Andrea
I just finished taking a bath. I feel so good and refreshed after the shower. I dressed myself before coming down to have my dinner.
I just wear my usual thing. An oversized shirt and a pajama. This is how I dressed when I'm just in our house.
I don't need to wear a dress or a gown or any fancy clothes if I'm just going to stay at my room. Why would I? tch.
"Come here and eat." Mama said.
She's preparing the food at the table. I was right on time when I went down. Our dinner is ready. I sat down next to my youngest brother.
"What's for dinner?" I asked.
"What do you see?" My youngest brother imitated my answer to him the other day.
"Tss."
We have already started eating dinner after my mom served the food. As usual, me and my brothers, we teased each other while we're eating. That's our usual thing every time that we're together. That's our bonding.
Each one of us never lose to each other. We don't hate to lose on a battle but we just don't want to if we can still fight.
What the hell am I saying? I'm spouting nonsense, right? I must be very hungry.
"How's school?" Mom asked as we ate.
The interrogation will begin again. That's what they do if they want to stop us from fighting. They're interrogating us. About school and etc.
"It's okay, it's a bit difficult but I can still handle it." Andrei replied.
"You have to cope, don't give up, okay? Your older siblings have already passed that so you can pass that too. Hmm?" Mom's reminder. He just nodded as response.
"How about you, Andrea?" Mama asked me.
"Just fine." My answer.
"Tsk tsk tsk. Whenever we asked you a question, your answer is always short." Andrei's said.
Here he goes again. He keeps on noticing things again. Even the things he shouldn't notice, he still keep on doing it.
My answer is always short because that's all I have to say. They asked how was the school so I replied fine. They did not say that i have to explain.
"I have a question." Andrei suddenly said after we ate.
"What is it, baby?" Mom asked.
"Why do people who make trouble, they are still the ones who get angry?"
"There are people who really don't want us to be happy so they harass and insult us." Andrew replied.
"The sad thing is that we are not affected so they are getting mad." I added. "Why? Is someone bothering you?"
"Not to me, to my classmate."
"If I know that someone is bothering or hurting you, they will recognize who I really am." I said.
My brother and I are always teasing each other but I love this man. When they hit him, bother, or hurt him, I will be the one to fight to them.
I never hurt my brother but they will be the one who hurt him? No way in hell I will let them do that to my brother.
"I'm going to school." I said.
"Take care, Andeng!" Mama shouted from the kitchen.
I got on my motorbike and drove to school.
~ School ~
I maybe unlucky today. This jerk is the first person I saw when I entered the school. This is a bad sign. A bad luck is waiting for me.
"Good morning, temper tantrum." he greeted me and accompanied me in walking.
"My morning is good not until I saw you."
"You really have a bad attitude towards me. You're always mean to me." he even acted as if he's hurt.
"Take your hand off my shoulder. I'll cut it off." I warned him when he puts his hand on my shoulder.
He quickly removed it and hid it behind him.
"I can be so brutal than that so be careful on what you're doing."
We walked to our room together. There are only a few students here because it is still early. Alexa and her friends are all here too. The five of them. Even Ash is already here.
"Good morning, moonlight." Ash greeted me.
"Good morning, Andrea!" Lexa and Raia greeted me.
"Morning." I greet back.
"When I greet you, you don't greet me back. But if they're the one who greet you, you greet them back, tsh." Jake whispered to me before sitting down in his chair. Tss.
I don't care about you. You're just ruining my day.
"Sit here first. Our teacher isn't here yet." Lexa said making me sit in front of them.
Blake arranged the chair in front of them so that I could face them and talk to them properly. Jake and Ash stood on both side of me as I sat down. They pulled their benches closer to our seat.
"Why are you here?" I ask them.
"Can't we join you?" Jake asked sourly.
Tss.
"Andrea, have you been in a relationship?" Raia asked.
Why would she ask? Why does she want to know about my life? Love life, I guess to be exact.
"Not yet." Jake answered.
A nosy has been added. In the past, it was just a stair. Now as sensual is nosy as well. Tss.
"Really, moonlight?" Ash asked in astonishment.
"Hmm." My answer.
"Why?" Tristan asked.
As usual they didn't let me answer. They answer it for me as if they really know the reason.
"It's obvious, no one wants to court her." Alistair answered.
Earlier, Jake answered the question for me. Now, it's Alistair. They are not the ones being asked but they are the one answering the questions.
You're right." Jake said.
"That's fine. Unlike you, you're kissing different women every day." I tease Alistair.
"It's just for fun. Unlike you, you've been lonely all your life." He teased me back.
"I'm not lonely, I have my family." My answer. "And I'd rather be alone than play with others feeling."
"They're playing along. What can I do?"
"The others want it seriously but what can they do if you don't want to?" I stopped speaking for a moment. "Those are women, not barbie so don't play with them. Don't be gay."
His head immediately heated up at what I said.
"What? Gay ?! Hey!"
He looks like he's going to explode in anger now. Now I know.
"Okay, STOP, TIME OUT!" Tristan weaned us.
"Do you want me to kiss you to prove to you that I'm not a gay?" He asked in annoyance.
I just laughed at him. This crazy don't know when to stop.
