Nang-aasar na tumawa si Liam kaya binato ko siya ng unan.


"Hindi ko sya crush!" I rolled my eyes and sat beside him, arms were crossed on my chest.

"Wala naman akong sinasabi na crush mo 'yun ah!" tumawa na naman sya. "Dalaga na ang April namin..."

"Shut up!" I rolled my eyes.

"Jialden Robin..." He touched his lips to trail off.
"Jialden Robin Morales."

"Jiro." He added. "For short."

"Still sounds like a thief." I rolled my eyes again.

"Hoy!" His brows furrowed. "Gwapo nga 'non, baliw."

"Anong pake ko?" Tinaasan ko sya ng kilay.

"Anong pake ko?" He mocked my voice and rolled his eyes. "Bad bitch ka girl?"

I was about to stand up to do my night routine but this Liam just can't get into my nerves.

"Mabait yon promise!" He putted his arms on the pillow between his legs. "Support kita sa kalandian mo kase, mabait naman 'yon..."

"Ano naman ngayon?" Pagtataray ko pa.

"Tapos working student yon. Medyo tarantado ng 25% pero pwede naman na." He took his song book. "Masipag yon."

"I said hindi ko tinatanong." I opened the door of my room.

"Tapos nag-"

"SHUT UP!" I yelled on him at padabog na pinagsarahan sya ng pinto.

I heard his teasing laugh as I got inside my room. Working student huh. Halatang gusto siyang ipag yabang ni Liam. Do I have to care? Mas okay na ako sa celebrity and fictional crushes 'noh!

I did my usual routine before going to sleep. I faced the mirror on my wall and stared at my face.

"You look gorgeous." I talked with my reflection on the mirror. I just have this confidence and I love myself so much.

I stared at myself again, admiring my aura. My skin tone was white as milk. My hazel brown hair was ending after my shoulders. Some, were asking kung may lahi ba kami and my dad was half Canadian, on the part of European ethnicity; and half Filipino. A reason for us to have this hazel brown hair and eyes. I have a thin eyebrows and long eyelashes too.

Liam was a bit same with my features but in a boy version. Non-identical twins kami, kaya hindi naman kami mag-kamukhang mag-kamukha.

I can't sleep yet, so I decided to chat my girls. We have our group chat on IG including me, Erin, Missy and Aira. Aira was my first grade best friend and her family was very closed to mine. Aira's family including her, currently live at British Columbia, Canada's westernmost province. Doon rin naka settle ang family namin sa side ni daddy.

In terms of our long distance friendship with Aira, nakakapag kwentuhan parin naman kami via messenger or sometimes see each other on video calls.

After an half hour of talking with them, I decided to sleep.

I prayed before I sleep. I'm just so grateful on everything. My life was almost perfect that I could never ask for more. I was nourished and loved.

I smiled by myself as I remembered my family. It was my weakness, seeing them having no time for us. Daddy was a military officer so he barely go home for us. Kapag may celebration lang or anything necessary. Mommy was handling a business company on Pasig. Kuya Ethan was on college kaya nakatira siya sa condominium niya near his school and umuuwi lang once a month kapag hindi siya busy. Kami lang halos ni Liam ang nandito sa bahay.
