Ready For It?

Chapter 10

Chapter 10

It's Monday, 3:00AM and we will be travelling to have a short semestral break vacation.

"Ano, papasok ka sa sasakyan o iiwan ka namin?" Mama crossed her arms.

"Saglit lang 'to ma. Hindi ka pa nga tapos mag-ayos si papa eh," I replied.

"Oh siya, siya. Basta bilisan mo ang transaction mo diyan o iiwan ka talaga namin. Magbabakasyon pa naman kami." Then she head out.

I heaved a deep sigh. Kunwari naman ay kaya talaga nila akong iwan.

I scrolled at my Facebook feed. Puno ito ng pagbati ng iba't ibang teachers, students at outsiders dahil sa pagkapanalo ng Section A sa social dance competition kahapon.

Then I looked at my Facebook messenger and opened a conversation with him. Then I tapped his name on the top of the conversation. I scrolled down a bit and pressed a button until I came

Block Quinn Austin

I bit my lower lip. I told my mom that I will be quick. I need to do this.

I read the following details. This is the first time that I will block someone. I need to do it correctly.

Block on Messenger

•Quinn Austin will not be blocked on Facebook.

•You won't receive messages or calls from Quinn Austin. If you unblock, you won't receive anything that may have been sent during the block.

•You and Quinn Austin will be able to see, message and call each other in shared groups unless you leave them.

Block on Facebook

•You and Quinn Austin won't be friends on Facebook.

•Quinn Austin will also be blocked on Messenger.

I think it would be better to block him on Messenger instead of blocking him on Facebook. We will still need a little connection since we are classmates. Besides, he hasn't done anything wrong.

I tapped the Block on Messenger option.

Block Quinn Austin?

You will not be able to send messages to or call each other. The conversation will stay in the Chats unless you swipe to hide it.

Once again, I heaved a deep sigh while wishing myself the best luck. I crossed my fingers.

Nang medyo kumalma ako at pakiramdam ko ay kaya ko na iyong gawin, I tapped block.

As soon as I heard our car's horn, I put on my backpack and turned off our Wi-Fi router. Tumakbo ako palabas ng bahay, locked the main door, pumunta sa garage, at pumasok ng sasakyan.

Nasa driver's seat si papa, nasa front seat si mama, nasa passenger seat kami ng kapatid ko at katabi naming ang mga backpacks namin. Ang iba sa mga gamit namin ay nasa back seat na.

My mom looks pissed. She's always like that. Para bang pasan niya ang buong mundo. Kaunting problema o aberya lang, ganyan na kaagad ang mukha niya.

"You said that you'll be quick. Bakit ngayon ka lang?" Galit na tanong ni mama sa akin habang may kinukuha sa drawer.

I didn't answer her even if she asked. Alam ko naman na kapag sasagot ako, mas magagalit siya sa akin dahil sumasagot na raw ako. Well, typical Filipino mothers. I still love her, though.

"Wala na ba kayong nakalimutan?" My dad asked.

I checked my stuff last night to make sure that I won't forget anything. Ang iba sa mga gamit namin ay nandito na sa sasakyan kagabi.
