Elle's POV
Today's Saturday, time check 6:46 am
Bwisit kasi si kuya ang agang mang gising kanina pa daw siyang alas kwatro gising tas di na daw siya makatulog hmp, idamay ba naman ako?
''maligo ka na ang baho mo'' sigaw niya sakin bago sumimsim ng kape niyang 3 in 1 hmp.
Hinagisan ko naman siya ng unan na matiwasay na nakalapag kanina sa sofa pero ngayon ay sinalubong na ng mukha niya hmp. ''ang aga pa nga e! ang lamig!'' reklamo ko dito saka ako tumayo para umupo sa harap niya. He pinch my nose which annoyed me, kaya umakyat nalang ako ng kwarto para maligo. Bwisit to ang aga aga e! ''susunod ka rin pala e, dami pang arte!'' rinig kong pahabol pa niya bago ko tuluyang masara ang pinto ng kwarto ko.
Kahapon, for some reason na hindi ko inalam ay umabsent si Leo at pabor iyon sakin ang problema nga lang mukhang nalaman ni Ylane yung nangyari samin ni Leo nung wednesday kaya kinakabahan akong pumasok sa monday. Pero mas kinakabahan ako ngayon dahil parating na yung mga pinsan kong halos anim na taon ko ng hindi nakita.
After non ay naglinis kami ng bahay then kuya cooked for lunch, mom informed us na nandito na sila ng mga 1 kaya nag asikaso na kami. Pagkatapos kong mag linis ay nag check ako ng notif ko sa lahat ng socmed flatform na alam ko but while doing it Leo's chathead suddenly popped up. Panandalian pa kong napatitig dito thinking twice if i should open it.
''sino yang nagchat sayo? boyfriend mo'' pag uusyoso ni kuya, sinamaan ko ito ng tingin saka muling ibinaling ang atensyon ko sa cellphone ko.
I wanted to read it, kasi na cucurious ako? badtrip ako kay leo but what if school related naman to? what if he wanted to ask what he missed out yesterday cause he's absent? pero bat sakin siya mag tatanong ha? bat di nalang kay Ylane tutal malandi naman sila pareho. Kaya padabog kong inlapag ang phone ko pero nakatitig parin ako don.
Pano kung importante to?
Bwisit, i opened it and....
Leo: Bryan's being a pain in the ass, sumbungero. I knew it, he wasn't sick that day he probably cut just to tell it to your Senior High.
Leo: Btw, don't be bothered about it : )
Leo: Iniinform lang kita
Leo: Im not sorry
WHAT THE HELL?
Sabi na e, Bryan knew something about that kaya pala nung pinatawag si Galileo tinanguan pa niya yung senior high. Kaya ba hindi siya pumasok kahapon? and wahat? don't be bothered? nagpapatawa ba siya? Kaya ba namumula yung kamao ni Kuya kahapon? and wait lang ha? He's not sorry? ang kapal ng mukha!
Me: You deserve it anyways
Me: I doesn't need you insincere apology though, my kuya did a good thing for me
Me: And thanks for informing me, i should treat Bryan and give my kuya a hug
I sarcastically replied.
I hastily stood up and confront kuya he's now in the dining area. Ngising ngisi sa pakikipag chat sa kung sino.
Hinablot ko ang cellphone niya, bakas naman ang gulat at pag kairita sa mukha nito. ''ano na namang- '' i cuted his words. ''anong ginawa mo kuya!?'' i yelled at him. He stared at me for a second and give me deep sigh as an answer.
He knew what am i talking about. ''why are you mad?'' he asked me nonchalantly as he sucked his inner right cheek.
''You don't have to involve yourself'' matigas na sagot ko dito.
I should talk to Bryan din, he shouldn't tell this to kuya. I know they're just concern pero this is too much. I just hate the idea that they're having this kind of ruckus because of me. Lalo lang tong lalaki.
''Wag mo kong igaya sayo Scaezvielle. If you decided to let it slide, well i won't'' He said in his monotone voice, he slipped his hand through mine to get his phone back pero inilayo ko lang lalo iyon sa kanya. ''The fvck Scaezvielle?'' he irritatedly ask me.
''You shouldn't do that! walang nangyari okay. It was just a kiss and... uhm the neck'' medyo naiilang na pag dedetalye ko. ''I know'' he answered habang ibinabaladra sa harap ko ang kamay niya obviously asking for his phone back.
