Few days before the ball and I'm stressed because of kuya Jason.
"Bakit kasi ayaw mong sumama?"
Frustrated na tanong ko sa kapatid kong naglalaro ng video game.
"May lakad nga ako sa gabing 'yon," sagot niya ng hindi man lang nakatingin sa'kin. "Ask somebody else to come with you instead."
"Fine! I'm going to bring my boyfriend to the ball," I used my secret weapon. Saglit siyang natigilan at tumingin sa akin ng masama. After a minute, bigla siyang ngumisi at tumawa.
"Maniniwala na sana ako kaya lang naalala kong wala ka palang jowa," he said, teasingly. I rolled my eyes.
"I'm not joking kuya. I'm gonna bring him with me. You'll see!"
Matapang na sabi ko habang nag-iisip na kung sinong pwede kong kumbinsihin. I groaned mentally. I don't know other guys except kuya Jacob's friends. Sino naman sa kanila ang pwede kong isama?
"Don't be so stressed about a date. Trust me little sister, someone will ask you tonight," he winked at me.
Nagdadabog akong umalis sa kwarto niya. Nakakainis kasi ayaw niya talagang pumayag. I tried everything. I bribed him pero walang effect. I even told my parents to help me convince him but in the end, naging kakampi niya pa si mom at dad.
Someone will ask you Jessie.
They've been saying that to me like they know something I don't.
Sino namang mag-aaya sa'kin?
Tsk. Parang mas nakakastress pa 'tong Graduation Ball kaysa sa finals week.
Okay lang naman siguro kung walang kasama. I mean, I'm pretty sure I'm not going to be the only one.
Siguradong pati sila Roselle at Lisha ay wala ring kadate. I don't know about Jean though. She spoke as if she already have someone in mind yesterday.
I need to ask them ASAP.
