Ride The Waves

Kabanata 2

I knew I had to get up, but my pure laziness was denying me which quite frankly I didn't mind.

 I snuggled up in my blankets, and comfort surrounding me as I laid curled in my bedsheets. But that comfort was quickly taken away when my Kuya Jay stormed in my room to check if I am completely awake. 

He had already entered my room 10 minutes ago, when he forced me awake and threatened to pour freezing cold water on me if I didn't get up within the next 5 minutes.

 He knew exactly what I was like, I always struggled to get out of bed especially on school days. Which is the exact reason why he came screaming in my room for the second time?

 "Seraphine, get up! We're going to be late Or gusto mong makasabay si Daddy at school on your way."

I groaned, turning my stomach, trying to muffle the sound of my Brothers' annoying voice by covering my ears with my pillow.

 I just wanted to lay in for an extra 10 minutes but that clearly wasn't going to be possible

. "Seraphine!" My Brother shouted when he saw I wasn't moving from my bed. 

"Bakit hindi mo ako hayaang makatulog maaga pa naman?" I moaned as I pushed myself out of bed.

 Not wanting my brother to carry out his preceding warning that he had actually done to me previously.

 "There's an event that I needed to attend in school and I wasn't informed this morning, so I'm in a hurry myself. Now, get up and get ready." he said, before marching towards my bedroom door.

 "Fine." I replied before taking some uniform from my closet unbothered whether they matched or not. And take some swimming gears kasi may surfing class ako today. Kahit pinatigil ni Daddy ang class ko na yun ipinagpatuloy ko pa din without his knowledge.

"Thanks." I heard him call out as he made his way down the hallway. 

Dragging myself to the bathroom, I stripped off my sleeping clothes before quickly jumping into the hot shower.

 Drying myself off I change into my clean clothes before racing down the stairs due to the clock informing me that I had only 30 minutes till school started. And it took at least 20 to get there .

Akala ko maaga pa 9:00 na pala ng umaga

"Kuya!" I shouted as I hurriedly went down the stairs, racing into the Dining area. 

He was sitting at the dining table, eating his breakfast.

 His prominent dimples showing as he smiles while he looked at me rushing which made him his favorite show every morning. 

I rolled my eyes as I saw him diverted his attention to his phone, 'My hero academy' was flashing on his phone, Kuya is being nine years old  again whenever he watch that anime.

I took some toast bread on the plate, sadly watching my brother's favourite show to pass the time before spreading some Goya on my toast. I ate the toast hurriedly and took my things.

"Kuya." I called him still no response.

"Kuya" I repeated. I annoyingly took his phone

"I want to watch!" He whined, refusing to leave his chair. 

Beginning to get irritated and simply having no time for his whining. I turned his phone off, only to have him scream.

"I'm late Kuya, now get in the car." I moaned, getting annoyed, 

"I thought you're in a rush at saan na ba si Ate?

Akala ko ba nagmamadali siya?

"Wala akong pasok bubwit, may event sila ate mo kaya maagang umalis."
