[Mini Series] Seasons: Summer

Summer 1

Summer Seasons

We are on our way to the university where we are studying, ako at ang kakambal kong si Winter. My name is Summer Seasons, by the way. Funny right? Ewan ko ba kung anong kalokohan ang pumasok sa isipan nang mga magulang namin at binigyan kami ng ganyang pangalan. Season na nga ang apilyedo, Summer pa ang pangalan. Bagay na bagay lang talaga eh. Tsk! Eto namang si Dad pumayag pa sa kagustuhan ni Mom. Parang pinagkakatuwaan lang nila ang mga pangalan namin. Our Dad is an Australian-American, while our Mom is a Filipina but she has some chinese blood running through her. And that makes us their children, Australian-American-Filipino-Chinese. Hahaha! Filipina-Australian lang kami sa apat na yan.

We are actually four siblings. Our eldest is Ate Spring. She has already finished her degree last year. Second in line is no other than me, Summer. Ako ang matanda sa amin ni Winter. We are both in our third years in college. I'm taking up fashion design while my twin decided on taking up Architecture. I'm 21. Sa US kasi kami nag-aral ni Winter in middle school and we just decided to take college in the Philippines. Kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit marunong kaming magtagalog. Well, sa isang Christian Filipino School kasi kami nag-aral. They teach Filipino subject there, plus, sinanay kami nina Mom not to forget speaking Tagalog. And the last is our youngest, Fall Season. He's a he. He's a freshman on our university. Yan lang muna sa ngayon. Mukhang masyadong mahaba ang mga sinabi ko, which I don't usually do.

"We're here." pukaw ni Winter sa pag-iisip ko.

I gave her a smile. "Thanks, Win! I'll see you at lunch! Ciao!" I said to her bago lumabas ng sasakyan. Pero bago pa ako makaalis ay tinawag niya ako. "Yes?"
"You've got to keep it cool, Summ. It's just the first day of classes." paalala nito.

I grinned at her then flipped my hair to the side. "Oh, sis. I can't be cool. Like what my name says 'Summer', I'm hot. You should try it. Try to loosen up a bit, ayt?"

She shook her head smiling. "I guess we're really twins. It's just that, I am Winter, I have to keep it cool."

Natawa nalang ako sa sinabi nito. She is right. Winter is the kind of cold one. Minsan lang nakakakuha nang reaksiyon sa kanya ang ibang tao. I, on the other hand is the 'bitchy' type. Minsan nga binabansagan ako na Queen Bee ng school. I don't really care. As long as nasa akin ang atensiyon nila. "Bye, sissy! I'll call Fall to have lunch with us." yun lang at nauna na ako ditong naglakad. We are on the same building since art related naman ang mga kurso namin. Sa kanila sa East wing sa akin naman ay sa West wing.

While walking on the hallway, the students were moving to the sides just to give way of my presence. I smirked and walked with head held high. Dinig ko pa ang bulungan nang iba. Some are admiration but most are hates. I don't really care. Their shits won't affect me anyway. They don't really matter.

Napatigil ako sa paglalakad nang makasalubong ang grupo ng mga kalalakihan. Sila lang naman ang kilala sa East wing with their looks, intelligence and wealth. At palagi din silang napapadpad sa wing namin because of a girl.

Mukhang napansin na nila ang presensiya ko kaya napatigil din ang mga ito sa paglalakad. I raised a brow at them. Giving them the message to move aside.
"The Queen Bee is here huh?" saad ni Rolfael, the man who hates me to the highest point.

I smirked at him. Walang makaka-intimidate sakin. "Still courting huh? Poor you, it's been years and still hindi ka pa rin sinasagot? Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!" naiiling na wika ko giving him a pity look.

Halata ang pagtiim ng bagang nito. Well, he practically knows I am sarcastic. Tanga ata, naturingan pa namang matalino. "You don't simply get what you want. You work hard for it. And that's what I'm doing."