Andrea"Oh, Moonlight. Kamusta?" Bati ni Ash."Ayus naman." Sagot ko.We do a fist bump and hug each other afterwards. Ganito kami magbatian, eh.Siya ang nakaisip ng kalokohan na 'to. Cool daw sabi niya eh alam ko namang tyansing lang siya, tss."Napadalaw ka yata?""Bakit kasi hindi ka pumasok?" Asar na tanong ko.Hindi sana ako pupunta dito sa bahay nila kung pumasok lang siya."Si Blaine kasi. Aalis sila mamaya kasama ang lolo at lola niya. Pupunta daw ng States kaya sinusulit namin ang araw hanggang tanghali." Sagot niya.Aalis din sila Blaine. Sana naman ay hindi ko kasabay sa eroplano 'yon. Baka magkaaway pa kami dahil nagpunta 'ko dito. Ayaw mag eskandalo sa loob ng eroplano."Bakit ka nga napadaan?" Tanong niya pa."Magpapaalam sana ako. Aalis na din kami mamaya,
AndreaAnniversary namin ni hagdan ngayon. Gusto niya na mag-celebrate kami kaya nagpaalam ako sa trabaho ko na hindi ako makakapasok ngayon.Pinagbigyan ko na si hagdan sa gusto niya dahil hindi na namin na ce-celebrate ang monthsary namin dahil busy ako sa trabaho.Pangbawi ko na rin sa kaniya dahil wala akong oras na naibibigay sa kaniya."Hindi ganiyan." Natatawang aniya."Pa'no ba?" Tanong ko.Naglakagay kasi kami ng icing sa cake na binake niya. Bonding na naming dalawa ito kaya imbes na bumili ng cake ay nagbake nalang siya.Ako ang nakatalaga sa decorations kaso hindi naman ako artistic kaya hindi ko alam kung pa'no ba gagawing decor dito."Ganito oh." Kinuha niya sa akin ang icing.Siya na ang naglagay ng icing sa cake dahil hindi ko talaga alam kung pa'no. Hirap ng walang alam sa arts kung 'di ma
AndreaBinabantayan ko si papa habang si mama ay naghahanap daw ng pagkakakitaan. Kailanman ay hindi ko naisip na aabot kami sa puntong 'to na maging si mama ay maghahanap ng trabaho.Masyado na kaming nagigipit. Hindi ko na alam kung pa'no pa kami aahon. Hindi ko na alam kung saan pa ako kukuha ng lakas ngayon.Halos wala na ngang pahinga si mama. Naaawa na ako sa kaniya. Wala akong magawa kung 'di ang maawa nalang.Bakit kasi ganito? Bakit kailangan na umabot sa ganito?Ano bang ginawa ko at pati pamilya ko dinamay nila? Laban ay laban. Bakit kapag natalo sila ay pamilya ko ang pinuntirya nila?"'Pa?" Napatayo ako sa kinauupuan ko dahil bigla nalang nag seizure si papa. "'Pa!""Nurse!" Pagtawag ko sa nurse."Anong nangyayari?" Tanong ng isang bantay."Tumawag kayo ng doctor! Bilis!" Utos ko.
ChanoHiling ni Queen na siya na ang lalaban sa lahat. Ewan nga lang namin kung ano ang nangyari at parang mainit ang ulo niya.Habang nag eensayo siya dito sa gym sa bahay nila Xander ay ang lakas ng pagkakatira niya sa lahat.Lahat ng suntok at sipa niya sa punching bag ay malalakas lahat. Parang may pinaghuhugutan siya ng galit."Ayus lang kaya si Queen?" Tanong ni Xander sa akin."Malay ko ba. May problema yata." Sagot ko.Alam naman namin na may problema talaga siya pero parang nadagdagan pa. Hindi naman kasi siya ganiyan, eh.Ano kayang nangyari sa kaniya at bigla siyang nagkaganiyan? May nangyari kaya kanina sa bahay ng mga Crimson o sa gymnasium?"Baka masira niya 'yung punching bag sa lakas ng pag atake niya." Bulong ni Xander sa akin kaya natawa ako."Kaya mo namang palitan 'yan at sa inyo naman
Andrea"'Ma, kamusta na si papa?" Tanong ko kay mama pagkabalik niya galing ospital.Hindi pa rin kasi nagigising si papa hanggang ngayon at nasa ICU pa rin. Sana nga ay magising na siya ngayon.Wala akong pake sa bills ng ospital ang kailangan ko ay magising si papa. Kahit na gaanong kalaki pa ang bayaran namin."Tulog pa rin, 'nak." Bakas ang lungkot sa boses ni mama habang sinasabi iyon.Hindi ko naman siya masisisi dahil asawa niya iyon. Mas matagal niyang kasama si papa kesa sa amin.Mas nahihirapan si mama kesa sa aming mga anak nila. Alam ko 'yon. Kaya wala akong magawa kung 'di ang yakapin nalang siya."Magiging okay din ang lahat, 'ma."Alam kong tinatatagan lang ni mama ang loob niya para sa amin. Gabi gabi kong naririnig si mama na nanalangin at umiiyak.Na trauma din siya sa nangyari sa kaniya
Alistair"They're here." Blake said looking at the entrance of the gymnasium.Napangiti ako ng makita ang tinutukoy niya. Sila Andrea kasama sila Lexa at Raia."Hi, girsl!" Bati ng teammates ko sa kanila.Kumaway sila Raia at Lexa samantalang si Andrea naman ay ngumiti lang ng bahagya sa kanila."How are you feeling?" I asked."Ayus lang." She replied and smiled at me."Pwedeng akin nalang 'yung isa?" Pabirong sabi ng isa sa mga teammates ko habang nakatingin kay Andrea ng nakangiti.Mabilis kong inilagay si Andrea sa gilid ko saka siya sinamaan ng tingin."Who are you smiling at?" Tanong ko sa kaniya."Syota mo ba 'yan?""Yeah. So get off your from her if you don't want me to take it out from you.""Brutal mo, dre."Nagtawanan lang kami d
