°°°
It's already august and we have been experiencing sudden rainfall and floods, fortunately our street wasn't susceptive to floods.

Meanwhile, here we are having a practice for our groupings this Monday. We're assigned to do a roleplay for our subject politics, were currently working on the play and characters outside of my home.

"So we're doing this, you-" pointed to my male classmate who was currently on his phone "are going to be the father and you'll take your wife which is going to be you-"

"No! I don't want to! Let her be!" She chosed me while I glared at her and replied.

"I'm going to be the villain and I'll be the one doing the slapping" the leader of our group groaned, I won't be the one getting slapped, why should I let my beautiful and spotless face to be slapped?

"My goodness! We can't finish this if all of us wouldn't cooperate!" Our leader finally burst in anger, all of us got silent but I knew in their minds they like the idea of sleeping in their bed in this cold weather rather than be here.

One of my close friends, Ange, sat beside me and voluntered to be the the one acting as a mother. I'm a part of a friend circle lead by Jeline who loves kpop and is a dancer like Pauline, Ange whose like a mother hen to us, Espe whose eyes are only for books, Emil whose eyes are only for guys and Alex who only lives for Wattpad.

I don't know how we became so close but I'm thankful that I finally have some friends to be with, I do admit that I'm the grouchiest person in the group and that my mouth is as poisonous as ever, might have worsen now, I'm happy with them. Our personalities are also different but we managed to be in harmony together. Just like ingredients in a food creating a fantastic, well combined meal.

The division of work has finished, finally, my mother got downstairs and looked at us but didn't say anything and just went up again. I leaned my back, seeing the bored expression of my classmates, I too had been influenced by them. I think all group works are like this, the leader and the brain of the group is the one doing all the work, the rest are either on their phone or having a conversation with their group mates.

My grade 11 experience was just like an extension of high school but the subjects are more difficult- well not that much since friends are allies forever. We don't let each other get a low score, such loyal friends, I would surely treat them better. Maybe.

"I'll be slapping you, hard" I whispered to Ange as we stood up to practice.

"Bruha!" She replied back with a laugh, we heard someone saying action and soon, Ange went to her partner.

I crossed my arms in front of my chest and walked to them brazenly, eyebrows raised before slapping Ange. I almost burst into laughter when I saw Ange glaring at me, of course I didn't slap her that hard I'm not that evil though I look like one.

Fortunately, our practice finished before lunch and I can finally rest in my soft comforts of bed. Tomorrow's sunday which is Ninoy Aquino day, too bad the holidays in sunday and didn't get to be on Monday.

Willmark didn't come since he's also busy from school and also, he's going to have a match next week so I just leave a good night and good luck message for him and sleep.
...

"Bimbi? Where is that dog?"

I had looked for him everywhere, even under the drawers but he wasn't there. Where the hell did he run off to? Guess I'll use that technique then, so I went back to my room and took his favorite toy.

"Bimbi! I got your favorite toy! Want to play?!" Right off the bat, bimbi ran at full speed while barking. I put him in my arms and went downstairs to see my sister having a full on stare with her oslo paper.

"What are you staring at?" I mused while she looked at me in displeased.

"Plates" I immediately burst in laughter, ha! Take that Jerimie! I almost forgot, she's already in grade nine and she must have taken the subject of drafting, the same as I.

Well, drafting just messed up with your head as well as math. She glared at me hatefully and continued on her work, my face still got that smile and it got even more wider when I heard the sound of knocking.

"You're here!"

"I am he-"

I almost forgot about bimbi, he just loves his father, well that's what I call him. I'm bimbi's mother and naturally he's the father. His bark went straight to my ears, I love you bimbi but you got to stop barking or any longer than that and my ears gonna explode.

He smiled at me and walked thru the living room, he have his hands full so I helped him and placed it on the table. He's always like this, everytime he comes here, he would always have a ton of food to share.

Right now, he brought zagu and donuts from dunking donuts. Coincidentally, my younger brother came back along with my mother and have their hands full with pizza.

"Willmark! You're here-" she noticed the food from the table "Oh you shouldn't have!" Mom said and placed the pizza on the table.

"It's fine Tita, besides, I like seeing her eat" he smiled and winked at me.

"I'll get fat if you continue doing this!" I pouted, he's just too handsome and even girls and we'll guys with a woman's heart get so transfixed at him.

His build and athleticism just adds up, plus that fair skin of his, ugh! He's just giving me enemies everyday!

"Don't worry, if you get so fat, I'll take responsibility" I slapped his arm in retaliation and avoided his eyes I'm embarrassment.

This man, how can he say those words straightforwardly! But even though I'm supposed to get annoyed at him now, I can't help the fluttering of my heart from his words.

"Heh! She really is the apple of your eye hm? Pampering her everyday with food, driving her to school and to home, what more would you do for her eh?" Mom questioned which made me feel so happy and proud.

See! I chose the right guy and the fact that he likes me just make this ten times better! I'm so lucky to have met him, seriously, he really is a gem.

If this pampering continues, I'm afraid I would depend on him everyday and the worst thing is that I think he likes it too.

Ugh.

Notes:

• Bruha meaning a wicked person (from Spanish) or a witch.
• Ninoy Aquino Day is a national non-working holiday in the Philippines observed annually on August 21, commemorating the assassination of former Senator Benigno "Ninoy" Aquino, Jr.
• Zagu was born out of this challenge to create a brand that serves the best pearl shakes in the region. Zagu’s first authorized franchise was awarded in October 1999 in Manila, Philippines. Since then the brand has never looked back, growing to more than 500 outlets throughout the island nation today.
