko alam kung natutuwa ba ako o naawa kay Force.
Sa isipan ay ang gwapong mukha nito bumigat ang dibdib ko, bumigat din ang pag hinga ko at nangiti. I don't know what's this feelings name but I completely weirdly loving it.
Grade twelve high school, nang nakilala ko ang Lucero. They were one of the counselor in the school that I'm in, but I got in not because of connection, money and influence but because of my brain.
I am scholar and as a scholar I have to maintain my grades, but unfortunately I'm not good at academic. I'm just fast learner that I can easily adapt so my dumbness covered by that, I was eighteen when I realize I need to make a tons of money so I decided to observe the behavior of the most influential name here in the school.
The family who have the most influential name is the family who has the most money, I adapt their life-style, strategy and anything that visible to my eye even the most unnoticeable.
Lucero own almost the whole school, and to get close to them seems impossible for someone like me. Who have no name, no money, no connection and no influence.
I roam around start my very own business here inside the school, feeling brave for there is no rule or law that what I'm doing is Illegal.
There I met Luca, who also have the same mindset as mine. Don't know but he kinda make me feel uneasy sometimes, for he talk like he's pursuing me or something like that.
He is submissive and sweet to me, at first I fake my name when he asked me because I hate guys bothering me. But I regret when I found out I badly need him, and eventually become my closest friend.
Because I'm material minded, I have no friends or what only Luca kasi kailangan ko siya. Katulad ko siya, business minded praktikal at mulat sa real world only that he have a great brain.
At first hindi ko siya binibigyang pansin masyado kaso...mahirap talaga ang stats at accounting kaya importante si Luca sa buhay ko.
I approach him for the first time, kahit pa middle class lang ako lumaki akong sopistikada. Palaging maayos sa sarili, palaging galante, palaging may alahas na suot, maaring na adapt ko na din ang buhay ng mga rich kid dito sa paaralang ito pero ganoon na ako bago pa man ito, mas na hasa lang kaya nakaka sabay ako sa damitan at kultura nila dito.
