Miles Away (Circle Of Friends #1)

Chapter 1

"Why can't I sleep? Sana ang dahilan no'n ay ang pag iisip mo sakin ngunit, the heck? How could that be?"

Nag tulug-tulugan naman ako ng tumunog ang pinto ng kwarto ko.

"Hey.. I heard you, don't fake it." Napalingon ako roon.

"Sorry, Mommy." She nodded with a smile. "Nagising po ba kita?" Umiling sya. "Matulog na po ako Mommy, ikaw?"

"No, I'll pack your things for tomorrow." She said then I smiled, she's always like this. My first day of school is tomorrow. I'm senior highschool. 17 years old. But she won't stop spoiling me with some stuff like this.

I woke up for the next day due to the smell, amoy paborito ko.

"Ham!" I said, whispering. Then smiled.

As mommy have said, she really did packed everything. Bumaba ako noong makapag ayos ayos na. Though I kind of not ready yet, I'm just so excited, even though I eat it 6 times a week.

"Hey... Manang, Takoyaki?" I asked to manang Natasha.

I smiled, widely, nang makumpirma. Takoyaki is my  all time favorite, nothing can ever change it, like. Nothing. Not even anything in this world.

Nanood ako noog pang umagang series sa aming flat screen TV. I don't watch TV here often, kaya medyo namangha ako sa pinapanood kahit ngayon ko lang nakita.

"Kambal," The lead said.

"You said you'll never leave me? Liar," an emotional lady popped up in the screen then said that genuinely. Woah. That's just... She delivered it, too good!

"I didn't even leave you be-," the other lead said. It's the last word I heard.

Nahinto iyon ng lumabas si mommy. Pinatay niya pala. She is... Glaring at me...She's not that scary but urgh.

"I'm sorry, eto na po," Sabi ko. I can't argue with her. I won't win.

Paiyak na ako dahil sa palabas, lakas maka 'what if's e. But mommy is a mood wrecker, para kung saglit lang. Damot!

Kinuha ko na 'yung bag ko sa may ilalim ng hagdan. Umakyat ako sa kwarto para mag lipgloss, yung bigay ni Jazzy my last... Birthday? Or is it Christmas. I'm not that sure with it. 

After that, bumaba na rin ako para kumuha ng isang balot ng tasty bread at isang jar ng nutella para sa lunch, ganon karami dahil makikisalo iyong si Xy at Jaz. That is just too many right? You won't believe it when we eat it. We can finish it for 10 minutes. We're just... 5 people?

si Maki naman ay pocket wifi ko lang ang punterya. Kainis lang.

"Tara na po?" I asked then she nodded, I think hindi naman siya galit sa'kin.

Ang taray naman ng mommy ko ngayon. Iti-nahimik ko nalang iyon. Ewan ko ba diyan. She's moody, though, sanay na 'ko.

"Bye," she said and woah.. Cold ni Mommy ah? "Go home early." She added, nag nod ako. "What's with the no words?" She asked, again. Am I the one who's cold here? No. She's the one.

"Eh, ang lamig mo Mommy," Napa yuko ako ro'n. "Don't be bothered, Mommy, I'm fine," Dagdag ko pa.

"Kuya, tara na po," sabi ko sa driver namin. He nodded and started to fix the engine up. "Mom," bati ko kay Mommy noong paandar na kami.

"Hey, Breanna! Text or call if you'll come late." 

"Yes, Yes!" She glared after that, tumakbo ako nang tumatawa.

"Okay lang ba iha, daanan natin anak ko, may pasok din siya." He asked. Uhm is that... Reren? Oh my god why not.

"Ah, hehe. Kuya? Si Reren po?" Kabado kong tanong, why the heck I'm trembling!
