~ 2 days later ~

—MICH—

Dalawang araw na rin simula nung hinatid ko si Jia sa bahay nila. And obviously, her Mama and I had some misunderstanding and it sort of didn't went well. As you can see (or read) naman last chapter, diba?

It's Monday morning and I have to get ready 'cause I have an class that starts at ten o'clock this morning. And it's already 6:45 am, well I went for a jog kasi nung 5 am. Oh well papel. Same ol' morning routine.

I grab my towel and took a quick ten minute(s) bath. After taking a quick bath, I immediately wore my black hoodie jacket, ripped jeans and white sneakers.

Since, I haven't been feeling really well, which started 2 days ago. Well, nung gabi na muntik na kong masaksak at mamatay dahil sa isang drunken group, whom I must say were armored. Plus I was kind of protecting Julia that night.

And shall I add that, that incident 'caused me this wound which is freaking 3 inches long. Like guys, my family doesn't even know na may nangyari at nagkasugat ako. They'll freakout if they knew. Baka imbis na gumaling ako ay lalo akong mabugbog ng pamilya ko.

Plus the fact that I am wearing a tank top (aka sando) underneath this hoodie of mine, just to protect my wound. Well, mabuti nang sigurado dahil patay talaga ako kapag nalaman nila Pops at Mommy.

Anyways, I went down stairs to check if someone's already up making breakfast. Sorry na dahil medyo gutom ako. Kagagaling ko lang kasing mag-jog ng isang oras.

Luckily, Manang already cooked breakfast kaya di ko kailangan pang magluto. All I need to do is eat. Yay! Yumyumyum.

While I was busy eating, I heard footsteps coming down the stairs. Must be my family. Mga kagigisng lang siguro. Ya know, sleepy heads. Hahaha.

We went for a family bonding kasi in Baguio nung Saturday morning and kahapon ng gabi kami dumating kaya medyo napuyat. Pero okay lang naman sa schedules ng parents ko, well ya know naman kung bakit, and me? As I've said earlier, 10 am pa pasok ko. Ewan ko lang dun sa tatlo. Haha.

At tama nga ako, si Mommy kasunod ang tatlo kong mga kapatid ang bumaba sa hagdan. Si Pops? Naliligo pa ata.

Patapos na 'kong kumain nung bumaba si Pops na agad umupo para makasalo sa'min. And since, hindi pa tapos kumain sila Bea ay tumambay muna ako sa sala.

A few minutes passed and they've all left the house except me, of course. I actually don't know why. Maybe tinatamad na naman ako. Aish. Walang nagbago.

--- Urgh! Katamad talagang umalissss! Kung hindi lang ako pupunta sa school, di na talaga ako pupunta. Aish!

10 minutes after they left, I decided to hit the road to go to school. Sa Ateneo. Oh well, kahit medyo maaga pa. Sige. Push lang.

I went to the garage and saw my baby. The Nissan GTR. My oh-so- beautiful baby. Grabe namiss kong i-drive 'to.

Okay. Focus. Drive. Drive. Drive.

~~~

On the way to the school isn't that much of a stress. Even with some traffic here and there. It's actually quite bearable. 

I was driving almost halfway to the school when I noticed a familiar figure standing on the side sidewalk of a some what looks like a broken car. I think the engine went loco. That's why.
