ROMEO

"Hmm." I can't find the right pair of jeans to wear for today.

"Distressed or not Distressed ?" I squinted as I fussed over the jeans strewn on the floor.

Today is the fashion day! Yeppie. Free ako ngayon sa pananamit. There are no rules naman. Especially when it comes to dress code in school. Wala namang magsisita sa akin eh. Try lang nila. I'll call Mom to break the school's fund if ever they'd try.

I poked my cheeks, trying to focus on what to wear today. It's fashion Friday. Hmm? "Distressed or not Distressed ?" Paulit kong tinanong sa aking isipan.

"Not Distressed?" It did not take long for me to toss the thing in the garbage can.

And I found the right pair, my all time favorite Distressed jeans. Colour blue pa siya, which suits me well. Dahil bagay siya sa flannel ko na red long-sleeves.

Alright! Ready na ako for school.

But before that, I should put on my lip balm. I should not always forget about this! Kailangan ko ito ngayon, lalo na't tag init ngayon.

"Alright! I'm done!" Para akong babae na excited lumabas ng kwarto. Papalabas na sana ako ng kwarto ko nang.

Wait---

Ang sapatos ko?

"Hmmm?" Again, I squinted as I fussed over the shoes displayed on my big closet.

I was occupied for a minute when I heard a loud bang on my door. "Romeo!" It's my Older brother, uggh. Anong kailangan ng isang 'to?

"Bilisan mo na diyan! Ihahatid kita sa school!" Nagdabog ako habang patuloy pa din sa pamimili.

"Kuya! Kakain muna ako bago aalis kung pwede?" Sagot ko naman sa kaniya.

"You're already 15 minutes late sa school." He answered back. I just rolled my eyes.

"Adidas for today?" I asked myself then smiled as I pick the right style for today. Hindi na ako nagdalawang isip na kunin ito at suotin. My old bro is already waiting outside my room. He easily gets impatient especially with me, kapag nagbibihis na ako. Sabi nga niya, sobra pa ako diyan sa mga babae.

Okay! Ready na~

Rak na 'to! Lumabas na ako ng kwarto at pagbukas ko tumambad sa akin ang 6 footer kong kuya. Already in his uniform. Ang hirap tumanga sa kaniya. Given a height of only 5'2 nakakahiya na kapag tumabi sa kaniya.

"Kakain pa ako ng breakfast na hinanda mo." I said, hindi siya hinintay na magreact pa at dumiretso ako papuntang kusina.

Pagdating ko, nanlumo ako. "No breakfast for today Romeo." He added.

I mimic him, then I heard him say. "Let's go. I'm already late for school, you too." Hindi na ako nakapagreklamo pa dahil hinila na niya ako palabas ng bahay.

"My stomach's grumbling." I said as I open my phone and swipe to unlock it.

"Ask me." Nagpout na lamang ako, si Kuya Aldrich talaga. Napakacold ng dating. No wonder walang jowa.

"Is your stomach's grumbling too?" With exaggeration, I asked his stomach. Sabay tusok ko dito.

"Stop it." His voice sent shiver down my spine. "Ang Childish mo Romeo." Nabigla naman ako sa sinabi ni Kuya.

Ako Childish?

Tsk. Sinong hindi Childish sa atin?

Nang nakaabot na kami sa school ko, fan girls with camera's were already waiting for me. Inaabangan akong makalabas na ng sasakyan ni Kuya. I slowly opened his car. And as I step my feet on the ground, countless number of snaps can be heard.
