Thank you for reading! Mal na mal kayo ni natoy!

“Akalain mo ‘yon, pretty ka daw sis!”

Shaine giggled like a fool beside me.

Hindi pa rin siya maka-move on sa sinabi ni Mason kanina. Habang ako inis na inis pa rin. Why is he so irritating?!

“You’re pretty daw, Eren. Pretty--- annoying! Hahaha!”

I munched my burger as I remember what happened a while ago.

“She’s.. quite pretty.”

Umani ito ng tilian mula sa mga kaklase namin. Namula ang pisngi ko saka nag-iwas ng tingin.

Hala, parang tanga..

Kinikilig na sana ako nang dinugtungan niya pa ito, “---annoying.”

“Nice one Mason!”

“Bro!”

Feeling ko wala nang mas ikaka-init pa ang mukha ko. I’m burning up with rage!

Hanggang matapos ang session at mag-break, ‘yon ang topic ng buong klase.

“At least he finds you pretty, Eren.” Shaine laughed again.

I glared at her pero mukhang masyado na siyang nasiyahan sa akin at hindi na siya nakaramdam. “Tss.”

We are here in the cafeteria of our building. Maliit man na eskuwelahan, bawat building naman ay mayroong kanya-kanyang cafeteria at restrooms, para daw ma-maintain ang maayos sistema ng paaralan. At para na din walang dahilan ang paggala ng mga estudyante sa iba’t ibang building.
Compared to my school dati, this one’s quite organized kahit na may kaliitan.

Nang mag-dismiss si Ms. Filiano sa amin, dali dali akong lumabas para makatakas sa asaran nila.

Sumunod sa akin si Shaine habang tumatawa.

Pumuwesto kami sa table malapit sa counter para hindi malayo ang lalakarin. From here, I can smell the aroma of every dishes. It makes me calm.

Bumili kami ng burger, fries at kwek-kwek. Shaine ordered iced tea for both of us.

Habang patuloy na nangaasar sa akin si Shaine, nilubos ko na lang ang pagkain. Ang sarap ng sauce nila dito kahit parang impyerno sa init ‘yong kwek-kwek.

“Hey,” someone called.

I looked up and saw the second most annoying guy to my brothers. “What do you want?” I arched my brow and shot him a glare. Sana naman makaramdam siyang inis ako sa kanya hindi ba?

He looked at me with his bored eyes and said, “Nothing.”

Ugh! He’s pissing me off talaga!

He walked away and went to his friends, I think. Shaine laughed beside me and I just continued eating.

“Baby!”

“Oh, shut up Kuya.” I fixed my uniform as I took my seat beside my brother.

Although Kuya Finn’s eighteen already, Dad won’t allow him to drive yet. Temporarily lang naman. Last time kasi na siya ang nag-drive, nagasgas ang kotse ni Dad because kuya bumped into a tree. Nakainom kasi siya nong nag-drive.

I remembered Dad being angry as hell, it was a terrifying experience for kuya. And for me, as well. Bukod sa binangga na niya ang kotse ni Dad, muntik pa siyang mapahamak. Dad is so scary when mad. I prefer my teachers being mad than Dad.
