The Family I Only Imagined (Ongoing)

CHAPTER 02

Chapter 02

While we were eating there's this group of people entering the front door. They make this cafeteria a little noise. A lot of girls were looking at them like a big fan girl! Umiirit pa sila!

Hindi namin pinansin ang mga bagong pumasok, at nagpatuloy sa pagkain. This is just a snacks but we're eating here for almost 15 minutes already! Dami kaseng sagabal.

"You have class after this?" I asked.

"Wala, vacant ko. Plano ko sana maglibot, though alam ko naman na malaki itong school hindi kakayanin ng 1 hour but it's fine naman sakin." She explained. "Want to come?" She asked and I nooded.

We were heading to library when someone came in front of us.

"Oh, what are you two doing here?" sabi nung babaeng brat sa cafeteria.

"Naglalakad?" Patanong na sagot ko.

"What!? Goodness I can't believe this girl!" She said with a shock face.

"You dont know me yet. So fuck off" I said.

"Lakas ng tama mo ha! Baka nakalimutan mo nasa teritoryo kita. Bago kalang dito kung ayaw mo ng malaking gulo makisama ka!"

"Teritoryo? Just reminding you this school is not yours, you don't even own a little things here." Paalala ko sa kanya. "As far as I can remember this school were owned by Martinez's "

"What are you doing Estela?" The new arrived girl asked this girl infront of me.

"Ate savanna, this two girls were making fun of us!" sabi niya naparang kami talaga ang gumawa non sakaniala.

"Woah" i clapped. "Hindi ka lang pala nangaangkin ng hindi sayo, feeling may ari kapa, story Maker ka pa." I sarcastically said. "If you'll excuse us."

We walked away from that place. We Continued walking until were at the library. Their library were big too!

"Ang tapang mo pala." She said.

"Wala akong ibang magagawa kundi maging matapang. Kase walang kahit na sino sa family ko ang tumayo para lang ipagtanggol ako." She was stunned by my statement, because this is the first time I talked about my family.

"Im sorry about that." She said. I just nodded.

Hinanap ko yung ibang books na kailangan ko. At hiniram.

I write my name, and date today and the date when I will bring the book back.

When we get what we need and parted our ways. As i was walking. I saw the group of girls and boys, Going to my direction.

"Hi" she greeted me.

I don't even know her. Should I greed back?

"Hello?" Patanong na sabi ko.

"What is your name?" She asked.

"Why do you want to know my name?" I asked. "Is it about kanina? With that brat girl? Ok My name is Claire Rivera, Engineering student, 1st year if you need anything my room number were Room 1 Class A Civil engineering." Bago pa sila makapag salita Umalis na ako. I just have 10 minutes to Walk papuntang building!

When i reach the building. I put my borrowed book at my locker and get my tote bag put one black, pink, and brown balpen, i also put my binder inside. I entered the elevator para mas mabilis. I only have 2 minutes left before our class start.

Time passed, Two subject were done. Some Prof have Surprise quiz. Though I answered it correctly. Dumaan ang maghapon. First day is a bit tiring, dami dami kaseng pwedeng paginitan bakit ako pa?

After the dismissal I get my backpack and put my borrowed book inside it, Also my binder. After I made sure na i got everything i needed. I Walked through the hallway. Until i reached the Gate.

Naglakad ako para makatipid sa pamasahe. After a minutes I reached my condo. I put my things down, I changed my clothes. I have 2 hours before my work hours. My work hours were 6 - 9pm. Napa-aga ang dismissal kaya maaga akong naka uwi.

I just read the books i borrowed. I just read what lesson will be discussing tomorrow. I just made myself comfortable. Pagkatapos kong magbasa ng lessons na idi-disscuss. Hinanda ko ang gamit ko sa pagpapaint. I put the small canva on its stand, and started painting something. I expressed myself through painting.

Painting makes me calm. I love to pain sunsets that i saw, some places I want to go when i finished my studies. I painted it all. I remembered my first sketch were my face, at first parang napapangitan ako nung kinapalan ko na yung strokes ng pen, yung imperfection ng drawing hindi na halata.

Hindi ko pa na tatapos yung ginagawa ko when my phone suddenly alarm, and i knew i need to get ready. I leave my painting materials on my desk. I ready myself for my work.

"Good afternoon" I greeted them when i entered the restaurant's kitchen. I looked at the sink and saw the usual. Maraming hugasin, thats my work here. Mataas narin ang sweldo.

I started my work. I started first at rinsing the plate, before I used dishwashing liquid, after rinsing it I started at mugs, cups, glass. After 30 minutes i finished my work. Lumabas ako para magkunin ang mop to mop the whole kitchen. Ganon narin sa labas. Lahat kami dito nag momop. Ganito ang nakasanayan ko dahil kapag natapos namin ang naka assign saming trabaho, kailangan mong maghanap ng ibang gagawin.

"Boss Matt will come here in a moment." Our manager announced. Were not afraid if our boss will go here, to surprise us, because we don't have a reason tobe afraid in the first place, were just doing our job.

I usually got bonuses. Dahil marami akong nagagawa, napapansin iyon ng manager. At first akala nila sa una lang ako ganon. But i was consistent. Pinagsisikapan ko ang mga bagay bagay. Isa iyon sa dahilan kung bakit ayaw kong inaapi ako, nagsisikap ako, nagtratrabaho, tapos they just bullied me? I hate when people are looking down at that people who only eat atleast 2-3 times a day! Note because they have all their needs kailangan na nilang api apihin ang nga taong sapat lang ang kinikita.

After my shift went home already. Naka kain narin ako. Isa ito sa dahilan kung bakit nakakapag ipon ako, bago ka umalis ng restaurant pwede kang kumain ng libre. Natulog na ako pagdating ko sa condo.
