The Bad Boy Chronicles

Chapter One

 

"Kuya naman.. Palagi ka na lang busy sa girlfriend mo. Hindi ba pwedeng ako muna ang intindihin mo?" I sighed as I heard him talking over the phone.

"Lexi naman. Minsan lang naman kitang hindi masundo diba? Patawarin mo na si kuya." he said, pleading.

Pinagpag ko ang dumi sa palda ko. Hays, ang hirap talagang umupo sa damuhan sa harap ng engineering building. Laging nagkakadamo ang palda ko.

"Ano pa nga ba ang magagawa ko? You always ditched me, kuya Dax. Pakiramdam ko ay wala ka ng time para sa kapatid mo.." I muttered. I heard him sigh on the other line, he don't have time with me since he had his girlfriend. Feeling ko tuloy ay mag-isa na lang ako.

"Don't worry Lexi, I called my bestfriend to fetch you up. Padating na jan si Drex." he said.

"Buti pa si Kuya Drex e, nandiyan palagi sa akin. Samantalang ikaw, lagi kang nand'yan para sa girlfriend mo. Nakakatampo ka na kuya Dax.." a hint of jealousy on my voice can clearly observed.

"Huwag ka na magtampo Lexi, babawi si kuya sa'yo. Okay? Hindi ko lang maiwan si Ate Sach—" I cut him off.

"Dahil napakanagger ng girlfriend mo. Bahala ka nga kuya, nakakabwisit. Ingat kayo, bye." I said as I ended the call.

Puro s'ya girlfriend n'ya, ano ba naman kung sunduin n'ya muna ako dito sa school at ihatid sa bahay bago s'ya magpaalila sa napakanagger n'yang girlfriend?! Naku, kung hindi ko lang talaga mahal 'yung kuya ko ay matagal na akong nagtanim ng sama ng loob sa kanya.

"Lexilei Venice Valdez!" I heard from distant. I saw Kuya Drex walking towards me. Kabababa n'ya lang sa kotse n'ya.

Drex Syril Marquez is one year older than me. I am seventeen and he is eighteen. Architecture ang kinukuha kong course, and I am on the second year level while si Kuya Drex ay 3rd year, Economics ang kinukuha. We were on the same school while my brother is now working.

My brother's name is Dax Vincent Valdez, he graduated Summa Cumlaude at the age of eighteen wearing a bachelor's degree in Chemical Engineering. He is accelerated two years in advance kaya maaga s'yang nakatapos. Kung anong kinatalino ng kuya ko ay kina-opposite ko.

"What's with the face Lexi?" Kuya Drex asked. Paano ba naman akong hindi magkakaganito kung hindi ako iniwan sa ere ng kuya ko. He noticed that I wouldn't speak kaya nagdesisyon s'yang ayain ako mag-meryenda.

"Starbucks?" I nodded as he reached for my hand. Tinulungan n'ya akong makatayo sa kinauupuan ko.

We made our way to his expensive car and he opened the door for me, "Thank you." I said. I sat beside him as he sped off.

"Don't tell me you are upset with your brother again?" he asked and I nodded, "Don't be. Masyadong busy lang si Dax sa work. Besides he has his own life, try to understand." he said, comforting me.

"Kuya Dre—" my forehead creases as he put his index finger on my lips causing to interrupt what I am talking about.
