"Why are you here, kuya?" He smiled at me. Napapansin ko na may gusto siyang ibalita sakin.

He's my older brother, Kaiden Joson. 

"Listen, I heard Mom and Dad talking. They're talking about Arranging your Marriage."

"Huh?" naguguluhang sabi ko. 

"Mom and Dad wants you to get married after graduation." he said and sighed.

"For what?" 

"Business." he simply said.

"What?! With whom?!" nataranta na agad ako.

"They haven't decided yet." 

"What the hell?" I said, wala sa sarili. "They didn't even inform me and ask for my permission about this."

"Maybe its for your own good." he said, nagpapaintindi. 

"No it's not. That's for their own good, not mine." I said. Im starting to cry.

"No. Just understand them okay?" he hugged me.

"Kuya, I don't want to get married yet! Im still young at marami pa kong gustong gawin."

"I know, I'm just telling you. Maghahanap ako ng paraan kung paano mati-tigil ang Kasal na tinutukoy nila Mom and Dad."

"Kuya, please... " Naiyak na 'ko dahil ayoko nang pipilitin ako ikasal sa hindi 'ko naman mahal, kailangan ko rin magplano kung paano maititigil itong kasal na tinutukoy ni kuya.

"Baby sis, stop crying. You will look ugly sige ka." pagbanta ng aking kapatid. "Don't worry hahanap ako ng paraan kung paano maititigil ang kasal na 'yun."

"Thank you, Kuya."

"Okay baby sis, Im going na. Your condo is beautiful." And then he formed a smile and hugged me.

My brother is the best. Lagi niya akong pinagta-tanggol sa mga nagagawa 'kong mali. Simula bata pa lang kami, sobrang close ko na sa kanya. He is not only just my Brother he is also my Bestfriend, Super hero, my protector. Laging nandyan si kuya kung meron mang nangaaway sa 'kin, kung lagi akong pinapagalitan ni Mom or Dad. He is willing to sacrifice his life for me. I really really love my brother and I'm lucky to have him. 

Kaya naman nuong nasaksihan ko kung paano siya mawasak dahil lang sa pagmamahal na iyon noon, parang naramdaman ko din lahat ng sakit na naramdaman niya. And Im so mad at that girl who hurts my kuya. I don't want to name her.

"Alright kuya, take care ha?" I said while wiping my tears.

"Miss Joson and Mister Williams! Are you listening?"

Lagot huli na. Epal na echoserong lalaki kasi e! 

Pinalipat siya ng upuan, sa tabi ko pa talaga. That annoying Blake will blow my head. Arrrggghhhh mamamatay ata ako ng maaga sa inis. Ginugulo niya ko kaya ayan nahuli kami.

"Of c-course miss!  We're listening!" I answered and looked at Blake with a deadly stare. 

"Okay, kung nakikinig ka nga, what is heaviest organ in the human system? If nasagot mo 'to Hindi ko na itutuloy ang long quiz natin tomorrow."

Aaaah heaviest organ in the human system...  My lovely brain please work. Oh!  "I believe it's the skin Miss, the skin also is the largest organ of the body. The skin protects us from microbes and elements, regulates body temperature, and permits sensation of touch, heat and cold." Woooh thank you stock knowledge!

"Mmhm. Thank you for answering. Okay tomorrow we have no long quiz! Thanks to Kaydence."

"THANK YOU KAYDENCE! I LOVE YOU MABUHAY KA KAHIT KAILAN GUSTO MO! "

"Thank you Joson! "

"Wow you're really bright naman pala Snobera." Sambit nung echosero. "Sana all."

"Shut up!" I hissed. "And why are you following me?"

"Bakit? Pinapasabay ako sa inyo ni Gwen kumain eh, angal ka?"

Right mag friends pala itong si Gwen at ang lalaking 'to. 

"Gwen, Britt!" Tawag ko sa mga kaibigan ko at iniwang mag isa ang echosero. 

"Babesss!! I already ordered food for us. By the way, where's Blake?" Gwenevere asked.

"Gwenevere Serenity! Bakit mo siya sinabihang sumabay sating kumain?!" bulong ko kay Gwen at kinurot pa siya sa tagiliran.

She just laughed at me. I rolled my eyes at her and sat beside Britt. 

"Did someone called my handsome name?" see?  Napaka-echosero. "I'm here."

"Who's that guy?" Brittany whispered at me. 

"Oh, by the way this is Blake Liam Williams and Blake this is Rallianne Brittany Celestial."

"Hi, You can call me Britt for short." Rallianne smiled at Blake. 

Ew, did she just smiled at him? 

"Blake at your service." 

"Okay let's eat already." Sambit ni Gwen and that Annoying Blake sat beside her. He looked at me but I just rolled my eyes. Panay ata ang irap ko ngayon.

"Uhm, Girls I need to go na may review pa 'ko sa library para sa recitation namin later." Britt said and kissed Mine and Gwen's cheek. "I'm glad to meet you Blake I got to go. Bye." and waved her hands.

"Girl I need to go na rin see you later." Gwen said. "Alis na 'ko Blake ingat kayo."

"Oy Snob, tara na male-late tayo."

"Wag mo nga 'kong tawaging Snob!"

"Okay, babe na lang." And the he formed a smile.

"No way, you're so gross you know?" I said, disgusted.

"I don't know e." he said and smiled playfully. I swear, it's so annoying.

It's already friday night and we are packing our things. Dahil uuwi kami bukas sa rizal. 

"Gwen ikaw na magluluto ngayon." sambit ko.

"Alright." She answered.

"Babes, can you cook ginataang kalabasa naman?  Kasi napansin ko lagi na lang chicken kinakain natin nitong mga nakaraang araw. " Britt suggested.

"Sure! Gusto ko den non." 

Habang nagluluto si Gwen binuksan muna ni Britt ang Television para manuood ng balita. 

Good evening sa inyong lahat. Bukas ay posibleng lumakas ang ulan at magkaroon ng baha at landslide, kung lalabas man tayo bukas ay maaaring magdala ng payong o kapote. Ito ang inyong weather reporter Olivia.

"Hoy!  G pa ba tayo bukas?" Tanong ko.

"Oo naman." Sagot ni Gwen.

"Magdala nalang tayo ng payong if ever na may ulan nga." Sagot ni Britt. 

"Alright... "
