School
Nang makapasok na sa aking kuwarto, tiningnan ko ang mga laman. I was right!
Parang binili na nga niya lahat ng nakita niya, from different kinds of pens, papers, art materials, name it all! I don't think I'm gonna be needing all of that!
Napukaw naman ang aking tingin sa limang paper bags na hindi katulad ng iba.
I took one of the paper bag with a 'gucci' written on it and it revealed to be a brown patterned backpack.
The other paper bags also contain a designer bag but with different brand and design. I could tell that it's expensive just by how it's nicely packed.
Out of my curiousity, I searched for their prices, and to my shock, my phone slipped in my hand. Mabuti't hindi naman nabasag o nagasgasan.
I hurriedly went to Zildjian's room.
It looks like he just got out from the shower when he opened the door. He's just wearing a towel wrapped around his waist while water still dripping from his exposed abs.
"I, uhm, uh..." Para namang may bumara sa aking lalamunan nang makita ang kaniyang ayos. Tumikhim ako.
"I-I'm sorry but I can't accept this." I handed the paper bags.
Kumunot naman ang noo niya at tiningnan lang ang kamay ko. "Why? What's wrong? You didn't like it?"
"It's not that, but it's too much for me. I obviously won't use it all. You should've just bought one and something that is not this expensive." Pagrereklamo ko.
"We'll just buy another one then, but just keep those." Tinalikuran niya ako at kumuha ng isa pang tuwalya at pinangpunas sa kaniyang buhok.
"I-I can't." Abot ko pa rin.
"Then what am I supposed to do? Should I use them instead?"
"Give it to your mom or to someone else. Duh!" I hissed.
"Ah, yeah! Maybe Zion would like that but Mom won't. She personally picked those, in case you want her to be disappointed, then we'll do that."
I sighed. He gave me no choice so I didn't push through it anymore.
The next day, we had a follow up check-up and it went well.
"Oh, Sierra! Ang aga mo naman yatang nagising ngayon?" Gulat na sabi ni Ate Edith pagbaba ko sa sala.
Magsasalita na sana ako nang unahan ako ni Zeus sumagot habang may binabasang libro. "Today is her first day in school, Ate."
"Uy, excited siya." Pang-aasar ni Zion sa akin.
"Hindi ka sure."
Sa katunayan, I am not. Kahapon pa ako hindi mapalagay. Kinakabahan ako dahil bagong paaralan ang aking papasukan, malayo pa raw kasi ang dati kong paaralan.
Pumunta ako sa kusina para kumain na at doon ay naabutan ko si Zildjian na nakaupong mag-isa habang may tinatype sa kaniyang laptop ngunit nang makita niya ako ay agad niya iyong ibinaba.
"Good morning." Bati niya sa akin.
"Good morning," Bati ko din sa kaniya. "Kumain ka na?"
"Not yet. I'm waiting for you." Sabi niya. "Let's eat." Pag-aaya niya pa kaya nagsimula na kaming kumain.
Pagkatapos namin kumain, sumakay na kami sa sasakyan.
Kasama ko si Zildjian sa iisang kotse habang sila Zeus at Zion ay nasa kanilang sariling sasakyan.
