Making You Mine (SHS Series 1)

PROLOGUE

I continued putting the red lipstick on my lips while glancing at the clock just above my bed. 7:30 pm. Hmm, just a little bit more and I am done. I am humming while finishing my looks for this night. I am not overly dressed but then… who's Zephaniah if not she's not wearing a fancy clothes? or looking like a girl you will you are?

I stood up from sitting in front of my vanity mirror to check my whole get up in my body size mirror. I smirked.

Ah, even me will fall in love with myself. Wearing a red off shoulder dress that hugged my body perfectly, it's length is a few inches above my knee. My red heeled boots and a black choker. I curled my natural straight short hair.

I smirked more knowing that if my Dad saw me like this he'll probably scold me. Good thing he's not around.

"Are you done, Zeph?" I heard my mom's voice outside my room.

Oh. I guess they're already here.

I looked at myself once again in the mirror, sprayed some perfume, and get my small red bag on my bed. I opened my door and saw my mom there. Looking at me from head to toe with a satisfied smile on her lips.

"You look so stunning as always, love." Mom complimented.

I smiled, "Well, I take after the best."

Mommy giggled knowing fully well it was her. I mean… who else will I take after my fashionista side? Of course, from my mom who introduced this to me. Some of my features resembled my mom… but most of it I take after my dad.

"Go, say goodbye to your brother first before going downstairs." bilin ni Mommy, "Naghihintay na sila sa baba kaya 'wag ka nang mag tagal," saka niya ako iniwan.

Oh, yeah. My super serious twin brother na supposedly ay kasama ko sa party na 'yon. I have been telling him to go with but he keeps on rejecting it. Let's just see if he ever change his mind after seeing me looking like this. That guy… manang-mana kay Daddy. I heaved a deep breath and knock twice on his door.

I pouted when he didn't even respond. So, the Zeph, that I am. I opened his door. And there my very twin brother is, sitting in his bed wearing his pajamas and a headphone, reading a book.

Mukhang hindi niya napansin ang pag bukas ko ngpinto dahil nanatili lang siya sa gano'ng pwesto. Umirap ako at sumandal sa hamba ng pintuan, arms crossed.

"Hey, brother."

Hindi niya ako pinansin. Tumagilid pa siya ng upo. Ah, this boy, really. Ang arte arte. Umirap ulit ako at naglakad papunta sa side ng bed kung saan siya nakaharap. Inaalis ko ang headphone na suot niya at binaba ang librong binabasa. Iritado niya akong tiningnan.

"What?" he asked, annoyed, but wont raise his voice at me. Subukan niya lang.

"I will be going now,"

Tumaas ang kilay niya, naiinis pa rin. "So? Edi umalis ka."

Ang lalaking 'to. Well, I must accept this treatment of his for now, hindi niya kasi ako pinayagan na sumama sa party na 'to. But then, if I said I will go, I will. Not even my family can stop me. I shrugged my shoulder and pat his head, giving me a glare from him. I smiled and left his room.

Pumunta na ako sa baba at nakita ang mga kasama sa sala, nakikipag-usap kay Mom. Umangat ang tingin nila ng mapansin ang pag dating ko.

"Oh, here she is," Mom said.

Nakipag-beso muna ako sa mga kaibigan ko na puro nakangisi sa akin. Umirap ako, hindi naman talaga ako dapat sasama kung hindi lang nila sinabi na pupunta siya. Well, he's going there and it's so rare to see him in a party kaya I won't let this opportunity pass.
