Our Unwritten Love Story (Senior High Series #1)

MADDIE

"Ahh!"

Napahawak ako sa ulo ko dahil sa sobrang sakit. Oh no, did I had a hangover? I looked at the ceiling for a bit before I sat down on my bed. Or is it really mine? It smells like a hotel bed.

 

Napatingin ako bigla sa suot ko, just to make sure. I was wearing an oversized t-shirt and dolphin shorts. I tried to remember what happened. But it was all blurred. The room was in the shades of white and black. Napatayo ako sa kama para tumingin sa labas.

I was suprised that it wasn't a condo. Lumakad ako sa hallway when I saw someone leaving the room. She was a bit shorter than me. Mahaba ang buhok at nakaayos siya ng pangexercise siguro. Napalingon siya sakin nang lumakad ako palapit.

"Oh, you're awake na pala, ate," nagpapatuyo si Jennie ng buhok gamit ang tuwalya. "Don't ask me what happen ha, I want kuya to explain e. But don't worry, wala si Daddy kagabi," kinindatan niya ako bago umalis.

Magtatanong pa sana ako kaso bumaba na siya sa hagdan so sinundan ko nalang siya. I saw Jaylen and JC eating breakfast together. Mukhang nakikipagaway pa siya sa bunso dahil binebelatan siya ni Jaylen.

"Kuya, she's awake na," ani Jennie nang makarating siya sa dinning. "I'll go to the gymnasium na. I'll text you nalang 'pag magpapasundo ako."

"Kakapunta mo lang kahapon, pupunta na naman? Gaano ka ba kaflexible?" Tinaasan niya ng kilay si Jennie.

Inirapan niya lang ang kuya niya at kinuha ang hydroflask niya sa counter na nilagyan ni Nanay Sachi ng tubig. She kissed Jaylen goodbye and went outside. Leaving me with them. Omg, siya na nga lang halos kasing-edad ko na babae eh!

"Hi po ate ganda!" Napangiti ako sa bati ni Jaylen. Napakunot ang noo ni JC dahil sa sinabi ng kapatid niya.

"Jaylen, don't call her that," saway niya. "Di 'ba I told you that lying is bad?"

"But why did you want me to call you idol nung pumunta kami sa practice niyo ng volleyball-"

"Maddie, eat," tinuro niya sakin ang bacon and toast sa table.

"Why didn't let him finish?" I scoffed.

Napailing nalang siya while I was laughing at him pati narin ang ilang kasambahay nilang nakarinig. I greeted Nanay Sachi and Jaylen. I was silent the whole time but luckily, madaldal si Jaylen kaya may nakakuwentuhan ako.

After we ate, sinundan ko si JC sa kuwarto niya to ask what happened. I didn't expect an answer from him since masyado siyang paepal.

"You were too drunk and I was about to text Mason kung nasaan ka but I forgot my phone with him," kuwento niya habang may pinapakialaman sa laptop niya. "Alam ko naman na ayaw ng mom mo na malasing ka so I just chatted Mason when I got home to tell him that you went to Erika's."

Di ko alam kung papasalamatan ko ba siya or hindi. That still doesn't explain why my clothes was different! I had a feeling he wouldn't kasi takot siya kay kuya and si kuya takot sakin.

"So, who changed me?" I titled my head.

"Me," ngumisi siya sakin.

"Ha?" Napatalon ako ng kaunti sa loob ko. "Omg, really? How dare you! Can you not just made me change myself? I'm sure I was sober a little naman-"

"OA ha," tinaasan niya ako ng kilay. "Si Jennie kasi, ang feeling naman nito."

Nahiya tuloy ako! I felt so relieved that it was Jennie who changed me. I wouldn't mind, she's a woman and I hangout with her ever since pumunta ako rito sa bahay nila. She treated me like a best friend already too.
