She's My Boyish Girl

Chapter 1

"Anak! Anak! Wake up!" Sunod sunod na sigaw ni mom. Nagtalukbong agad ako ng comforter at tinabunan ng pillow ang ulo ko. Goodness it's too early to get up. But Mom didn't stop knocking my door at halos matanggal na ang pinto ko kakahampas niya.

"Mom! 5 minutes!!" I shouted back. Ibinaon ko ang aking ulo sa aking unan at itinaklob pabalik ang aking comforter. They gave me such comfortable bed, with fully air-conditioned room tapos ayaw nilang sulitin ko ang tulog ko?

My Mom spoke. "Dios ko anak, first day of classes malelate ka!" Napa-ingos na lang ako and tried sleeping again.

I hate getting up early. Halata namang hindi ako morning person. I closed my eyes, but dahil sa ginawa ni Mom, NAHIHIRAPAN na akong bumalik sa tulog ko. And suddenly... Her voice somewhat ringed in my head again.

'Diyos ko anak, first day of classes malelate ka!'

Marahas akong napa-angat sa aking ulo. "What?" I frustratedly mumbled and picked up my phone on my bedside table na muntikan pang mahulog dahil sa pagmamadali. For Pete's sake this is a damn Iphone.

When I opened my phone, bumungad kaagad sa'kin ang reminder sa notifications ko.

'First Day of Classes, Get Up Early Stupid'

Pabalang kong binagsak ang cellphone ko sa aking tabi. Fudge, may pasok na nga. Fun days are over and hell days are on. Nanatili pa ring nakabaon ang ulo ko sa aking unan. I don't want to go to school. It's boring there.

Lectures? Exams? Practicals? DELE LANG.

But on the second thought, hindi ko man makakain ang mga subjects na yon, kapag nag-aral ako atleast hindi madadagdagan ang hatred ng pamilya sa'kin. They won't disown me...

Kamot ulong pumasok ako sa banyo, at dali daling naligo. I don't know kung matatawag bang ligo iyon sa pagmamadali, but this is the typical me.

JUST A GOOD WAY TO START MY SCHOOL LIFE.

I opened my walk-in-closet and nakasanayan ko ng i-welcome ng mga damit kong nakasalansang mabuti sa cabinet, mga sapatos na nakalagay sa isang cabinet din na may mga sari-sarili silang box to occupy, my jewelries are arranged like they are sold by some jewelry shop, and my perfumes na parang iko-commercial.

Luxurios life? I must say yes. KInuha ko na ang pinakamalapit na nakuha ng kamay ko and wear it as it is. I finally fixed my golden watch on my wrist, and faced my body-length mirror. Cool as always. White shirt, ripped jeans and a converse suits me really well.

Kulang na lang tawaging Department Store tong walk-in-closet ko but sadly hindi ko naman nagagamit lahat. After I got satisfied with my look, I went to my scents section. And got the Amethyst Flaire by PRES Scents. I sprayed it all over my body at ibinalik sa lagayan nito.

I went back to where my bed lies, and looked around. My room is my safe space. It calms me everytime papasok ako rito. My bedroom's theme is a mix of color skyblue, lavender and gray.

Without further ado, kinuha ko na ang nakahandang ID ko sa study table and went outside. When I look at the Grandfather clock sa may couch ng second floor my eyes widened. Shit! Sobrang late ko na talaga!

I even almost tripped when I was going down the stairs, good thing I'm still lucky enough para hindi mabalian ng buto. Our house is huge, well yun ang sabi nila.

"Oh? Nandyan ka na pala wachie," sabi ni Daichie.

I smiled at them nang marating ko ang dining table. Unfortunately he's my Kuya, Dwayne Zachary Yutsuko. Ang Kuya kong hindi ko maintindihan kong bakit binigay ng Diyos sa'kin.