''Alam mo naman pala e! pinapalaki mo lang e!!'' sigaw ko dito. Nakakahiya, nakakainis hindi ko rin ang maintindihan ang sarili ko.
''Nothing happened? so far. What do you want me to do? Maghintay kung kelan ka niya gagaguhin ng todo?'' he sarcastically fired back while giving me those fiery glares.
''Kuya naman hin!-'' naputol ang sasabihin ko ng biglang bumukas ang pinto at iniluwa non ang parents ko together with my cousins.
Napa ayos ako at pilit na tinanggal ang pag ka inis sa mukha, narinig ko naman ang pag tikhim ni kuya sa harap ko. ''why are you guys shouting at each other?'' A girl who's wearing a high waisted grey colored short with chain on it and a normal over sized cream colored shirt na naka tuck in for her top, i was almost blinded by her glittery high heels and her purse that was definitely a gucci arrogantly said. Habang nililibot ang paningin niya sa buong kabahayan.
Is this Faethe or Houpe? I literally forgot everything about their existence. No i think this is Faethe
''A normal fight between kids'' kumento naman ng lalaking kasing tangkad at kasing edad lang ni kuya. He's wearing a black colored v-neck shirt with matching khaki shorts and also a black string bag and a black converse high. Kuya Lixxe? ikaw na yan?
Nakita ko naman ang pag kairita sa mukha ni kuya ng tawagin siyang 'kid' ni Kuya Lixxe gayong mag kasing edad lang naman sila. Pero pilit nitong tinatanggal ang pag ka badtrip sa mukha ng mapatingin sa kanya si Daddy.
And the other girl was wearing a casual red colored one shoulder dress, tinanggal niya ang sunglasses niya as she look at me from head to toe she smirk after that, i think that's an insult. Marahan pa niyang ipinadyak padyak ang suot niyang ankle strap straw wedges as it creates a tip toe like noise. This is probably Houpe, with that kind of mannerism.
Faethe and Houpe? what's the difference again with this two?
''Nag aaway ba kayo?'' our mom worriedly asked. My kuya laugh playfully trying to pull an act, ''It's just about a silly game mom'' sagot nito sabay ipinakita ang phone niya na nasa isang game app na nga. Magaling na bata.
I gave him a deadly stare and mouthed him 'hindi pa tayo tapos' palihim lang akong nginisihan nito saka pumunta sa direksyon nila mommy, pasimple pa itong dumaan sa harap ko para bulungan ako ng ''i won't talk to you about this anymore, layuan mo yang Leo na yan'' He hugged our parents then he give a nod to kuya Lixxe who just akwardly looked at him for a second.
Sumunod naman ako para i hug sila mom, my dad gave me a wide smile. Panandalian kong nilingon ang tatlo at ilang na ngumiti sa kanila.
Sa likod ng mga pinsan ko ay ang mga maleta nila. May isang itim, bubblegum pink and carnation pink. ''Ion, Elle help Lixxe and the twins with their stuffs'' utos ni mommy
My mom works as an Architect and my dad as an Engineer they obviously met at a construction site. They're both busy with their works kaya dalawa lang kami ni kuya dito, weekly lang sila umuuwi minsan nga ay hindi pa. But yeah, i love them anyways. Hindi naman ako nag tatampo. I understand it.
Chzairix Faethe Lazarte and Chzairiz Houpe Lazarte. They're twins, just imagine having two Ylane Rei Cepeda in the house gives me a headache. We never get along, ewan siguro dahil masyado akong anti-social and they're not. Siguro contrast yung personality ko sa personality nila? masyado silang girly, hindi naman sa boyish ako but im not into those kind of stuffs. Or maybe they just don't like me. Mag kaka edad lang kami, and the bad thing here is comparison is a nature in our family. I never asked them to praise me and make the twins feel bad about theirselves. But i get it, gets ko sila kung bakit ayaw nila sakin.
Chzouwon Lixxe Lazarte, ka edad lang ni kuya. Mag kapatid ang mga tatay namin and ewan usapan na ata na magsabay sa pag bubuntis ang mga asawa nila kaya ganito kami. Kuya Ion and Kuya Lixxe get along..... before nung mga bata pa sila, but i guess they're just growing apart. And i think naapektuhan din ang brotherly love nila because of my issue with the twins. Of course Kuya Ion will always take my side at ganun di si Kuya Lixxe sa kambal.
