Skyscraper's pride (Laurentius Series # 1)

ONE

"Shit my head hurts. Am I still on earth? Oh, I am. sucks"

hindi ko agad nabuksan ang aking mata dahil sa sikat ng araw. What the heck happened last night? The last thing I can remember was me pulling my brother's hair.

Umupo ako sa kama pero agad ko din itong pinag sisihan. Besides the fact that I feel so dehydrated. I also feel like my skull is being torn apart. Hindi pa ako tuluyang nakakatayo pero pakiramdam ko ay umiikot ang paligid.

Is this hangover? I swear, I will never drink again. Before I even realize it, naka higa na ulit ako. Should i skip class? I mean, no one really goes to class on their first day. Mag tatalukbong na sana ulit ako ng kumot ng may tumama na unan sa aking muka. I opened my eyes only to see my annoying brother.

"Wake up brat"

Halatang kakagising lang din niya dahil sa magulo niyang buhok.

"You look ugly get out"

binato ko pabalik sakaniya ang unan pero binato niya lang ulit ito saakin. Hindi pa siya nakuntento sa isa at kinuha niya rin ang unan na nasa sofa. Akala ko ay ibabato niya ulit yon saakin ngunit lumapit siya sa kama at hinampas ako ng pa ulit ulit.

"Stop! Shit. Ano ba!"

"Get your lazy ass out of the bed and take a shower. Ang baho mo"

"Huh. Coming from you"

Tinigil lang niya ang pag hampas ng unan sakin ng umupo na ako sa gilid ng kama. Lalo pa atang sumakit ang ulo ko dahil sa kakahampas niya ng unan. Ginulo ko ang buhok ko dahil sa inis.

"Hurry up. I don't want mom to see you like that. She'll kill me" dapat lang no. Dahil sayo ang sakit ng ulo ko

"Aray!" Ang sakit na nga ng ulo ko pipitikin niya pa ko sa noo. Tama ba yon!

"Don't blame me. I tried to stop you pero sadyang matigas yang ulo mo."

"You should've stop me after the first shot!"

Nakita ko kase siyang umiinom ng vodka kagabi, I was always curious about alcholic drinks like why does people get addicted to it lalo na 'tong kapatid ko kaya pinilit ko siyang bigyan ako. And it taste awful.

My mom let me drinks wine. Kung minsan pa nga ay bigla nalang niya akong binibigyan. Practice daw 'yon para alam ko ang tamang paraan ng pag inom ng wine when i attend social gatherings and meeting important people when i turned 18.

"Hinayaan na kitang uminom para naman masubukan mo. It's better to learn drinking alcohol with me kaysa sa mga kaibigan mo" Who's friend?

What is it with this family. They keep on teaching me how to drink. Mga weirdo.

Hinatid ako ni kuya kase hindi na daw niya magagawa iyon kapag nasa Manila na siya. His already in college. Ang alam ko ay pinapili siya ni dad between Harvard and Yale pero mas pinili niya na sa Manila na lang. I get it, his an idiot. If I were him, I'll definitely choose Yale.

Naramdaman ko ang titig saakin ng mga eatudyange habang nag lalakad ako sa hallway, ang iba ay sinusundan pa ako ng tingin.I already expect this kind of reaction from them. I mean, I'm pretty, smart, and a Laurentius. Those kinds of reactions are normal.

Laurentius is one of the wealthiest family here in Cebu. Well, Philippines to be exact and we are also well known in France. My great-great-grandfather made it sure that his name will be well known kahit ilang taon pa ang lumipas. My mother also came from a rich family that's why she and my dad makes a powerful couple, and being their daughter makes me above anyone else in this filthy school. Hindi ko nga maintindihan kay dad kung baket dito niya kami pinag aral ni kuya. My cousin blair is studying in one of the grandes écoles of France while I'm stuck here. Unfair.
