"Drop! Drop! Drop! Drop!"

Oh, there he goes again. What does he do ba? Lagi na lang siya punta dito sa house and play raw kami, e'. Ni 'di ko kailanman siya nakita mag-aral. Hindi ba siya pinapagalitan ng parents niya? He's really not doing anything but play. I turned. "What?" I said to him smugly.

He stopped on his tracks. His lips protruded, I can note how his cheeks bloated upon doing so. "You really are so masungit."

My eyes automatically rolled at his comment.

"See?!" He pointed exaggeratedly. "Para kang girl." He tilted his head to the side and held his waist while looking at me.

Napatayo ako agad because of what he said. I am here at the sala and doing my homework about comparison of amphibians to reptiles when this annoying kid walks in. "What did you just say?" I roared. My pencil came rolling across the table.

"Hmm, I said you're acting like a girl. 'Di ba, 'di naman nairap ang boys?" His face really looked confused. I was taken aback of what he said. Boys don't roll eyes just like what I did?

"How do you know?" I fired back at him, my eyebrows furrowed. I also crossed my arms against my chest. "Girls and boys could irap!"

"Drop, that's too much of a girly thing to do!" He said while wearing a sheepish smile. "Boys act tough kaya tapos they don't move so soft and mushy. You know, like Superman and Batman!" He shrugged. "I even want to have large muscles like they have so that girls would come running for me in the future." I can almost see his eyes twinkling as he was talking. Ew, muscles are gross. They make your body very disproportionate. It's not like muscles determine how healthy someone is. Just, yuck! "I also plan to grow beard, chest hair and underarm hair, too!" He advanced at my direction while telling me those.

"Well, manang said I can do whatever I want in life as long as it is mabuti. I think the same goes for you, too," I told him, weighing things out. I also think it's not mine to decide. I mean, he's free to build all the muscles he wants. Although I really think it's gross.

"Right?" He replied, smile about to dominate his whole face. "Now Drop that you know how to be a man, let's build muscles and have mustache together!"

"What? Ew, no!" I immediately told him.

His face became really perplexed. "Why?"

"I don't want to, it's too gross!"

"Huh? But it's the way to becoming a full-pledged man!"

I calmed myself. Ano bang pinagsasabi nito? It's as though he's telling me na if I don't have muscles in the future I won't become a man na. "You're idea's very toxic."

He quieted. "How so?"

Do I really have to make him understand pa? I mean, it's very basic kaya.
