They know him as the badboy of their school. The rich kid. The popular jock. But that's it. But behind those things is a boy that is abruptly turned into a man full of responsibilities.
Let's read how Seth Alvero overcomes the ups and downs of life...
Nasa sala lang ako, nakaupo sa sahig at naglalaro ng playstation habang katabi si Simon na busy din sa sarili nyang mga stuffed toys. Hanggang 11am lang yung klase ko today so I'm stuck with daddy duties for the afternoon.
It's nearing 5pm and I'm currently waiting for Margaux to come home. If I'm not mistaken, today yung presentation nila ng group mates nya and I'm curious on how it went. She was stressing last night tapusin yung powerpoint nila and I guess she slept late since nung nagising ako sa iyak ni Simon around 3am, she was still busy typing sa laptop with paper strewn around our bed. I even felt some paper na nakapatong sa may likuran ko.
Nakaisang round pa ako ng game bago ko narinig yung pagsara ng pinto ng kotse sa labas. She's home. I was in the process of shutting down the game nang bumukas na yung pinto ng bahay at pumasok si Margaux. Her hair's up in a bun with some of it falling out already, making it look a bit messy. She's wearing a green striped long sleeves na naka-tuck sa fitted white cropped pants.

She looks a bit stressed at madami syang hawak na papers. Hindi nya agad ako napansin dahil busy syang isabit yung susi ng kotse nya sa key holder and simultaneously taking off her shoes. Tumayo agad ako para kuhanin yung mga papel at bag na hawak nya.
"Oh. Hey." Ngumiti sya sakin nang bahagya at itinuon muli ang atensyon sa pag-aayos ng sapatos na hinubad nya. She could be a clean freak sometimes.
"Hey. How was school?" Tanong ko habang nilalapag yung gamit nya sa coffee table na iniusog namin sa gilid before para malaki yung space ni Simon sa sala.
"Hectic."
"So... How was your presentation?"
I saw a spark of shock sa mga mata nya but it was gone a second later. She was clearly not expecting na I will ask her about that. To be honest, so was I. We don't really ask each other about things not related to Simon. We're civil but we still got a long way to go before we can call each other as friends. I guess I'm that bothered by what I did yesterday. I don't know why.
It took her a few seconds to respond. "Oh. Um.. It was fine. Medyo kinabahan ako since we weren't completely prepared for it. At least, not to my liking, but we managed." She flashed me a smile.
I know how much preparation ang nilalaan ni Margaux sa bawat ginagawa nya. Especially when its about school. She's a clean freak sometimes, sure, but she's a perfectionist when it comes to a task. Thank God she did good today. It'll be awkward if she went home crying about a bad grade and knowing I caused it.
