Sinamaan ko siya ng tingin nang tinawanan niya ang kalagayan ng paa ko ngayon kaya sinuntok ko siya. Mas lalo naman siyang natawa. Ugh!

Tinanggal ko ang sapatos ko sa tapat ng pintuan.

As I walked through the living room, I saw a guy who's sitting on our sofa, reading a news article. He's wearing a blue polo shirt and a simple jeans. Nag-pout ako habang pinagmamasdan ito. I walked slowly while looking at him, then he saw me. Hindi ko pinahalata ang gulat sa mukha ko kaya umiwas nalang ako ng tingin. He's a stranger. Maybe a teenager. Who is he?

"He's Navy, my friend. He's gonna stay here for like--- one week?" My brother said. I nodded and looked at him again for once. I gulped noong ngumisi siya sa akin. 

"By the way, kumain ka na?" Tanong ni kuya kaya umiwas ako ng tingin doon sa Navy.

"Not yet." I answered my brother's question. I'm not hungry, though. I immediately ran towards my room.

I threw my bag on the chair and walked to my closet to get some clothes. After getting a pyjama, I went to my bathroom and took a shower. Ang bagal ng oras. Thank God there are no classes tomorrow.

I covered my hair with a semi towel and turned the heater on. Nothing really happened today, except for the new housemate, I guess? But he's only staying here for a week. After my shower, I wore my favorite pyjama with a strawberry print on it. I went to my table and opened my book for a little review for this coming examination.

Someone knocked into my door. "Eunice, kain na." That was my mom.

"Opo!" I answered and closed my book. Huminga ako ng malalim at nagsuklay muna.

I went out and went to the dining table, I saw mom, kuya Euran, kuya Eugene, and the guy a while ago. Umupo nalang ako at kumuha ng kanin tska ulam.

 I was busy eating when suddenly my mom asked me something. "How's school?" She asked while the three boys are chit chatting. 

"Fine. Great." I answered without emotion. It's just the typical me, medyo bastos at walang galang.

"That's good!"

I stood up and went to the back of the kitchen to make some hot chocolate. I went back to the dining table after.

"Huy! Timplahan mo din kami!" I stared madly at my brother. Whatever. I stood up again and went to the back. "Tatlo, ah? Thanks!"

I made three hot chocolate and that wasted my five minutes. I went back and gave them those damn drinks. Nasayang lang oras ko. Wala ba silang kamay para magtimpla? Damn sheez.

While eating, I heard my brother's friend talked. I was stopped for maybe about ten seconds because of his voice. His voice was husky and light and heaven and smooth. Uminom muna ako ng tubig dahil parang biglang natuyo ang lalamunan ko.

That made me look at him. I can't say that he's ugly. He got that deep dark eyes, on fleek straight brows, extravagant and exorbitant looks, messy black hair, pointy nose, white teeth and natural pink lips. He totally looks like a korean.

Napatitig ako sa kanya ng palihim. Nagulat nalang ako nang napatingin din siya sa akin. I nearly died in nervousness. Well that's awkward. He just caught me staring at him.

This situation is havoc. I don't know what is he doing here, or maybe my brothers invited him here? Maybe he's our relative? I should erase him in my mind. Kung wala lang siguro kami sa ganitong sitwasyon, kanina pa sana ako nagsisisigaw sa ka-gwapuhan niya. Sheez!

By the way, the food was adequate for the five of us. I was the one who ate too much.

"Don't be so voracious." My brother looked at me horribly. I looked at him the same way.

"You don't care." I stood up and went to my room.

Since it's coming late and i'm free tomorrow cuz' there's no school, I can go wherever I want. Before sleeping, I did my night routine and I also fixed my hair. Again, typical me, walang pake sa itsura pero hindi ko naman hahayaan na magmukha akong hindi kanais-nais.

It's nine pm and I need to rest. My right arm's starting to get painful because I carried one kilo of dog food, walking more that a half kilometer and that sucks. Glad that I slept well this night.

I woke up and since there's no window in my room, I thought it was already morning but when I looked at my wall clock, it is still exactly eleven thirty. I felt thirsty so I went out and went to the kitchen. I turned the lights on.

Dahan-dahan akong naglalakad sa hall papunta sa kusina.

While getting the full glass of water, I heard some noises coming from our modern mini open tree house. Nagtakha naman ako pero pinabayaan ko nalang muna at ibinaling ko nalang ang atensyon ko sa tubig.

The tree house is not that small, but definitely a tree house. I'm not scared so a thought in my mind says that I should look at it. Kaya dahil sa curiosity ay dali-dali kong ininom ang tubig at tumungo sa taas ng tree house.

Huminga ako ng malalim, but when I opened the door, there's nothing inside. Baka kaluskos lang siguro ng mga pusa 'yon.

Bababa na sana ako nang may narinig ulit akong ingay, pero hindi nanggagaling dito sa tree house. Instead, I looked at the house rooftop at my left side and I saw someone sitting there. So it's not coming from this tree house, huh?

And who's that? I opened the flash using my phone. As I pointed my flash at him, he quickly turned his head at me. 

"Whoa!!" I fell down the grass because of nervousness. Glad that my landing was safe! But I got one problem. My butt's wet because of the wet grass. dAMN WHAT JUST HAPPENED?