The twins irritates me a lot, but this situation irritates me more.
Parehong accountant ang parents nila, but six years ago their parents started a small business it was a clothing line. For fun and extra income lang yon before and they never expected it to be this big, kaya yon naging hands on na ang parents nila sa business na yun and kung walang time samin ni kuya ang parents namin ano pa kaya ang sa kanila?
''I-akyat niyo nalang muna yung mga maleta mamaya niyo na ayusin, kumain muna tayo'' My dad told us na siyang pare pareho lang naming tinanguan. I hepled them, a bit. Cause they seem to get annoy with our little gestures.
I looked at kuya and he just shrugged.
Naalala ko tuloy ulit yung kay Leo bwisit. That jerk is freaking rich what if i demanda non si kuya ng physical injuries or assault? Bwisit na Galileo Chavez! Pano ko iiwasan yon e kaklase ko yon and worst ka grupo pa sa tatlong subject.
Kalma ka ang Scaezvielle, october na limang buwan mo nalang titiisin ang isang yon. Try not to get into his nerves at pilitin mo na huwag ma involve sa buhay ng isang yon. Go Elle! you can deal with it.
Habang kumakain of course my parents kept talking to us specially to the three. ''So jan nalang din kayo sa judge or you guys wanted to be in a private school?'' my dad asked them out of concern.
Wow ha, kaming anak naka public lang tas sila i pa private.
''No tito, we like to study where Scaezvielle does'' naka ngising sagot ni Faethe kay dad before chewing her food. ''Mas makakapag adjust kami sa sudden change of environment, with Elle here. She can tour us in that Judge? Hukom or something'' gatong pa ni Houpe pertaining to my school no i guess its going to be their school din.
Tumango nalang ako, i can naman talaga. But as if they really wanted me to do that for them.
''First of all, wala rin naman kayong choice dahil naka enroll na kayo. I talked to mom last week sabi ko gusto niyo sa Hukom kahit di pa naman ako sure'' pag babalewala ni Kuya Lixxe sa mga pinag sasabi ng mga kapatid niya.
''You really love to meddle in our stuff no? are you gay Kuya?'' Houpe mocked her brother who's now smiling from ear to ear dahil napikon niya ang mga kapatid. ''I can give you my prada if you are'' dagdag pa nito na tinawanan lang ng lahat, maliban ata sakin.
''C'mon Houpe you'll like it there for sure'' Faethe giving her twin a meaningful smile, they're sharing secret of course. Wondering if its about me.
''Of course, Galileo's probably there'' Houpe giggle, napahinto ako sa pag kain.
No they're not talking about him right? why am i suddenly having a chills? Kinakabahan ako for no reason. Its not the Galileo that i know right? i couldn't be Galileo as in si Chavez.
''Uy Boys!'' My mom joined their conversation. ''So who's this Galileo guy ha?'' natatawang sambit ni mommy sa dalawa kong pinsan na ngayon ay abot tainga ang ngiti at nag hahagikhikan.
''You know what tita, He's drop dead gorgeous! We already meet him once sa isang party. His dad was a business tycoon you know'' ngiti ngiting kwento ni Faethe. ''Then yun we followed him on instagram the reason why we know his whereabouts'' dagdag pa nito.
They can't be talking about him.
''We'll probably bump into him, ah basta Faethe paunahan nalang'' panghahamon ni Houpe sa kamabal na siyang sinangayunanng isa.
''Oh i see?'' tangu tangung kumento ni mommy, ''full name?'' my mom asked out of curiosity na siya namang tinawanan ni dad.
''Galileo Chavez!'' Sabay na sagot ng kambal, this topic is hyping them up.
''Does that ring a bell anak? do you know someone named Galileo Chavez?'' My mom suddenly asked me.
Wala sa sarili akong napatingin kay kuya asking for help he's quick-witted so he'll get what i mean. ''No mom, she doesn't know anything about that person'' He answered for me.
I saw kuya Lixxe discreetly observing me and Kuya as if he's sensing something.
''But i think he's very famous'' My mom said. God! mom kung alam mo lang kung anong kabaliwan ang ginawa sakin ng lalaking yan! ''And Schuzionne why are you answering me? im asking Scaezvielle'' natatawang utas pa ni mommy.
''Wala talaga mom'' i said.
